Hi everyone, nice to meet you all. I am at the end of a strange and dysfunctional journey, a gambling addiction, a double life in itself, a soul destroying habit. I am treating this day as an opportunity I must take to get back order in my financial and relationship affairs. I am looking forward to doing simple things without this addiction hanging over me, like doing up my home, having a day at the seaside, sorting out my garden and that sort of thing. I might sound sad but I am past caring as there is nothing more sad than piling money into a machine in the hope of a bonus and not stopping until there is not one penny left. Things must change, or I am afraid it will be the end of me. I am going to get counselling and attend gamblers anonymous, there is no other way now. I hope we can help each other and spur each other on to quit these gambling habits.
