Wetherspoons has net taking of over £50 million a year from fruit machines alone, his #ipub destroyers targeting vulnerable addicts with drink & gambling whilst his staff can barely afford to live on poverty wages. Greedy man.

Ya know that feeling when you’ve tweeted something ridiculously personal then panic that you don’t know what you’re on about so go quiet for 3 days?
That.
But it doesn’t make me weak.
Neither does my mental health. Neither does feeling suicidal.

Ontario Gov’t takes $2.5Billion in #gambling revenues and used to pay 0.001% of that to cope with the harm - shocking they didn’t pay more and doubly shocking they are now paying nothing and forcing @GREOntario to close! Sad world we live in where harm is someone else’s problem.
Regulating specific #gambling products just encourages addicts to switch games and to different forms of gambling, often with more harm @SkyBetRichard @carolynharris24 @GamblingHurts @andygosling2 @Jack41Uk @GRHAPPG @tom_watson independent.co.uk/news/busin…
The #FOBT restriction is a start, but if you want to reduce the number of problem gamblers then a more realistic strategy is needed @mimsdavies @DCMS - otherwise I guarantee that problem gambling will double in the next 5 years and with it the number of suicides.

Last days of £100 stakes on the #fobts. Thanks to : @mattzarb @carolynharris24 @rdunbar83 @DavidLammy @tracey_crouch @vincemaple @ronniecowan IDS, Lord Chadlington & others & of course all the campaigners. I hope we will soon see additional actions to reduce online #gambling harm
Come across many definitions of 'Recovery' - recovery of our situation, finances, relationships, moods, sanity, etc. But underpinning all these is Recovery of Self, our identity. But who ARE we without the #gambling? That's where the journey of Discovery begins, one day at a time
