I'm 23 years old. I had a decent job, lovely girlfriend, amazing parents... I couldn't have really asked for more. Now I've lost my job, probably lost my parents and although my parents are sticking by me I've not only lost their trust, I've damaged a relationship which may never fully heal. But... after begging, borrowing and stealing my way from happiness to nothing, to being a nobody, I've promised myself that I'm gonna change and be the man I always wanted to be. I've been to the doctors, I've been to the job centre, I've banned myself from the casino. But... if I'm ever going to change and be better, I need help. I need my girlfriend back. There's a line I keep quoting in my head though, I'm sure it's a Marlyn Monroe quote, of, 'If you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best'. That's something that's helping me cope at the moment, after this being the third day of the 'space' she says she needs. Any help offered would be awesome.
