Final session: Start a new page!

Content

Congratulations! You are finally here in the last session! We have witnessed your efforts and determination! Although changes cannot be made in one day, a good start has already put you half way through! As long as you keep up with your spirit, you will believe in yourself more, “I’m possible!”

After you have stepped out your first step of change, do you discover things other than gambling worth your energy and time more? When you gradually change your gambling-centred lifestyle, you will see more room to develop your interests and strengths, rebuild your social network, re-learn self-appreciation and enjoy your life.

At this new beginning, we encourage you to build a balanced and healthy lifestyle, such as regular exercises, continuous learning, hobbies development, participation in support group, learning emotional management and financial management, etc. Reconstructing your life can start with something simple and small, like having a 20-minute walk weekly as a start for regular exercises. This changing process is probably not easy, or even frustrating and upsetting. Yet, with our determination and confidence to carry on, we can surely turn a new page of life. You may refer to worksheet “balanced healthy life” to ponder your specific balanced healthy lifestyle.

The change process is like a roller coaster. Relapse of gambling can be triggered by challenges in daily life. As long as we can stop, plan for a new strategy and pick up the steps again, we are giving ourselves another chance to rebuild a life without gambling. Hence, whenever you feel shaky or tempted, you can choose to restart this self-help kit, or contact us via EC Quick Dial 2827 4321, WhatsApp 6770 5599, or Live Chat. Have your journey of change a company.
