My Reminder Poem - Guest - 22-08-2010 I recently found a poem I wrote when I was at my worst whilst gambling. I now use it is a reminder of how things used to be and a detterrent from complancey. I would like to share the poem - it describes my feelings back then: This is my soul, shattered,torn A six foot monster has been born This is my world, empty , bare A beast that lives without a care This is my brain, scrambled, fried The cheeky grin has long since died This is my mouth, these are my eyes A horrid spiteful web of lies This is my body, this is my face An evil demon takes my place This is me, this is my heart Tearing my whole life apart This is my guilt, this is my sorrow I will not be this beast tommorow But morning comes I feel anger, rage Another day I wake in my lonely cage This is my life, this is who I am A bitter, twisted, selfish man This is I, this is me This is not who I want to be.

Re: My Reminder Poem - kinnor - 12-09-2010 hi andy, i'm happy for you, it's a great victory even you says you're feeling better I stayed free for 21 days only and then i gambled and gambled until yesterday. I made my self-exclusion of all sites poker online; this time definitely i have to stop, i'm ruined and sick. I began gambling two years ago only but it's enough for to destroy my life, i'm ashamed and i try to find the strength and the will to stop gambling. I see you and i say me : if he can i can too. Congratulations for your willpower |
