	    	&lt;P&gt;나는 도박중독자임을 시인합니다.&amp;nbsp; 오늘 도박을 하지않았습니다.&amp;nbsp; 하나님, 감사합니다.&amp;nbsp; I am a grateful believer Jesus Christ and a recovering compulsive gambler.&amp;nbsp; Living One day at a time, enjoying One moment at a time.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;오늘 멜로디와 말다툼이 있었습니다.&amp;nbsp; 다 좋았다가 한번의 말다툼이 오늘 하루를 다 망친 것같습니다.&amp;nbsp; 가만히 생각을 해보니 원인은 아침부터 시작이 되지않았나 제나름대로 생각을 해봅니다.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 멜로디의 생각과 감정은 다르겠지만....&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 아침 일찍 가족모임의 친구로 부터 전화가 왔습니다.&amp;nbsp; 중독자와 살아오면서 고생했던 이야기, 그리고 지금에 와서 한국으로 다시 돌아가 시부모님 모시고 살아가려하는 중독자이야기,&amp;nbsp; 또 한국으로 돌아가려는 이유가 도박을 시작하기위해서 일지 모른다는 추측...&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 여러가지 이야기가&amp;nbsp; 멜로디로 하여금 과거의 제 도박중독으로&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;오늘의 하루를 날씨로 표현하면, 아침에 잠시 흐릴 것같다가, 낮에 맑게 개서 화창했다가, 밤에 잠시 천둥번개가 치고 가라앉으면서 이쁜 저녁놀을 보이면서 하루가 끝나는 것이였습니다.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 아침에 그런 일이 있은 후, 딸아이와 함께 위핏으로 요가와 다른 게임으로 운동을 하고 딸아이는 친구들과 점심먹고 풋볼을 보고 늦게돌아온다고 하면서 나갔습니다.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 멜로디와 저는 너무나 좋은 날씨에 차타후치강에 다시 산책을 하러 갔습니다.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 어제 많이 불어난 물이 빠져서 깨끗하고 조용한 강물이 소리없이 흐르는 것이 숲을 통해 어디를 가도&amp;nbsp; 잘 보입니다.&amp;nbsp; 나뭇잎이 다 떨어져서 전체 풍경이 다들어와서 봄 여름에 보는 경치와는 확연히 다름니다.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 둘이서 기분이 좋게 산책을 하고 많은 이야기를 나누었습니다.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 정말 좋은 시간이였습니다.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 집에 돌아와서는 저녁으로 멜로디가 막국수를 해주었습니다.&amp;nbsp; 김치가 알타리 김치, 파김치, 배추김치등 맛있는 것이 많아, 막국수가 딱이라고 돌아오는 길에 메뉴를 정했었습니다.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 일품이였습니다.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 너무 많이 먹어 잠이 쏟아집니다.&amp;nbsp; 저는 오래전 부터 배가 부르기만하면 잠이 쏟아지는 증세가 있습니다.&amp;nbsp; 식권증이라고 봅니다.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 이런 상황에서 말다툼이 시작되었습니다.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;멜로디가 막국수를 만드는 동안 저는 블락버스터에가서 Good Will Hunting 영화를 빌려가지고 왔습니다.&amp;nbsp; 오래전부터 함께 보자고 한 영화였습니다.&amp;nbsp; 역기능 가정에서 어린시절 입양부모 밑에서 학대받고 자란 21살&amp;nbsp;'윌.헌팅'의,&amp;nbsp;자신을 보호하는 방법과 대인관계가 분노로 얽힌 삶을 보여줍니다.&amp;nbsp; 그래서 천재적인 수학능력이 있는데도 MIT 대학에서 청소부일을 하고 있고, 교수가 풀지못하는 숙제를 간단히 풀어제끼면선 이야기가 시작됩니다.&amp;nbsp; 그리고 그 교수의 친구 숀.맥과이어 정신상담가를 만나 자신의 내면의 분노와 문제들을 찾아 치료해 나간다는 이야기입니다.&amp;nbsp; 숀.맥과이어도 윌.헌팅과 마찬가지로 어린시절 학대받고 자란 경험을 가지고 있었습니다.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;도박중독자와 가족분들에게 꼭 추천할만한 영화라 다시보고 감상해 보았습니다.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 영화를 보고 멜로디와 많은 얘기를 하였습니다.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;말다툼은 제가 영화 볼 준비를 끝내놓고, 멜로디에게 설겆이는 조금있다가 하겠다는 것이 화근이 되었습니다.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 지금 빨리하라는 것이고, 저는 아직 디쉬워셔에 아직 젖은 그릇들이 있어서 좀 있다가 접시들이 마른 다음 찬장에 집어넣고 한다는 것이였습니다.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 결국 멜로디가 화가 나버렸습니다.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 어제 저녁도 설겆이 한다고 해놓고 아침에 보니 안되어있어 자기가 하지 않았냐?&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 이번도 공수표지 않냐?&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;....&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 제 생각에는 그동안 설것이를 잘한 것 같은데 왜 그러는 지, 참....&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 여하튼 이런저런 것들이 생각이 달랐습니다.&amp;nbsp; 처음이 달랐고,&amp;nbsp; 이유가 달랐습니다....&amp;nbsp; 저는 나중에 한다는 것을 강조했고, 멜로디는 지금 왜 안하느냐, 하기 싫으냐... 그러다가&amp;nbsp; 멜로디는 화를 크게 터트렸고,&amp;nbsp; 저는 놀라서 늦었지만, 당장 설겆이를 시작했습니다.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 그리고 속으로는 분노가 치밀었습니다.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 감정을 자제하고 조용히 설것이를 하고 보았더니 멜로디는 준비한 영화도 보지않고 잠자리에 들었습니다. &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;저도 속으로 가시지않은 분노를 억제하면서, 많은 생각을 했습니다.&amp;nbsp; 보기 싫으면 그냥 자게 나두자... 아니 오늘 그냥 두면, 지금부터 분노로 잠을 못자 밤을 지세고 며칠을 갈텐데.... 여러가지 생각 속에 저도 모르게 안방으로 향했고, 누워있는 멜로디에게 무조건 그리고 아주 다정하게 진심으로, 내가 잘못했다고 용서를 빌었습니다.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 이 순간은 꼭 제가 한 것이 아닌 것 같았습니다.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 조금전 까지 저도 화가 치밀어 어떻게 할지 모르고 있었는데,&amp;nbsp; 갑자기 용서를 구해야겠다고 생각이 들면서 마음이 진정이 되는 것은 은혜였다고 생각이 듭니다.&amp;nbsp; 그 이유는 제가 불을 키고 용서를 구하자 어두운 방에서 눈을 뜨고 생각하고 있던 멜로디가, 바로 그 순간 언제 그랬냐는 듯이 아주 밝은 표정으로 내려가서 함께 영화를 보자고 합니다.&amp;nbsp; 그래서 조금전 일은 일체 삼갔습니다.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 아마 멜로디도, 조금한 일로 일이 커진 것에 대해.... 모르겠습니다.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 어떤 생각인지... 제가 느낀 점만을 적는 것이니....&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 함께 그렇게 오래 살면서도, 모르는 것이 사람의 마음인 것같습니다.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;여하튼 마음이 풀어짐에 얼마나 감사한지 모르겠습니다.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;그 이후에 함께 영화를 보고 잠자리에 들었습니다.&amp;nbsp; 그리고 왠지 무섭다고 오늘은 저하고 함께 자자고 합니다.&amp;nbsp; 그래서 한동안 안아주면서 잠을 청했습니다.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 멜로디가 암치료를 받기 시작한 이후로는 각방을 쓰기 시작했습니다.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 멜로디가 이제는 누가 옆에 있으면 잠을 못잡니다.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;오늘 하루도 함께 해주시고 돌보아주신 하나님께 감사를 드립니다.&amp;nbsp; 무엇보다 편안히 잠을 잘수 있게 해주신 것에 대해 감사를 드립니다.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 알게 모르게 지은 많은 죄와 나쁜 생각.행동들을 용서하시고, 늘 하나님의 시각과 마음을 잃지 않도록 축복하여 주시옵소서.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 임재와 동행이 없이는 불안하고 힘든 삶임을 실감합니다.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 하나님의 은혜를 구합니다.&amp;nbsp; 제가 할 수있는 것이 아무 것도 없음을 또 다시 실감합니다.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 성령님의 인도하심과 은혜만을 구합니다.&amp;nbsp; 겸손한 마음으로 겸허한 삶을 살아갈 수 있도록 인도하여 주시옵소서.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 하나님 앞에 모든 것을 내려놓을 때에 마음이 편함을 느낍니다.&amp;nbsp; 그리고 하나님께서 모든 것을 보살펴 주시고 해주신다는 믿음이 저를 편하게 해줌니다.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 믿을 수 있는 마음을 주심에 감사드립니다.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 매일 회개와 감사로 하나님께 더 가까이 나아가는 삶을 허락하여 주시옵소서.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;협심자님들과 가족분들을 위해 기도드립니다....&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;참 백목사님께서 전화를 주셨습니다.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; C.A.R.E Addiction Recovery and Prevention Center 이름으로 회사설립 허가가 11월24일자로 나왔다고 연락을 주셨습니다.&amp;nbsp; 감사합니다.&amp;nbsp; 이제 비영리단체 등록을 하기 시작해야 되겠습니다.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 목사님께서 수고가 많으셨습니다.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 다시 감사드립니다.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;예수님의 이름으로 기도드립니다.&amp;nbsp; 아멘.&lt;/P&gt;

	    	&lt;P&gt;나는 도박중독자임을 시인합니다.&amp;nbsp; 오늘 도박을 하지않았습니다.&amp;nbsp; 하나님, 감사합니다.&amp;nbsp; Living One day at a time, enjoying One moment at a time.&amp;nbsp; I am a grateful believer of Jesus Christ and in recovery from gambling addiction.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;아침에 일어나자 딸아이와 HW이가 위핏게임을 놀고 있는 것을 보았습니다.&amp;nbsp; 놀면 놀수록 운동하는 효과가 있어 좋은 것같습니다.&amp;nbsp; 멜로디가 어제 먹은 우거지 국에 밥을 말아 주었습니다.&amp;nbsp; 아침을 먹고 차고에 있는 루 (친구 애완견)을 데리고 집앞을 산책했습니다.&amp;nbsp; 기분이 좋은지 힘차게 달리는 바람에 끌려다녔습니다.&amp;nbsp; 덕분에 좋은 날씨에 뜀박질을 하고나니 기분이 좋습니다.&amp;nbsp; 그런데 어느 집 잔디에 푸를 해서 루를 집에다 갔다놓고 그자리에 가서 휴지에 집어넣으려고 한참을 찾았는데 찾을 수가 없었습니다.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 미안한 마음을 가지고 그냥 집으로 돌아왔습니다.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 집에오자 멜로디가 친구 HW엄마와 차타후치강으로 산책을 가자고해서 루를 데리고 갔다가 왔습니다.&amp;nbsp; 루를 리쉬에 묶어서 다니는데 남자인 내가 끌고다녀야 되기에 그리했는데 어찌나 힘이 센지 산책을 갔다오고 나니 오른 쪽 팔이 아픕니다.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;너무나 좋은 날씨에 기분 좋은 산책을 하였습니다.&amp;nbsp; 운동이 필요한데 좋은 시간을 가졌습니다.&amp;nbsp; 루를 끌고 다니는 동안 많은 생각을 했습니다.&amp;nbsp; 하나님과의 관계에 대해서...&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 꼭 제가 하나님이 묶어놓은 리쉬가 있는데 제멋대로&amp;nbsp; 돌아다녔다는 느낌이 들었습니다.&amp;nbsp; 도박중독에 빠져 아무데고 빠져들어갈 때 끌어당겨 주신 것도 그 리쉬가 아닌가 생각이 들었습니다.&amp;nbsp; 요한복음 15:5 이 생각났습니다.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 나는 포도나무요 너는 가지니...&amp;nbsp; 살기 위해서, 열매을 맺기위해서 나무에 붙어있는 가지가 되어야됨을 느낍니다.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 산책을 하면서 많은 묵상이 되는 시간들이였습니다.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 이런 시간을 가질 수 있음에 감사드립니다.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;딸아이는 남자친구와 HW 이와 함께 파쓰리 나인홀을 치고 돌아왔습니다.&amp;nbsp; 남자친구와 진짜 연인으로 사귈 수있는지 테스트해 보라고 말했습니다.&amp;nbsp; 엊그제 남자친구에 대해서 얘기를 해주었습니다.&amp;nbsp; 남자친구가 연인으로 사귀고 싶다고 오래전부터 얘기했는데, 자기는 그런 감정이 들지않아 그냥 친구로 지내고 있답니다.&amp;nbsp; 그래서 이번 쌩스기빙때문에 애틀랜타에 있는 동안 남자친구와 시간을 많이 보내보고 뉴욕에 돌아가서 느낌을 정리해 보라고 했습니다.&amp;nbsp; 열심히 노력하는 것이 보입니다.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;하나님께서 인도해 주심을 기도드립니다.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;저녁늦게 친구들이 샬롯트로 돌아갔습니다.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 함께 할 수 있었던 시간들에 감사드립니다.&amp;nbsp; 건강하시고 행복한 삶을 믿음 위에서 취하시기를 기도드립니다.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;오늘은 휴식을 취하는 날이라는 생각이 듭니다.&amp;nbsp; 다음 주에 있을 일들이 약간 걱정이 됩니다.&amp;nbsp; 출장을 가게될 지?&amp;nbsp; 아니면 트레닝을 갈지?&amp;nbsp; 하나님의 인도하심을 구합니다.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 멜로디가 말했던 말이 기억납니다.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 우리는 그저 &quot;닥치는대로 열심히 살자&quot;.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 우리가 아무리 계획해도 생각대로 되지않는 것이 세상사인 것같습니다.&amp;nbsp; 우리는 닥치는대로 열심히 살뿐, 은혜를 구합니다.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;아버님께 안부전화를 드렸습니다.&amp;nbsp; 수술후 경과가 좋으신 것같습니다.&amp;nbsp; 기분이 좋은 것같아 기쁩니다.&amp;nbsp; 어머님도 잘지내시고 계십니다.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 아버님께서 주님을 영접하시고 영생을 구원하시는 축복을 구하시기를 간절히 기도드립니다.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;오늘 하루도 알게 모르게 지은 많은 죄를 용서하시고 나쁜 생각과 행동을 용서해 주시기를 기도드립니다.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 겸손하게 지켜주시고 모든 것을 내려놓고 하나님의 은혜로 살기를 구합니다.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 오늘 하루의 단도박과 오늘 하루의 모든 일상의 기적에 감사와 찬양을 드립니다.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 예수님의 이름으로 기도드립니다.&amp;nbsp; 아멘.&lt;/P&gt;

	    	&lt;P&gt;안녕하세요.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;모든 문제성 도박을 하셨던 분과 가족들의 바램은 다른사람들과는 다르다는 생각입니다.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;그러나 도박병의 진행과정은 유사하다고 보고 듣고 있습니다.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;도박의 종류가 다양하기 때문에 어떤분은 경마 어떤분은 고수돕, 토도, 인터넷 카지노 등등&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;도박은 유무식도 가방끈의 길고 짧은것도, 있고 없고도 따지지 않습니다.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;한나의 질환이기에 누구나 걸릴수 있습니다. &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;그러나 도박을 하는 자신이 아니고 다른사람이 자신과 같은 행동을 했을때 어떻게 생각할까?&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;팔이 안으로 굽는 이치에서 벗어나 생각한다면 명쾌하리라 생각합니다.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;혼자서 힘들어 하지 마시고 오늘도 내일도 모임은 있으니 모임의 협심자와 나누십시오.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;예외는 없는것 같습니다. &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;이 모임을 미국에서 들여오신 분은 신부님이셨습니다. 중독자 신부님 &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;어떻게 받아들이고 어떻게 치유를 위해서 자신을 돕느냐가 치료의 질음길인것 같습니다.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;나는 남과 다르다는 생각은 참으로 위혐하다고 생각합니다.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;병적인 증상을 감추고 숨기는 것은 한계가 있는듯 합니다.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;도박병 착한 사람이 걸린다고 합니다.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;법이 없어도 살것같은 이미지 뒤에 숨어 있는 가족들과 자신만을 파멸의 길로 가지요.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;우리집에서 일어나는 일은 그 누구도 모르게 하는 습성&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;병이 아니라면 그 누구도 이해할 수도 이해받을 수 없는 질환입니다.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;모임에 의탁하고 함께 할 수 있는 길만이 자신을 돕는 최선읠 길이라 생각이 되네요.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;혼자서 힘들어 하지 마십시오. &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;함께 해줄 많은 협심자들이 있습니다.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;힘내세요. 화이팅!!!&lt;/P&gt;

	    	&lt;P&gt;나는 도박중독자임을 시인합니다.&amp;nbsp; 오늘 하루 도박을 하지않았습니다.&amp;nbsp; 하나님, 감사합니다.&amp;nbsp; Living One day at a time, enjoying One moment at a time.&amp;nbsp; I am a grateful believer of Jesus Christ and in recovery from gambling addiction.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;아침부터 오늘 저녁 쌩스기빙 만찬을 준비하기 위해 바쁘게 보냈습니다.&amp;nbsp; 집안 청소부터 시작해서, 손님 맞을 준비를 하였습니다.&amp;nbsp; 딸아이 퀸사이즈 매트리스를 게스트룸 것과 바꾸었습니다.&amp;nbsp; 그리고 안쓰는 것은 딸아이가 크레그리스트에 올렸습니다.&amp;nbsp; 필요한 사람이 가져가시도록...&amp;nbsp; 제가 한 일은 터어키를 뒤집어 가면서&amp;nbsp;버터를 바르는 것입니다. 그리고 다 된 다음에 먹을 수 있도록 썰어놓는 것입니다.&amp;nbsp; 그리고 오늘은 사돈댁이 알려준 스테이크요리도 함께 하였습니다.&amp;nbsp; 좀 실패를 하긴했습니다.&amp;nbsp; 소금을 적게 넣어 간이 덜된 것같기도 하고... 오븐이 뭔지 타는 것같아서 일찍 빼내는 바람에 맛이 옛날에 한번 하였던 맛이 나지않았습니다.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 다음 셀모임에서 다시 트라이 해보려고합니다.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;점심시간이 되어 샬롯트에서 멜로디 친구가 아들과 큰 애완견과 함께 왔습니다.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 개는 덱에 묵어놓았다가 날씨가 쌀쌀해져서 차고로 옮겼습니다.&amp;nbsp; 짓지도 않고 조용히 잘있습니다.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 멜로디가 갈치조림에다 쓰레기국을 끓여서 점심을 맛있게들 먹었습니다. &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;딸아이는 옛날 노쓰캐롤라이나에 함께 살았던 친구를 픽업해가지고 집으로 돌아왔습니다.&amp;nbsp; 저는 제이씨형제님과 수진자매님이 한국을 방문하셔서 두 아들이 혼자집에 있어, 터어키 구운 것과 스테이크, 숙주나물, 딸아기가 만든 디저트 등을 싸가지고 배달해 주고 돌아왔습니다.&amp;nbsp; 나중에 큰 아들이 딸아이에게, 저에게 고맙다고 전화를 주었습니다.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;엇 저녁에, 딸아이가 친구집에서 위~핏이라고 훌라후프등 운동하기에 알맞는 게임을 놀았는데 재미있다고 엄마.아빠가 집에서 운동하면 좋겠다고해서 월마트에 가서 사가지고 돌아왔습니다.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 식사후에 아이들은 게임하다가 헤어졌습니다.&amp;nbsp; 저도 해보았는데 운동이 되기는 많이 됩니다.&amp;nbsp; 그런데 어떻게 활용을 해야될지 고민을 좀해야 되겠습니다.&amp;nbsp; 여러가지 소프트웨어가 있어서 배워야 효과적으로 써먹을 수 있을 것같습니다.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;아이들이 게임을 하다보니 함께 많은 얘기를 나누지 못한 것같아 섭섭한 마음이 듭니다.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 아들커플은 아무래도 신혼이니 둘만 있고 싶어 일찍 일어섰고,&amp;nbsp; 딸아이 친구는 블랙프라이데이 세일 간다고 일찍 일어섰습니다.&amp;nbsp; 그리고 친구를 집에다 데려다주고 돌아온 딸아이는 남자친구와 마지막 영화를 본다고 나갔습니다.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;가족들과 친구들과 함께한 시간들이 무지무지 감사합니다.&amp;nbsp; 서로 사랑을 느끼고 표현하고 나누고 가야됨을 느낍니다.&amp;nbsp; 오랫동안 떨어지고 연락이 없으면 멀어지고 서먹한 것 같습니다.&amp;nbsp; 오랫동안 못 본 딸아이 친구도 오랜만에 처음 보는 순간 울었습니다.&amp;nbsp; 그동안 너무나 많이 변한 서로의 위치와 생활때문에... 멜로디가 암치료를 받았고, 친구의 엄마는 작년에 암으로 돌아가셨습니다.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 슬프고 어려운 일들이지만, 세상은 계속 흘러갑니다.&amp;nbsp; 우리는 한 순간의 존재임을 알려주면서...&amp;nbsp; 존재하는 순간에 함께하는 사람들과 사랑과 정을 나누면서 즐겁고 행복한 시간들을 보내고 싶습니다.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;하나님의 사랑받는 자녀가 되고싶습니다.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 감사합니다.&amp;nbsp; 주시는 모든 축복과 은혜에...&amp;nbsp; 오늘 하루도 알게 모르게 지은 많은 죄와 나쁜 생각, 행동들을 용서하여 주시옵소서.&amp;nbsp; 몸과 마음과 영을 정결하게 지켜주시고&amp;nbsp; 하나님께 바로 설 수있게 인도하여 주시옵소서.&amp;nbsp; 말씀에 순종하고 하나님께 매일 가까이 나아감으로 동행하는 삶을 살 수 있게 축복하여주시옵소서.&amp;nbsp; 모든 것을 내려놓고, 하나님만을 의지하며 살아갑니다.&amp;nbsp; 감사와 찬양을 드립니다.&amp;nbsp; 항상 기뻐하고, 쉬지말고 기도하고, 범사에 감사하겠습니다.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;힘들고 고통 속에 있는 중독자님들과 가족들을 위로해 주시고 축복하여주시옵소서.&amp;nbsp; 회복의 길로 인도하시고&amp;nbsp;중독의 병에서 하루속히 해방될 수 있게 은혜 베풀어주시옵소서.&amp;nbsp; 함께하시는 협심자님들과 가족분들, 그리고 회원님들을 위해 기도드립니다.&amp;nbsp; Happy Thanksgiving!!!&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;예수님의 이름으로 기도드립니다.&amp;nbsp; 아멘.&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;오늘 아침일을 기억해 내려는데 왜 이리 기억이 없는지... 참 답답합니다.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 바로 전일들이 기억이 깜깜할 때가 있습니다.&amp;nbsp; 도박중독으로 머리가 많이 나빠졌는지, 나이가 들면서 그런건지...&amp;nbsp; 여하튼 도박중독으로 인해 몸과 마음이 상했던 것은 확실합니다.&amp;nbsp; 지금도 많은 휴유증이 나타나고 있는 것같습니다.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 높은 콜레스콜에다, 당뇨에다, 관절도 약해지고, 등등...&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 허지만 지금이라도 정신차리고 이것 저것 조심해서 사니 참 다행이라는 생각이 듭니다.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 모든 것이 은혜입니다.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 정말 제가 가진 것과&amp;nbsp; 스스로 할 수 있는 것이 아무 것도 없음을 실감합니다.&amp;nbsp; 그저 겸손하게 범사에 감사하면서 매 순간을 항상 기뻐하면서 살려고 노력하고 있습니다.&amp;nbsp; 쉬지않고 일기쓰면서 기도하는 것이 저의 마음과 영과 혼을 성숙시키는 것을 느낍니다.&amp;nbsp; 하나님께 가까이 나아가면서 말씀을 듣고 아뢰는 시간들입니다.&amp;nbsp; 늘 임재를 구하고 동행을 구합니다.&amp;nbsp; 이렇게 조용히 생각할 수 있고, 글을 쓰면서 반성하고 회개할 수 있는 시간들이 얼마나 좋은지 모르겠습니다.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 제가 누구인지 어떻게 살아야되는지 무엇을 해야되는지 생각을 거듭하면서 마음에 새기면서 살아갑니다.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;감사합니다...&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;아침에 인쇄소에다 단도박모임 콤보북과 12단계 회복프로그램을 애틀랜타 단도박버젼과 샌호제 버젼으로 해달라고 부탁드렸습니다.&amp;nbsp; 다음주 화요일경에 도착할 것같답니다.&amp;nbsp; 도착하는대로 타주에 계신 협심자님들에게 부쳐드려야겠습니다.&amp;nbsp; 아직 비용은 정확히 말해주지않아 모르겠습니다.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;낮에 걱정될 일이 생겼었습니다.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 마이크로센터라고 컴퓨터파는 곳에서 컴퓨터를 사서 고맙다고 서베이 폼에 필아웃해달라고 편지가 왔습니다.&amp;nbsp; 저는 산적이 없어 누가 내 이름과 카드를 도용했나 걱정이 되서 가게 매니저하고 얘기하고, 은행도 체크해 보았습니다.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 매니저 얘기로는 비슷한 이름이 많아 계산할 때 제 이름을 잘못 픽업되어 그런 것같다는 해명이였습니다.&amp;nbsp; 다행히 은행과 카드도 아무 이상이 없었습니다.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 요즘 아이덴티티 쎄프트와 프로드가 많아서, 저도 그런 것이 아닌지 걱정을 많이 했었습니다.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 가게의 간단한 실수가&amp;nbsp; 한 사람의 마음을 걱정으로 꽉 차게 만든 하루였습니다.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 서베이 폼에 일어났던 일들을 적어보내려합니다.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;멜로디가 1시경에 일찍 퇴근하고 돌아왔습니다.&amp;nbsp; 내일 쌩스기빙을 위해 오늘 할 것들이 많습니다.&amp;nbsp; 오자마자 어제 할 일 적어놓은 것들을 끝마치자고 합니다.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 그래서 밖에 나가서 사다놓은 팬지를 앞 뜰에 심었습니다.&amp;nbsp; 오랜만에 따스한 햇살을 받으며 꽃을 심으니 기분이 참 좋았습니다.&amp;nbsp; 그런 생각을 하고 있는 중에 멜로디가 나와 똑같은 기분을 물어봅니다.&amp;nbsp; 덕분에 고맙다고했습니다.&amp;nbsp; 마누라 말들으면 손해볼 것이 전혀없다고 합니다.&amp;nbsp; 덕이되면 됐지...&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;그런다음 이층 손님방 목욕탕에 샤워기를 새것으로 바꾸어 끼었습니다.&amp;nbsp; 오래전에 사놓고 있었는데 미루고 미루다 내일 손님이 오셔서 오늘 갈았습니다.&amp;nbsp; 새로 산 오븐도 터어키를 굽기위해 온도를 올려 테스트를 했습니다.&amp;nbsp; 처음 쓰는 것이라 케미컬 냄새가 나서 몇번이고 테스트를 하고 쓰랍니다.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;4시경에는 이모님댁에 쌩스기빙 명절이라 인사드리고 찾아뵙고 돌아왔습니다.&amp;nbsp; 어머님하고 친하게 지내신 친구분이라 저희들이 이모님.이모부님이라고 부르고있습니다.&amp;nbsp; 오래전에 백혈병으로 돌아가게되셨는데 에모리병원에서 클리니컬 츄라이얼 약을 드시고 회복이 되셨습니다.&amp;nbsp; 여든이 넘게 연로하셔서 약으로 이겨내시고 계십니다.&amp;nbsp; 주사를 너무 맞고 아프셔서 힘이 드실때는 빨리 돌아가시고 싶으시답니다.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 어른들을 보고있으면 가슴이 아픕니다.&amp;nbsp; 그리고 저의 삶을 깨닫게 됩니다.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 이모님과 이모부님께 과일을 사드리고 용돈을 드리고 돌아왔습니다.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 저희들을 위해서 계속 기도드리고 계시답니다.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 두분의 건강과 평안을 위해 기도드립니다.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 잘 이겨내시고 믿음으로 평안한 마음을 가지고 은혜 속에서 기뻐하실 수 있기를 간절히 기도드립니다.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;돌아오는 길에 애플비에 들려 저녁을 먹고 남대문에 가서 숙주나물을 사가지고 돌아왔습니다.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;하루의 일과가 끝났습니다.&amp;nbsp; 하나님께 감사들 드립니다.&amp;nbsp; 알게 모르게 지은 많은 죄와 나쁜 생각과 행동들을 용서하여주시옵소서.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 말씀을 묵상하고 순종하며 하나님께 가까이 나가는 삶을 살 수있게 인도하여주시옵소서.&amp;nbsp; 임재를 구합니다.&amp;nbsp; 성령님의 인도하심으로 매사에 기도함으로 결정할 수 있게 도와주시옵소서.&amp;nbsp; 늘 동행하는 삶을 원합니다.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;추수감사절을 맞아 아직도 거리에서 도박장에서 방황하고 절망하는 중독자들을 위해 기도드립니다.&amp;nbsp; 불쌍한 심령들을 긍휼이 여기시고 은혜와 자비를 베푸사, 이제 중독에서 나와 회복되어 갈 수있는 축복을 허락하여주시옵소서.&amp;nbsp; 가족분들을 위로해 주시고 용기와 힘을 주시옵소서.&amp;nbsp; 매사 결정하기 어려운 일들이 많이 있습니다.&amp;nbsp; 지혜와 총명함을 주시고 현명하게 해결해 나갈 수 있게 인도하여 주시옵소서.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 하나님을 경외하는 것이 지식의 근본임을 깨닫게 축복하시옵소서.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 지속적인 회복으로 정상적이고 행복한 가정을 다시 찾으시기를 간절히 기도드립니다.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;친구의 아내 MJ씨의 건강이 많이 회복되시고 12월부터 받는 동위원소치료에 준비가 될 수있기를 기도드립니다.&amp;nbsp; 효과적인 치료로 모든 암도 치유되고 건강하게 회복되셔서&amp;nbsp;하나님께서 주신 많은 일들을 감당할 수 있게 축복하여주시옵소서.&amp;nbsp; 조만간 전화를 한번 드려보아야 되겠습니다.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;이 명절에 힘들게 지내실 앨렉스 형제님을 위해 기도드립니다.&amp;nbsp; 직장 일도 생기고 살아갈 수 있는 희망이 보이기를 간절히 기도드립니다.&amp;nbsp; 아무리 어렵더라도 믿음위에서 주님과 함께 하기를 기도드립니다.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 합하여 선을 이루시는 하나님께서 주시리라고 믿습니다.&amp;nbsp; 꼭 이겨내시기를 기도드립니다.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;스티브형제님을 위해 기도드립니다.&amp;nbsp; 오랫동안 연락이 되질 않았습니다.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 부디, 모든 것을 내려놓고 무력함을 시인하고 회복의 모임에 동참하시기를 간절히 기도드립니다.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 아무 탈없이 건강하게 지내시기를 바랍니다.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 중독이 병이라는 것을 아시고&amp;nbsp;병에 끌려다니시지 마시고, 하루속히 치료를 받으시면서 회복되어 가시기를 간절히 기도드립니다.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 마음과 영혼의 문을 열어주시기를 기도드립니다.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;모든 은혜와 범사에 감사와 찬양을 드리며, 예수님의 이름으로 간절히 기도드립니다.&amp;nbsp; 아멘.&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;TABLE style=&quot;TABLE-LAYOUT: fixed&quot; border=0 cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 width=&quot;100%&quot;&gt;
&lt;TBODY&gt;
&lt;TR&gt;
&lt;TD class=list_han vAlign=top&gt;
&lt;P&gt;2005년 12월18일 오후7시40분 약속 장소인 성당입구를 서성이고 있었다 &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;나의 생애중 가장 추운날 이라고 기억 된다 &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;중년의 사내가 닥아왔다 전화하신분? 녜&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;이쪽 으로 오시죠 잔뜩 긴장된 얼굴로 입구에 들어섰다 &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;마리아님의 평온한 표정을 보는순간 편안함을 느겼다 &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;신자는 아니지만&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;아 ! 종교란 이런것 이구나 하는 것을 난생 처음 느끼는 순간 이었다 &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;안내된 방으로 들어서자 반갑습니다 하면서 약간의 남자들이 인사를 하면서 악수를 청했다 &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;한결같이 약간의 자신감은 보이면서도 왠지 잘못을 저지러고 교무실에 불려온 학생 처럼 뜻뜻하지 못한 감정이 나를 지배 했다 &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;온갓 경험과 일을&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;격어본 나도 긴장 되는 순간 이엇다 &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;단도박모임 과연무엇일까 ? &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;언론을 통해 모임의 실체를 처음접한것은 20년전이지만 망가질때로 망가진 마음과 몸을 가지고 혹시 아니 어떤 묘안이 있을까....&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;어떡하든 나의인생을 정상으로 돌려보자하는 심정으로 찿아왔다 &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;세상살이에 누구보다 자신만만한 나에게 20가지 질문서 를 내미는 순간 아...내가 바보였구나 하는 생각이 뇌리를 스치면서 지나갔다 &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;아무것도 모르는 나에게는 주변 동료 들이 신기해보였다&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;나만 피해자가 아니고 이렇게 많은 사람들이&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;피해를 보고 살아 가는구나 하니 &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;약간 안도감과 함께 나는 저사람들과&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;비교하면 나은편이다 하는 안도감을 느꼈다&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;그러나 그것도 잠시 비밀주머니를&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;돌리면서 사회자가 말했다 &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;혹 차비가 없어신 분은 꺼내쓰시고 다음에 채워넣어주세요 라는 멘트를 했다 &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;세상살이에 잘난 마음만 가지고 오만함과 위선으로 살아온 나에게는 충격적 이었다 &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;물론 도박은 해서는 안되는 행위임은 틀림없다 &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;그러나 이것으로 인하여 이런 감동과 기쁨을 느꼈으니 얼마나 좋은일 일까 하고 오히려 도박행위를 고맙게생각?&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;그건 지나치지만 아뭍은 잋지 못할 감동 의순간 이었다 &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;이후로 열심이 모임을 다니고 있다 &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;지금은 나자신이 정상 으로 돌아왔다고 생각하지만 &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;도박의 휴유증이 이렇게 큰것 이라는것을 새삼 느끼고 있다 &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;상처가 너무깊다는 사실이다 &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;경제적인 문제는 말할것도&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;없고 가족의 상처&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;주변의 시선등&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;내가 알지 못했던 사실들이 맑은정신 으로 바라보니 &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;내가 과연 저길을 어떻게 지나 왔을 까하고 나 자신이 깜짝놀라고 한다 &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;지금 이순간에도 도박에 접할기회와 조건들 이&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;만들어지고도 있다 &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;그러나 이제는 유혹에서 벗어날수 있는 기술이 어느정도는 습득 되었다고 생각하고싶다 &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;그러나 나의 운명은 알수 없는것 일순간 또 다시 유혹에 빠지지 말라는 법은 절대로 없다 &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;인류가 존제하는 한 세상이 없어지지 않는한&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 도박 이란 용어는 사라지지 않을것이다 &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;인간의 교할함은 더욱더 재미있는 놀이로 개발 진화될것이다 &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;하지만 최소한 도박으로 인해 피해와 고통과 괴로 움을 격은 우리 단도박모임협심자는 &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;두번 다시 실수해서는 안된다는것 을 알고 있지 않는가 &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;부디 갱생의길을 찿아&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;솔개의선택 처럼 &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;우리의 낡은부리와 발톱과 깃털을 다 뽑아버리고 &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;환골탈퇴 하여 새로운 부리와 발톱과 깃털을 가지고 &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;세상을 호령하면서 정의로운삶을 살아야 한다고 생각한다 &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;우리가 새로운 삶을 살아가면 &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;자식들은 절대 도박이란 수렁으로 가지 않을것 이라는 확신을 가지면서.....&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;오랜 세월동안 모임을 가꾸고 이끌어 오신 선배님들께 진심으로 감사드립니다 &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;복많이받으십시요&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;&lt;/TR&gt;&lt;/TBODY&gt;&lt;/TABLE&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

	    	&lt;P&gt;항상 길을가다가보면 은행 야간 금고를 볼때마다 회한의 한숨이 나온다 .&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;BR&gt;그 지난 수많은 날들을 도박하느라 항상 현금써비스,현금인출...세월이 지난지금도 그곳을 지날때마다 특히 밤에는 옛생각이나 한번도 그냥 지나치는 법이 없었다. 이제 그런일 없어서 다행이다라고 안도의 한숨이 나온다 어김없이 은행 24시 코너를 지날때마다...&lt;BR&gt;지금은 단도박한지 4년인지 5년인지 잘기억이 않난다. 그렇치만 지금도 호텔카지노 광고를 보면 뭐라고할가 그곳에 가면 뭔가 좋을것 같다는 느낌이 아직도 있다 .언제 어느때 또다시 시작될수 도 있다고 항상 걱정을한다 그렇게되면 모든게 끝장나겠지만 ...&lt;BR&gt;아직도 도박을 수십년을 해와서그런지 돈에대한 관념이 별로 없는것 같다.통장에 있는돈도 그냥 숫자로만 보인다 물론 돈을 생각없이 쓰지는않지만 돈에대해서 악착스런마음도없다. 도박하는돈은 돈이아니다 돈의 가치도없다 단지 그냥도박을하는것같다&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;돈을 따려고 ,잃은돈을 복구하려고 도박을하지만 결국은 핑게일뿐 단지 도박을하는 구실에 불과한거 같다.많은 돈을 도박판에서 딴다고 그 돈을 그대로 가지고 있거나 사용하는게 아니고 그돈으로 다시도박을한다 .결국은 빈털털이로 자살을 하고 싶은 마음만 들게한다. 도박을 지금은 않하지만 나도 알게모르게 살면서 생활방식이랄까,사업스타일이랄까 그영향을 많이 받는것 같다.&lt;BR&gt;그 대표적인것이 돈에 대한관념인것 같다.아직도 도박을하면 큰돈을 벌수가 있다고 생각하는건지 나도 잘모르겠다.&lt;BR&gt;이제 다시 단도박회에 나가야할시기가 온거 같다. 단도박회나가서 도박을끊었다 벌써 사오년지났으니 다시 정신 무장을 할필요가 있을것 같다.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;BR&gt;단도박 사이트도 매우 유용한것 같다 최소한 이걸 보고있으면 옛생각이나 도박을 하면 않되겠다고 다시 결심을 하게된다.&lt;BR&gt;사람은 망각의 동물인것이 좀 다행이다 집사람이 그전에 나때문에 격었던 일 계속 생각하고 있으면 날 매일 죽이고 싶은마음이 들것이다.&lt;BR&gt;도박! 도데체 단도박한지 몇년이 지났는데 아직도 호텔카지노 광고를보면 그곳에 가면 좋을것 같다고 생각이나는지 이유를 잘모르겠다.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;BR&gt;이거 평생을 가지고가는 큰병인거 같다.살다보면 어쪄다 한두번&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;실수하는일이 있는데 반성하고 그리고 넘어가면 되는데 이건 단한번이라도 실수하면 다시는 회복할수 없는 죽을병으로 발전을하는것이다 나만죽으면 그만인데 가족까지 마음의 병이 들게만든다&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;돈때문에 비참하게 만들고 아이들한테도 가슴에 피멍이 들게하고 돈없어서 먹고싶은거 제대로 못사먹고 남들 다니는학원 조차 못가고 이건 너무나 상상할수 없을정도로 삶자체가 비참하게 만드는것이다.나와 가족 모두에게 ...&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;BR&gt;도데체 큰병도 이런큰병은 없는것 같다. 치유도 불가능하고 나이에 상관없이 칠십이되건 팔십이되건 단도박 십년을 넘게해도 한번시작되면 말장 꽝이되여버리는 도데체가 불치병같다.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;BR&gt;지금 나도 이런글을 쓰지만 나자신을 장담할수가없으니 참으로 슬프고 몹시화가나는 일이다.&lt;BR&gt;나중에도 애들도 그럴까봐 몹시 걱정도 된다.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;BR&gt;단도박한날이 5월22일인것만 기억하고 단도박 햇수가 사년인지 오년인지 기억은 잘 않나지만 살면서 단도박하고 나서부터가 내인생에서 가장 행복한나날&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;같다.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;

	    	&lt;P&gt;나는 도박중독자임을 시인합니다.&amp;nbsp; 오늘 하루 도박을 하지않았습니다.&amp;nbsp; 하나님, 감사합니다.&amp;nbsp; Living One day at a time, enjoying One moment at a time.&amp;nbsp; I am a grateful believer of Jesus Christ and in recovery from gambling addiction.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;아침에는 지난 여행경비를 작성하여 제출하고 지난 세미나 후원해 주신 분들께 감사 카드를 보내드렸습니다.&amp;nbsp; 너무 늦은 감이 있습니다.&amp;nbsp; 일찍 보냈어야했는데 다른 일들로 미루다 늦어졌습니다.&amp;nbsp; 낮에 딸아이는 아빠 점심으로 샐러드를 준비해 놓고 마음 카페에 가서 친구들과 만나 함께 있으면서 일한다고 나갔습니다.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;멜로디가 5시반경 퇴근하고 돌아오자마자&amp;nbsp; 쌩스기빙 준비를 위해 코스코와 홀푸드와 한아름을 다녀왔습니다.&amp;nbsp; 터어키, 배추, 치이즈, 크랙커, 비프, 배, 양파, 바나나, 파, 홍당무, 물, 등등을 사가지고 돌아왔습니다.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 이제 내일 오후부터 무지 바빠질 것같습니다.&amp;nbsp; 집도 치우고 터어키 준비와 스테이크 준비, 저도 조금씩 거들고 있습니다.&amp;nbsp; 아이들과 친구들이 찾아온다고 해서 많은 사람이 함께 할 것같습니다.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 매년 터어키를 굽고 가족이 함께하다가, 작년에는 멜로디가 암치료 받는다고 힘들어해서 터어키를 안 구었더니, 아이들이 무지 섭섭해 하였습니다.&amp;nbsp; 그래서 멜로디가 크리스마스때 조그만 터어키를 구었었습니다.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 그래서 이번 추수감사절에는 필히 터어키를 구어야된다고 합니다.&amp;nbsp; 그리고 며느리가 우리집에서 처음 맞는 쌩스기빙이라 의미가 있는 것같습니다.&amp;nbsp; 그리고 샬롯트 친구가족이 찾아옵니다.&amp;nbsp; 딸아이 친구도 오고...&amp;nbsp; 함께 좋은 시간을 가질 수 있게 하나님께 기도드립니다.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;딸아이와 함께, 할아버지께 전화를 드렸습니다.&amp;nbsp; 마침 수술이 잘되고 경과가 좋아 퇴원하고 계신답니다.&amp;nbsp; 손녀의 목소리를 듣고 기분좋아하시는 어머님.아버님 목소리가 들려옵니다.&amp;nbsp; 정말 많은 것을 감사해야됨을 느낍니다.&amp;nbsp; 제가 단도박하고 다시 회복되어 갈 수있는 큰 축복에 감사드리고, 온 가족이 모두 하나하나 잘해나가고 있음에 깊이 감사를 드립니다.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 보다 더 하나님을 깊이 알게되고, 믿고 신뢰하면서, 모든 것을 내려놓고 너무나 큰 자유함을 얻었습니다.&amp;nbsp; 또 멜로디가 저의 회복으로 평안해하며 생활하는 모습이 너무나 감사합니다.&amp;nbsp; 조그많게 반복되는 일상의&amp;nbsp;보통 삶이 기적이고 축복이고 행복입니다.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 각자 자기 일들을 잘해주고 있음이 얼마나 큰 축복인지 모르겠습니다.&amp;nbsp; 그리고 아무 걱정없이 주어진 시간들을 이제 다시는 낭비하지않고, 즐겁고 행복하게 보내려고 노력하고 있습니다.&amp;nbsp; 감사와 찬양을 올립니다.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;아버님의 좋은 결과와 회복에 감사드립니다.&amp;nbsp; 입원전에 목사님내외분께서 심방을 오시고 병원에도 오셨다고 합니다.&amp;nbsp; 아버님께 계속 기도드리고 있다고&amp;nbsp;말씀드렸습니다.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 어머님께서도 아버님이 조금씩 마음문을 열고 예수님을 영접하시길 간절히 기도하시고 계십니다.&amp;nbsp; 주님을 만나고 영접하는 은혜를 베풀어 주시기를 간절히 기도드립니다.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;저녁늦게 L.A.에서 데비드형제님께서 전화를 주셨습니다.&amp;nbsp; 오래전에 신문에서 전화번호를 보고 전화를 하신다고 합니다.&amp;nbsp; 젊은 나이에 도박으로 많은 빚을 지었으나,&amp;nbsp; 걱정 반, 회복되고 싶은 마음 반으로 상담을 청하셨습니다.&amp;nbsp; GA way 를 말씀드리고 형제님께서도 공감을 하셨습니다.&amp;nbsp; 오랜 통화후 얘기할 상황이 깨여지면서, 다음에 다시 전화를 주시겠다고 말씀하시고 끊었습니다.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 하나님, 형제님의 마음을 어루만져주시옵소서. &amp;nbsp;회복방법을 알고싶어 전화를 주셨습니다.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;이번 기회에 커밍아웃하셔서 모든 것을 솔직히 고하고 무력함을 시인하며 단도박하실 수 있게 축복하여주시옵소서.&amp;nbsp; 형제님께 정직할 수 있는 용기와 모든 것을 오픈하고 자매님과 상의하고 함께 모임에 나와 치유되실 수 있기를 간절히 기도드립니다.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;감사드리고 감사드립니다.&amp;nbsp; 예수님의 이름으로 기도드립니다.&amp;nbsp; 아멘.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;저의 한스럽고 가슴시린 아픔을 호소한 100일이 생생한 데 1년이네요. &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;BR&gt;어제는 세상에서 제 2의 생의 출발인 25주년 결혼기념일이었습니다. &lt;BR&gt;당연한 행복인줄 알고 시작한 반평생의 함께한 삶!!&lt;BR&gt;정말로 인생의 쓴 맛을 절절하게 걸어온 긴 터널이었습니다. &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;BR&gt;저는 결혼을 통하여 경험하고 싶지 않은 삶의 여러 깊이를 알았습니다. &lt;BR&gt;항상 잔잔한 호수였던 저의 일상이 쓰나미 같은 해일 속에서 이리저리 부딪치면서도 살아난 인동초였습니다. &lt;BR&gt;한쪽&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;삶만이 아닌 고통스러운 사람들과 가난한 자의 슬픔 등을 이해하게 되었고 그들의 아픔을 공감하게 되었습니다. &lt;BR&gt;그리고 삐뚤어지고 우울한 아이들의 내면에 부모의 정신적인 학대에 의해서 길들여진 아픔도 함께할 수 있게 되었습니다. &lt;BR&gt;좀 더 많은 인생의 성숙을 배웠다고나할까요 ...&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;내가 별 생각없이 한껏 누리던 “행복”이 저 높은 까마득한 장대에 &lt;BR&gt;걸려있다는 것을 알게 되었습니다. &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;나는 나의 삶의 주인이 아니었습니다. &lt;BR&gt;나의 마음과 몸의 주인은 따로 있었습니다. &lt;BR&gt;난 헛깨비에 불과한 허울만 있는 허수아비였습니다. &lt;BR&gt;이제 나의 마음과 몸의 주인이 나였으면 좋겠습니다. &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;BR&gt;당당한 내가 그립습니다. &lt;BR&gt;그리고 이젠 부정적인 생각으로 온 몸이 오그라들어 &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;자기 스스로를 병마의 온상으로 만들었던 나를 건강한 나로 새롭게 태어나고 싶습니다. &lt;BR&gt;이 모든 고통은 다 묻어두고 싶습니다. &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;이젠 마음껏 환히~웃을 수 있는 내가 되었으면 좋겠습니다. &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;그리고 GA 가족 여러분&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;많이많이 사랑합니다. &lt;BR&gt;한분 한분의 힘이 이렇게 넘어지면서도 1년 잔치를 할 수 있게 해주시고 살아 갈 수 있게 한 힘의 원동력이 되었습니다.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;BR&gt;감사합니다. &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;BR&gt;우리 함께 높은 장대에 있는 행복을 마음에 담아 꼭 담아요. &lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;&lt;/TR&gt;&lt;/TBODY&gt;&lt;/TABLE&gt;

&lt;BR&gt;
&lt;BR&gt;
얼마나 많은 고뇌와 절망에서&lt;BR&gt;
도박으로 허망하게 보낸 한 생애를&lt;BR&gt;
원한과 분노, 외로움과 굶주림에 &lt;BR&gt;
울부짖고 오열하였을까?&lt;BR&gt;
&lt;BR&gt;
너와 같은 원혼이 생기지 않기 위하여&lt;BR&gt;
도박추방의 날을 맏는 오늘&lt;BR&gt;
우리 함께 모여 네 영혼을 위로하고 있단다.&lt;BR&gt;
&lt;BR&gt;
비통한 삶을 원망하며&lt;BR&gt;
차마 말하지 못한 고뇌를 이기지 못하고&lt;BR&gt;
마지막 길을 택한 너의 아품이&lt;BR&gt;
얼마나 절절했기에&lt;BR&gt;
이승을 버리고 저승을 택하였을까&lt;BR&gt;
&lt;BR&gt;
불쌍하고 가엾은 슬픈 운명의 아들아!&lt;BR&gt;
도박장이 된 사회에 책임을 묻고 싶지만&lt;BR&gt;
누구를 원망하겠는냐?&lt;BR&gt;
저주스런 삶의 기막힌 운명 앞에&lt;BR&gt;
통곡하는 가슴쓰린 사연을 어찌 알까.&lt;BR&gt;
슬픔은 강이 되어 흐르는구나.&lt;BR&gt;
&lt;BR&gt;
도박병을 앓다 간 아들아!&lt;BR&gt;
내 어찌 그 병의 실체를 그토록 몰랐더냐?&lt;BR&gt;
탐욕이 불러온 무서운 유혹의 손길을&lt;BR&gt;
피할 수 없었던 무서운 병마인 것을...&lt;BR&gt;
&lt;BR&gt;
악의 유혹을 이겨내지 못한 네 모습이 애처러워&lt;BR&gt;
한 맺힌 절규로&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;너를 부르며&lt;BR&gt;
너의 &#45332;을 그리며 위로하노라&lt;BR&gt;
&lt;BR&gt;
슬픈 영혼의 아들아!&lt;BR&gt;
부디 천상에서 영원한 복락을 누리고&lt;BR&gt;
편안한 안식을 누리기를 빌고 있다.&lt;BR&gt;
&lt;BR&gt;
오늘도 바다의 이야기로 세상을 떠들석하더니&lt;BR&gt;
이제는 인터넷 도박이 태풍으로 몰려오고 있구나.&lt;BR&gt;
너의 넋을 앗아간 각종 도박은 &lt;BR&gt;
기승을 부리지만&lt;BR&gt;
오늘도 도박추방의 날을 맞는 우리는&lt;BR&gt;
소리 높어 외치노라.&lt;BR&gt;
&lt;BR&gt;
도박으로 피해를 입은 수많은 중독자와 가족들&lt;BR&gt;
너와 같은 희생자가 &lt;BR&gt;
다시는 없기를 소망하며&lt;BR&gt;
우리 사회를 병들게 하는 도박을 몰아내고&lt;BR&gt;
밝고 명랑한 사회, 건전한 사회를 만들기 위해&lt;BR&gt;
우리 모두 힘을 모아 한자리에 모여 외친다.&lt;BR&gt;
&lt;BR&gt;
&quot;도박아! 물러가라. 우리 사회에서 영원히!&quot;&lt;BR&gt;
&quot;도박장을 없애고, 도박을 추방하자.&quot;&lt;BR&gt;
&quot;도박을 몰아내고 새 힘으로 새롭게 살자.&quot;&lt;BR&gt;

&lt;H4 class=header&gt;About this series&lt;/H4&gt;
&lt;P&gt;In the three decades since the psychiatric community recognized compulsive gambling as a mental disorder, it has evolved from a small area of study to a global research effort involving dozens of medical doctors and other specialists who have generated hundreds of studies and hosted as many conferences.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Yet it remains a largely secret affliction, in part because it carries a stigma even here in the birthplace of modern gambling. As a result, sufferers don’t want to discuss the problem or seek help.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Fewer than 10 gambling treatment programs run by state-certified counselors exist in Nevada. The number of nonprofit treatment clinics that waive costs for those who can’t pay &#8212; a common predicament for gambling addicts &#8212; can be counted on one hand. Fewer than 400 people underwent treatment for gambling problems in state-funded counseling programs in the two-year period ending Sept. 30. Though many more seek out self-help groups such as Gamblers Anonymous, it’s believed to be a fraction of the more than 90,000 Nevadans with gambling problems.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Starting with this story, the Las Vegas Sun explores problem gambling three ways &#8212; through the experiences of an addict, by examining what happens inside the brain of an addict, and by considering the role of slot machine designs in feeding gambling addictions.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;!-- /inline-content --&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;!-- /text-inline --&gt;

&lt;P&gt;Experts who study gambling addiction remain a long way from knowing why people develop gambling problems. But researchers now know what happens inside the brains of gambling addicts that fuels the addiction, and how best to help them.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;A growing collection of research has found that the most afflicted have the kinds of biological brain disorders that are found among drug and alcohol abusers.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Advances in understanding gambling addiction are the result of functional magnetic resonance imaging, or fMRI, which allows the brains of gambling addicts, non-addicted gamblers and nongamblers to be scanned and compared.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Before the relatively recent use of MRI machines, scientists could only view people’s behavior, dissect the brains of the deceased or study brain chemistry by drawing fluid from the body. Functional magnetic resonance imaging allows real-time study of the brain by measuring changes in blood flow as well as oxygen levels in the blood.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Scanning participants’ brains as they were shown various gambling-related images or while they gambled with real money revealed a remarkable symptom within the brain:&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Dopamine, a chemical that regulates human behavior, including weighing relative rewards and anticipation of those rewards, flooded a part of gambling addicts’ midbrains called the nucleus accumbens. The chemical rush created overstimulated feelings of interest and excitement for the addicts &#8212; a reaction that did not occur among non-addicts.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Still unknown &#8212; the elusive mystery &#8212; is why gambling stimulates dopamine in some people.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Nonetheless, the scans provided the first biological evidence of what treatment providers had long known from working with the hardest cases: For addicts, gambling becomes all-important &#8212; eclipsing commitments to family and work. Like scoring drugs and getting high for the drug addict, gambling seems critical for survival.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Economist Don Ross at the University of Alabama and the University of Cape Town, who has studied how society’s reward systems influence human behavior, calls this phenomenon a “hijacking” of the brain’s reward system to create intense cravings and an obsessive focus on gambling.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;The brain pulls off this mutiny by figuring out that, if it can identify and connect with an addictive target &#8212; say, a slot machine &#8212; it can produce its own jackpot &#8212; a flood of rewarding dopamine. Triggering that dopamine overflow can overwhelm brain circuits that normally moderate risky behavior, said Ross, a senior economist for the &lt;A href=&quot;http://www.responsiblegambling.co.za/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;U&gt;&lt;FONT color=#0000ff&gt;National Responsible Gambling Program&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/U&gt;&lt;/A&gt;, a public-private partnership in South Africa that funds problem gambling research, education and treatment.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;These people, Ross says, seek out gambling not for pleasure &#8212; which would be a normal reaction to an entertaining pastime &#8212; but for the dopamine rush, which in turn creates a vicious circle where the person focuses more intensely on gambling at the expense of everything else.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;In Ross’ studies, the dopamine rush among addicted research subjects occurred before any gambling and in response to cues indicating that gambling was about to occur, such as an image of a slot machine or the person’s favorite casino. That result appears to coincide with stories of gambling addicts who &#8212; much like the alcoholic who obsesses about wanting to have a drink &#8212; are preoccupied with anticipation for gambling.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P class=storySub&gt;Blaming her own brain&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Carol O’Hare has not had a brain scan, but before she quit gambling, she called herself an addict.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;By day, she sold computers, explaining the merits of Random Access Memory and performance speed to moms and dads. After 5 p.m. O’Hare would park herself in front of a video poker machine, medicating herself with the rhythms of choosing and discarding poker hands.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;“My logical brain knew I couldn’t outsmart the machine,” O’Hare said. “But my logical brain fell off the track when the first quarter hit the slot. My illogical, addicted brain was driving the bus.”&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Suspecting a cocaine addiction, her employer fired her, she said.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;“I was like the Valium addict who wanted to make life go away,” she said. “Looking outside ourselves for relief is normal. But repeated attempts to avoid reality could be the beginning of a mental health problem.”&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;O’Hare would go on to become executive director of the &lt;A href=&quot;http://www.nevadacouncil.org/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;U&gt;&lt;FONT color=#0000ff&gt;Nevada Council on Problem Gambling&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/U&gt;&lt;/A&gt;, which operates a crisis hotline, in 1996.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Like many people who have wrestled with addiction, O’Hare doesn’t blame the object of her obsession. Rather, she blames her addled brain for the problem.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;“If the substance created the addiction, then everyone would become an alcoholic. When I (gamble), triggers go off in my brain differently than for other people. I don’t understand why it happens to me. There could be a genetic component. But the determining factor is me, not the machine.”&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Indeed, Ross says even the limited amount of MRI research involving small groups of gamblers indicates that pathological gamblers have a chemical addiction to gambling, which produces in their brains the same kind of “hyperactive dopamine response” found in people who abuse hard drugs.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;“For the really chronic cases who must absolutely not gamble, we’ve cracked the code,” he said. “I’ve never seen a study where the problem gambler didn’t look like the cocaine addict. It’s really quite striking.”&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P class=storySub&gt;Medication may help&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Supporting these results is the groundbreaking discovery a few years ago that gambling addicts benefit from medication used for years to treat drug addicts and alcoholics.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;One of the most promising is naltrexone, which blocks the release of dopamine and reduces the addict’s cravings.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Psychiatrists Dr. Jon Grant, who codirects the &lt;A href=&quot;http://www.impulsecontroldisorders.org/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;U&gt;&lt;FONT color=#0000ff&gt;Impulse Control Disorders clinic at the University of Minnesota Medical Center&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/U&gt;&lt;/A&gt;, and Dr. Marc Potenza, who directs the Yale Problem Gambling Clinic at Yale University, are among a small group of researchers pioneering the use of drugs, combined with therapy, to treat gambling addicts.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;The use of drugs to combat addiction is so new, Grant said, that no studies have yet compared the relative benefits of drugs and therapy.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;“We often don’t know what will help people the most when they walk in the door,” he said. “And people have personal views about things that I think should be respected when they seek help. Some people don’t want pills and others don’t want to talk to a therapist.”&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Grant, with a group of research experts from other institutions, is delving into other creative treatment methods besides medication. He co-wrote a recently published National Institutes of Health-funded study that tested a technique called “motivational interviewing” that leads addicts through imagined scenarios ending with the person not gambling.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;One scenario might involve a gambler imagining himself driving by a casino without going in. In another, the gambler might go to the casino while repeating mantras that desensitize him to the experience, such as the likely result that he will not win money. Gamblers who participated in six one-hour sessions with a psychiatrist and then listened to tapes at home reinforcing these thoughts gambled less and had fewer cravings than people who simply attended Gamblers Anonymous meetings, the study found.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P class=storySub&gt;Much still a mystery&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Many problem-gambling experts believe some people are somehow predisposed to addiction but disagree on how much of the problem is genetic versus environmental &#8212; which could involve a person’s upbringing, social influences or immediate surroundings, such as the proximity of gambling.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;“It’s the $64,000 question: How does someone go from casual to pathological gambling?” said Howard Shaffer, associate professor of psychology in the department of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School and director of its &lt;A href=&quot;http://www.divisiononaddictions.org/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;U&gt;&lt;FONT color=#0000ff&gt;Division on Addictions&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/U&gt;&lt;/A&gt;.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;According to some treatment providers, many compulsive gamblers appear to have poor coping skills. Problem gamblers in treatment commonly tell of turning to gambling as an escape from personal problems, family conflict or psychological trauma, such as the loss of a loved one &#8212; while others apparently led happy and productive lives before gambling them down the drain.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Any number of studies have found that compulsive gamblers frequently have other baggage, including abuse of drugs and alcohol, and mood disorders including depression, panic attacks and phobias, without being able to determine cause and effect.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;A 2005 study co-authored by Nancy Petry, a psychiatry professor at the &lt;A href=&quot;http://medicine.uchc.edu/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;U&gt;&lt;FONT color=#0000ff&gt;University of Connecticut School of Medicine&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/U&gt;&lt;/A&gt; and one of the first recipients of federal funding to study problem gambling, found that problem gamblers were eight times as likely to have a personality disorder as the general population, including obsessive-compulsive disorder and anti-social personality disorder.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Such correlations could have implications for treatment, as people who gamble compulsively because they are depressed could benefit from antidepressants, while treating people for underlying problems such as bipolar disorder could help alleviate gambling binges that were caused by these problems, experts say.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Recent research on the brain and effective treatment methods has far-reaching social and political implications for the field of problem gambling, the casino industry and society at large.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Knowing that addicts are mentally ill rather than simply foolish, spendthrift or morally bankrupt could lead to major changes in the criminal justice system, said Bill Eadington, an economist and director of the Institute for the &lt;A href=&quot;http://www.unr.edu/gaming/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;U&gt;&lt;FONT color=#0000ff&gt;Study of Gambling and Commercial Gaming&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/U&gt;&lt;/A&gt; at the University of Nevada, Reno.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;“If indeed gambling is a disease that could lead to criminal behavior, like drug-related crimes, then putting people in jail might be the wrong approach,” Eadington said.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;(Nevada passed a law this year, supported by the casino industry along with problem-gambling advocates, allowing state judges to send criminals with gambling problems into treatment instead of jail.)&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Further research on the brain could help separate the addicts who can’t stop gambling from a much larger group of people who binge on gambling from time to time but whose lives aren’t destroyed by their obsession with it, Eadington said. Treatment programs could be mandatory for addicts, while the greater population of binge gamblers might benefit from problem-gambling awareness campaigns and gambling information that’s more targeted to them, he said.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;“Addicts should be isolated and protected from the product like diabetics must be kept from sugar. If you’re diabetic we’re not going to give you a half-gallon of ice cream and encourage you to eat it. But in Las Vegas we might be doing that with problem gamblers.”&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;There’s much about gambling addiction that isn’t known, as many gamblers aren’t helped by the best treatment methods, many others relapse, and brain scan studies don’t tell the whole story about why addicts behave the way they do, said Dr. Potenza, who has conducted some of the few, small-scale brain scan studies available.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;And yet the biggest hurdle of all &#8212; acknowledgment and an ethical obligation to help the afflicted &#8212; has been crossed, at least by people following this still-young field.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P class=storySub&gt;A sense of desperation&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;These newly uncovered theories involving dopamine seem like old news to Robert Hunter, director of the &lt;A href=&quot;http://www.gamblingproblems.com/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;U&gt;&lt;FONT color=#0000ff&gt;Problem Gambling Center&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/U&gt;&lt;/A&gt;, a nonprofit outpatient clinic dedicated to treating gambling addicts.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;There are no pills at Hunter’s clinic &#8212; only old-fashioned group and one-on-one therapy.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;During a group-therapy session last month, three patients said they had thought about suicide. One man had his arm in a sling after a botched suicide attempt involving a faked rock climbing accident. Another woman introduced herself to the group of 15 or so people with a flood of tears.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;“I can’t take this anymore,” she said. “I need help.”&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Some attended with urging from friends and family members.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Some said they had gambled a few days ago; others hadn’t made a bet in years but were sticking around to maintain a support network.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Some acknowledged a problem that feels bigger than themselves &#8212; too large, perhaps, for any one person to grasp.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;“When you say you’re addicted to drugs people say, ‘Oh, I’m so sorry’ and they’re sympathetic. When you say you blew $80,000 gambling, people say, ‘What, are you an idiot?’&#8201;” a man said. “They don’t understand.”&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;This is an interesting story. I'm gad that finally the medical field is finally trying to understand this disease. I can say with confidence that gambling for me was the ULTIMATE escape from a bad marriage, unhappy work environment, and problematic personal issues of an unknown nature. Perhaps this research will be beneficial to the community at large who have no idea they even have this disease. It's not until you feel that first rush of a jackpot, or the utter despair of an empty bank account that you know you have it or not. Meanwhile to all of the tortured souls at this very moment wrapped around a slot machine, chain smoking, and praying to god not to take your last dollar.. be well.. try to get some sleep and nourishment, and get into 12 step when you wake up..&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;!--// END .commentContent --&gt;&lt;/LI&gt;

Keep your health insurance current, once you lose it insurance companies DON'T INSURE CRAZIES or pay out expenses when you don't reveal your &quot;TREATED&quot; mental illnesses.

&lt;P&gt;I broke up with my last 2 girlfriends here because they gambled too much. Payday loans, bank loans, personal loans, desperate for payday. Which brings up an interesting question: It seems, upon cursory overviews, that females are disproportionately drawn to slot machines. It is common to see a guy sitting at a machine, she pounding away, he's just watching. If you count the male/female ratio at a small casino, females always outnumber males. Sure, as you age, the number of females increases, but this does not explain the much larger difference in gender. Yet you go to the Race Book or Santa Anita, women are a distinct, miniscule minority. Why?&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;My theory:&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;It would seem that whatever chemical rush a person receives from slots is quickly duplicated over and over at different times. While at the track, you have a 2 minute rush during the race, and then 15-30 minutes to wait for the next rush, even with simulcasting. So this might be a gender difference.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Another difference is that there are a lot more male drunks than female drunks. Why? Some of my girlfriends might have one free drink an hour, if that, happy as a clam as long as they are pounding the buttons. Me? I've been threatened with expulsion from my local casino because I play too slow, more happy with the beer than the gambling. Obviously, I'm a guy. Research sure has a long way to go to figure out the &quot;why's&quot; and &quot;who's&quot; of gambling and booze.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;!--// END .commentContent --&gt;&lt;/LI&gt;

&lt;P&gt;Rejecto : Having attended many 12 step meetings, I am offended by your pointless and fanatical ranting against a volunteer program which has helped millions of desperate people on the brink of self destruction. Whether or not you believe it's a cult, this program has turned otherwise useless walking dead people into productive contributing members of society. Most people have addictions to escape painful things which occured to them growing up, or just throughout the course of their lives, of which they participate in that addiction to numb themselves out from the pain. The twelve step program teaches them to deal with pain and suffering without resorting to substances or gambling. Pain is always a constant in life, misery however, is optional. So why don't you cool it with your ranting and contribute something useful like other options for these suffering folks.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;!--// END .commentContent --&gt;&lt;/LI&gt;

&lt;P&gt;I've got to agree with Noindex &amp; KillerB. I can fully understand the dopamine rush that accompanies gambling. If I bet $50 on a horse to win the Kentucky Derby-as those horses round the stretch-my juices are gonna be flowing. But when people say my illogical addicted brain takes over &amp; controls my actions when I enter a Casino-I don't buy that for one second. The only person who controls your actions is YOURSELF. Bottom line. The choice to participate in gambling is ones own choice. You make a choice to do it-or you make a choice to not do it. It's really simply a lack of self conrol. Carol O'hare mentions that she sold computers by day. How can someone working in the computer business NOT realize that a computer chip driven video poker machine-in the long run-is going to make more money then it pays out. It's as simple as that. There's no way around it. To waste time deluding yourself that you can overcome the house edge in any of these games is simply idiotic. Gambling is strictly for entertainment-nothing more.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;!--// END .commentContent --&gt;&lt;/LI&gt;

&lt;P&gt;Circleofillumination : The first thing to do is call the Problem Gambling Hotline. That voice on the other end of the phone will give you some quick preliminary steps to take. Mainly make sure you have funds separate from that family member's access. The most important thing you can do is keep money OUT of their hands, and put the funds in a safe place for which to keep your lights and heat and rent paid. Make your loved one agree to taking the first steps to address his or her problem, or else you will have to get away from that person and the chaos they are causing you and the rest of your family members. Tough love is the only thing that will work for you in this situation.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;!--// END .commentContent --&gt;&lt;/LI&gt;

&lt;P&gt;12 step programs literally saved my life. That being said there are various reasons why they are not for everyone. If you or a loved are in pain and suffering from addiction of any sort I urge you search for the option or combination of options that are right for you. Remember that there are many of us out there with cooccuring disorders and we must treat them simultaneously if we want true relief from the insidiousness. There is hope out there and please remember if one thing does not work for you keep looking until you find the one that does. I wish you all the best.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;!--// END .commentContent --&gt;&lt;/LI&gt;

&lt;P&gt;Theoretically, gambling parlors are suppose to broker action between winners and losers at a commission -- the reality is gambling parlors only permit patrons' they considered valued assets i.e. losers to participate -- preying upon gambling degenerates widely known as &quot;suckers&quot; IS the gambling parlor's business and why many consider such business operations to be unethical and socially harmful.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;The real problem resides within a society that condones gambling parlor's refusal to broker action between the winners and losers resulting in a predatory practice of theft upon society instead of broking entertainment action between its participants.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;The very nature of gambling creates winners AND losers but when winning patrons are refused participation why play?&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;The next time you enter a gambling parlor stop and take a look around -- note to yourself that all participants' are considered losers by the mere fact they're being allowed to participate.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Now where do the winners prohibited from participation turn to for assistance?&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;I work in psychiatry. I see people, mostly men, come in to our facility day in and day out telling us they are suicidal because &quot;someone jumped me and took all my money.&quot; When the truth is they took their paycheck and gambled it away at the casino, and now they can't feed their kids or pay the mortgage. &lt;BR&gt;The first step is for people to stop lying to their doctors and therapists about losing their money at the casino. We can't treat you if we know you are lying to us. We will give you three days of a bed and meals and send you out the door.&lt;BR&gt;Second step is mental health facilities need to stop feeding the compulsion by giving addicted gamblers a bed and a meal. The only way someone will quit their destructive habit is if they have no alternative. It is stated over and over again that if you continue to give these people comfort and solace, they will continue to know if they lose everything, they have somewhere to go. Its ridiculous that in a town that has gambling as its main source of income, that they don't take a stand on those that come here with $20, spend it on a penny machine, drink $50 worth of booze, then pay for them to stay in a $500 bed a night hospital for several days. On top of it all, they don't want treatment, they want a few days of free living until they can pawn something or get another payday loan. Give me a break!!!!&lt;BR&gt;Our facility has gone so far as to give them free greyhound bus tickets to go home to where they came to be with family, only for them to show up 2 or 3 days later telling us they were &quot;rolled&quot; and lost their bus ticket and of course, &quot;I'm going to kill myself.&quot;&lt;BR&gt;If Nevada taxpayers only knew how much of their tax money went to this ridiculous, vicious, cycle, you would all demand that the mental health facilities in this town take a stand and refuse admission to those people who continue to abuse an already overloaded system. Then tax the casinos to pay for a state of the art gambling addiction specialty hospital to treat the illness properly!&lt;BR&gt;There, I said it!!!!!&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;!--// END .commentContent --&gt;&lt;/LI&gt;
