Hi D
Do you have a problem with gambling? <!-- s:oops: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_redface.gif" alt=":oops:" title="Embarrassed" /><!-- s:oops: -->
Yes you do! <!-- s:oops: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_redface.gif" alt=":oops:" title="Embarrassed" /><!-- s:oops: -->
You don't owe any money YET! If you keep on the same path though......
You worry about the money you have lost. FORGET about it! It is LOST!
If you try to win it back...you will undoubtably lose more.
Then you might increase your bets... lose even bigger amounts.... and THEN you WILL be in debt!!!
You are on a tightrope at the moment. Have you read the stories on this, and other forums?
They are no exaggeration. I know people who have served gaol time due to their gambling, people who have attempted suicide...me included.
Make a promise to yourself... Attend a minimum of 4 GA meetings. You can find the meeting location on this site. Then you will truly see and understand what this addictuion can do to REAL people...that person could be you next.
Your a young person, with a hopefully good life to look forward to.
Don't throw your opportunity away. Be happy. Don't gamble.
Best wishes
Roy
