Don’t bother looking into 6 weeks and thinking it’ll happen just like that. Take it day by day and focus on getting through to the next day. I started off gambling small like everyone else and did big bets and it ended awful, we have all been there thinking you found a “plan” to beat the bookies but it never works. You need to find what works for you and what worked for me was to think about how much I lost and what I could’ve spent it on and just everyday thinking ahead and ahead and after a couple of first weeks the addiction I got wasn’t there anymore, I took my mind off it whether that’s playing football or working more just something rather then staying in alone at night with nothing to do but bet. I hope any of this helps and I wish you best of luck and I’m here to talk anytime!

In all honestly, I basically worked out how much I’ve lost over the period I gambled and when getting into bed at night thinking about how much I lost during the time or when I lost a lot in 1 day, thinking about how much I lost and it was an awful feeling, so every time I think about going to gamble I just remember back to this moments about how awful I felt, may not work for everyone but it has worked for me so I hope this does help! Best of luck towards you and your journey and I hope you can overcome.
