I am just really totally confused,
most of us have been down this path and some of us are still are trying to get out, ilossetomuch knows he has a problem and is trying his best to get help, he admitted he is a compulsive gambler and he can't stop, how can anyone tell him "no one is holding a gun to your head" and "maybe your marriage is in trouble, divorce and get other pleasures" and "get your sorry ass out of the chair, accept responsibility and get out in fresh air" not to mention other not so nice advise.
As we all know, when we gamble, stopping is easier said than done, and when people are that bad it does lead to other problems down the road, such as lying, stealing, losing homes, cars, and in desperation, trying to get their money back from some casinos" but most important losing their families..he is still gambling not because he wants to or because he is in an unhappy marriage, we don't know when it all started or why he plays, but whatever the reason, we should just try and support him and be here for him when he falls..
I am not saying everyone is bashing him, a lot of members gave some really good advise and some really good web-sites for him to go to for help, but what we have to keep in mind is that this is all new to him and he is going to fall and he does want help, so instead of making him feel like a piece of crap, lets just support him..maybe he's not trying to get his money back from this casino, maybe he is, we don't know yet whats going on, but what I do know from my own experience when I first started with CM, I received SO MUCH support, and it has helped me more than I could have imagined, If I received some of the negative responses that iloosetomuch received, I would have never signed back on again and I still would be gambling..call me weak
I don't get tempted to play because of all the different casino sites on here or because of the screen shots, I know whats out there, maybe it doesn't effect him either..I just get upset because some people are sensative, I know myself if I get upset or hurt I would turn to gambling to make me feel better and I don't want to see iloosetomuch to be turned off or upset about some of the negative advise and leave CM...we all handle things differently, someone tried to have me blocked from here because they thought I should be in GA instead of here, if I would have gotten blocked I would still be gambling, GA was not for me, and I had a really good member on here fight for me so I wouldn't be blocked, talk about support
I am here to try and help him from not gambling, whatever his intentions are with the casinos, is not my concern right now, good or bad..I don't want him to continue to gamble because I don't want him to lose all I did, he just had a baby and I want to help support him before it's to late, if it's not already..
