i play poker 6 to 7 days a week.alot of times for serious money. been doing this for last 2 years. usually i will make alot of money at it. i think im getting burnt out though my level of play has dropped signicantly over last month. the adrenaline rush i got from the game has kept me playing lately i haven't been getting that adrenaline from playing. i have no social life outside of poker. i dont know what to do.

Go to a bar and talk to people, alternatively go out anywhere that common people commune and talk to people...or throw pebbles at women and then yell "hey kid!" acting as though someone else through it...almost certainly leads to a conversation.

hmmmmmmmmm sounds like addiction to me..maybe u should seek help..

i'm not ashamed but i'm a recovering drug addict/alcoholic..17 months sober now..and i went thru the same thing and my life got so out of control..i almost lost everything..but it has gotten better and will continue to

i dont know if its an addiction. i generally make money at it cleared 40 k over last 2 years. im not one of those degenerate gamblers that loses everything i have

well thats the disease telling u that..it may catch up to u..but then again who knows..but if u are depressed, i'd just watch out is all..take care of U..

i wouldn't know how to make money otherwise ive been doing this for so long. plus im mechanically dyslexic as far as trying to get a legitimate job goes

When all else fails turn to a coin flip.

all i'm saying is be careful..been there, done that. so i know and i have a friend in recovery for gambling as well. just maybe take a break from it when u can, do different things, etc..

good luck

i dont really have any other hobbies all of my close friends have left state outside of a card room im extremely shy. its hard making friends at a card room when your taking their money.

Famous Words of Richard Pryor "People say you can get addicted to coke. Hell, I've been snortin cocain everyday for 15 years and I ain't addicted" Homey, poker 6 or 7 nights a week? It's and addiction.

dont addictions usually cost you money?

Some people are addicted to shop lifting, washing their hands, locking the doors, playing poker

ok for arguments sake say i am addicted. if i quit playing im not going to be making the money i am now their in lies the problem.i dont see the solution either.

stay home, watch porn and masturbate at least three times a day

there ya go!!!!!

problem solved

Choice A: Get a job, bagger, clerk, cashier, waiter, car repair, etc. or B: Live off the land, learn to hunt, fish, and self preservation.

(Option B requires the least amount of human interaction and is highly recommended by myself, however a year down the road you will develop a friend in your head named Sam...and you will never get rid of him.)

fear of something is what make it control you, or become an addict to it....you dont sound like you fear it, so let no one convince you to.....it has been good for SOME reason.....did you make yourself have a love for poker......no man creates their own desire......it is a physical reality of a deeper inner desire that has to do with your destiny in life........one can look into the experience as if from outside yourself and see what it was to teach......if everything was removed from the world today, and just you ALONE were left, what would you care about......who would you want to see......NONE? somebody?......no satisfaction comes but only does good and need not repeat IF we see it as GOOD...... GOOD to show us WHAT WE REALLY WANT......think as if you are not yourself, not even your old name......just a being whith ALL POWER TO DO ANYTHING YOU WISH........be ANYBODY you wish to be.......even our names tie us to who we think we are based on the past......your mind will tell you most not to do these things, to see all as negative, but even with the first step following the things your heart says will return passion for ALL of life.......

Doesn't matter what it is in life you do....too much and it turns on you ..pull back leave it for awhile ..it will be still there when you come back.. you feel your tired don't have your "A" game been moody? its your body trying to tell you pull up i'm not telling u not to gamble im sure your a big boy but try the track or walk away for a few and hang out with some non poker buddys

Take some of your winnings inrole in job trainning on what you want to do

When i started out was washing cars at a bodyshop..But took the money and took up air brushing I still get calls from them to do custom paint jobs on show cars
