Hannah shares her story of developing a gambling habit through arcade games, pokies, TAB betting and then on casino tables. It provides an insight into gambling addiction and her eventual recovery through Gamblers Anonymous. Hannah also shares about the effect of alcohol, “I realized that if I’d drink then I’d gamble” and on her young son, “on his Fisher-Price toy telephone he wouldn’t say hello, he’d just quote my TAB betting phone account number.”
If you’re having trouble with gambling, or have a friend or family member that does, then maybe Gamblers Anonymous could help – phone (03) 9696 6108 or visit their website gaaustralia.org.au for information and to see a list of local meetings.
