Mar 29, 2019 When you have the desire to gamble, stop at that moment and write down your thoughts (possible trigger such as thinking about gambling), feelings (perhaps boredom which is a trigger to gambling), and ways you are going to cope with your trigger.
- If you want to stop gambling right now, the first step begins by stopping to carry money. This includes credit cards, debit cards, access to bank accounts, checks, loans, etc. If you want to stop starting right now, block all access to money. Carry only a very small budget for food each day.
- Are you or a loved one dealing with a gambling problem? Explore the warning signs and symptoms and learn how to stop. What is gambling addiction and problem gambling? Gambling problems can happen to anyone from any walk of life. Your gambling goes from a fun, harmless diversion to an unhealthy.
Hello and thanks for starting a thread in the Gambling Therapy forums

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.
