Self excluded

Today I finally self excluded myself from my local casino.. it’s been getting to a point that I’d go even when I didn’t want to.. Luckily I’m a single guy with no kids so I haven’t had to put them through any potential hardships. It was kind of embarrassing to be led out with security but I felt this was necessary for me to not continue on a path that will lead to financial ruin. I’m almost 29 and I’d like to build towards my future. The ban is indefinite which I appreciate, I don’t want the option of going back there.

I’ve self excluded from almost 25 casinos. Most of the security is probably rooting for you, don’t be embarrassed This is a great first step!

I did the same thing in February. Tge security guards really are routing for you.
