One vodka and tonic turns into 5 and next thing I know I am at the casino. I am at the tables in action that is beyond my fucking bankroll. I know it and buy in for the max my ATM card will let me, $1,000.
The SECOND hand I spike a dirty set, 777, and I push all in and get insta call by AK who has a flush draw. Then the obvious happens, a diamond on the turn and my entire stack is fucking gone. He is fucking so excited and does the apology thing as he scoops all my fucking chips into his pile. I am so tilted I walk up to the bar and drain two doubles in a matter of a minute.
The great thing about a casino is how easy they make it for the degen gambler. I mean every fucking billboard advertisement they have there is always that stupid piece of shit GA hotline number at the bottom like they are doing some fucking public service. Yet they have cash windows for degens so that if your ATM blocks you from any withdrawls beyond your daily limit they figure out a way to deduct your card through a purchase.
So I hand the lady my card and she hands me another $1,000. I go back to the table and poof. Nothing is going right. I am getting killed. Another $1,000. Poof. I can't even remember the hands I was so faced. Every fucking card went against me. And the one time I hit quads nobody bet. Nut flush nobody bet. Yet when I spike two pairs my opponent hits a set or flush... I finally went on a mini heater only to lose it all with the ass end of a straight.
Bottom line is I spent money I did not have. I dropped about $7K as I also donated to the roulette wheel and craps table in an attempt to get even. My $1,400 rent check will bounce Tuesday and I think I have swine flu as my neck glands are swollen. I must have looked pretty stupid to passer bys in the casino parking lot asleep in my Navigator. My fucking landlord is going to be in my grill this week, can't wait for that. She is fucking relentless. Last year when I forgot to pay on time she came to my door at 9am asking for the money.
Bottom line is I am severely fucked. I took a major ass fucking last night. It was all due to the drink. I have to keep telling myself it is not my fault. I have a disease called alcoholism and it is not my fault. Maybe I need to give the AA another chance. I have $400 in my checking account which I need to take out so I can live for the next few days.
Sweet fucking life.
