    good on you for admitting you have an issue with gambling and talking about it mate :good you can get past it
    are you gambling on the pokies or on the track? what sort of money do you gamble in a week?

    mate i would really check out some alternative methods before i went to GA. My uncle was a compulsive gambler (alot of which passed on to me somehow) and he stopped by going to hypnotherapy. Its a very underrated tool and i can recommend you a good one if you would like :D

    im in - tigers all the way :happy:happy:happy
    cant wait until the new season, benji + matt head = crazy ****

    dude it sounds as if you do need help... punting that sort of money and getting angry when you lose is pretty tell tale of gambling addiction. A good step would be to see if you can go a week without gambling and then realise how much money you have saved.

    ill say one thing about the tigers if matt head gets fit and strong use will be top 4 definately, heady was a standout but injuries crippled him, and from what ive heard from league sources i know that hes still too injured and hardly gets on the paddock, my favourite memory was his chip chase and regather at sfs then the ball that hit coops straight on the chest basically in one motion to score, then his kick at goal to win the game... there was 20 of us there younger older mixedd crowd we were going nuts..... it was the time saints were 1 win 5 losses at the start of the year.... thats basically every year actaully lol but 2005 to be exact...
    who do people see as the major threat in league??
    mate on the gambling side i was laughing last nite when i lost it, laughign at stupidity and i just found something funny, joked it off with a mate, came home and thought to myself this aint good and yeah thats y i posted, just to show people it does alot of damage, so beware that there is consequences, my new year resolution was to stop gambling all together, but on the 21st of january i gave it up lol for some boxing fight i was too tempted, i bet on roy jones by knockout didnt come in but oh well....
    for me i wont completely stop but maximum sspending money to satisfy my cravings will be 100 dollars a week.... i like to save it up to 400 then have a good splash on pokies or horses.... you know the secret to not gambling is never having any money....

    A mate of mine had the same sort of pattern as you do now.

    He stepped it up a gear and through lying and conning friends ended up close to $160 000 in the red.

    He lost his relationship. Trust of friends and his health. His hair fell out in clumps!

    My advice is cut it out cold. And think every day you go forward is money in the bank.

    Pokies are a curse.

    Why give the Packers, CUB, Woolies and Coles more of your money than they already get.
