Gambling Compulsion Recovery Near Me

Gambling compulsion recovery tips Philly, Richmond, Ocean City, Santa Fe

• Acknowledge to yourself that you have a problem.
• Tell someone that you have a problem. Ideally this would be a friend or family member. If you believe that no one would understand or be able to help you, tell a trained therapist. Telling someone else not only breaks the isolation, but it increases the degree to which you are accountable to someone else.
• Avoid places where you are likely to gamble. If your issue is the Internet, stop using the Internet. If you have a problem with casinos, do not go, or go near a casino.
• Nurture your soul. Become involved in activities that will make you feel better. For example, cook wholesome meals and then eat them in moderation. Take a stroll or go jogging until you feel tired, but not past the point of exhaustion.
• Continue asking for help from others. Recovery is easier when you have a strong support network.
• Take one day at a time.
• Ask a family member to be in control of all of your assets. And if you are not comfortable with that, then give a family member the security passes to observe your handling of money. Sometimes ending the secrecy – by making yourself accountable to someone, helps you made better choices for yourself.
• Destroy all of your credit cards.
• Remember, while you suffer from an addiction, every day you have a choice as to what you will do with it.
• Make an appointment with a therapist trained in treating gambling compulsions. Not all therapists are qualified in this area of specialization.
• Attend a gambling actions meeting. Developing a support network can be a vital part of your recovery process. You do not have to do this alone.
• Lastly, set realistic expectations. Change takes time. You did not become a gambling addict overnight, nor will you likely become cured overnight.
