I have struggled with alcohol in the past and drugs. I no longer struggle either of those but in the past year, I've found a new way to self medicate. I've played poker for a living many years. So that has never been an issue, just like a 9 to 5. My wife plays the slots and I never would play against the house, I always bragged and boasted that nobody stands a chance against the house. Well, she convinced me to take a seat next to her and try a slot machine. Hitting that dumb little button while you wait for the result that requires not one ounce of skill had me hooked. I did some research and found out gambling releases endorphins. Poker never did, but slots do. Does anyone else share this problem?
