hutchies Posted June 25, 2007 Report Share Posted June 25, 2007 I have a guy that drives a truck for us that has a serious gambling problem. He's about 45 years old and we just had a heart to heart about him getting help for his addiction. He is a recovering alcoholic that has been sober for over 10 years. He gambled $1900 this week and lost every dime of it. He was on the road driving for 2 weeks working his butt off and when he got back his check instead of being $2400 was $130. Long story short I ask him if he had ever thought about treatment. He told me he never realized how bad it was til now. It dang near emotionally wrecked me having to sit here and council someone as old as my father watching him weap because he didn't even have money to pay the rent. Please pray for him. He's got a hard row to hoe in front of him. Gonna be alot of struggles. His name is Johnny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hutchies Posted June 26, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2007 He has finally hit bottom. He is attending his first Gambler Anonymous meeting tonight. I know he can beat it if he puts his mind to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
