Hi Ashley,

Well done, it now begins with you and accept all the support you can.

The easiest part is to say stop when the tap runs dry.

It is very important to accept the responsibility and the outcome of our ways and addiction, and put ones mind to believing that will change or even better has changed.

We are possibly in that 2-3 percent with the problem, and I will say it again, the grass is much more greener on the side of the 97 percent.

Accept that we have an addiction and resolve to beat it, and come out the winner. It is great that you have made that choice.

I am on day 4, but I believe that I am going to succeed this time.

Yes your family need you more than than you can ever imagine.

Best of luck, you are with a great support group on GamCare.

Hi Ashley ,

 

How are you feeling today ? Have you looked into all forms of exclusion online and in shops as this is a very good time to do it when at your lowest point and no money to be tempted with i know this sounds harsh but i've been there and it is hard but so worth it as the next time you have money you'll be able to use it for things that matter and there will be less temptation as you will have blocked all forms of it by then.
