Casinos a Part of Social Life
I have been gambling in casinos for 8 years. Have some periods of control and others where I barely make ends meet.
I make around 70K/year and live in a one bedroom apartment. My credit is shot and I have no friends left because they were tired of being blown off.
OK - I binged last night and lost $400. Only had $129 in my account so my next pay will be less due to a negative checking account balance and I will have to scrimp to pay bills. This has been how I have been living for the past few years. Never huge losses but a consistent drain.
Why do I do it? I don't plan on it. Don't want to. I really do not have anything left as sad as that sounds. Now on a Friday night I have nothing else to do but to go to a casino. Always rationalize it like, "I will only spend $40," or one win and I am out. It always results in either me drawing out my account to the negative or if I do win it's gone in a few days with a few more casino trips.
I want to stop but what do you do with your life when you do? If you're like me, casinos have become your social life.
I have been trying to get myself to go to Gamblers Anonymous for a few years but have yet to walk through the door.

Thanks for a resourceful content. this is what i have been looking for so long. I don't get the idea why they start these kind of trial when the criminal are old. Perhaps this more personal form of accountability will deter future actors where the fear of international condemnation has not.
