I can understand your difficulty with this. So many times over the last two years I haven't had the money I needed because I had gambled it away. The level of pressure on me has been so high but that only leads to one thing. More gambling. I'm having to make the break too. It's tough.
Hello mate I’m in the same boat. I’m 21 and I cannot stop myself. I need the helpÂ
