Looking forward to seeing your gambling low ebbs chop as I sure we will all relate in some way to the behaviors that a true gambling addict displays.
Looking back I wasted a good 8 years of my life between 18-26 playing a piece of metal with 3 or 4 reels turning round and round, when most of my mates were out, drinking, clubbing and meeting women, while I was chasing a bloody cashpot in a working mens club - sad.
I think it was the deceit I was ashamed of more than anything, i remember even collecting everything i had of value one day, fishing reels, rings, cameras, games and cashing it in at cash converters to get a paltry £40 to go play the machines.
Gambling addiction is tough
