    I think back at how many times I was outside the casino on my cell phone trying to get my credit card companies to increase my credit limit so I could gamble more. Just an insane circle of debt and stupidity. I pray that I don’t go back. I’m afraid if I do, one of these times I won’t be able to bounce back, I’ll just fall, and be another number on some suicide stat sheet. Each time its harder and harder to bounce back.

    Many times I would go into the casino, and pray for the people, and myself. Maybe I thought if I pray for them God would help me win. Many times I could see just like you, the sorrow. I could see the older people on oxygen tanks while they smoked a cigarette, and hope and pray that I don’t turn out like that.

    How many times I walked out of the casino saying to myself this is it and this is the last time. Only to go back again and again. How many times we all felt like suicide is that solution. Of course it is not. We all hate ourselves for the thousands upon thousands we have lost. However, somehow we have to be strong, and we will come out of this. Payday loans are about the worst thing you can do. Its highway robbery the interest they charge people. I will pray for you and myself that we can both stop this insanity. You are not alone.

    Thank you. So many times I tried to stop. How embarrassing that a man of my age is still so stupid.

    I wish I could go back 35 years in time and tell my younger self how much gambling would ruin my life. I wish I could tell myself that you don’t have to gamble to be happy. I too need to ban myself from the local casino, only then will I be able to stop.
