Time Management for Recovery
Gambling eats time in two ways: the hours spent betting and the hours spent thinking about betting. When you stop, you're left with a massive void, unstructured time that feels empty, boring, and dangerous. This course teaches you to restructure your days so there's no room for gambling to slip back in. You'll build routines, fill the gaps with meaningful activities, and learn to manage the boredom, restlessness, and unstructured downtime that are among the most potent relapse triggers.
