Hi everyone i’ve been gambling since the age of 15. It all started at school when i was with my friends playing penny up the wall,the buzz i got from winning just a few pound was so good and even the losing made me want to play more. i didn’t realise the problems that were ahead i just thought it was all fun,it soon moved on to a higher level when i found myself gambling on computer games,fruit machines in kebab houses and other means of gambling that i could get my hands on. A few years went by i was nearly turning 18 so i thought "let’s see what this betting shop lark is all about" and so i did, and now i sit here today wishing i never went in as my life from that day was never the same. It wasn’t till the age of about 21 or 22 that i realised i had a problem but was still in denial to those around me. My main demon in gambling was betting shop machines. I loved the roullette and the buzz of winning big with little stakes but as we all know as gamblers the little bets always get bigger and so does the losing which led me to do things i am not proud of so i hope that being at gordon moody has changed me back to the person i was all them years ago. The last four months of not gambling has really made me wanna stay off gambling and made me realise there is more to life, much more,i know it’s not going to be easy but if i can stay off gambling i know i will make a lot of people happy including myself.
