Hi. My name is Jimmy, and I suppose by now the evidence is irrefutable.

I am a gambling addict. But fear not.

I have no wish to preach, or ram enlightenment down anyone’s throat like the chaps at my meeting. Seriously, it’s all they ever talk about. Yes, I spunked an unfathomable amount of money, opportunity and time. None of it is coming back. I’m also a semi-decent fantasy football manager but they never ask about that do they? Enquire about the rumour I made my girlfriend orgasm a fortnight ago? Fat chance; yes, the rumour, but also the enquiry.

My intention is merely to give an honest, chronological account of my descent into gambling madness, and an unflinching depiction of my life these days as I attempt to claw my way out of a crumbling, self-inflicted hole. Do with it what you will.
