"The first step towards recovery is acknowledging the problem"
WHO ARE WE?
Formed in May 2024, Break The Gamble is a lived experience community dedicated to helping individuals and families impacted by problem gambling.
We appreciate that gambling is not an issue for everyone who places bets and acknowledge that it is a hobby to some and we are respectful of that. However, that is not the case for everyone, and gambling can have severe harm on individuals and their mental health, as well as their families.
We offer a non-judgmental and compassionate community for healing, support and growth. We aim to raise awareness of the harms of problem gambling and safeguard future generations.
We are not interested in how much you have lost, if it has affected your life then we are here to help, there is no number that qualifies you as having a gambling problem. We understand the challenges and complexities of the recovery journey and are here to provide the necessary guidance and support.
