There are so many positives in my world right now, yet I seem hell bent on destroying everything through gambling.

I need to search deeper to understand what takes me to this dark place.

An unhealthy relationship, work load/stress, boredom (lack of purpose), greed, trying to make finances better the fast (and impossible) way, a real lack of willpower or respect around money since childhood.

I need to stop trying to con myself with lies and half truths...no deep diving needed - ITS ALL OF THE ABOVE.

Today is the day I take full responsibility for my actions, and take the first honest and measured steps to a more stable and normal future.

I stand here before myself and promise to stop this hurtful madness once and for all.

I am in more pain, deep inside than I ever allow myself to acknowledge, and the heartache it causes me cuts sharp at my soul.

I now commit to myself that this is over.

Fin.
