Reborn again

Hi guys,

Long time lurker here, somehow I've managed to make this account some years back but have always shied away and been a serial lurker.

Enough is enough, here's a little bit about me. I'm from Sydney, Australia where slot machines (pokies) are almost around every corner. I'm 23 y/o and has been a compulsive gambler for the past 5 years. My story is almost the same as every other degenerate gambler so there's no need to go into detail. However, my main devil is 'roulette' and every now and then I'd hit the pokies and lost $500-$1000 per session. As of today I'm in the vicinity of about $15k in debt. I've decided to come here to make a vow to stop gambling entirely and will come back to post my progress. So far, Day 1.

Here's a few insightful aids to assist you guys on your journey, if you have an hour to spare please watch this Australian based documentary on gambling and the 'pokies' link below:

Many a times roulette got me in the past, would blow a weeks wages within an hour on roulette the odd time I played it when I gambled.
Its crazy how little money and anything else in the world means to us addicted gamblers when we are in the middle of a gambling session. We really tink of noting else.
