From people who came through it

  • “If you're at the start of this, I won't pretend it's easy. The first few months were the worst of my life. But I'm writing this from the other side, and some days now I forget to be sad. Check what benefits you can get. I'd been missing out on loads. Go slowly.”

  • “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.”

  • “Dear stranger, i was where you are this time last year. Back then it was chasing losses. Today I went for a walk and didn't cry once. Things come back, slower than you'd like but they do. From someone who gets it.”

  • “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.”
