Stories of recovery
Almost half of Australians who gamble are at risk of gambling harm (AIHW). Australia has the largest gambling loss of any country in the world – Australians lose $25 million on gambling per year.
With so many of us gambling, and with such a high risk of gambling harm, it’s not unheard of to develop a “gambling problem” or “gambling addiction.” When gambling harm happens, you may want to quit gambling or learn strategies for safer gambling.
Here are some real-life success stories from folks from around Queensland who have experienced a “gambling problem” or “gambling addiction.” They share how they quit gambling or learned to gamble safer.
