I wonder how many people here have an adultfriendfinder.com addiction?

kid i went to high school with....who is a police officer...known him and his family for years.....his mother was the director of school lunch programs for a local town( i forget the official title)...but she was in charge of it....did the budgets...did the bills and everything....real good job actually...paid well.....got busted stealing close to 200k over a few years from the program....did about a year in jail for it...was a big story around my parts...has to pay it back over time.....nicest, sweetest, lady...would have never suspected it....and it was by random chance she got caught....she loved to play slots at foxwoods

so grateful...in a way im addicted to gambling i guess...although ive had plenty of spells where i stay away for periods of time(which i guess makes me feel like im not an addict)....but i never gamble more than i can afford to lose and ive never stolen from anyone ...kinda like booze..i love it...but i dont have to have it....all the time....i can go two - three weeks without a drink....i can take a nice break after basketball too.....and if i start getting hammered...i can step back for a few weeks and just watch lines and games without playing em to try and get something out of it

Way too costly for a compulsive gambler. The states, gov't or casinos should help and donate. Once you cross the invisible line there is no way to change back to being a normal gambler again.

ya...same way for alchys....i feel bad for them...cause drinking is so much fun.....but once yer a full blown alchy....i mean can they have just have a couple drinks at an event/ family gathering? after recovery?.....if they are true to recovery they should probably never touch one again......now they went and ruined the fun of drinking because they couldnt be somewhat responsible with it and pick their spots

I would much rather be addicted to gambling than Black/H.. That was the worst ever in my entire life to deal with....
