Hey Jack,
Sound familiar?? erm yeah!!
Your 22 right?? not a biggy yet! is losing a few grand in a night an issue? is 1pence ?
Jack i will stop talking in riddles, I am a compulsive gambler. That means my mind played tricks on me, made me question Can I do it??Can I just control it?? Oh I get paid on friday its not that bad?
Fred, tim and geoff bet why cant I??
I am at my lowest my mind would say, so deppressed, I just lost 2grand.
That low was every other week, losing, chasing, situation, bigger situation, drama, bigger drama.
Then eventually I woke up and smelt the coffee...I cannot gamble, why, because pence will become pounds, pounds will become pence, food will become no food.
And instead I started to say "just for today I will not gamble"
Thats my life now....
because "god granted me the serenity to accept the things I couldnt change the courage to change the things I could and the wisdom to know the difference"
I suggest instead of thinking about what is lost you find a way to understand this desease and what it can do to you and start to live that day at a time.
