have only been gamble free for a few days, but have realised this site helps so much. Even if people do not reply to your topic, every time you feel that urge to go online come on here instead, then rather than spend half hour/hour gambling just have a read through people’s stories and replies. Have found with me that it makes the urge disappear, would rather be addicted on here than online casino.
Well done Pedro,

Get on the group chat tonight for a bit if you can. You’re right it really does help coming on here reading others stories and receiving advice off others who have all been in the same position.
The early days are tough but it gets easier and you’ll get more determined to beat this Illness as days, weeks and months pass by. Keep it up, I’m sure your head is starting to feel clearer already!Â

I totally agree Pedro.
I come on here, have a read and share some advice, hoping it will help someone.
Then I go onto the forum of the football team I support, have a read and share in a communal rant!!
Both help and the latter exposes me to sport (which I love) and allows me to be involved in a non-gambling way again.
Affected by gambling?
