my therapist is pretty cool and doesnt think i have a gambling problem because i play poker because i just explained to her that its a game of skill and not luck like slots or something

shes also really hot in a milf sort of way

Definitely try to hit that and post pics and graphs.

OP- Thin line separates addictions from non addictions I guess.
Therapists see gambling and behaviors that fall outside of some norm and try to put labels on it at times.
I guess what matters is how you feel a) about what you do and b) how you think others perceive you and how that affects you.

The answer isnt in a text book or on some clinical notes.
Take in whatever info you think is helpful and run with it.
Find whatever balance you think you want. That simple and tough.

Crappy friends, if you ask me, they should be happy for you, not jealous.

I'm pretty sure your court appointed counselor writes up a report that goes to the judge of your case. Why the hell are you telling her you play poker?!?

When you have a big downswing, tell all your friends and watch them giggle and jump with glee. Then everything will be alright.
