Two modes, one person
Recovery means strengthening the second.
Gambling Mode
Recovery Mode
A bet
Placing a bet feels available, reasonable and close.
The bet is one option among several, and not the obvious one.
The thought
I'll just put a little bit in.
I know exactly where a little bit goes.
Money
A stake, and a way of getting back what was lost.
Something being rebuilt, slowly, by other means.
Who you are
Someone who can handle it, and is owed a result.
Someone becoming a person gambling does not fit.
Four processes
Containment
Slow the gambling down and get some stability back.
Understanding
Work out what gambling became, and what keeps pulling you back.
Transformation
Turn what you understand into what you actually do.
Development
Build a life where gambling matters less.

Ten areas
Pick one.

Area 1 of 10
Personal Recovery
Your own gambling story. What happened, what you've tried, and what recovery means to you.
Built from five years inside a gambling clinic, and from what people who gamble taught me.
Go through it with me.
Thirty minutes with me. I'll tell you honestly whether I can help.
