    I hope I do not offend you, but I want to speak positive things to you so instead of calling you no soul, I’ve changed it to (know soul).  I just want you to know that you are not battling this thing alone.  We are here to motivate and encourage you that there is a better life out there for us all.  I am still battling this thing and I’ve been going to the casino since I was 21 and now is 30.  My mom love the slots and introduced me.  I remember playing $60 and having a great time… now my minimum is $300-500 plus. Don’t know how I got there and only see it getting worse so I reached out just like you.  You definitely have a purpose here and you have the proof to show it.  Hang in there!!! I will pray for us all:)  What I have noticed there is an underlying problem to why I enjoy gambling so much.  My social life sucks and I believe that this is the reason for my habit.  Do you have an idea regarding you?serenity prayer

    Thank you so much for replying Kathryn and welcoming me.  Good luck to you too.  I don’t want to give up gambling totally, but I want to have a budget and do it in moderation.  Is that still bad?? and he knows about me gambling, but the last time I didn’t tell him about it. I was too embarrassed. I tell him all the time that I have a problem, but I think he thinks I’m joking (sighs)serenity prayer
