Hi Stevie
Than you for your post on my thread.
It is completely possible to stop gambling – I think therapy is a great idea. It is something which I never thought I could do but which has helped me enormously.
I think accepting that paying debts will take time is crucial to recovery .
Many people try to pay back really fast – they don’t treat themselves and the only benefit they get on a daily basis from stopping is handing out money to debts ( and of course reducing debts). Treating yourself to small treats is so important so thay our brains start to really enjoy the benefits of not gambling .
Keep strong Stevie – if you get urges please remember there is a helpline on here where you can talk to someone and also a 24 hour helpline on the Gamcare site .
