Struggling again.

Hi Roger - Exclude for the minimum 5 years.  It really does help.   The fact you 'found a few sites recently' indicates you are trying to gamble again,  have you managed to abstain for the last few years?

I did same mate, I’ve froze my bank account and I’m excluded from every site now, I’ve lost my partner and think it’s to late to win her back so In a pretty low place at minute, do feel determined to sort this just hopefully my other half can give me a chance to show I have finally changed 

Hello  rogertb,

Sorry you're struggling. It looks like you were in a similar position a few years back as well. If you haven't already you'd be very welcome to contact us on the Helpline - you can call us on 0808 8020 133 or webchat. We're open 24 hours. There may be a lot more support out there for you as well as Gamstop. There's blocking software, and there's free treatment and support groups. Or you can just talk things over, whatever helps you most right now. 

You might also want to consider starting a diary over in the Recovery Diaries section. 

Keep posting,

Thanks all, really good of you and the support is important, I think I've got the 'blocking' sorted again. I know some banks stop customers paying for on-line gambling but I'm with the Co-op and I don't think they do it, I'll give them a call, I'll also reduce my credit card limit to a few hundred (for emergencies) if I can, I've currently maxed out at £2K ... I guess it's a day at a time.
