Gambling can be very secretive. Someone can place a bet anytime or anywhere. Traditionally a person
would go to a betting shop in the high street or a casino or a racetrack. Today with the use of Mobile
Devices and the Internet it can be very covert. A gambler places a bet – in an instant they win, or they
lose – its not noticed but the person changes character and behaviour. If they win, they might cash in –
only to find they are back online and doing the process all over again – If they lose – they mask the
action. What happens to that lose? They might chase the bet in fear that they can’t pay a bill they need to
– in fear that their partner might discover and ask a question. They take out a pay day loan or consolidate
all loses on to a credit card – often a hidden credit card that no one else knows about. They can’t go out
for a meal or treat their family to dinner – they make excuses – they enter into denial. Once hooked there
is no way out – the behaviour becomes more secretive and the consequences bigger. Consider someone
that earns a good wage – eventually the erosion of the wins and loses devalue that wage – who can go
from winning, say £500 in one bet of 15 seconds, and then return to working for weeks, 5 days a week to
take home their modest net pay? The gambling devalues the principles and morals the person once had.

Like all addictive processes, the only answer to a Gambling Addiction is complete abstinence. There is no
compromise with an addiction!!

This is not just true of people with Gambling problems – all addictions are the same.
Alcohol, Drugs, Gambling, Food, Sex, Pornography, Relationships and Co-dependency are all the same.
For people with an Addictive Personality, we all have the problem. No matter whatever the drug of choice
is.

Get addiction help in Guildford when you’re struggling

Recent surveys have shown that more people have taken up “lockdown drinking” to help deal with the mental strain that COVID-19 has put on them. Whereas some people have already dealt with addiction in the past and are finding it hard to cope, others are finding that their addiction is stemming from lockdown and aren’t sure where to turn.

Whatever part of the scale you fall on, if you’ve found lockdown to be particularly challenging and find yourself reaching for the bottle to get through each day, I am here for you.

Here at Addiction Care I specialise in addiction therapy and cover a range of addictions such as alcohol, drugs, sex, pornography, gaming, gambling and bulimia. I understand that it can be incredibly daunting admitting you have an addiction, but I promise to give you a safe space to explore your addiction and find a positive way to move forward.

You’ll have my commitment, support and understanding every step of the way. On my website I have plenty of information on the varying addictions out there, as well as lots of information on myself and contact details for you to fill out so we can get the ball rolling.

The awful pandemic of Covid-19 has been extremely tough on everyone, not just in the UK but worldwide. I know that anyone who is having to face the difficulties that the last few months have presented along with having an addiction, or being in recovery is extremely challenging for you and your family. Covid-19 is something that is completely out of our control and as such if you are struggling with an addiction then this will also likely be magnified. However, I am here to help you at Addiction Care.

My name is Peter Davies and I own Addiction Care, based in Guildford. Since having recovered from an addiction myself, I can relate on a personal level to what you are experiencing and the challenges in front of you for recovery. I provide one-to-one addiction help and since starting out, I have assisted many people throughout Guildford, Surrey and London to recover from their addictions. Whether your addiction is to alcohol, drugs, sex, work, gaming or something different, there is no judgement. From the moment you come to me, I will help you gain control of your life and not have your addiction control your actions.

For more information or for a confidential chat, please call me on 01483 533 808. I am here to provide addiction help and I look forward to speaking with you soon.
