    • If there’s any consolation you are not starting from ground zero, the experience you’ve accumulated from quitting would serve as useful guidance when you try to quit this time. Remind yourself of the frustration you feel now the next time you really want to gamble. And reinforce it each time you have an urge. Through practicing you’d establish a new behavior pattern that would hopefully replace the old one.

      I am a psychotherapist who has had experience working with patients with gambling disorder in the hospital. I am trying to create a product where people can access the same kind of treatment they would get in a therapy room by adapting therapeutic material into a mobile app so that those struggling with gambling addiction who are therapy-hesitant or therapy-deprived can get effective, quality help. If that sounds like something you would want to exist, please check out our landing page to know more about the app and sign up to tell us your thoughts and suggestions. Thank you for taking the time to read this, please know that your show of interest is pivotal to the development of this product.
