      Hi all, new to the forum. I am now 1 week without gambling (long may it continue). It all came to a head last week when i had lost so much money (majority not my own) and i couldn’t see a way out. I eventually broke down and told my partner and family. They have been amazing in the support so far and i really don’t want to disappoint them. I honestly don’t feel the need to gamble right now i think because i’m still in shock and ashamed of coming clean to family. i really want to feel normal again and move on with my life. Any advice or links to things that have helped others is welcome. Thanks for reading x

      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.

      As well as the forums New Members are invited to join Charles in the New Members Practical Advice Group On Mondays at 21:00 (UK) and Thursday at 19:00(UK)

      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
