After nearly losing the love of my life and borrowed money off my folks due to gambling on machines in pubs, I've taken the first step to try and cure this addictive illness. Any tips on stopping would be gratefully accepted!
Hey DOND.... welcome! You found this site didn't you? That's your first step.... Tell us more about yourself for a start.... you will find so many people here to support and help you! Start a recovery diary..... you will soon see that you are NOT alone. Well done on your first step. Be strong. Helen. X
Hi deathbyDOND
Welcome to the forum.
Well done on recognising the problem with your gambling and for seeking advice.
Please feel welcome to talk things through with a GamCare adviser on 0808 8020 133 or on our netline. The advisers can provide emotional support and helpful information, as well as facilitate referrals to one to one counselling appointments if you’d like to access that service too.
Best wishes
Rachel.
