Free online support for anyone affected by gambling.

This website has been incredibly helpful for me… you've come to a good place.

I wanted to put an end to my online gambling habit. I felt more comfortable chatting to someone online, rather than on the phone.

I've found this service to be really helpful.

Quicker, easier, immediate, felt comfortable. Convenient as I have a computer.

Our Gambling Help Online Forum: Be inspired and motivated by other people’s stories.

It is easier as the days go by, and the kind words and support on this forum has been invaluable.

Thank you all for the support. I woke up this morning with a little bit of the weight off my chest now knowing I have people I can talk to about it. Felt a great relief being able to put it into words and stop lying to myself about it.

Thanks to this community, I don’t feel alone anymore. I thought I was, thank you to whoever set this up. I read so many stories… here. I’ll keep updating this thread about my journey to this gambling detox and rehab.

Today is the start of my challenge. It will be hard but I've seen so many peoples stories and triumphs on here today that it fills me with so much hope and belief in myself and everybody else.
