***** thank you for the kind words of support,
I am still GF.
Now after the ban the missus has given me her card to go do a small shopping trip… doesn’t need to worry….(even me i dont need to worry 🙂
I am banned from everywhere near us and there are not any lottery/scratch card vendors nearby.
so I feel relived in many ways it much easier because if I get any urges   … there is just no place that I can go to act on that though… so help combat the urges… so for all you who thinking about self exclusion  I personally would highly recommend it.
So ok I have had a few urges since my last post…but I have tackled them fairly quickly…
Somewhere relate to some of my Facebook apps which have gambling (free not for real)
I had a chat and it was best to delete so I delete a few apps from my Facebook account…well actually you have to block them.
This time I am not doing anything to do with "gambling" ….related to gambling any shapes or form…
so today I am probably going to go and do a bit of swimming…relaxing sunday.
This evening I will get some work done. My sister has just left back after her visit she had a good time.
I am still feeling very positive… I am glad I am back to GT.
Thank you all for your support
Take care all

@ Hi Geordie,, I would not put to much pressure on yourself…. so I would stop the weed  manage 3 to 6 months…. Then maybe try smoking…. You are doing well!!
@ jazz well done mate on the self-ban you should be proud…. In a few week you are going to be thinking this was  a gr8 idea… and with  GF time you will  feel much better!
@ Richie the literature looks like Ga but twisted to smoking (having said that I seen the same for AA) curiosity got the better of me…. This topic is extremely interesting because as you mentioned earlier… with smoking I have tried to quit several *****… but failed some***** lasted for a very long time   (about 12 weeks) the life got in the way …. Started smoking…
Any how looking at it now it feels like me trying to beat gambling ok I been trying for a while… I had a few hurdles along the way… but the important thing is I never gave up… the thought of quitting has always been in the back of my mind… recently also I know about 3 people at work who all given up smoking around the same time …1 is back smoking the other one is past a year… and another had a few slips…
But it really feels like our own support group we are al sharing experience with one another encouraging each other…. And asking each other what we are doing with the spare money we saved from smoking….
Unfortunately I still said I did not save much…… even smoking I have not quit by myself (also the missus quite about a week before I did so we been supporting each other on that one)
Moral of the Story never give up…. If you need support you will find it….:)

I quit smoking 9 months ago now; I still can not believe it… I used to be a proper heavy smoker 20 or more a day if I was gambling or drinking the amount of **** would increase….
Since then I slipped in gambling  but still off the ****…
How I did it , on my birthday I said I will have 1 last *** at mind night and I have not had one since…
Went cold turkey…I am hoping to use things I learn from abstaining from smoking in my gambling recovery….
