Hi Bettie, just ready your post. I know what you mean about the lonliness. At one point in my life I wanted everyone to just leave me alone, well I learned be careful what you wish for! Through gambling I created that life and now I have shut myself out from friends and social events. It does get very lonely and a day at the casino took care of that. I’m keeping myself busy today but I need to put myself out there and make some new friends so I have something to do. I’m scared of making new friends and making an effort. It is hard and opens up the possibility of rejection but the alternative is not the answer either.
