Been obsessed ever since I was a kid but now I’m earning a wage I’ve splurged a fair bit and can’t stop ?? Any advice on how to stop or to overcome this would be amazing ??

Jay, what do you think you might advise someone else asking you that same question? That's not me avoiding you're question but I can't answer it either. All of us have to find our own way through it and there are many factors contributing to making a decision to stop once and for all. Usually a person will reach their very rock bottom where they have had so much pain from the addiction they simply can't take anymore. That's the theory anyway although I seem to keep reaching deeper levels or a rock bottom in my own journey its quite scary actually. Maybe start by asking yourself what brought you here, to the Gamcare forum, to register and post the question? 

All the best, Simon.

Morning.

My problem is slots too.  I'm very new to my journey, but what has helped me is remembering the how I felt when I joined gamcare, the total despair, fear, guilt and terror. I never want to feel like that again. 

Come back on here and keep reading people stories, they gave be strength and hope.

Stay strong and positive x
