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 Lostitall and welcome,

Well done on looking for help here.

This forum is where people arrange to meet in some of the open groups we have here. Can I suggest you copy and paste what you have posted and start a thread in the My Journal Forum? It is a busier forum and you will get a lot of support and feedback there.

Alternatively I’m here in the group at 8pm (UK Time) if you pop in and ask I will be able to move it for you.

Read the other stories in the My Journal Forum as well; you will see many stories similar to your own. You will also see the success stories, what are they doing that you can apply to your own situation.

I myself facilitate some of the groups here, click on Support Groups and you will see the full schedule. I am also a Compulsive gambler myself. As I said, I’m in the groups for the next hour and a half or so, I hope you can pop in and have a chat.

Hopefully I will see you in a group, if not this evening then soon, I also look forward to reading your progress in the My Journal Forum.
