So much has happened since then. My husband, my gambling partner passed away April 2015 after 3 ’bouts of cancer. I stopped gambling in 2014. Just a month or so ago out of complete loneliness I went to the Casino. I had a horrible time. It did not draw me to it like it used to. Which I am thankful for. I know that gambling does not solve any problems. No matter how big or small. It doesn’t cure loneliness. I have new friends that I meet with for lunch and day bus trips.

I still remember the guilt, the remorse, and how much I hated myself the day after gambling. I am thankful that time does take away the urges. But you do have to be careful. Once sitting in front of that machine, you’re hooked again. Don’t do it!
