I am at the end of my rope I can't seem to keep control of my gambling problem... I go weeks and spend a few dollars then something happens and I blow 500 bucks in a couple of hours. Tired of throwing my money away like that and tired of disappointing my wife. I was supposed to play golf this morning,,,instead got caught up in gambling and never made it to the course. Anyone out there in the Houston area?

I can give you two answers both the same. A trait of compulsive gamblers is to lie and not to be fully honest. You said yourself in your note; there will be a day when you have to tell your wife of your gambling. She is the stronger person in your marriage; I am shure not with everything, but you will have to ask her to manage the household finances. I am shure you do not like this thought, take care. Rexkz

Hey golfnut,

I am an avid golfer in Dallas and play a lot in Houston also. I too have a gambling problem which i have no control over. If I could just focus all of my gambling energy into my golf game it would be great. Send me a message and maybe we can help each other out. Where do you play in Houston?
