hey friend I too have just returned from another nightmare in the casino. I hope its my rock bottom and that I never return to a casino again. What it has cost me is ridiculous. i could have paid for a house by now I think. Emotionally I hurt inside but restrain myself from showing anyone I love the impact it has on me. I have only myself to blame but I know with the right advice and follow through I can change and so can you. We are the 30 percent of gamblers that keep them in business and we just keep handing over our funds in hope of hitting the mother of all jackpots which just isn’t there for us. Oh sure people win every now again but the majority just put in back in trying to get more the next time. Only the folks who come once in awhile are able to leave with winnings, that’s the other 70 % not us. I am going to stop this insanity once and for all and start living life without gambling. You can too by learning what it is you need to do to prevent yourself from going. This forum is a good place to start but you must do much more to regain control of your life. Seek help councilling, tie up your money, cut up cards and reach out to people able to help you that are close to you. Get them info on what a compulsive gambler is so they know how to help you. Answer the 20 questions and share the info with your loved ones ( if they are capable of helping) try to find replacement activities that you enjoy that aren’t destructive. Keep busy and tie up your time. N one is without value or a complete failure. We got caught up in a destructive habit and like any habit it too can be broken. One day at a time my friend one day a time. Hoping and praying for yours and mine recovery and for all others out there who find themselves suffering from this addiction FG
