Hi Colleen, I could ramble for a very long time about the DANGERS of casinos and gambling and the hell they can do and will happen if you don't stop ,chill out, think, and re-assess your situation, but for purposes of not wanting to bore you or anyone else......I must tell you run now and run the FU&K away from the casino scene as quick and fast as you can.!!! I tell you this because I am OCD as well and fun and alluring as the idea of winning big is...Odds are NOT IN YOUR FAVOR!!!!
Gambling like what you describe may seem innocent but for people like you and I and millions of others it can totally F*CK up your life. I know because it and alcohol cost me my business, it hurt a lot of people that loved and trusted me, almost landed me in jail, forced me to file Bankruptcy, lose *Everything* I had. I am now on disability live at my parents and am just now .... beginning to see any light at the end of the tunnel for recovery (very treatment resistant) (ECT and all)..... like I said I could go on and on and probably have but I feel so so very strong about this that I just have to tell you these things!! Manic, desperate or not it is NOT the solution! Please call your pdoc and be completely honest with him in what is going on!!! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!!!! I am sorry if this reply comes across as overly strong or offensive, but I don't want to see you or anyone go through the hell and anguish that I have gone through. Quitting my drinking was a cake walk compared to stopping gambling. I know I do not know your full and exact situation but, Attorneys'(most) will work with you on $$$ and payments ! Banks, credit card companies and others with vested financial intrest are not usually very nice...they want thier $$$ and are usually not very sympathetic when you tell them you can't pay because you have mental illness. If you have any comments or questions please ask! I literally lost a Million dollar business I founded and started- to the allure of the bright lights, cr*ps, slots and black jack. Not that I could'nt win...I could but I just could'nt stop when I was "up" I wanted more and more and more and more.......
OCD has many forms and guises and it almost cost me my life!! Please take action tommorow!!
Best Regards
Snapper
