Have you spent your rent money at a casino?  Is your spouse spending of their money on gamblig? They say that betting addiction is just as bad as a drug addiction.

I have known a lot of compulsive gamblers.  I knew a person had a very caring personality and was such a hard worker.    When I met him he had opened a transmission repair shop.  He busted his rear to make his Transmission Repair Shop one of the best in the town.  At one time, his Transmission Repair Shop was doing a little over a million a year… but then he started Gambling. This an illustration of how cruel a gambling addiction can be

At first it was a fun thing.  He had plenty of money and his shop was doing well.   In one weekend, he would spend ten thousand dollars.  His betting became an addiction.  His Gambling addiction grew to the point he was spending several hundred thousand  in a six month span.  He was letting his shop be neglected.  It took about seven years, but eventually his wagering caught up with him.  He stopped paying his taxes.  He stopped paying for advertising.  Every penny he was making was going into a casino.

{End the end, he lost his businesses ended up losing everything.  He lost his business}.  He lost his cars.  He lost his nice ranch and his wife divorced him.  He had no education and he was and older man.  He ended up working at McDonald’s for minimum wage at the age of 75 when he died.

I am telling you this tale because I don’t want to see you or your families suffer the same consequences.  Casinos do not care about you.  They are just fun outfitted crooks.  The addiction of Gambling is very powerful.  It starts out as fun, but can completely and totally ruin your life as well as everyone that cares about you.

If you or a family member is Addicted to Gambling, please seek professional counseling.  Please do whatever you can to help.
