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

Hello Peggysue!

 

I haven't introduced myself yet to you, nor welcomed you, but better late than never, hehehe.

 

New Zealand is nearer to me than Europe is, so I'm probably in the middle of...errr...nowhere? Hahaha. Well, the truth is, my life has been nowhere too. It has always been here, there and everywhere, and getting nowhere! But who cares! I'm still alive, I'm living my life as I want to, a life far more satisfying than I've ever had in all my years of living, striving and working, despite the fact that I now have practically NOTHING! How's that's for a new life eh? Sometimes, having nothing is better than having lots of things. Those lot of things are usually nothing more problematic things. Does this make your mind go ting, ting? Hahaha.

 

Gambling is a big big sin...so everybody says. Isn't being dishonest, untruthful, uncaring, distrustful, infidel, traitor, bla, bla, bla, just as bad, if not even worse? I've been gambling all my working life, and that's not a short thing, but I've successfully kept this secret from all my family, my siblings, my workmates, my whatever. I've gone through hhell-on-earth, I've been down in the dumps, I've been through just about anything and everything the devil has to give! But I'm still standing! Hehehe.

 

Hmm, sorry for all my blabbering, but regular folks here already know how I can be, how winded I can be too. Some used to say to me, "Afi, you're talking in riddles! I can't understand a word you're saying!" Hahaha. Well, read my posts, read my reviews, read my articles, and you'll probably say the same thing! "Afi, you are so crazy!" Oh geees...am I? :D

Cool feedback - thanks for inputting your thoughts and nice to meet you all :) 

 

Been away for the last few days so my reply here is a little on the late side (Oops)

 

I like the attitude of ValDes and it's one I need to adopt :) and Afi4wins you don't sound half as crazy was what I myself am lol I like the (Blabbering) as you call it :) its good to talk so I don't see it as Blabbering at all :)  and Blondie I like your take on it too :) so all in all it looks like I need to adjust how things are and not let the others in my life pull me down.  Sometimes that is easier said than done.  But it's one I will aim for :)
