I just came back from South Dakota! Our daughter is a travel xray tech and is working there. We went to visit her and before we arrived she told about all the casinos around. Knowing I’m in recovery from gambling she gave me the heads up! With my husband and daughter to help me I never gambled while there! The slot parlor literally was a block away from us! I can say I didn’t gamble and I’m going on my fourth month!!! With help from my family and my friends I’m doing very well!!! I’ve learned a lot from this channel ! It really helps me!!! Thank you Rob! ❤

I paid my cell bill, however, they haven't deducted the amount from my savings account yet. I thought of going and getting the money and gamble with it. I was scrolling and ran across this post at the same exact time of thinking of doing it. I'm glad I didn't follow through.

Sucks to hear that dude hasn’t gambled in over 400 days, and yet he’s still facing legal consequences for his actions. I hope he gets through those charges because it seems like he’s a truly recovered addict, and could help a lot of others with that same addiction.

I’m a high stakes gambler, but after being ahead on slots for the year, I won’t be back to a casino any time soon. As a gambler I have channeled my addiction into investing in the stock market. This has made me a very wealthy man, but has also taught me not to take money for granted, I worked hard to get to where I am. I don’t want to go lose it in some casino. I once saw a young man at a casino decades ago, leaning on a column at Caesar’s Place, just sobbing with his arms folded in front of his eyes. I always think of that moment and vowed never to get to that point. Maybe that memory keeps me in check.

Rob, do you ever protest this gambling scam out on the streets? In some states gambling is NOT LEGAL. It will be tough to make gambling illegal again in some states because of the money involved and the power that the gambling companies and media have

I lost a job because of stealing. Then months later, I robbed that same company for a few thousand to cover my bills. I was on the brink of suicide multiple times. I've learned to gamble and still function. I pay bills first then blow through the rest. It sucks. No savings. No future plans. My fiancee' knows I gamble and I can see it's wearing her down. With that said, I plan on going to Vegas next weekend. Smh...
