Default Goodbye and GOODLUCK

This will hopefully be my final post.
I have been forced to admit to myself that I cant control my gambling.
When im wagering I can become obsessed by it and it consumes all my thinking. Its an obsession and an unhealthy one. I can become a complete prick and I dont like who I have become.
It's cost me 2 relationships and It's time for me to move on to the next chapter of my life.
I have enjoyed this forum immensely though and it will be hard to give it up because I like it, but, I have to.
Id like to thank all contributors but most particulary Moeee, Rabbitz and Sportz who've always been willing to have a chat and challenge my ideas about footy.
To all the SMARTGAMBLERs out there who are able to control there wagering and do so successfully I absolutely admire you because it's one of the hardest things to do and takes hardwork and dedication.
So basically goodbye and goodluck for the future to all. Cheers Matt

P.s If the moderators could please take me out of the system that would be much appreciated. Thanks

Regarding Mugsy's gambling situation.
I suggest it is no good running away from it.
It will find you eventually.
It found me many times.
What needs to be done is manage the situation.
I also am out of control,but then again so is my whole life.

Good luck brother. - Mo.

Everyone is different .Hope it all goes well for you champ ........As piddling as it seems I found betting in 1 and 2 dollar bets satisfying enough I treated it as entertainment so if I didnt win I didnt care and it wasnt an obbsession but I repeat myself everyone is different ........If its making your life a misery deal with it ,which you obviously are .......Rotsa Ruck
