Hi Steev
Thank you for sharing your story.
I feel gutted for that child missing out the meal.
I think there could be a genetic element to gambling addiction- it has run through generations of my family.
It is so true that when we are in action all the pain and disappointments of life disappear for a while. When money run out we find we have just added to our pain and disappointment.
I like the idea that we can have our childhood at any time – if we think like this we don’t have to look back and have regrets.
