I know that there will be a lot of people who are in despair this Christmas due to gambling, and I dont think it appropriate to wish you all a Merry Christmas.

I do know, however, that NOBODY NEEDS TO GAMBLE.

Many here know my story, for those who dont and are struggling, and consider themselves lost to this addiction. Please believe me when I say you can change. I have let gambling take me to some dire abysmal places, physically and emotionally, I have spent more than one Christmas behind bars many more estranged from my family.

Things can and do get better.

All the things you hear and read on this forum and other support forums do have substance, it is only one day at a time, you do need to accept your situation. You may well need help with your money. You cant do it alone, and you must talk to people.

I personally have had a stressful December, funnily enough Christmas not really much to do with the stress.

I am fortunate enough to have come to my senses and havnt gambled for quite a while now. I have been able to buy nice gifts and do nice things for people, a few years ago I wouldn’t have thought it possible.

Whatever situation you are in this Christmas time please be aware that life can be good if you let it.

All the best everyone.

Geordie.
