    I started gambling in 1999. I have lost a fortune. This week I have stopped buying tickets and I pray that I will never ever return to a casino. It is a horrible addiction that many people do not understand. It is a lifelong addiction.

    • Hi Frog
      Thank you for sharing your decades long experience. Good for you for turning a page.
      I struggled with slot machines. It desensitized the value of money for me. You’d think I’d get when I had to keep going back for more money to put in those machines but I just didn’t. It’s a short time that I’ve been away a couple of weeks because I had a slip. Before that it was a couple of months.And before that was periodically. Not the full blown I need to play every day.
      I closed two accounts I had online. Have no desire to go to a casino or a bar to play v.l.t.‘s
      There is a sadness that a carry with me that I ever started gambling . I know I can’t go back and change the past. I can only work on the future and I am happy I’m able too
      You are not alone in your struggles to beat this addiction there’s you and I and so many more people. We can beat this if we want it badly enough. One day at a time and there so many great days ahead. ❤️
