Have you thought about giving meeting a go, would you consider trying meetings?<br></div><div style='font-size:16px';><strong>Judy</strong> :  I have been attending meetings but it’s very hard it’s at this time of night that’s particularly bad for me <br></div><div style='font-size:16px';><strong>Tam H.</strong> :  Which meetings do you go to? Have you put blocks on your phone/laptop etc?<br></div><div style='font-size:16px';><strong>Judy</strong> :  Yes I have all the blocks but I’ve got around it so they are not helping<br></div><div style='font-size:16px';><strong>Tam H.</strong> :  That’s the difficultly, my understanding is unless someone else puts the blocks on its easy to get by them and I have also spoken to people who are using over seas ones <br></div><div style='font-size:16px';><strong>Judy</strong> :  Yes I use ones not on gamstop<br></div><div style='font-size:16px';><strong>Tam H.</strong> :  That’s the issue then Judy, stopping initially is ok, staying stopped is the hard part and putting barriers in place is key, do you have anyone able to help you with putting other blocks in place?<br></div><div class='msgln'><span class='left-info'>User <b class='user-name-left'>Judy</b> has left the chat session.</span><br></div><br>== This Chat Has Been Closed ==<br>Press "Exit Chat" to return to homepage.
