[Hammo]

Yeah going well the test will be tonight with all the football that is on haha! I’m determined though. Hope your doing well mate keep strong

[Hammo]

Talking makes it much easier to achieve so check in as many times as you like mate I’ll always be on the other end

[Hammo]

Well done mate keep it up. It will get much easier just look back on today as a stepping stone if you have done it today you can do it any other day! Onto tomorrow now!

[Hammo]

I don’t mind! We all need support in quite happy for him to stay and express his journal on here

[Hammo]

I have listened to that song a numerous amount of times in one night just to remember what loosing money and betting is- an addiction! But aye I have deleted my score app and anything to do with sport

[Hammo]

I have listened to this quite a lot to help me, when having bad thoughts about life etc, not gambling but about an addiction

Yeah I’ve done that even made some in my families name without them realising so bit naughty but about time I broke the habit! No bother mate just keep yourself busy!

[Hammo]

Now then lads! Day two going well been stuck in at work keep my mind of things. I have the same problem a dx I would bet on anything during the day at work etc, Serbia u19s or something haha, all that has came to a stop now. But yes last night was really good spent it with my girlfriend you don’t actually realise how precious time is, normally I would be sat on my phone online gambling etc but life without gambling looks like it will be a good one. Geordie, that all made sense mate and put a smile on my face that you have thought of a strategy to keep your finances spot on shows that it needs to be done as if someone with your experience still get urges me and Avfc will certainly just need to keep us right so that may be something I look into. I have took first steps self excluding from every site online and in shop, looking at downloading a gambling block for my phone I’ll let use know how that goes if I find a suitable one. Hope everything is okay today Avfc keep strong mate think about your family and girlfriend!! With the mate situation yeah that could be good he could motivate you from not going into shop as long as you could trust him?

[Hammo]

Good luck mate! I’ve breezed through today kept myself busy and haven’t had a thought of gambling! Honest mate I look at my girlfriend and she does everything for me and I look at how much I’ve wasted and think if only she knew I put a smile on but inside it’s killing me! But onto Day 2 tomorrow and hopefully onto many more days, I haven’t been on here for long myself and feel there is a lack of support from others, geordie has commented on both my posts and is a top lad motivated you to do better. As for this journal I’m doing it for myself to look back at what I put and the feelings I had next time I have the urge to gamble so it stops me. Good luck mate can always post on here to let me know how your getting on

[Hammo]

I’m listening this time geordie! Stopped for good mate, day 1 today and don’t have the slight urge to gamble knocks me sick after the money I lost yesterday but as you said the money has gone now nothing I can do! Will keep updating with how I’m doing but I’m determined this time. Thanks for the support mate

[Hammo]

Exactly right mate. I only do ￡10 footy bets though not ￡100 that would be my weekly apprentice wage haha! I completely understand what your saying and for the last 2 weeks I haven’t put a bet on a Saturday so it’s going great! Thanks for the support mate hugely appriciated! Take your advice fully on board and try to knock it on the head completely before it’s too late

[Hammo]

Same issue I have, live in the middle of the town there is 2 coral shops within 20 doors of me, and then a ladbrokes and 2 betfreds. I instantly after loosing pay check upon pay check sled excluded myself, didn’t help as I then turned to gambling online excessive amounts, literally all money coming in is going out on gambling or should I say was. Self excluded online all apart one account, William hill and I have set blocks so I can only use sports. It gets easier just have to put fundementals in place like self exclusion to give you that help in hand. All faith in you the first week or so is the hardest!
