Hey.
Look I'm no wowser and don't wanna preach but having been an addict, lucky to have my kids still talk to me.
I'm just chucking it out there....pokies are designed and made man to be addictive. So not like everyone admits it or goes hunting help.
Here were my signs and just have a squiz if you have these cause jump on the problem man before its gets way out of control
* Staying at the club or pub for heaps and chucking notes in.
* Spending heaps more than you thought.....regularly
* Lying to everyone where you're going. Like cause that's a shame thing I reckon.
* Feeling shit that you've done your $$$ on those bastard machines.
* Feeling low maybe depressed.
* Winning say 500 and putting it all back in
* Does int maybe interrupt you work life or family life ?
* Borrowing $$ to gamble then not being able to pay your bills.
These are some of the things I went through and man I'll always be an addict but if you're like me, man you gotta take each day as it comes but with each day the urge gets less and great to drive by the club and think how much they didn't get from me today.
Pokies are called the "crack" of gambling.
I dont wanna ban them, just limit the bet size maybe $2 a spin.
These things cause a heap of pain and misery man in society. They have been a issue with folk in RL as well.
Look at these Taj mahal bloody clubs, I'll bet most built on the pokie $$.
So watch out for yourself and your mates.
I know its a downer but I like to make sure people know how bad these things CAN be to SOME.
Cheers
