How it works
Most attempts to stop fail for the same few reasons. The 14 days deal with them one at a time, in the order that works.
Put real barriers between you and a bet, so you're not relying on willpower when it's low.
Gambling problems grow in secret. You'll build support around you and get through the flat days that come after you stop.
Tools for the moment an urge hits, and for building a life with less room for gambling.
Where you'll be
The course can't stop you gambling. You do that. What it gives you is the barriers, the order to do things in, and a plan for the moments that used to beat you.
What each day looks like
Each day builds on the last, so take them in order. Day 1 opens straight after you sign up.
One short, honest lesson from someone who's been where you are. No lectures, no judgement.
Every lesson ends with a practical task and a few questions to think about. This is where the change happens.
"It was never about the money. It was about what I didn't want to feel."
Who's writing this
I gambled on sports and horses for eight years. Saturday afternoons were where I did the most damage, and the losses flowed into the rest of my week: my moods, my money, how I treated the people I cared about. At my lowest I was down to my last $7.
I hit rock bottom when I was about to be found out. Instead of covering it up again, I told my family everything. That was the turning point, and the start of building a life that didn't need gambling to feel good.
This course is what worked for me, in the order I wish I'd done it: the barriers, the honesty, and the tools for the hard days. I'm not a counsellor. I'm someone who's been where you are, and who reads every reply.
From students of an earlier version of this course
"After trying to quit more times than I can count, this finally helped me shake the addiction and I've never looked back."
Shaun, 29
"I was in a terrible habit of going through the same cycle with gambling. I took a leap and, as cliché as it sounds, it's changed my life."
Matt, 24
"I kept failing. I was ruining my relationships with my friends and family. I'm glad I joined this program because I've finally given up gambling."
Tony, 35
"Gambling is a terrible addiction. I'm glad I had this support because I don't think I could have quit alone."

No. It's an education course based on lived experience. It works well alongside counselling, Gamblers Anonymous or your doctor, but it doesn't replace them. If you're in crisis, please use the free helplines below.
Willpower comes and goes. Most attempts fail because the doors are still open and nobody else knows. The course starts by putting barriers in place, so you're not relying on willpower when it's low.
Free help is good, and you should use it: helplines, Gamblers Anonymous, counselling. What this course adds is a set order to do things in, one practical task a day so you know exactly what to do today, and someone who's been there to reply to.
You go straight to Day 1, so you can start in the next ten minutes. Days 2 to 14 arrive by email, one each morning. The emails are yours to keep.
About 10 minutes a day: a five-minute read and a short task. Some days ask more of you emotionally than others.
Keep going. A slip isn't the end of the work; it's information about where you need stronger barriers. The course shows you how to plan for exactly those moments.

Free guide
Stopping gambling isn't about willpower. It comes down to a few practical moves: make gambling hard to reach, put barriers around your money, tell one person the truth, plan for the times you're most likely to bet, and have something to do when an urge hits. Start with the first step today.
Self-exclude from gambling sites: GAMSTOP in the UK, BetStop in Australia, or your state's self-exclusion programme in the US. Install a blocker such as Gamban or BetBlocker on your phone and computer. Delete every betting app and close your accounts. Each barrier buys you time between the urge and the bet.
Turn on your bank's gambling block if it has one; many banks do. Pay bills automatically on payday so the money's gone before it can be bet, and carry less cash. If it helps, ask someone you trust to look over your statements.
Secrecy is what keeps a gambling problem going. Telling one person (a partner, a friend, a family member) takes away the double life and gives you someone to call when it's hard. For me, this was the turning point.
Most people bet at predictable times: payday, Saturday afternoon, late at night, after an argument, when a big game is on. Write yours down and plan something specific for each one before it arrives.
An urge feels like it will last forever, but it usually builds, peaks and fades within about half an hour if you don't feed it. Leave the room, go for a walk, call someone, or breathe slowly until it passes. Every urge you outlast makes the next one weaker.
Gambling fills time and changes how you feel. Without something to replace it, the pull comes back. Exercise, people and new goals all help fill that space.
