    I gambled because I enjoyed the game. I enjoyed playing. It passed the time for me and kept me entertained. I enjoy talking to people beside me.

    I hoped to win just so I could keep playing longer. “Just keep me alive for a few more spins”

    Today, is the first day Playing for fun is destroying me. I wrote a check to myself (which will bounce now) to go gamble. For hours and hours I happily played barely keeping above water. I then won all my money back plus a bit more. It did cross my mind I should cash out, deposit this so my checks cleared.

    Nope. I kept having fun. Before I knew it I was done. No more money. Gone.

    I drove home in tears and sick to my stomach. I don’t even have money for milk.

    It isn’t for “fun” anymore. Its an excuse to gamble. Just like I say, I am not here to win big money just to pass my time away.

    If that was the case I would of been thankful for many hours playing, seen I won my money back and LEAVE.

    I can relate. I also have nothing. In fact today I wrote a check to myself. I did need gas, but hey, I wrote it for lots more so I could gamble. There is no money in the account once that check goes through.

    What makes it worse is I DID win it. I sat there looking at the amount. Thinking I should cash out and deposit that money so my check doesn’t bounce. I even won some extra to.

    Nope. I blew it all.

    Makes me sick to my stomach and I was in tears on the drive home.

    I am at home and have no money for milk. 

    I could say I don’t gamble with the money you do, yet that is an excuse on my part – to justify what I have done.

    No matter what we both lost. I really do feel for you and me.
