with you as these venues are obviously triggering for paddy power shops a self exclusion form can be posted in the form is available for download here time management many people who seek help for gambling are spending vast amounts of time either gambling or preoccupied with gambling related thoughts and activities in early recovery it is extremely important to plan your free time especially around the times and days when you used to gamble regularly payday is often a big trigger for many people likewise boredom is a common trigger for many people planning your free time goes a long way to reducing urges to gamble a few minutes of planning every day or once a week will go a long way to helping you get into stable recovery financial accountability this is easily the most useful tool in the box having a trusted person family member or close friend monitor your spending is an essential part of relapse prevention in the absence of accountability it is just too easy to talk yourself into gambling again financial monitoring is a challenge for all involved but it can be made more straightforward by using digital tools such as shared pockets on revolut this allows your accountability partner to get a notification every time money from the pocket is spent if you have gambling related debts it is really important to put a realistic repayment plan together mabs provide an excellent service and we have referred many people to them over the years who have found their support invaluable how can gambling be addictive check out this blog post and podcast to find out
