Hi im geoff and i am a compulsive gambler, I would like to say i find it hard work when not busy but the gambling took away a job i did for 11 years. suppose i was very lucky because it nearly cost me so much more, my own life(question 20 out of orange book) my familly , home , sanity , freinds etc. now i do some collage , ga phonelines , watch lots of football and do what i can to stop the thoughts and depression i get (anti depressants and sleeping tablets).the point is im coping well for a weekend(depression wise) and feeling ok which is enough for me so there is light, its hard but no pain no gain (orange book) . my name is geoff and iam a compulsive gambler and my last bet was jan 12 2009 just for today i wont gamble. <!-- sBig Grin --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_biggrin.gif" alt="Big Grin" title="Very Happy" /><!-- sBig Grin -->
