I have recently lost my job because of my stupidity of stealing from the workplace. The underlying problem with this is that I am addicted to gambling and cannot really control the temptation of going into a bookies and gambling away money on the machines.

Hi your not alone my problem is o line gambling makes me so angry when these cheesy adverts come on with slots showing winning lines i play them alot and never had a good win like they show on tv, my problem is i cant let what i have lost go and want it back but it wont ever come back unless i bet silly amounts these companys say it a game of luck more like a game to con you, i think these adverts should be banned. Read this forum alot of helpfull people its working for me these conning companys will not bring me down like they did couple of weeks ago i was ready to end it all. Im only day 5 you can do it fight them urges i know its hard but you can do it keep strong
