    My advice would be to try and get away from familiar surroundings. Go somewhere new for the weekend. If you can keep your days full of other things it does take the edge off. Its little changes that make a difference too. My usual route home from work took me past the bookies so I went the longer way to avoid it. It’s hard but once you’be stopped for a while you’ll look back and see everything a lot clearer. Good luck SGF2012

    So sorry to hear how you’re hurting but people can do amazing things when they’re at their lowest. I gave up 13 months ago after the birth of my daughter as I vowed never to put her through what I put others through. If it wasn’t for her I’d still be gambling now guaranteed. She was my reason and I think everyone ***** some kind of trigger to give them that little bit extra. I almost lost everything but now feel as if I’ve gained everything. I was at rock bottom – losing everything we worked for and you get to a point where you can’t tell anyone about your losses and can’t talk about the wins you need to keep them for your next bet. It’s such a lonely place and I really feel for you. Good luck and I hope you make it. SGF2012
