You said “hoping that my desire to stay away from this poison, will be strong enough.”
I hope you desire is strong too, but I know it will not be enough on its own. In order to stop – you will need to do 4 things.
1) Lose access to gambling. As others have said put blocks on your devices – bar yourself from physical locations where you gamble. Make it as hard as you can to actually gamble.
2) Lose access to finance. If you can, get someone else (a loved one or trusted friend) to handle your finances for you – until you are strong enough to do so yourself. Keep your personal float as small as possible – just for the essentials.
3) Get great support around you. Again, if it is possible – open up to people who you know will support you. See if there is self-help (Gamblers’ Anonymous or similar) in your area. Ask at your medical centre for counselling support.
4) Find something else (non – gambling) to do with your time. When the urges come (and they will) ensure you have something else – no matter how trivial – that will take your mind off gambling. Netflix gets mentioned a lot on this forum. I now take long walks!
Yes keep posting here to let us know how you are progressing and read around the site as there is a treasure chest of stories, ideas and suggestions that you can make the most of.
I wish you well.
