      From ronna October 26

      hi, why don't you go to gamblers anm. for support? they can help you. please don't be like my husband, he is a gambler, we lost our home, credit, everything, and he stills gambles. he won't admit he has a problem. this has been going on all his life. when i married him, i didn't know. he likes the ponies, and sports games to gamble on. i have no respect for him, either do our children. my husband won't get help!!!! he loves to gamble too much. he would gamble and not care about food, bills, nothing. i give you all credit for trying to stop. i know how hard it must be. good luck and be strong.

      Gamblers Anonymous Working / Worked
      I went 30 days without placing a bet; received a 30-day key chain and then proceeded to go back to it with a gumption; I felt so guilty and bad and embarrassed that I didn't go back to the group.
