I have a problem with pokies.I stay away from them for awhile then invariably I go and waste money that I can't afford to waste.I'm on a pension and have a little boy that means the world to me and I'm tired of this feeling of hatred towards myself.I've even thought of threatening the staff at a local venue,just to get banned.I want to be banned from EVERY venue in the country but it would make a HUGE difference if I could get banned from my local venue in a small town,with no other venue within 60 or so kilometres.
Hi, I am a single mum with a gambling problem. I also work in a gaming venue. I don't want to gamble all the time, it only seems to be when I am on my own. I usually can't find friends to visit when I get the urge because of my work hours, they are all at work when I'm not. I have seen 3 different counsellors but nothing seems to help. .... I want a better life for my daughter, one where I don't always have to say "Sorry I don't enough money"....
Hello, I am a gambler in Melbourne.
I lost around 1500 dollars at online gambles, which is my money for the coming two months room renting fees and food fees.
I am an international student, I can't work much to earn 1500 dollars to live in two months.
I need help, what I done is to reduce my money pressure, but finally it turns to the bad side.
i had problem for few years now. i love playing pokies. got help few times, had counseling and even self exluded myself but i continue to gamble. i have 3 beautiful and understanding children and i love them very much but the gambling has taken over my life. i think im mentaly ill and dont wont to couse my kids any more pain. they love me too much and they need me but not like that. i want them to be happy and have normal life but i fail all the time. there is no help for me because im to emberest to ask as i fail each time. i hope God can help my kids.
i think i am addicted to pokkies, i just can't stop playing them and i am getting myself into a awful state. I know i shouldnt be playing them but once i start it just goes from bad to worse. i seem to want to be playing them all the time. I want to stop now before it gets serious
Please help
