'I FEEL COMFORT AND INNER PEACE'
I DECIDED TO MOVE to Las Vegas in 1992, and held various jobs there in telephone customer service and real estate. Also I held different positions in a casino—security, surveillance. Working heavily for about three years in the casino environment and on the casino floor, I found that being involved with gambling was something that I was doing to try to fill a void of loneliness, and to find recreation and excitement. I knew it was not beneficial to my health or my finances, so I decided to look for a way out. I knew there was something better out there. That's really what led me to Christian Science.
I began going daily to a local Christian Science Reading Room, and I started talking to the Reading Room staff. I got a copy of Science and Health, which I began to read very intensely, from cover to cover. I felt there was still a void, and I needed to find some kind of peace and solace, to go beyond what I had been doing, because I wasn't really getting true fulfillment.
