Advice from our accredited addiction counsellors for how to reflect on your gambling use.

These 3 actions can help to manage your gambling if it has become a problem.

~ Identify the triggers that make you think about wanting to gamble
~ Interrupt the conditioned response of rushing to gamble
~ Recognise any changes and increases in the frequency, duration and intensity of your gambling behaviours

Gambling can affect your thinking, and can lead to compulsions to gamble.

The triggers and actions of gambling create a conditioned response related to reward seeking behaviour.

Once these actions have been taken multiple times, you can build a tolerance to the dopamine hit you get. This can lead to a heightening of gambling behaviours required to get the same impact.
