Enya, founder of The Urge Reset, taking a cosy mirror selfieA note from Enya ♡

Hi, I'm Enya.

I'm 21, and I've started sharing my experience of gambling addiction and recovery online because I want people to know they're not alone.

For a long time, gambling affected much more than my bank balance. It took up my attention, influenced my decisions and became something I tried to hide, even while I was still going about everyday life.

Why I made this

One of the hardest moments can be when the urge to gamble appears and you don't know what to do with yourself. Someone in my community suggested a wheel of alternatives, and that idea inspired this little space.

This isn't a cure or professional treatment. It's a free place to find one small action to try, take a moment and remember that you have options.

One urge at a time. You don't have to do it alone. ♡

Explore all 24 activities

You can choose an activity directly. You don't have to spin.

Need more than a distraction?

It's okay if an urge doesn't pass quickly. Consider contacting someone you trust and keeping gambling blocks in place. If you are in Great Britain, the National Gambling Helpline can help.
