I know a lot of people say to don’t blame the casino but it’s the greedy casino who use the best technology and gimmicks to entice us and addict us. They want to get us hooked and get our money. We are victims…but there comes a time when we realize the damage gambling is causing in our lives and we have the choice to try to break their hold. It’s so tough at first. That’s why it’s important for the road blocks so we can’t cause too much financial damage. In the early days, the need or desire to gamble is so strong that we do what we can just to gamble…again that’s why it’s important to make sure we CAN"T gamble. My heart broke for you when I read your post on Running Girls thread. I have some shameful gambling moments too…but that’s all behind us today. You have food, warmth and security. You are a winner.
