Dear Vicky
I am in a similar position as yourself. I am just so addicted to the machines and I have trouble staying away.
I want to do the same for myself I know it will be the best thing i can do for myself.
Sadly Vicki, I know I am not ready to give it up although there is nothing to gain in me continuing this habit. I cant help it. It’s a terrible disease.
I genuinely hope that you be strong because continuing gambling has brought me nothing but misery. I don’t even know why I am doing this to myself. It’s irrational.
What I want to say is I admire your determination and encourage you to be strong. Don’t be like me. Everyday I feel so down and depressed, and angry that I have so little control over this.
Even if I do win the euphoria is short lived and after the high comes the low. Every time. The script is the same. I am sick of it and I would never wish for anyone to go through and put up with my agony.
All the best Vicki. I know you can do it. One day at a time. And hopefully I will follow in your steps xx

Dear David
Thanks for sharing your story. You just have to consider that whatever you have lost to be spilled milk. You can’t have it back. The money that you lost now belongs to the casino.
I had the same problem for several years and all I could think of was heading to the casino to get my fix. Predictably I lost all my savings and maxed out credit cards and took out high interest personal loans of which I am still servicing.
My sister paid out my debts but I kept incurring them again. Eventually I knew there was no other option but to ban myself from the casino. It is the best thing I have done and I urge you to consider doing the same.
It’s never too late to stop and start rebuilding. The fact is no one wins. When we do we give it all back and more. That seems to be everyone’s story.
I am still struggling myself but I hope you find the strength to do what is right.
Take care
Chloe
