Mindfulness & Meditation: Foundation
Gambling is an escape from uncomfortable feelings. Mindfulness trains you to notice urges, sit with discomfort, and choose your response rather than reacting on autopilot. This course builds a daily meditation practice from scratch (starting at just 5 minutes) using proven techniques from Mindfulness-Based Relapse Prevention (MBRP). No spiritual requirements. Just practical brain training.

- Use urge surfing to ride cravings without acting on them
