From people who came through it
“Hi, you. Eighteen months ago I was exactly where you are. Back then it was betting apps on my phone at 3am. My kids say I'm back. Hang on.”
Bright from Cape Coast L · been through gambling problems“Reading this late at night? I've been there. I was right where you are not that long ago, about a year. For me it was self exclusion from the sites. I picked up the guitar again. It doesn't stay this heavy. Keep going, even slowly.”
tariq_dust · been through gambling problems“If you've just found this place, I was where you are nearly four years ago. The worst part was chasing losses. My kids say I'm back.”
Sofía B · been through gambling problems“If you are starting to think about stopping, you are already brave. The first step is the hardest. I am not far ahead of you, but I can tell you that self-exclusion helped me. It is not a cure, but it stops the easy access. Tell someone you trust. I hid it for too long. You do not have to do this alone. There are people who understand.”
