MY ADDICTION TO GAMBLING
HELLO, MY NAME IS LENA AND I HAVE AN ADDICTION TO GAMBLING. I AM A SECRET-GAMBLER, YOU CAN SAY.
MY HUSBAND DOESN'T ALWAYS KNOW THAT I AM GAMBLING ON THE ONLINE CASINO SITES THAT THEY HAPPEN TO PROVIDE GAMBLERS LIKE MYSELF.
I KNOW IT SOUNDS PRETTY PATHETIC BUT I AM ADDICTED.
I PLAY THE INSTANT WIN SCRATCH-OFF TICKETS. I HAVE PROBABLY SPENT OVER $500,000 SINCE I HAVE STARTED GAMBLING, AND WON ONLY $4,000 OF THAT 500K.
WHEN I SAY I AM A SECRET-GAMBLER, I MEAN THAT I LIE TO MY HUSBAND WHEN THE RENT MONEY DISAPPEARS FROM TIME TO TIME. SOMETIMES, I AM ABLE TO CONTROL MYSELF AND SAY, "NO, THIS MONTH YOU ARE NOT GOING TO BE A FUCKING IDIOT".
IF YOU HAPPEN TO LOOK ON THE BACK AT THE SCRATCH-OFF TICKETS, IT CLEARLY STATES, "PLEASE PLAY RESPONSIBLY". I THINK I HAVE CROSSED THAT LINE OF PLAYING "RESPONSIBLY". I HAVE THOUGHT ABOUT GETTING SOME PROFESSIONAL HELP BUT I WOULD BE TERRIBLY EMBARRASSED.
AND THEN THERE'S THE THOUGHT OF LOSING MY HUSBAND. WHO WANTS TO BE WITH AN ADDICT, OF ANY KIND? MAYBE A SEX ADDICT BUT NOT IN HELL A FUCKING GAMBLING ONE.
I JUST CAN'T SEEM TO HELP MYSELF. I GET ALL SWEATY AND MY HEART RACES LIKE WATCHING THE HORSES ON A RACE TRACK. MY HANDS GET ALL CLAMMY, AND THEN THE MINUTE I LOSE, MY HEART SINKS TO THE BOTTOM OF MY ASS. MY MIND RACES LIKE CRAZY.
BUT UNFORTUNATELY, I ENJOY IT. I LOVE IT. I'M PATHETIC.
HELLO, MY NAME IS LENA AND I AM ADDICTED TO GAMBLING. ):
Sounds terrible. I am struggling with a marijuana addiction, and it is tough, but i have sought out help in my local community and am going to counselling and therapy to sort things out. I recommend you seek help as well. Many people are in similar situations, and being ashamed only makes it harder to endure, and eventually, overcome. Best of luck from Denmark (especially if you keep gambling)!
i will ask you nicely to remove the flagging you did to me. i will only ask once. if you do not remove them by tomorrow i will have to repay the favor. so please remove the flags.
Hope things worked out for you
Why would you feel the need to post a meme like that? You think addictions are fun and games, or are you just one of those pesky trolls ruining the internet for everyone else?... Heroin, marijuana or gambling, it doesn't make a difference. An addiction is an addiction, and its no fun.
im sry you have a different opinion. I personally don't belive in marijuana addiction. if my opinion offends you, why not ignore it? bob saget is only saying that as someone that has had a "real addiction" that marijuana is not addictive.
Your username should be Ignorant, not skeptic. You can be addicted to basically anything on the surface of earth, and properly even more. Sure, its not a physical addiction like heroin, or other opiates. Enjoy this exciting article.

i am sorry i posted a meme instead of a link to information. here is an article you can check out. basically it says we both are right depending on our deffintion of addiction.

Not only did you post a meme, it was an offensive one seemingly targeted towards me. I am not gonna argue the meaning of singular words with you, i just felt like pointing out how uselessly offensive your post was.
as i said we have different opinons of what addiction is. especially if your retort is how someone is addicted to the smell of dirty diapers. maby its the fact that i don't think feelings have anything to do with addiction, its all chemical in my eyes. the feelings come from the chemical addiction,not the other way around. so no i disagree about your statement of " You can be addicted to basically anything on the surface of earth, and properly even more". its ok to disagree. you have to understand im skeptic because i use logic, facts and science not feelings and emotions. i wish you could have a conversation about this without gitting mad and resorting to name calling. hope you day gets better yo!
I guess good thing for me that I do not care about offending people. like i said logic, facts, and science. I care not about fweelings.
I spent my life in rehab since 1982...I only learned TWO things..."Don't advertise what you're doing"...And "Don't get caught"...You' ll know when you are done wanting to abuse things...& you WILL stop yourself!...Some people have to hit 'rock bottom' before dealing with their addiction...And it's always there even when you DO finally quit...so you learn to deal with the situation...Getting help works for some...but you MUST have a 'frame of mind' & deal with it!
