‘Rediscover the real you’: George shares how he beat his gambling problem
Given it’s Responsible Gambling Awareness Week, we’d like to share an inspirational letter recently sent to a Mission Australia’s Gambling Counsellor.
Written from the heart, it beautifully sums up George’s journey and demonstrates that, with the right support and attitude, it’s possible to overcome a gambling problem.
“I knew that if I was going to kick my gambling habit than I needed professional help."

This month Mission Australia is celebrating our volunteers and asking Australians to try a little tenderness and get behind Channel 10’s About Mission Australia
Mission Australia is a community service organisation that has been transforming the lives of Australians in need for more than 150 years. Today we provide more than 550 community and employment services that help over 300,000 Australians a year.
Our vision is to see a fairer Australia by enabling people in need to find pathways to a better life. Walking alongside those in need, our 3,500 employees and 1,700 volunteers help them discover:
Pathways to strong families and healthy, happy children
Pathways through a successful youth
Pathways away from homelessness
Pathways for life and work-ready skills
Pathways to sustainable employment
Working together we strengthen families, empower youth, strive to solve homelessness and provide employment solutions. By learning from others and sharing what works well for us, we are able to deliver positive outcomes for individuals, families and communities.
We aim to stop problems before they start, provide support to prevent situations from getting worse and form partnerships to find long-term solutions to community issues.
