I understand. I have an addictive personally. I bought a scratch off just for fun and won $50. After that, I started buying them everyday. I put a stop to it before it got out of control. I still have a problem with shopping, but I have limited my shopping to thrift stores. I won't play bingo because I feel I would get out of control. Over the years I have had to monitor myself. Knowing I have an addictive personality, I take precautions. I also have a few people who help keep me accountable.
