Excluding yourself from online is great, apparently sometime in December there will be an all inclusive facility to get excluded from all online gambling in and from UK. You might also consider some gambling blocking software, I would advise you get somebody else to set the password and make sure you don’t accidentally save it in your settings.
I do know how luring the casino can be and cant emphasise strongly enough how important it is to exclude.
If its a bad break up that has sent you down this road, have you asked yourself why other people with bad break ups don’t end up there too?
If you’re still holding onto anything emotional concerning the bad break up or even the relationship, I would suggest you get it out of your system. Easier said than done but the best way to get things out of your system is by talking about them, not necessarily counselling but being honest and earnest about how you’re feeling.
I do know a lot of men find it difficult to talk about emotions, for me it was very hard, and I had to learn, it has helped me no end. I’m not a wimpy bloke mate, in fact somebody has just called me a hardened criminal! I’m not one of those either but I’m afraid I’ve committed many crimes over the years to fund my gambling, (pathetic I know), and it has taken me to prison more than once, and also to rehab.
It’s not easy but a trait amongst some CG’s is holding on to resentment.
Gambling, like any other addiction, creeps up on you. I didn’t get out before it was too late, you still have that chance. I’m not saying you would end up like me, but I never for one minute thought I’d end up like me.
The way to progress through life isn’t by gambling, get your dissertation mate. Make something of your life.
You show great tenacity by writing this post.
Why not nip over the road now and exclude yourself, is there anything stopping you? It could change your life, even save it. Could you ask any of your brothers or mates to come with you?
The sooner the better mate.
There’s a support group/chatroom opening at 10pm and another at 12 try and pop in if you can.
I’m hoping to go in too but will be at least half hour as I have a few things to do myself first.
It would make my day if you went and excluded now mate
