Thanks for doing this. My husband relapsed doing online gambling. He’s back in GA. But the industry is a bloodsucker.

Man, I really hope this is one of those monologue discussions you guys post for everyone to see. This is one of my favorite pieces I've seen on this channel in quite some time.

I know dudes who gambled themselves back to living with their parents and they are still gambling.
