I am new here and just started reading some posts.It is shocking to see so many similar stories.I always was having false perception of people having fun at casinos but now I realise.
I started going only to accompany my husband and because they offer free dollars to play I joined membership.Only recently after nearly 2 yrs when my husband is away on business I have started uncontrolled gambling.
I am afraid to face him and try to gamble more thinking I can win and replace the loss.It is getting worse and worse.
I win and gamble more.Its greed and something takes control on your mind.
My husband is not back another few days.I have very little money left and am totally scared.He is a gentleman and I know he will help.But ashamed of myself.
I have heard people loosing everything they have with this addiction but only started truly understanding now.
Please God help me fight this.
Jason you are very loving not to leave your wife in this crisis.As I would understand as fellow gambler about her is she is in denial as there is no financial strain.
Dont know if it would help if you cut off your financial contribution to the household?
First of all she has to accept to herself and then try to seek help.As I lost 2000 Dollars in one day I know I need help. I couldn’t sleep last night and cried through the night.
We all need lot of courage and patience to fight this demon taking control of our lives.God bless!
