Knowing it's going too far, and carrying on anyway.
Gambling, gaming, shopping, eating, or impulses that you can no longer control. Behaviour that began as an outlet and became a problem.
Expressions we often see
Gambling
Online or in the hall. Reclaim losses, and sink deeper.
Gaming and screens
Nights that disappear, and a life that feels more valuable online than offline.
Compulsive buying
The thrill of ordering, and the shame of the parcels.
Eating behaviour
Comfort eating or control, and the battle that begins afterwards.
Impulse control
Act before you think, and clear up the mess afterwards.

Is gambling or gaming something for you?
Yes, that's exactly what this page is about. If alcohol, drugs or medication are also involved, Private Addiction Care is the right place.
Should I stop completely then?
We don't decide that in advance. First, we'll look at when it happens and what it achieves for you. We'll then agree together on which limit works for you.
Nobody knows. Can it stay that way?
Yes. You decide who you involve. Openness often takes the power out of secrecy, but that happens at your pace and not before.
You don't have to carry it alone.
