I attended a Topic Group meeting on here Monday. The topic being “fighting the urges”
n
nLike the previous topic meeting, I found this very useful focusing on one specific topic, and the other in the group shared some great advice/thoughts.
n
nSome of the takeaways.
n

n
• Blockers can be a great way to stop/limit urges happening. If we do not have the ability to gamble, or we at least make it as difficult for us to gamble as we can, the urges/addition are less likely to surfice

n

• Having go to alternative activities for when we get an urge can be helpful. This can be anything from running, exercise, crosswords, drawing, writing etc

n

• Encompansing the blockers and activities, having items in place to delay how fast you can bet/gamble can help the urge subside before you succumb to the temptation.
