Hi! New to the group. My first time in a casino was last spring on a cruise. Then they opened one in Bristol, VA which is about 40 minutes from my house. I’ve been spending alot of money there. I told myself last month, that was it, that this month I was going to quit wasting my money. I am on fixed income and get my check the 1st of each month. Today is the 5th and I have about $50 left to do me the rest of the month. At least, the important bills are paid. I am behind on my gas bill, though. I check my bank account tonight and almost threw up. I have to stop but I keep thinking the next time I go, I’m going to hit big. It’s only happened once, though.

I’m sorry Mimi it’s going to be a tough month it sounds like.
I remember a time where I made a post like you have today. And I wanted to quit but couldn’t find the strength to do it. I wonder if you will be one of the lucky ones that can stop before it hurts you to much. I hope so.
There is no going back for me.
It’s fun enchanting and maybe not even fun for sure not afterwards. The drive home after losing money is so painful.
Welcome there are pretty nice people adding support here.
Hugs
Yes, I hate that drive home. Yes, that drive home seems like it takes forever.
Mimi you will be okay. I hope you continue coming here and sharing your experience, thoughts and feelings. ❤️
Mimi.. that’s what I kept thinking … one day I’ll win big… pay everything off and stop… Trouble is that I didn’t win big.. maybe small amounts here or there… but I kept doing it till I got so far in debt . My children found out because one had access to see my bank account… and though I never thought they’d respond like they did… the helped me … For certain people like those here gambling is an addiction that controls us too much… Really try to find another avenue to spend your time and try to stop before you get in any deeper… take care… Lindy
