Oh yes, we were Elite at our casino. $80 voucher for dinner meant $1200.00 in losses. All the while my sister is taking vacations and we of course, can not afford to go with them.
Wish I could get a do-over for the last 5 years…..
My sister told my sister-in-law about us self-excluding. It sort of upset me, as I thought she understood this information was confidential. I guess it doesn’t matter, the more who know, the less I have to worry about my secret getting out. It’s just so humiliating to be the one with a problem. I wonder if this means, all the times I was thinking I was helping someone through something tough, that I was secretly judging them? Why should I worry what people think? My sister-in-law will tell others. Maybe it will help someone else.
My household, probably lways appeared to have it all together. Maybe everyone knowing our “secret” will let them feel better about their own issues. I just fear that we will be a stumbling block to someone. Living the church life with a gambling addiction sure would look like hypocrisy to a lot of people.
Knowing we were living a double sort of life, made me quick to forgive others. I hope that as this comes out to the rest of our families and friends they will be forgiving of us. (Me).
My husband is the very best guy in the world. Everyone loves him. He is so laid back and calm. Not me, I am the shrew. I am Eve. Thank God for His mercy and Grace. I am in need if it daily.
