Gambling
14 years ago
I'm currently sitting in my car in the Home Depot parking lot waiting for it to open.
My throat feels raw and I'm trying to hold back the tears.
The money I worked six years to save up is leaving my bank account due to a gambling addiction. I wanted the money to go toward improving my life but instead I am throwing it all away to the slot machines. They've got me... because all I am trying to do is win back the money I lost on the previous visit. But they're not going to let me do that. Ever. I'm never going to get a lucky break.
I am a sick person. I don't know how to stop, either.
Even my sleep pattern is completely off daylight hours because of my gambling. I can't have a functional life anymore.
