Most compulsive gamblers are addicted to risk. For me it's a little different. It's more ego driven. I feel like I deserve to win and that the universe owes me. Not sure how to process that yet, but I'm heading down a slippery slope. I went from having a little bit of a gambling problem the last few years to becoming a full-blown compulsive gambler lately. Need to get this under control.

My dad suffered from this and we lost everything. You can totally kick it tho, just like any other vice. Control is hard 💜🤙🏽
The VA has an inpatient clinic for problem gamblers and my shrink wants me to go. It's in fucking Vegas of all places though. I could use a vacation.
Vegas seems like a trigger BUT where else to put those skills to the test. If you make it out of Vegas without gamb, you can make it anywhere
