    It took many attempts and fail, but I’m on the better path. Not easy, but worth it πŸ˜‰

    I did that (self-exclude) myself in April. It makes a world of difference. I actually have money now for things needed! I don’t miss the casinos AT ALL!!

I see few people responding to posts on here but keep r…[Read more]
