I am a nurse to. I can relate. I know about the stress of the job. I almost took a postion on a ICU stepdown unit but the stress was too much for me so after 6 weeks of training I resigned. I am going to make the decision to not go back to the casino. I am the person that you would look at a say she is so lucky. In this past year I have won 30 thousand dollars. I have spent some of it right and some of it wrong. I have it in my mind that I can win a million but I don’t want to waste a million trying to win a million. There will always be an excuse to play but it is not worth it. I plan to become a doctor and am actively working on it. I am afraid that if I don’t stop now I will just create a bigger mess later in life. I am too out of control to keep playing. I had this one guy tell me I was too smart to be wasting my time in the casino. That is not saying that if you are not a nurse you are not smart but the point is as nurse we have to ability to make decent money. Try to find something postive that eats up your time and know that you will never have control in a casino, so the best thing to do is just stay away. Listen to calm music at home, make peace about your job (do something else or find a healthier stress relief). Take care!
