I know a few of you said your FH were into poker, and mine is too. He plays A LOT--online, in person, really whenever and wherever he can. When is it too much? I asked him, and told him I was concerned, but he brushed it aside, saying he doesn't lose money (which is true--he is good, and rarely loses, so for the most part he is definitely making money). Is it OK as a hobby if you aren't losing money, or does it become an addiction? I feel bad even asking him cause I know he could say I spend just as much time on LIW....

I can only speak from experience. I wouldn't want anybody to experience what i went through. I kick myself in the a$$ when i think about that $80,000. Thanks everybody for listening to me, and Thank you Brianne my Eternal Love for being there for me, seeing me get through this, and constantly reminding me how great of a life we have together without having to gamble.

You are gonna make me cry, congratulations to both of you for overcoming this addiction!
