I know i need to never go to the Casino and play slots again. Right now I probably have lost between 8 to 5 Grand in the last 2 years. The most i have ever lost of my own money is about $1200. That happened 4 months ago when my Dad let me borrow 3k. So I could get my online business back on track. I was so happy and had no plan what so ever to gamble with it but on my way to buy inventory. I could not resist the urge but lucky i did not bring all the money with me so when i finally lost it all what I had brought with me it was $1200. I was physically sick and could not believe it. I could not stop till it was all gone and thats when i knew for sure this was becomming a problem. So I started away for about 2 months went back but when i went back I would fill my gas tank and leave all debit cards at home and take between $60 to a $100. And since the Casino is a hour away the urge is gone till next week. But I have been neglecting the little things that my kids need. Just to have that little money to play every week. And its eating me up I feel so guilty. I have to stop completely and not just try to control the amount I lose. Cause soon I will be out of control and out of a family. I just have to start somewhere so I guess admitting I have a problem and wanting and ready to change is where I start.
