For all you problem gamblers out there like myself. Research 'Archie Karas' a professional gambler who had an incredible run that won him millions of dollars. Because he was so sick, he lost the lot. There are many tales of people who have won hundreds of millions of dollars on the lottery and ended up destitute. Gambling for us is not about the money, it's the thrill. Simply put, gambling for the likes of us will never work out well. Make it your mission in life to chase women, jump out of aeroplanes, seek other thrills because so many thousands of people kill themselves due to this sick addiction.
Hi Caterbury100,
Gambling became about being in action, money was just the fuel. Maybe be careful about chasing women and jumping out of planes, they could well be replacing one addiction with another. I went to GA in 2005 and wasn't ready, I went to rehab in 2016 and then back to GA, this time it's totally different, I started seeing more similarities than I did differences.
Just for today I will not gamble, one day at a time.
