You hit the withdraw button and the dreams start! "That money hits my account tomorrow; I'm gonna take the family out! Get that top I wanted! Pay that bill to make next month a little easier" Bam next day at 10:48 ( even know when the money going to hit) "lovely jubbly" What shall we do today? Before we go out one little £5 bet won't hurt, will it? Keep me entertained.
Then as the world around you becomes non-existent, lock myself in a room! The next 6-7 hours becomes a blur. I'm suppose to be relaxing, on holiday this week. As every gambler knows they can never relax or switch off! My trait is how I change in personality when i gamble. A world away from the person who don't gamble is! It's like I have spilt personalities. Normal: loving and caring family man to Gambler: self centred, bad temper, angry even when winning, loser! Now I know it's happening but I can't seem to stop him take over the normal my life. Like many others I've tried to get rid of him but he keeps coming back! Slowly destroying me and everyone around me. Bed time is hard, the mind never switches off.
I want to be the controller and not the one being controlled. Hopefully one day I will be the winner. Beating the illness...
Love, body, mind.
Regards
Macca.
