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

Hi Nr23, I hope you are still reading. If it was that easy there would be no addicts in the world, we would all be “cured”.

Maybe hang around a little and stay close to support. What did you get from the book? What positive changes are you making in your life?

There’s a good chance that at 21 you haven’t made any irreparable damage to your brain as most of us have and that the addiction didn’t get through to your bones.
But don’t take it lightly. They’ve built billion dollar casinos with money from people who, just like you, thought they would never gamble again.

So pleased for you that you have beaten this addiction. I have been gamble free since December and it is a great feeling. I have found the support on here to be so helpful.
This book must be so amazing that in four days you can pay all your bills and know the addiction is gone ! After almost two months I sometimes feel the addiction is gone but usually it is just waiting until I let my guard down..
Please be careful NR23. Many on here have read the book, been convinced they are cured and then found themselves back in the cycle of gambling . I have tried many things and felt I’d left the addiction behind and then it struck again.
Most of us already know we won’t ever win… Unfortunately that knowledge doesn’t seem to stop us trying . Keeping your barriers high wont do any harm . I truly hope you have beaten this addiction..

Blessings Nr23… And well done !!!

Hi NR here is a thought for you,

You used books by this author to quit several previous problems you had in the past? then moved an to anther problem? Then eventually on to gambling? Switching from one problem to another isn’t what many would describe as working recovery? As I asked before what positive changes has this book meant to you? What positive changes are you making to your life so that gambling isn’t replaced by yet another addiction?
