Your recovery is in your hands
It is important for you to know that the independent, self-motivated cure for your gambling addiction is possible. You may be asking yourself, 'How do I stop Gambling?'. With our help, you can fight your own gambling addictions and learn to live an addiction free life once more.
This Life Process Gambling Program© does not ‘fix you'. It is an aid to help you overcome your gambling addiciton so that you can mature out from addiction more quickly, more surely, and more completely by examining your life from the perspectives presented here and following the self-help guidelines provided.
More than anything, the Life Process Program© makes it clear that you are the primary agent of change. Obviously, this program is not in tune with most addiction theory and therapy, which overwhelmingly favors the twelve-step philosophy. These treatments insist on the premise that the individual is powerless over an addiction. In reviewing the extensive research on gambling and other addiction treatment, however, we actually find that self-efficacy therapies, which focus on the individual's power and self-reliance, succeed the best. If you are searching for alternatives to 12 step approaches such as the Gamblers Anonymous, you have come to the right place.
Success Stories
People who have successfully beat their addiction with the Life Process Program'Gambling was ruining my life. I had lost so much money and my husband was going to leave me. I had never considered quitting before I found Dr. Peele's program online. I was able to work through the program without missing out on my life. It hasn't always been easy, but the LPP really helped me focus on what's important.'
Kathy J, USA
'I attended Gamblers Anonymous for 10 years, and relapsed over 20 times. When I realized that I am not powerless and not diseased, I finally took responsibility for my addiction and was able to stop, without going to those meetings I hated with a passion. I am no longer sentenced to a life of meetings with sociopaths, liars, benefit cheats and criminals. For years I was told that GA was the only thing that worked, even though I had seen first hand that it didn't. Thank you, Dr. Peele!'

'I wasted 25 years of my life in the bookies, arcades and casinos. The first two weeks of my journey on the program was up and down, but with the support of my coach I finally graduated and I haven't looked back.'

Am I addicted to gambling?
There are a number of criteria for what constitutes a gambling problem. The definition of gambling addiction LPP finds useful is: when we create an experience where use of a behavior or substance becomes compulsive, and we continue to pursue it in spite of harm to self or others, then that behavior has become addictive. If gambling is causing harm to you or your family, work, etc., then it falls on the addiction spectrum.
How can gambling be addictive?
'Disordered gambling' is the official term, now under the categories of Substance Use and Other Disorders in the ICD-11. It was previously categorized as a mental disorder having to do with impulse-control or compulsive behaviour. Recognition is growing that, like much addictive behavior, gambling problems are often episodic or temporary—although they may reappear.

In a word, 'Yes.' Any activity that becomes compulsive, comes to dominate your life and that your structure regularly into your time may cause life disruptions should you choose to stop or reduce it. You may feel distracted, agitated, depressed, angry, weepy, ill, any number of things. Physical symptoms start to ease quickly. Mental and emotional upheaval may take some time. This is true of all addictions.

Isn't everything okay as long as I'm not losing money?
That's a good one for you to answer! Is it okay? What's not okay? Sometimes gambling costs us time, attention, interest in things like our families or friends. There is nothing wrong with gambling itself. If it's fun, that's great. But if it's getting in the way of the people and values you consider important, then it may not be serving you and your life well.

BetBlocker was founded by Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) service ThePOGG in 2017. If you see anyone else claiming to have founded BetBlocker, the claims are false. This service manages complaints between players and online gambling operators on behalf of a number of regulatory agencies. BetBlocker was set-up as a way of helping those players that came to the service with a responsible gambling based complaint, specifically because the ADR was uncomfortable channelling those with gambling addiction issues to fee based blocking services.
In 2019, after seeing rapid growth in demand for the BetBlocker tool, it was concluded that it was not financially sustainable to continue to run BetBlocker as an add on to the ADR service. At this point BetBlocker was broken off from the business and established as a charity in its own right. Since this point, BetBlocker has received its funding from donations from an array of businesses in the gambling industry. This move has allowed for significant additional funding to be available to the project, improving both the function of the app itself and the user support available to assist those that need it.
Whilst BetBlocker may now be its own legal entity, the people making the decisions are still the same people that established the service. The Board of Trustees is made up of various team members from the ADR service. There are a number of employees working for BetBlocker now but but no person employed by the ADR service draws any income from BetBlocker. The charity's Governing Documents precludes any of the Trustees serving as an employee of the charity. As such the Board of Trustees who manage the service is made up of individuals giving their time freely to the project.
If you need to contact the Board of Trustees you can reach Duncan Garvie at duncan@betblocker.org. Support requests to this email address will not receive a response.
