He is not your friend anymore

Why not? You can have other interests with someone besides just gambling

If you gamble, drink or do drugs and your friend does not it will never work

This!
Never shall the two mix.

A boss I had once told me, "Everything counts. Don't think because we're out having dinner, a beer, or are seeing a ball game together means you can let your guard down and drop the work facade."

He threw a christmas party at his house for all the staff one year. One guy got crazy drunk but was not obnoxious, just entertaining. Boss didn't approve. He was the first guy fired when we had cutbacks 1 year later.

Losers go on vacation and gamble

2 thing i truly think is very true, if a game on tv and you got to have a bet on it and you got to bet to have action going, then you might want to think about stop gambling, that is not a way to win and it put your health and well being in trouble

I nailed this thread

last week I was drinking and I had two cases next to me and the person next to me wasn’t a drinker and he was questioning do I have a drinking problem? I told him to get the hell out of here.

She'd be the first one he would have fired for that.
