Hey everyone.
Â
I'm Chris. I'm a 43 year old father of 1 and an ex GA member from my early 20s.
My late teens, early 20s were chaos. Lost fortunes and GA taught me to put barriers in place etc.
Years went by and the old habits returned but the blocks stopped bad runs become an all out disaster.Â
20 years later, and I now think that's the problem. I've pottered around for years, earning decent money, making sure the bills were paid, but blowing the rest.Â
Because I never hit that rock bottom, I have meandered on feeling fairly rubbish for the best part of 2 decades. Sometimes win, sometimes lose, but long term I always lose. We all do.
Time that should be spent on my career, my daughter is lost looking at form hoping the Mrs doesn't catch me.
Because I never hit that pit, I never did anything about it. But now I think it's time.
Today was another bad day but no disaster. But in 20 years, I'll end up with nothing but regret. Question is, am I ready for this? I haven't gone cold turkey since my 20s but those were the best days of my life.
Please help with words that it's time to stopÂ
Thanks
This is me too.... I'm 43 too and a dad of 1. Why do we earn money to just fritter it away senselessly..... if you can't answer that the time is right to try and quit. If you're like me you've never saved a penny in your life. Try giving it a go. Get addicted to making money not s******g itÂ
