Have anyone ever went to the casino and actually won. I am certain the answer the answer in no. It's crazy you go there to win money and if you do win all of a sudden those shoes you wanted to buy or clothes or whatever you want dissipates from your thinking. When ur gambling there is so much you need and want but when u have the money ur mind tells you different. It's says u can all the time just go back and win more. I hope god gives us the trust and faith in him no those casinos. You ever wonder is gambling a sin. The answer is tricky the bible doesn't say thou shall not play blackjack. But it does say you can't have to masters if u serve money you can't god. You can't love both god and money. Chose one. I hope we all have a gamble fee day.1
however, no matter what our beliefs are, we can always make a new start, and quit gambling. From now on, I won't focus on the wrong or the mistakes I've done. I'm looking forward to a better life without gambling.
Was it really greed in money? I doubt it. If it was, I would have left when I doubled or tripled my money.

So I gamble and gamble until I am bottomed out.
Insane cycle of torture continues.
My god was good when I make up the loss and my god was punishing me when I loose it all. How convenient is that?
I was that person with distorted view and delusional mind. No value of money, no considerstion for my family, selfish and devious manipulator who blamed everyone else.
I know now that it was all my choosing. No casino have twisted my arms, not even once. As matter of fact they tried to accomodated me best as they can. I am the one that who thought $200.00 cup of coffee was a good deal, $500.00 buffet was cheap, $1000.00 a night room was very sweet. If you look up oxymoron on the dictionary, it says "Victoria"
I simply cannot eat this poisonous berry anymore. I have enough of poison built in my system that next one will just kill me. So, I chose to enjoy other fruits, and to my surprise, I love them!
Thank you for sharing your thoughts. Keep coming back!
Love,
