TAKING THE STEPS TOWARDS RECOVERY

Throughout this site, there are pages full of help, support and advice for
problem and compulsive gambling and recovery from it. To perhaps better
understand the impact gambling has/had on individuals that have been caught
up in it, and families and friends that have been affected by it all - so a
positive outcome can possibly be found in the process of such recovery. There
are also pages filled with inspirations and motivations, news, research and
psychology in the field of gambling addiction, and pages to just simply fill in
time when
needed - which is all available on the internet, as well as assistance that may
be available near where anyone lives. There are many links for finding help
within reach that could lead to a possible solution for recovery from this
addiction.
Recovery is a determined choice - and it can work.

While every person is different - everyone's gambling problem will be at a
different level. Financial situation and/or difficulties will be diverse, stress
levels, family circumstances, self-esteem and confidence levels, degree of
shame/guilt, employment situation and determination to stop will be all
different - so each recovery requires an individual approach by the person
wanting to recover from a gambling problem. What is important though, is that
gambling does not run a person's life any longer. There are many ways to start
recovery and continue with it to eventually find a way to a better life. From
Gamblers Anonymous and Gam-Anon meetings to group therapy meetings, one
on one and family counselling, outpatient and inpatient treatment programs,
self-help books, internet support groups and research facilities, etc. - there
is
a great deal of help available in many places around the world. However, even
with all that help which is available, there is no guarantee, unless the
individual makes the move and makes it happen. Support can be found even in the
most difficult of situations - once those first steps are made and a person
reaches
out for it. There is some kind of answer to everything if one looks for it.


PROBLEM GAMBLING WARNING SIGNS

IF THERE IS SUSPICION OF A GAMBLING PROBLEM IN SOMEONE, THERE ARE
SOME SIGNS THAT WILL USUALLY STAND OUT AND MAY BE OBSERVED:

***Wanting to gamble more and more, especially after losses. ***Having a need to
go gambling to escape from stress, feeling depressed or facing problems.
***Finding it hard to stop, even when promising not to gamble again - winning or
losing. ***Being restless, edgy or argumentative when trying to cut down on
gambling or
give it up altogether. ***Trying to use alternatives, such as alcohol to
escape the feelings of irritability, restlessness or fear. ***Hiding facts from
family and friends about the amounts of money lost by gambling.




***Unnecessarily losing patience with family members, friends or work collegues.
***Borrowing money (or
even "temporarily" stealing) to feed
the gambling habit. ***Taking time of work or school to go gambling, to try and
catch up with losses or win
more. ***Everything that is usually a leisure or responisibility at home or
work, becomes an unwanted chore. ***Putting many relationships into jeopardy or
even eventually losing some of them. ***Making excuses for time lost, for being
at different
places or not being contactable. ***Thinking that when winning, it will just
continue that way. ***Planning
for gambling, lying and deceiving, hiding bills, getting a secret mail box.
