Gambling addiction can be a very lonely and frustrating condition to live with. If you have been struggling to control a gambling problem, whatever it may be, you may feel like you have nowhere to turn. You may feel incredibly isolated and are afraid to reach out for help, believing that no-one will understand and that people may judge you. At the same time, you may be confused at your inability to stop gambling, and your loved ones may also not understand and lecture you without knowing the full extent of the issue. You may be frequently met with the question ‘why do you do it?,’ only to find you that you cannot give a meaningful answer, and you cannot justify your gambling behaviours.

Thankfully, help with gambling addiction is at hand here at Talk2bigdan. I offer help locally within Greater Manchester and Lancashire, and further afield remotely all throughout the UK and within Europe. 1–2-1 confidential walks are available locally, and remote zoom calls are always there for people who are further away.

Please get in touch if you are struggling to control your gambling behaviour, or if you have any concerns and think you may need help with gambling addiction. You will not regret making that first step to reach out for help.
