Terry shares his gambling journey, starting as a primary school child playing arcade games excessively and ending up playing the pokies in Albury at the end of his teens. He married and had 3 children before his gambling exacerbated problems in his marriage and he ended up as a single parent living on a pension. Terry could not stop gambling and eventually sought help from Gamblers Anonymous and that enabled him to break the isolation, understand his addiction and address his real gambling problems.
After a few years in GA, terry tried to manage his gambling on his own and drifted back to playing Keno while having a meal but realized in time that it was just out of control gambling. He returned to GA about four years ago and has not gambled since.
