Thank you to everyone for posting both problems and solutions and hints and tips. I have a gambling problem, and I have finally realised that the urge to gamble gets worse (almost irrational) at a certain time of the month. This month, for the first time in a long time I have resisted the urge, and have used the time I would normally waste losing money to get motivation from this wonderful forum.

Thank you so much

A very proud Mummymoo

    Well Done Mummymoo.

    You should be proud of your own inner strength and resilience. The future is going to be better and brighter. Good Luck.

    I know how you feel. I still think about that shilling (5p) each way I put on a horse in 1968 and lost. It's stopped me gambling ever since.

    Well done you.
    If you feel your resolve is at risk of breaking at any point I know there is a gambling support thread on here you could post on (or just post on the main board for some support).
