North Melbourne FC Coach Rhyce Shaw talks footy and gambling.
Cash in your hands if you are a gambling addict (mainly if your trigger is bookies, land-based casinos and arcades, playing physical machines) and being able to have the ability to get hold of cash is the worst possible thing for your addiction.

Before you quit, make a list of reasons why you want to quit and have it to hand at all times. Once you’ve stopped, take note every time you feel a benefit, such as feeling fitter or smelling better, and add it to your list. Soon you’ll have too many reasons not to go back to your old smoking self.

Tracey Crouch said tonight she was quitting with 'great sadness' but warned the Prime Minister two addicted gamblers kill themselves every day making the delay 'unjustifiable'.

A positive attitude when facing the problem is really beneficial for helping a compulsive gambler with their recovery. You must make them see that they can overcome addiction like other people and always deal with the issue calmly. It is worth getting to know and detect the behaviour of a compulsive gambler to understand what the symptoms of their illness are.

You can do it on your own, but a support person makes it easier, especially if you have serious problems caused by gambling. Talk about your gambling problems with somebody you trust who won’t judge you. This person might be a spouse, parent or friend. Many organisations offer professional counselling, advice and support. Opening up to someone can ease the stress and emotional pain that.

When you quit gambling, you will have more time for a well-paid job and be able to concentrate your attention, so it will be more likely that your income will increase while ill-considered expenses will decrease. If gambling disappears from your life, you may be significantly less likely that you will become depressed and lose the chance to insure your health and life due to it.

Why Gamblers Can't Just Stop. Nobody wakes up one day and decides to become a gambling addict. Gambling usually begins as a recreational activity - it's a way to spend time with friends while enjoying the game and the excitement of the chance to win a few bucks. Recreational gamblers generally stick to a time and money budget. When they reach their limit, they stop and move on to the next.
