I've been gambling since being 17 and I'm now 36 a lot as changed from starting to now using Gamstop and putting other blocks in place as helped massive but no matter how small or big you try to control it it still creeps back to take over my life it takes all your time from you any way long story short I started my own business which is going really well but can be so much better when Im not gambling all my spare cash is being bet on mainly football or horses via a WhatsApp betting account my partner would run for me and I know how much better off I will be if I stop speand more time with my children family male more time to push the new business so I've decided I'm going to do my best to stop Im stating the councilling course online and via phone next week and I'm changing my life style currently already feels better here's to a better future rather than an awfull one the stories I could tell

Thanks for the comments guys I'm on day 12 now so busy with work it's what I'm aiming at at the min to keep busy at nights I'm spending more time with my kids and playing chilling with my family hope.

 

I start some councilling with gam cares in the next week something I've never done before so hopefully might help me understand a little more to why or what trigger me to gamble it's early days but I'm all ready feeling better with not after worrying about where the next bet is or what I'm going bet on today's a hard day as it sat so having a day with family and a few work things to complete I've not had chance to comment on many people's diary's but will definitely be taking a look later thanks tom

Day 18 not really put much effort in to stop as I'm just so busy with my business but tonight it got to me a bit and was thinking could I have a bet on football tomoz and take the stress away I've put blocks in place and I won't be doing but it shows how it can just hit you at any time day 18 and at this minute it's hard
