Hi Carolyn, It breaks my heart thinking about your 3 wishes. And what gambling has done to you. We all have stories to tell , most of them heart breaking. I have completely destroyed 25 years of my life with my Gambling Addiction. Ruined relationships, unsurmountable debts, family rows, loss of long term friendships, basically a complete waste of time.I have so many regrets through gambling I have lost ***** , but what can I do.I cannot change the past. We all have to stop sometime before it consumes all of our lives and sanity. And we are left with no future. I think you have reached a point in you life now , when you have to say enough is enough and call it quits . I myself have only stopped gambling for only 10 days,so have a long way to go still. But whenever I have the urge to gamble , I come on this website ,read some posts and maybe try to give some advice, instead of gambling. We are all in the same boat here. So good luck with your recovery and Wish you all the best and I am sure you will be happy one day.– 06/01/2012 16:16:04: post edited by blueelvis888.
