Trying to stay away and focus on other things helps.

we stayed away for a while when our son was new (5 months) it was easy at that time, but we ended up going one day to get away ans spend time together.

painful and frightening

No

I have self excluded myself several times from local arcades etc. and it is helpful for 6 months but i still seem to find more places and online casinos, must now self exclude from online sites also. Have downloaded gamblock onto my pc this is great as this was my worst temptation as the sites are there 24/7, now i CAN'T play online!

vey hard

Self-exclusion from foxwoods, where most of my damage was done...Truth be told, i try to get back in from time to time...They keep turning me down...Thank God

I have to set roadblocks in my way and I have done that for myself and it has helped me. I have done lifetime self-exclusion for all casinos that I know I can get to.

Tried it a couple of times so going for another method any ideas?

Thsi is the only way for me. I just have to stay away

hasn't worked very effectively

iam still trying to abstain from it all. i havent gambled since december the 31st

today is day 1, the first time I have ever seeked help. It feels great just writing this admitting I have a problem, but there is a long road to recovery. My mother is also a compulsive gambler who is addicted to slot machines, my vice being on-line poker.

When I avoid dairy products I produce less phlegm so theres less of it to try and clear

I just try to not go. I don't have support other than my partner. Constantly think about it still after not going for a few months.
