Gambling Problem

What do you do with your money? What happens is not funny. You are broke the day after payday. All the money is pissed away. Obligations are due. Creditors harass you. The checks you write are bad. Your situation is so sad. You go to the pawnshop for a loan. They have nearly everything you own. Jewelry, cameras, rings, watches, and other things, they are sold when you do not pay on time. No one calls this situation sublime. You have degenerated into less than a man. You are stealing, cheating, and lying when you can. Moreover, you deny this is so. What you say is usually “I don’t know”. You do not believe a problem exists. Those who care for you are last on your lists. You have a gambling problem without any doubt. Just look how you act after every seven out.
