Stopped using Gamstop in July 2019, first post here so hello folks. Just wanted to share a troubling thought I have been getting the last few days, I know I am excluded from all British sites and that has worked for me up to a few days ago when I noticed something online about people could search for non Gamstop gambling sites, now I cant get it out of my mind and am for the first time worried about relapsing, but I know if I did it would be the end for me, as I dont know how I survived before as I had over £90,000 debt which I kept hidden for so long. Any thoughts how I can deal with this?
@superswan contact gamcare get a free code for gamban and download it to all you devices its blocking software. Also ring yoyr bank and ask them to block gambling transactions or move to account that does.
Its really not worth messing up your progress for just remember how u felt when you lost all your money because the same would just happen again

After a tough few days I finally found myself where I need to be. I've been in and out of gambling since 15 plus years and always made excuses and thought I had control and the truth is it had me wrapped up. I recently been confronted by my partner and home truths were unrevealed and trust has been lost and I sit here wondering why it took this long to engage properly. I'm saying its 2 days clear because that was when it truly hit home about how selfish and deceitful I've been. My Fiancee and I recently found out we would be having one more mouth to feed and I will hold myself to account and be the partner I know I can be and want to be (2 Days) which is 2 days better when I was hiding the truth. Any support or advice would be grateful to me and my partner.
Thanks Lou, got through this brief difficult period after reading and reading all the heart breaking stories here, thanks for your advice, I know its there now if I need it. Just would like to mention, I just went on the **** review of Gamstop and would you believe it some moron has left a link for *** casinos etc. I cant believe these people, but it has the opposite effect on me now and I hate everything the gambling industry stands for even more after seeing that.
