Welcome to Gambling therapy…

Nice to see a new face and a new post.. nice in the way that it is great to see someone trying to help themselves from this addiction.. it is hard to take that first step for help but you have done it.. there is plenty of help and advice here, there are groups one on one advisors, and the forum which you can post on every day like where you have started here.. just keep posting about your progress, as people read your posts they will respond to you. Its a pretty awful addiction that we have but we can live with it using all the help we can get.. try a Gamblers anonymous meeting if you have one near you? Just keep coming back here, and keep on trying each day, just for this day dont gamble, dont think of tomorrow or next week, just get through this day without gambling..

Hello and thanks for starting a thread in the Gambling Therapy forums

Here at Gambling Therapy we pride ourselves on being a caring and diverse online community who can help and support you with the difficulties you’re currently facing. We understand that this might be a tough time for you, particularly if you’re new to recovery, so come here as often as you need to and participate in the forums, access online groups and connect to the live advice helpline if you need one to one support. We’re in this together!

Here on the forum you can share your experiences in a safe, supportive and accepting environment. The beauty of writing it all down is that you can take your time and you will be creating a record of your progress that you can look back on if it ever feels like you’re not moving forward. So, share as much or as little as you like but do try to stick to keeping just one thread in this forum so people know where to find you if they want to be updated on your progress or share something with you.

And on that note….

I’m going to hand you over to our community because I’m sure they will have some words of wisdom for you 🙂

Take care

The Gambling Therapy Team

How are you now? I’m glad you decided to come here and that you have decided to stop gambling and face your addiction and its consequences.

This is the most important decision. But I’m sure you don’t need anyone to tell you that the next steps are not easy. Most people make most progress if they have plenty of support. I hope you will explore this site and find what is useful for you. Also, the more you share about your experiences, the better people here will know you and how to respond in a helpful way. As P says, too, you may find it good to have a support group such as GA too.

Keep in touch and I wish you well.

Monique
