I was sitting at the blackjack table distressed and wondering what I was even doing there. Just then, I remembered seeing a sign in the casino that read, "If you have a gambling problem, call 1-800- GAMBLER."
I pulled out my cell phone and made the call.
"Gamblers' Anonymous, how can I help you?"
"I have a gambling problem."
"It is good you called I want to acknowledge you for taking a step in the right direction. Now, let's get a bit more specific about your problem."
"Okay. I have an ace and a six. The dealer is showing a seven. What do I do?"
