Fuckin' Dottys man, they're everywhere.

Vegasbro here though, that shit is challenging. People get addicted to the highs of winning, and I've seen it ruin a lot of lives. That first win is SO EASY, and then you feel like you can do it again. Then when you lose what you've won, you feel the urge to "win it back," knowing that just one more jackpot is going to make everything okay again. But it doesn't come, and you've buried yourself.

Since she's your wife, is there a way to set limits on the finances? Like a set amount that can be taken out of your account before going to the bank? Can you talk to her about responsibly sharing the money, maybe with her letting you control how much she can take out at a time until she's less interested in going to Dotty's?

There's Gambling Anonymous meetings, and I've been to one to support a friend, but as an alcoholic that can't stand AA, I don't know if I should recommend GA as any kind of a solution either.

Not that this works in smaller places like Dotty's or gas stations or shitty dive bars, but if there's a problem with her gambling at a Caesars, MGM, or other big chain property, you may have success asking them to revoke her gaming privileges there. Unfortunately in the small places they don't have the resources to keep track, so you may be shit out of luck there.

Frankly, the only solid advice here is either underhanded tactics to limit her access to the money, or to have an honest conversation with her.

It's such a different addiction than drugs and booze, in that there's no doctor to scare her away, and booze and drugs don't have that enticing "if you use more of us your problems will go away" carrot at the end of the stick.
