    I went on a gambling binge today and I hate myself for it. It was just like old times…staying out all night and lying to my family. I wouldn’t wish this addiction on anyone. I stayed at the casino all night into the next day. Of course, lost a lot of money. The casinos know how to wheel you in.

    • Sorry to hear and you hit the nail on the head, Lisa. “The casinos DO know how to entice you in”… It’s like that old gambler’s motto,
      “The House Always Wins.” There is a lot of truth to that old saying.
      With this cunning disease that changes our “thinking” and will always try and talk us into going back out as if we have control when we surely know better than we don’t! This addiction will keep you out if you win or lose. Then we feel like crap with shame and remorse because we have to lie about all of it. Why and where we were gone so long, the money lost, and on and on. Just get back on the recovery train and I know you can do this… “-)
