Hi Bettie, here’s a question for you. What have you got to lose by trying GA as your friend suggests?
Coalminer, well done on not going to gamble with your friend. Next time it would be better not to say you are "too busy" though or to make any other excuse. If you do that then there is no reason for her to stop asking you in the future. "I have decided to stop gambling" is a better response. You don’t have to go into details, I just tell people i got fed up with losing. You won’t have to say it more than a few times before she stops asking you to go with her. If she is a real friend then there will be plenty of other things you can do together.
