Hi Jock
I am from Australia, and all the pubs/clubs here have little cards in all the toilets re problem gambling. The legend on these cards is " Don't wait til you reach Rock Bottom "
Unfortunately, many of us have to reach that " Rock bottom " before we really want to stop. I am 52 years of age, have been working since I was 15.... what have I got to show for it ? NOTHING !
I am curently paying off 6 credit cards ( Yes SIX ) plus the house is now mortgaged to the tune of hundreds of thousands. Add to this the wages I have poured into gambling & you can see where this addiction can lead you. Don't be another me. You can be better than me. All you have to be is gamble free. I hope this story helps you decide which path you would like to take in your life.
best wishes
Roy
