From the catechism:

2413 Games of chance (card games, etc.) or wagers are not in themselves contrary to justice. They become morally unacceptable when they deprive someone of what is necessary to provide for his needs and those of others. The passion for gambling risks becoming an enslavement. Unfair wagers and cheating at games constitute grave matter, unless the damage inflicted is so slight that the one who suffers it cannot reasonably consider it significant.

1765 There are many passions. The most fundamental passion is love, aroused by the attraction of the good. Love causes a desire for the absent good and the hope of obtaining it; this movement finds completion in the pleasure and joy of the good possessed. The apprehension of evil causes hatred, aversion, and fear of the impending evil; this movement ends in sadness at some present evil, or in the anger that resists it.

Gambling is not per se evil. It becomes evil when the desire to engage in it, or its effects, become disordered. Properly engaged in, it is entertainment. Yet you were not ultimately entertained or even disappointed, but rather angered. A bad sign. Moving on to anger, we see from the catechism that it is a passion which is neutral in nature. Anger properly arises to motivate us to oppose evil.

It has occurred to me that nearly all anger I experience may be directed toward God, since He either directly causes, or allows things to occur to me. If I encounter actual evil, my anger is justified to oppose it. However, it is rarely a matter of evil, but of my pride, that causes anger to arise. If I am angered at a simple test that God correctly applies to me, am I not then angry with God?

You have mentioned anger more than once in this thread. Have you confessed this, and spoken with Father about it?
 
ive had big anger problems in the past,and have been hospitalised over it a few times

but ive been calm for a few years now ,but with this damn roulette game ,ive been feeling the anger build up,i snapped the other day at the table

sadly ive been back twiice since then and have blown over a thousand dollars

im sorry but after the last two days if i cant see something seriously fishy or shifty or even plain out SATANIC in this roulette game then i am an idiot

there is way too much coencidence in this game for it to not have something spiritual happening in it

i would have to write for ages to explain what i mean but im talking about the kind of bets and numbers you play and when they come out and when they dont come out

and even with the slot machines ,like a friend of mine says also whos lost alot of money on them ‘they are the devil’

he calls the whole casino the devil

i guess a little bit of alcohol or gambling or smoking may not be a sin ,but when someone does these things alot ,then they might say also that they are the devil ,because in excess these things will destroy you

i snapped and exploded because for the second time i had the table and numbers virtually covered and the number 14 in the middle came out which i had nothing on there and i couldnt believe it

it happenes to so many people ,that they cover the board and the number they have nothing on comes out

its just damn satanic i dont care what anyone says

anyway you dont have to reply

Lord have mercy

PaulTheApostle,

I am glad you are making steps towards recovery. My uncle lost everything including his family gambling, and he doesn’t feel repentant about it, or at least doesn’t seem so. He stills gambles to this very day, and has decided to run away from all the professional help we have tried to give him.

Keep Strong, and SEEK HELP. You need it. Trust me. Hug your family, Pray to God, Confess to God, and Seek Counseling.

God Bless!!

Lord, hear our prayers.
