Welcome to the forum. I would recommend Charles facilitated groups for new members where u will get a lot of advice and support. I did the Gordon Moody women’s programme and occasionally go to GA. GA isn’t for everyone. I did it twice a week for three months but found it to be not as helpful as gma.
Well done for making the decision to stop. Gambling online gives us a big hit of dopamine when we enter the trance like zone of compulsive gambling. We have to decide that we are powerless over gambling and that our lives have become unmanageable, and then get as much support as we can. We cannot stop without support, that is one thing all of us who are in recovery say. I get most of my support from friends on this site.
Many of us hit rock bottom for the umpteenth time and then for me, it was the threat losing my home that finally made me stop. This is a progressive illness and it only gets worse, the more we carry on. Good luck and keep posting.
