We need to keep a step ahead, Dave. Eye on the ball!
WE HATE GAMBLING!!!Gambling makes us feel we hate ourselves, Dave.
It plays tricks with our minds, telling us we will love ourselves if we gamble…..Yea right!!! Don’t be fooled!Just to let you know you are in my thoughts and prayers, Paul
Wrap up well.
It’s bitterly cold!I hear you but it will never happen, Paul
The Gambling Industry will tell you what they want you hear but we know the bottom line is THEY ARE IN IT FOR THE MONEY!
I saw a guy being chucked out of a casino by a “heavy” one night a few years ago. He was pleading and begging to be allowed to self exclude saying he had lost every cent of his salary and had two babies at home. The staff were sneering and mocking him, saying “OK, OK we heard it all before, see you on payday”!
That’s only the tip of the iceberg Paul but it showed me the ruthless, sinister scumbags that I was handing over all my salary to (and all I could borrow on the strength of it).
If I ever entered that casino (hellhole) again, I believe I would be equally guilty as the FATCATS who run the Industry.
Don’t bog yourself down with the wider picture Paul, just focus on getting through today and concentrate on never feeding those RATS ever again.Jeg hører dig, men det vil aldrig ske, Paul Gambling Industry vil fortælle dig, hvad de vil have dig til at høre, men vi ved, at bundlinjen er, at de er i det til pengene! Jeg så en fyr blive revet ud af et kasino af en "tung" en nat for et par år siden. Han bad og bad om at få lov til selv at udelukke, at han havde mistet hver en cent af sin løn og havde to babyer derhjemme. Personalet hånede og hånede ham og sagde "OK, OK vi hørte det hele før, vi ses på lønningsdagen"! Det er kun toppen af isbjerget Paul, men det viste mig de hensynsløse, skumle lort, som jeg afleverede al min løn til (og alt hvad jeg kunne låne på grund af det). Hvis jeg nogensinde kom ind på det casino (hellhole) igen, tror jeg, at jeg ville være lige så skyldig som de FATCATS, der driver industrien. Lad dig ikke forkæle med det bredere billede Paul, fokuser bare på at komme igennem i dag og koncentrér dig om aldrig at fodre disse rotter igen.
Eu ouvi você, mas isso nunca vai acontecer, Paul, a indústria de jogos de azar vai lhe dizer o que eles querem que você ouça, mas sabemos que o resultado final é QUE ELES ESTÃO PELO DINHEIRO! Eu vi um cara sendo expulso de um cassino por um "pesado" uma noite alguns anos atrás. Ele estava implorando e implorando para se autoexcluir, dizendo que havia perdido cada centavo de seu salário e tinha dois bebês em casa. A equipe estava zombando e zombando dele, dizendo "OK, OK, nós ouvimos tudo antes, nos vemos no dia do pagamento"! Essa é apenas a ponta do iceberg, Paul, mas me mostrou os canalhas cruéis e sinistros para os quais eu estava entregando todo o meu salário (e tudo o que eu poderia pegar emprestado com a força dele). Se eu alguma vez entrasse naquele cassino (buraco do inferno) novamente, acredito que seria tão culpado quanto os FATCATS que dirigem a indústria. Não se atole com o quadro mais amplo, Paul, concentre-se apenas em passar pelo dia de hoje e em nunca mais alimentar aqueles RATOS novamente.
Putting time between now and the last bet helps to clear our distorted thinking, Dave.
Gambling can only take what we give it. We will NEVER get our money back, but it is possible to rediscover Life, one day at a time.
Never give up!I call gambling, “G A M B L I N G”, Paul!
I believe in calling a spade a spade not just an “agricultural implement”.
Believe me, I have gone through the name of every demon but none I encountered equals the name
“GAMBLING”Paul, to my limited knowledge, the Gambling Industry has itself well covered by displaying Awareness posters in casinos and online to “protect” problem gamblers and they fund some free counselling and Support Sites (GT for one)
In reality the problem exists in the Compulsive Gambler (i.e.-you and me) not in the Industry.Paul, så vidt jeg ved, har spillebranchen dækket sig godt op ved at vise oplysningsplakater på kasinoer og online for at "beskytte" problemspillere, og de finansierer nogle gratis rådgivnings- og supportwebsteder (GT for en) I virkeligheden eksisterer problemet i Compulsive Gambler (dvs. du og mig) ikke i branchen.
Paul, até onde sei, a indústria de jogos de azar tem sido bem coberta exibindo pôsteres de Conscientização em cassinos e online para "proteger" jogadores problemáticos e eles financiam alguns sites de aconselhamento e suporte gratuitos (GT para um). Na realidade, o problema existe no Compulsivo O jogador (ou seja, você e eu) não está na indústria.
…is the selfish question you have to ask, Jenny and you know the answer already.
He has played you like a fiddle in the past. Now he is manipulating his parents, the children and even the dog.
WAKE UP, Jenny.
Time for you to kiss this “baby boy” goodbye, at least until he grows up
You don’t need to be pulled into his illegal quangos. You are enabling him, even by listening to his ROT. You have a lot to lose. He has nothing to lose. He doesn’t seem to care about asking you to collude with his illegal activities. He might involve you as an accomplice, especially if he has access to your IT equipment. If he has cheated his boss etc , how do you know you won’t be implicated? From what you say, I would suggest taking out a baring order on this lad. You are taking a risk having him in your home. He could use your address for purposes you are unaware of. He sounds quite dangerous to me. He has crossed the line too often. Look carefully at the signals he is picking up from you Jenny. CGs don’t miss a trick.
Good to hear from you. I was thinking of you during the week.Don’t ever lose hope, Paul. You are not alone.
Hello Monkey,
I’m very sorry to hear of the loss of your mother. Many people begin gambling following a bereavement and it escalates until we look at the monetary loss and realize our gambling is out of control.
Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem and as you say, an awful legacy for a child to handle.
Well done on speaking to your father. You need to be very careful when and if the bank give you that loan to consolidate your debt. I have had a few of those loans and I am very ashamed to say they all ended up in slot machines so my suggestion to you would be to get your dad’s name on a joint account that needs two signatures for withdrawals.
WELCOME TO GT.I wrote a little poem for you in the Poetry Section, Kin. Have a look.
