It has been a great while since my last entry. I have been reluctant to write anything.
It is not that I can handle this alone or want to withdraw, it is just that I seem to be on
the verge of "insanity". I am doing the same things over and over again and expecting
different results. Since discovering the bars with the different machines, I have making
excuses to myself and putting money in. I know that I have to stop, but I keep on telling
myself that is is a lot less money that I used to spend and that this keeps me from visiting
the casinos. The same feelings of feeling hopeless and lost have returned.
I feel like such a low life. I have to bounce back one way or another, I am making life
miserable for my family. Out of all the addictions, this is by far the worst one.
The nearest GA meeting is on Saturday mornings, I have no more excuses, I am going!

Hi Casinobogie, I haven't been on in a while either. I have just been working. Don't feel so terrible about yourself. We all have the same thoughts from time to time. You have to be tougher than this addiction though. Don't let it kick your butt again. It has obviously already taken its toll on thousands of people. We just have to be strong. I BELIEVE IN YOU! mamabear21

......a wise man once said the following........
" I think I will put in my two cents worth. "Luck" is not reality, but fantasy. An illusion of the mind to believe that one can achieve success by chance. It is much too easy to believe that "Luck" will make you well off in life and not hard work and determination.
I suppose in today's day and age with all the media projecting the image of glamour and riches being achieved quickly and easily, it is not hard to fall into their trap. So.......it comes down to, not being "Lucky", but, pulling up your britches and getting back to work. "
