I became an addictive gambler.
I would eat, sleep and drink gambling, I was thinking about it everyday, wondering when I could gamble again. I would sometimes go to all three casinos in one day, thinking I could make my money back. I have lost thousands of dollars. I became despondent to my family and I didn’t care anymore about my attitude, being paranoid and desperate for money and more money every time. My bets were getting higher every time. I was losing more and more, but felt I could win it back and was getting deeper and deeper in debt. But I couldn’t see it at the time. I was taking Requip and never knew the side affects of this drug. But I needed to take it for my Restless Leg Syndrome. I told the doctor about it and have only recently changed my medication.
