Gambling problem

Post by **Dag son of Dag** » Wed May 28, 2003 7:39 pm

My name is Dag, son of Dag, and I have a problem. I gamble. Whenever I withdraw money from the bank, I just have to stroll into the Casino and buy a Scratchard..and then another..and then yet another..

I`m thinking of creating a support group. Anyone else have this problem?

I grew up in Nevada and am pretty much disenfranchised from the whole gambling thing, which seems to be holding for the WGD bit, too (besides, I currently have more WGDs than I know what do with).

Lucky you. I've limited mine to 4 or 5 every other day.

Can't say as I've played the scratch cards. I guess I'm immune to that form of gambling.

I would have that problem, but I've been dissuaded by the numerous times I have lost.

I have only one ONE TIME of all the times I bought a scratch card.

Now, if I had won a few, I would really have a problem.

Hello, my name is uh, diamond and yes, the scratch cards are important to me. I remember waking up sometimes, and looking for, well, not responses to my posts, or posts from my fellow watch members, but my eyes searching for my WGD's. Did I have any? Did I have 15? DID I HAVE ENOUGH TO SCRATCH A CARD? If not I would post inanely, checking the total after every post-

I can't go on.

The key is to quit while you're ahead. I only go to the casino with 45 WGDs and I usually win. But that's it, once the money is spent I turn around and walk straight out....and bank the winnings.

Quit while you're ahead? What if you're first card says loser?

I know, I know, sounds like a personal problem!

I buy 4 or 5. If I win, I win. If I lose, then I tell the card a good place to put its head.

And that is why I do not use scratch cards in front of people.

I think I'll go buy one right now.

Dromond... you need to pace yourself.....control and willpower....two words you need to familiarise yourself with

I win too often, so my mind tells me to go on.. Oh, the tragedy!

Dromond, you may have to expect to boldly lose you WGDs then and kiss your dreams goodbye.

My 12 step program works! Am card free!!

So far I have yet to even buy one of those cards...perhaps I am immune to this particular temptation.

Yeah, Dromond? So, what's your program?

)
