thankyou pyshic snail and haz, i really appeciate the relpies.I’m 37 and have woked all my life have gambled away 500k in my time but always managed to keep an ok standard of living, god knows how. last month I won 17k which could easily have more than changed my life around … I gambled it away. to me it isnt the money I’m looking for something I have lost I think or feel I have lost family wise, life changes as you said , true. and it takes time to adjust to that. I’m 37 and have gambled properly since 7 yrs old. I studied psychology and have friends who work in menatl health as well as I have personal experience of family members with issues so I kno what ur saying pshich snail. when I was young I was a good saver . I have always managed to find lots of money my family are good savers but dont find money like I do, but I I know this “game” and know its time to quit.
