My Sister made a confession this Easter weekend to our family
Over the last 2 years she ended up getting hooked on online gambling websites and ended up gambling 45000.00! Her husband didn't know about it either and it's almost destroying their marriage. She had everyone fooled, we always thought she was so responsible with money because she works hard and full time, no one understands how she even found the time to do this?????

All the debt is on credit cards, she would max out 1 and move onto another card. All the cards are in her name, Visa, Master Card, American Express, all maxed out. She had to come clean because she ran out of credit and phone calls from CC companies started calling their house and her husband answered one of the calls.

I can't believe she did this, we're all in shock. wtf

It's probably close to the same and they might have to do that sadly.

Re: My Sister made a confession this Easter weekend to our family
I had the same thing happen to a friend of mine. His wife got hooked on online gambling. She went through all their savings, college funds, retirement money, didn't pay the mortgage, taxes, and car payments. She opened credit cards in his name and maxxed them out. She just sat at home gambling online all day while he was at work. So sad.

Most people gamble to fill an emotional void. most carry a feeling of great sadness or being unloved. talk to her.

She could switch to World of Warcraft, it is only $14.00 per month.

If you are going to be an addict, choose a cheap addiction.

I did talk/listen to her for 2 hours on Friday. She did a lot of crying and said she was ashamed of what she did. She also said she was chasing the losses, that's why she kept going.

Seriously, check on the SSRI, it can cause behavior like this, SSRI is toxic and can cause serotonin syndrom that can kill her.

Sounds like the loser obamabots around here in NC. They'll spend all their money on scratch-off tickets hoping to hit that big one. I was behind a woman who spend 50.00 on cigs and scratch-offs last week.

A lot of folks are right, it is a tax on the poor and the stupid shits don't even know it.

Just be there for her man. She took a positive step in admitting her problem.

Speaking as an addict of many things, I can tell you this, all the shame and anger you or others might feel towards her pales in comparison to the beating she probably gives herself for her mistakes.

Alot of times when I was a heavy drinker the day drinking would be a product of feeling so shitty about the ass I made out of myself the night before.

Hope she gets better.

That sucks a gambling addiction is sometimes more destructive than a drug addiction. Tell her to get to a GA meeting.
