Hi I'm Joanne and 2 days ago I confessed to being a gambling addict to my partner. I'm new to this and will take all the support I'm offeredÂ

Hi Joanne,Â

Hi Joanne, well done for the confession. It can't have been easy.
Put some practical measures in place to make it hard for you to gamble.
Fill your time with other things, healthy things.
The further away from gambling we get, the better we start to feel about ourselves.
All the best.
