Hi "let it ride"

This post will probably cause a storm and people will probably be mad at me but I am not one to hold back because it's not a popular answer. The reality is.....you asked us about something and not everyone will agree.

I want you to know that this post is not in malice. I feel bad for you because I understand addiction, truely I do.

The thing is....the reality is that addicts have relapses, no matter the addiction. This doesnt mean your going to fall down forever, you recognized it and did something about by writing these casinos and having your account closed BUT........You cant really blame them. That is like asking a bar to remember you and never serve you a drink because of alcoholism or telling a drug dealer not to serve you anymore because you are a drug addict. The reality is that this is their bread and butter and unfortunately, they depend on addicts to do well.

I wish we could just tell our "companies, suppliers, bars to do this and it would work but everything falls on the addict not to be tempted. Again, I know this and wont go into this because this post is about you, not me.

I wish you well and will never judge you or anyone else that has a relapse. I just feel we shouldnt blame the people who make a living sucking money from people. It is up to us to stay strong and make phone calls and find ways to distract ourselves.
