Hold On - Gambling Support

• A quiet place to pause when gambling urges hit.

Not a lecture. Not someone telling you to "just stop." Something that stays — calmly, without judgment — until the wave passes.

That's HOLD ON.

• Emergency Session

Press one button.

① 30 seconds of stillness Touch and hold the screen. Breathe.

② Fill the next 10 minutes Gentle guidance shifts your focus — to breathing, movement, or a safer activity.

③ A short check-in Quiet reflection. No pressure, no scoring.

No points. No badges. No streak counters. Recovery isn't a game.

• For the morning after a difficult day

When things don't go as hoped, HOLD ON matters most.

No shame screen. No "you broke your streak." No reset to zero.

Four quiet steps:

① Steady yourself with slow breaths. ② Look around — notice what's here. ③ Revisit what happened, without blame. ④ Name the pattern if a trigger returns.

Not a punishment. A way home.

• Anonymous community

Share anonymously or with a nickname.

• Anonymous posts → anonymous comments • Nickname posts → nickname comments

No followers. No popularity contests. Honest words from people who understand.

• Supporter connection

Connect someone who cares — a friend, partner, or family.

They can't control or monitor you. They see only your nickname, connection date, and basic participation. Urges, emotions, and check-ins stay private.

Private chat when you want it.

• 4-week Care program

A short onboarding Q&A creates your 4-week (28-day) plan.

Each day:

• A 1-minute check-in
• Suggestions tuned to how you're doing
• A quiet nudge when things feel heavy

Weekly and monthly reflections help you notice patterns.

• Privacy first

Many hesitate to seek help, worried about leaving a record. HOLD ON gives you control over what you share and how you appear.

• Important note

HOLD ON is a self-help tool for gambling urges. Not a substitute for professional psychological treatment.

In crisis, please seek a qualified professional or local emergency services.
