I'm not sure if this is the same thing that I used to do back in the 80's but I used to go to these spas where they would wrap your body in ace bandages drenched in a "natural" solution. Then you'd wear big yellow rain gear/plastic sweat pants type clothing and then sit in a lounge chair for 45 minutes watching TV. The only thing I think it helped was make my skin soft. I think it's another one of those temporary things unless you keep it up and work with it.

I have IM with Windows Live Messenger, I think it's a great idea. I have IM convers. & people ask want it's for, so it gives a chance to educate also.

T.Y. for the info

Yup, it is a big help! I learned a lot from it.

I had tried Gamblock and it completely messed up my computer. My husband had to redo it all. If you are one that likes to play on Pogo or any other free games, good luck with that, you won't be able to. I you want to buy airline tickets, good luck you won't be able to. If you want to play just some free computer games, good luck to you.
I will never put that back on my computer again. It is a pain in the butt!

I think this is nothing but removing water from your body. It's not a permanent solution

Very good book.

Love this book!!

I thought this was hugely insightful. However I found the book to late.

I checked this out but it wasn't free. It costs $5.00

whyquit.com has them for free!

You can also download this one for free. It's the quitmeter I use and it also tracks your milestones and allows you to add friends to your meter. Check it out...it's virus free. http://www.dedicateddesigns.com/qk/download.htm

Found this one that works well with Linux...found it off of whyquit.com's website. thanks!

Its true about gamblock, its a good antigaming program, the best actually, but it will block other stuff not related to gaming, some things in youtube and other stuff I can't fugure out why. Also ruined my business computer and had to buy a new one and almost lost my essential information. Also once the year license is up you usually don't have to bother buying another one because it never comes off your computer even when the license expires. 4 computers of mine still will not quit the program even though all are expired. So i guess i get free protection now.

If I could give this zero stars I would. This program is so bad that I registered an account here just to save others from the insane amount of aggro I've been through this past 4 days.

I bought it to nip a gambling problem in the bud... I've self-excluded from all the sites I had accounts with, and went and joined a ton more just so I could self-exclude immediately, ion case my resolve broke in the future and I found myself scouring google for more casinos/bookies.

I had the bright idea of also using a software that would block gambling sites, in case even after all the measures, I managed to find a site somewhere. Found gamblock, purchased it, and boy oh boy that's where it went downhill fast.

As the others have said: it blocks sites like
facebook
the bbc
'adult' sites
in fact anything with on-page text like 'bet' or 'winning' - even out of context entirely to wanting to gamble, it refuses to open, and also grays out EVERY OTHER TAB you have open in your browser. So if like me, you also use your computer for work... say goodbye to work, and hello to frustration upon frustration of losing tasks that are web-based, as it kills your other tabs while you try and read the news on the bbc.

It also completely disables task manager, again a thing I *need* for my work, so now I'm at: not being able to read the news; work being lost in other browser tabs; being unable to check tasks/processes

'support' started off ok, but quickly degenerated in a nazi-like response with such questions as 'what anti virus do you have in place if you are visitng adult sites'... wtf lol... now I get that not everyone likes the old adult entertainment, but talk about grasp at straws and deflect, when my issues were explained thoroughly to the support (I guess that basically means 'owner') guy, stefano.

point blank refused to revoke my licence so I could get back to work on my computer, point blank refused to issue any refund, so after 4, now coming on 5 days of lost work, I've had to go and buy a 2TB external drive to back up all my work, in order to reformat my computer, to be able to use it again for non-gambling related things.

Great idea, and will probably even suit a chunk of surfers, but oh dear woeful execution, and truly abysmal support.

I'm out 5 days wages so far (at least 2 to come while I backup/reformat) and I earn pretty well - I'll have lost high 4 figures by the time I get my computer back up and running.

Stay well away!!
