I hear just look you all I want to stop gambling and stop wasting my money and be able to use it on my family instead of this addiction.

I thought about changing from a smartphone to just a standard phone has anyone tried that. Even when I will I loose because wining isn't enough nor is losing along as I'm chasing the thrill and adrenaline 

 

I want tomorrow to be my day 1
