I have money to spend on myself and my mokos. I am back in control of my life, my health, my finances and my wellbeing, my love life.

To the woman who saved me from myself. We met a few years ago to help control my gambling on pokie machines. You put up with my timetable, my many issues that arose consistently, all without judgement and having my best interests at heart.

My work over the past 12 months with Oasis has been life-changing, plain and simple. I've transformed from being a person with hardwired negative default settings and attitudes built around a lifetime of fear, depression, and anxiety, to someone who now has self-respect, self-esteem and self-confidence.

What I found really helpful about Oasis was it gave me an ability to talk to someone specifically about the underlying problems that triggered gambling.

You have been there for me through thick and thin, with my worst time spending a lot of money in a month.

In face-to-face counselling with my counsellor, I came to trust her. I appreciated the lack of judgement and the support she showed me to achieve my goals.
