Over the last decade we have seen an enormous increase in the number of people coming to us for help with gambling problems. These are people from all walks of life and many different backgrounds. Men and women of all ages are suffering from the effects of all types of gambling over which they are losing control.
We have put together a list of questions. Answering them will enable our trained specialist advisors to help you decide if you have a problem, how bad that problem is and how we can help you deal with it. Has that harmless occasional flutter that you used to have turned into an everyday event? Has the novelty of gambling online, casino games, bingo or poker for instance now becoming a habit that is taking up more and more of your life. Have those gaming machines, particularly in betting shops, become a bottomless pit into which you are pouring your money?
Do you have a gambling problem? Find outHow to stop gambling
You are concerned enough to be looking at this page and our questions will help you and us to deal with that concern. We know that even the most determined people find it difficult to just stop gambling without some kind of help. How many times have you walked away from the wreckage of a gambling session feeling sick and promising yourself that it would never happen again, but it did. It is sometimes hard for us to admit our weaknesses and these questions will help not only to identify them, but also begin the process of addressing them.
If someone you know has a gambling problem
The questions are designed in such a way that you can answer them on behalf of someone else as best as you can. Much gambling is done in ways or places that others would be unaware of. There are often very little physical signs of the problem, but changes in habits or in attitudes towards friends and family can often be a sign. Our advisors have extensive experience and can build up a picture of the problem with just a little information. We do not need to know the name of the person you are enquiring about and all communication between us is strictly confidential.
