I am a college graduate. I was a swimsuit model for Carnival Cruise Lines. I was/ a licensed middle school teacher who taught 6 years. None of that mattered to me. I would not let anyone, or anything come between me and my gambling. I broke the law in 5 counties to do what it took to gamble.
I knew I loved gambling that first weekend away to Las Vegas, but I knew I was addicted to gambling by the second trip there. I gambled and won enough money to pay for the entire weekend and all of my bills for that month. Little did I know that my life would change and I would learn the true meaning of hitting rock bottom. My gambling addiction became this messy, entangled love affair that I was right in the middle of.
Welcome to my true gambling addiction story.
