What sometimes helps me to stay off gambling is to look at my problem like an allergy rather than an addiction. There is no shame about an allergy. People talk freely about them, in fact it is GOOD to tell people that I have a peanut allergy so don’t pass the packet to me. Like gambling, an allergy can threaten your life. Like an allergy it can be managed but not cured. Life is great if you stay away from peanuts / casinos / fruit machines … Live a life without gambling – it is possible and for those of us with this problem necessary. Go well.
