Hi guys Im Fred from Ireland, originally Hong Kong. Im 19 years ago and I started gambling about a year ago. I have lost an enormous amount of money to a student and worse still, I dont have a job and I have dreams. Dreams that can hardly be accomplished because of gambling. I first started gambling in privately owned bookies when I came to Ireland, to online betting sites and casinos. I bet on pretty much everything, racing, roulette, blackjack, slot machines etc. I lost about 5000 euros about 8 months ago and the only things left in my mind at that time were devastation, guilt, and anger. I swore to myself that I would not ever ever touch this evil addiction again. I could manage to hold my ground up until recent months, I went back to Hong Kong with an Irish friend of mine for holiday. we made a trip to Macao if you have heard, the Las Vegas of the Orient, I was absolutely stunned and amazed by the number and size of casinos there. My friend and I did a bit of gambling for craic and the worst thing was we won, won about 1000 euros. we gladly came back to Ireland after that extraordinary trip to Macao and my determination to stop gambling faded away after the winnings. I started going back to casinos and bookies ever now and then I thought I wud just do it for fun, never get addicted in it again as I learned my lesson. Apparently I didnt, I lost hundreds of euros in the same casino and I still wudnt cope on. Today I went on an online casino and I lost about 900 euros and I eventually came to realisation that I have to STOP. you may wonder how would i have the money to throw into casinos as Im only a 19-year-old student, in fact my poor mom has been working so hard back home, to support me financially to study in Ireland, I never actually told her about my gambling problem. I dont have the courage, to turn around and say to her Im throwing her hard-earned money into some money swallowing machines. As I mentioned, I have dreams, I have been studying Spanish, Business and loads of other stuff, I want to move to Spain to further my education, I wanna graduate from a tip-top university and get into the tourism industry. I have lots of other dreams that I have been driving myself to achieve. Without gambling my life would be near perfect. I tried to stop several times, they all ended up with failure. I feel so grateful and blessed that I have found this website, I hope somebody will help me out here cos Im just a teenager with dreams and ambitions to follow, to reach. I dont wanna see gambling to destroying the rest of my life.
