Hey everyone Thought I'd start up a topic that's close to me. The criticism one gets from being addicted to playing casino games. For me it's the slot machines. If I could I would own several and have them in my lounge lol now that's a dream what really disturbs me though is the judgemental comments others feel necessary to throw at you. For example family members, they all think they have this righteous power to berate me about my addiction. I'm not a fool. I know I have an addiction. I'm in control of it. ***** if I wasn't then we'd be living on the street. Those who berate, verbally abuse and point fingers need to look at themselves, everyone has a vice that they are addicted to, it could be food, shopping, smoking, drugs, drinking, playing on line games etc so why knock out our addictions and make us feel so bad. It has got to the point where I have to hide where I'm going when I go to the casino and that's messed up. I should be allowed especially at my age to do as I want when I want. But life is not like that, it's not simple cut, it's cruel and humans are the meanest of the bunch. Friends - do you know how hard it is to really find a like minded friend who's as interested in gambling as you yourself are? It is far harder than looking for that needle in a hay stack (TRUE) Any ways do you all get criticised, persecuted, and hung by the population jury? if you do how do you handle it? What do you say to those who are raining on your parade? God I love this site, finally I get to be who I really am without being judged I love to gamble - end of story Hugs Peggy
