***** and welcome to Gambling Therapy
If you’ve never accessed help before this is a pretty big day for you and we want to say a big WELL DONE for plucking up the courage to come here. We know it can’t have been easy! We’re easy going here, all we ask of you is that you participate, use the service responsibly and share what you’ve learnt with others here. If you’ve accessed help before, in whatever form, but it either hasn’t helped or you felt you needed to add a little more to you support network, we’re really pleased to see you here. Either way, we’re really looking forward to getting to know you. J
If this is your first visit why not take your time and have a browse around the site? It can be helpful at first to read a little of what people have been talking about on our forums. That way you start getting to know people even before you’ve “met” them in a group and you can get a sense of how things work here. If you’re finding it hard to navigate around the site, you have questions or you’d simply like to talk to a member of the Gambling Therapy team, feel free to drop us a line via e-mail or access our one to one live advice helpline because we’re always happy to help.
I suppose the most important reassurance we can offer you at this stage is that you’re not alone, we’re here with you. As well as the caring and supportive Gambling Therapy Team, there are quite literally THOUSANDS of people here waiting to give you a helping hand on your journey towards recovery. So dive in and get started because you can do this.
One last thing, this is a FREE service but we are a charity and we rely on donations. So if you are able, please donate whatever you can afford by accessing our donate page.
Take care
The Gambling Therapy
Hi Adele
Gambling Therapy is a small charity with very limited funding therefore we simply do not have the staff available to deliver the kind of support you are referring to. In addition to this, the forums are predominantly peer led, they are a place for our online therapeutic community to support each other with minimal intervention from us as that is what our groups and helpline are for.
When Velvet chooses to support people in the F&F forum she does so in her own time and has often expressed a wish for the people using that forum to be more proactive in their support of each other which would allow her to take a step back.
The forums are YOUR space to share and support each other and you are free to engage in them as much or as little as you like, they will be what you make of them.
Kind Regards
Janey
Ciao Adele
Gambling Therapy è un piccolo ente di beneficenza con fondi molto limitati, quindi semplicemente non abbiamo il personale disponibile per fornire il tipo di supporto a cui ti riferisci. Oltre a questo, i forum sono prevalentemente guidati da pari, sono un luogo in cui la nostra comunità terapeutica online può sostenersi a vicenda con un intervento minimo da parte nostra poiché è a questo che servono i nostri gruppi e la linea di assistenza.
Quando Velvet sceglie di supportare le persone nel forum F&F, lo fa nel suo tempo libero e ha spesso espresso il desiderio che le persone che utilizzano quel forum siano più proattive nel sostenersi reciprocamente, il che le consentirebbe di fare un passo indietro.
I forum sono il TUO spazio per condividere e sostenersi a vicenda e sei libero di impegnarti in essi quanto o poco vuoi, saranno ciò che ne farai.
Cordiali saluti

Quando Velvet opta por apoiar as pessoas no fórum F&F, ela o faz em seu próprio tempo e muitas vezes expressou o desejo de que as pessoas que usam esse fórum sejam mais pró-ativas no apoio umas às outras, o que lhe permitiria dar um passo atrás.
Os fóruns são SEU espaço para compartilhar e apoiar uns aos outros e você é livre para se envolver neles o quanto quiser, eles serão o que você fizer deles.

Hasartmänguteraapia on väike heategevusorganisatsioon, millel on väga piiratud rahalised vahendid, seetõttu pole meil lihtsalt töötajaid, kes saaksid pakkuda sellist tuge, millele viitate. Lisaks sellele on foorumid valdavalt vastastikused, need on koht, kus meie online -terapeutiline kogukond saab üksteist toetada minimaalse sekkumisega meie poolt, sest selleks on meie rühmad ja abitelefon.
Kui Velvet otsustab inimesi toiduvalmistamise ja -foorumi foorumis toetada, teeb ta seda omal ajal ning on sageli avaldanud soovi, et foorumit kasutavad inimesed oleksid üksteist aktiivsemalt toetamas, mis võimaldaks tal sammu tagasi astuda.
Foorumid on TEIE ruum üksteise jagamiseks ja toetamiseks ning võite nendega vabalt tegeleda nii palju või vähe kui soovite, need on need, mida te neist teete.
Parimate soovidega

Gambling Therapy는 자금이 매우 제한된 소규모 자선 단체이므로 귀하가 언급한 지원을 제공할 수 있는 직원이 없습니다. 이 외에도 포럼은 주로 동료 주도로 진행되며 온라인 치료 커뮤니티가 최소한의 개입으로 서로를 지원하는 장소입니다. 이것이 우리 그룹과 헬프라인의 목적입니다.
Velvet이 F&F 포럼에서 사람들을 지원하기로 선택할 때 그녀는 자신의 시간에 그렇게 하며 종종 해당 포럼을 사용하는 사람들이 서로를 지원하는 데 더 적극적이고 그녀가 한 걸음 물러날 수 있기를 바랍니다.
포럼은 서로 공유하고 지원하는 공간이며 원하는 만큼 자유롭게 참여할 수 있습니다.
안부 인사
제니Hi Guys
Due to the nature of the content I felt it necessary to remove W4nt’s post but rest assured he has been contacted by us to discuss a way forward.
Thanks
JaneyHi SJ
I’m so sorry your having such a rotten time right now but I have to say the fact you haven’t gambled under these difficult circumstances is a real testament to just how remarkable you are! I think an appropriate saying here would be:
On a good day, everything goes well, the sun is shining, we see friends and laugh and go to bed without having gambled…
On a GREAT day, everything goes wrong, it rains all day, we row with the kids, stub our toe on the door, have a migraine….and go to bed without gambling.
You won’t give up SJ because you haven’t given up yet!
Take care
Janey
Hi Pony express
If possible, please could you use the same thread for your updates rather than starting a new one each time? It just makes it easier for people to keep track on where you are on our forums in order to respond to you and support you.

You’re doing great SJ, keep up the good work and I will hopefully see you in a group soon where I can share in even more of your successes 🙂

Your thread was closed as you reside within Great Britain and the cut off date for GB members accessing the site has now passed. Thank you for your contributions to Gambling Therapy, we wish you well in your recovery and urge you to access GamCare for further support.
Kind Regards
JaneyHi Guys
I’d like to interject here and just add that Velvet is only one person and she is only human. She can not be all things to all people and this is YOUR community too so please support each other and do not rely on one person to do all the supporting for you.
Thanks for reading
Janey
