HI ,
I just admitted I am a compulsive gambler a little
more than a month ago and I do(did) the stock market
gamble.
I don't know when it "turned " on me but it started
with a couple of big "wins" in 1999 and then the
amounts increased to make up for the eventual losses
where
I started to trade my 401k almost on a daily basis
(end of last year) which has substantially larger
money,
and obsessed more frequently about even looking up
stock prices by the hour. So in my "young" in the
program opinion,
if the amounts get bigger and you start to "bet" more
frequent or keep track of "systems" to win, the odds
are you are in a progressive desease.
I am working a 1st step with my 1st sponsor in GA
GOod luck!
