I’ve been putting this off, ‘cos I think ‘oh it’ll be OK.
But its not…and then today I get stuck at the supermarket with nothing in the account again.
It’s not fair on any of us.

Talking to a gambler about their problem isn’t easy. So talk to us, before you talk to them.

Yes I have been on that path.......I hated getting told off as I slipped up badly and gambled out of control to the point of having nothing to punt on let alone get home! I felt bad enough already losing the money, Let alone taking money and bankrupting my own account, let alone pinching money from my folks.
Oh yes the quarrels that erupted and scolding was no fun at all.....So I had to get help for good of myself and family's sanity. I have even went to the path where I lost everything almost. But with a help of gambling counselor I got myself out the deep hole of becoming gambling addict.
Thanks for the positive feedback! A few people have asked us this question. The actress's name is Lauren Clair. She was also in the Underbelly series. Visiting a site like the Internet Movie Database is a good way to find out about which shows and movies actors and actresses are in.
I just love this actress! I've seen her do so many different things and I have to say, she can do anything. Where can I see more of her???
