for me i stopped punting for 6 months last year and saved 15k.it was difficult but after 3 weeks of no punting i was ok.
it was great to go to the bank every week and put money in my account.

after 6 months of saving i went to hawaii for a month and visited 4 islands.had a blast.came back and i've been punting again.
will stop punting again soon and have another holiday.

a little control is allowing me to punt and holiday but not at the same time.
in the last 5 years i would have been punting over 400 times.

punting is very addictive.
i stopped using dope and amphetamines 8 years ago which i was hooked on for 12 years(full blown addict)

i have found if i want to stop doing something that is hurting me i have to not do it at all.
remember the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again but expecting a different result.

good luck fellow punters and thanks for sharing your experiences.
