Thank you for the advice Larry, blue and uncontrolled.  Yesterday was the SuperBowl- AKA Gambling Amatuer Hour.  In a dark basement, alone I gambled all day again-I gained some money back but was still down 1k for the week so of course that just won’t help the situation.  My friend tried to get me out of my house, inviting me to go shoping with her and her sister but after telling her how low I was feeling I had to deny going and instead gambled more of my soul away.  I am ashamed to say, even to strangers that I owe 9k to an illegal bookie and another 7k to a bank with witch I borrowed 4k twice to cover my gambling losses. yea, so things are pretty scary for me.  If you couldn’t tell, my social life is pretty non-existent now as I can’t even afford to put more than 10 dollars in my gas tank.  The amount of money I have in my bank is only for the bills for the next two weeks–no frills at all- not even a pack of gum.  Does this sound like rock bottom to anybody else?  To anyone else, besides my two best friends- this knowledge would be a complete shock as I have kept this a total secret from my family.  My mom keeps sending me listings of houses she wants me to look at to buy—my parents would be absolutlely crushed if they knew what I have done to my life.  Just 2 hours ago I put my golf clubs on ebay- I don’t think I’ll be needing them anymore.
