Sin-Li
I was a very young adult say about early 20's when I nearly got hooked by casino betting, as I was on low having lost a hobby I dearly loved I used casino to easo my woes. The amount was frist in it the $20.00 mark then the time length and amount started increasing. I tried Pokies, didn't like em so I went full out on the table games. I spent quite a bit on the black jack or baccarrat tables. to the point of emptying out my bank account I'd stay and play but I pay for it later.....
For me, it ment trouble as I got back home, as I'd get a hiding for the money I'd wasted, the worse low was when started pawn, steal anything I could lay my hands on. The crunch came when I was made move out, which happened when I nearly lost everything famliy incuded. As for me I knew I had to stop this vicous cycle now, and in a hurry! So to gambler's concellours I went. After a few years, it let off and I was able to resume life with me folks again before the monster took over my life. Now if I do go, I don't go alone and I go in a group.
