Hi
I went from November last year to August this year without gambling. For some stupid stupid reason I started gambling again it took over me made me spend all my wages go short in August and this month. I was irritable again high one minute and super low the next depending if the slots came in. I was wondering how I was going to pull myself away I was thinking of payday next week and how I was going to win, I wasn’t sure I was going to quit.
Today I’ve realised I am stopping my partner was at the hospital and given bad news my heart stopped with it and upset me obviously. It has brought the reality home that while my partners poorly I’ve been staring at my phone trying to spin in a winner , I’m so ashamed , I will now stop and cherish the time I have with my partner.
i am writing this as a diary for myself to remind me and to explain to others, gambling is a disgusting habit and there is so much more to life. While we gamble we miss the important things in life .
