Before I came to Williamsville Wellness I was in despair.
I couldn’t find a way to quit gambling and I kept going downhill.
I was always trying to recoup losses. It never happened for me because I would just go right back.
My family and friends didn’t want anything to do with me and I was miserable.
I felt like I had no way out and was hopeless.
Now, after the help of the program at Williamsville Wellness I have started into a new life.
With the tools I learned, my self esteem returned and my life isn’t in shambles anymore. It took some work. Without the help and people at Williamsville I couldn’t have done it on my own.
Thank you

Hi! I'm Vern. I'm a compulsive gambler. That was difficult to admit when I attended my first GA meeting. But it was even more difficult after I had relapsed.
I had stopped gambling for more than three years when I succumbed to the compulsion of gambling again. It was at this time that I knew I needed more than a weekly GA meeting to get me on the road of recovery. I searched the web for places that concentrated on compulsive gambling and found Williamsville Wellness Center. I made contact and Bob called me. With his encouragement to come, I applied and have never been sorry. Apprehensive at first, I was welcomed by other compulsive gamblers at that time and through the four weeks, by the staff. The staff Bob has put together is incredible – "top shelf" all the way. They challenged me, listened to me, guided me, and encouraged me to see the true inner self and the possibilities that had been hidden by my own behavioral patterns and the compulsive gambling. Today, I am on my road of recovery, thanks to the staff at Williamsville Wellness. I read and study the Twelve Steps, attend GA meetings, and diligently work on my recovery. I was blessed to have a spouse and family that were supportive of this process and continue to do so. What Williamsville Wellness offered to me was worth the time, the effort, the financial obligation, and the work to get me back on track and be the person that is not cured, but a recovering compulsive gambler.

When I was out there gambling I had lost everything. For 15 years I had been struggling, and just didn’t want this life anymore. I finally called for help and the people and Williamsville Wellness told me my life could change. Well it has and I’m grateful that I found a way out.
Thank you

When my husband introduced me to Williamsville Wellness I was scared. I didn’t understand how they were going to be able to help me. I didn’t think I was addicted to gambling.
I felt I had managed well for my family. It was when my husband found out I had ran our two major credit cards up to the max trying to cover my bets that he told me I should get some help.
The people at Williamsville understood me and showed me how I could be free of my compulsive gambling. It took me admitting it first that was hard.
After my counseling started I realized that I had a big problem and it was very clear.
Today, I have so much support.
Thank you very much Williamsville Wellness
