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 youre currently facing. We understand that this might be a tough time for you, particularly if youre 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. Were in this together!
Given your low feelings at the moment, it might be an idea to contact http://www.befrienders.org/ to talk through some of the difficult emotions you’re facing. As horrible as you feel right now, these feelings will pass….feeling overwhelmed will give way to being able to cope and figure out how to deal with the issues you’re facing when you’re further away from your last bet. Everything’s raw right now, but it can and WILL get better if you engage with the support provided here and focus on your recovery.
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 youre 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….
Im going to hand you over to our community because Im sure they will have some words of wisdom for you 🙂
Take care
The Gambling Therapy Team
