Start by noticing the strength of the craving and the situation around it: money arriving, boredom, stress, a loss, or an advert. Naming the moment is information, not a verdict about you.
After a short pause, rate the craving again. The comparison helps you choose whether to repeat the pause, add access barriers, contact support or step away from the situation.
A simple craving response
- Name the trigger and rate the craving from 0–10.
- Delay all deposits, bets and withdrawals for one 15-minute block.
- Use guided audio or another activity that keeps your hands and attention occupied.
- Remove easy access to money or gambling accounts for the rest of the day.
- Reassess and involve another person or professional resource if the pressure remains hard to manage.
Track what actually happened
Freedom Resonance records your own before-and-after ratings and the pauses you took. Over time, those records may help you notice recurring situations without claiming a medical result.

Are cravings a sign that I have failed?
No. A craving is a moment to respond to. Recording it can help you choose a safer next action without turning the moment into a label.
Can I use the app after a relapse?
Yes. You can record a difficult moment and begin a new pause without resetting or hiding your earlier progress.
