Hi I’m a new member just like to introduce myself. I’ve been gambling for around 20 years mostly fruit machines in the beginning now it’s getting worse with playing roulette machines. I feel I,m in a really dark place I really want to stop but I feel powerless. The urge to gamble is overwhelming and consumes my life.
