CUT YOUR LOSSES & QUIT GAMBLING
ONLINE INTERACTIVE WORKSHOP FOR MALE GAMBLERS
Are you tired of constantly losing money to gambling and feeling out of control? Have you realised that a lot of the bad in your life can be traced back to your gambling?
Cutting your losses and quitting is the first step towards a better life.
Join me online on Tuesday May 14th at 3.30pm to 4pm. BST. and let me help you find your motivation to stop.
This workshop is for addicted gamblers who are trying to take the first steps to quit gambling but feel lost, unmotivated and/or just don’t know how to get started. It is also suitable for those who have made attempts to stop but keep going back despite knowing it is causing harm.
In this workshop, Annika will use her 20 years of clinical experience in gambling treatment to help you understand how and why you need to stop before it causes further harm to your life.
In this foundational workshop which will be run via ZOOM online, she will cover the following:
Exploration of the different motivations behind gambling, the vicious spirals of thoughts, feelings and behaviours gamblers end up in and how to commit to breaking them
How to take the first steps towards cutting losses - and an outline of what to expect
Explain why action is necessary to maintain motivation
An interactive motivational exercise which will enable you to ask your questions and give more info about your particular situation via the chat room (completely anonymously) and I will be using participant’s responses and comments and expanding on them as we go along. I will also give you guidance on what the best early replacement behaviours might be depending on the different styles of gambling.
What shall I do once I have stopped? Some guidelines and insights into what to expect emotionally when you stop
and much more.
