Hello
I am new here and haven’t gambled for over 3 years.. the last couple of months it all started again. I started small and now back in a lot of debt 🙁 being gamble free starts from now I just need some encouragement. Thanks
Hello 8da04j7f6p,
Welcome to the GamCare Forum and thank you for sharing your first post with us here.
Well done for reaching out and re-engaging with your recovery journey. It seems that you have experienced a slight slip-up along the way, however you have done well to pick yourself up from this and you are not letting that be a block, and are wanting to continue making progress to work on this.
Recovery is very much an ongoing journey, there are good days and sometimes there might be days where you find yourself struggling. However, you have a choice in how you respond to those ‘bad’ days to make sure you are able to pick yourself up stronger and continue on the journey you have chosen for yourself - which seems to be exactly what you have done!
We are here to support you along the way and you can always contact us through to our helpline to speak to one of our advisers for debrief on the situation - space to go through this together with someone. Our helpline is open 24/7 and you can contact us via call on 0808 8020 133 or go through out website and chat to someone.
Best wishes,
Brielle

You've done three years before brother, you can do it again. Have some compassion for yourself. You've misstepped and made a mistake, you are human.
Don't use that as an excuse to continue gambling, but realise, you're not perfect; no one is. Get back on the bandwagon, best of luck to you!
