Be it gambling or general life, Problems are there to be looked at, analysed, addressed and then tackled. Problems shouldn't be feared. Gambling is just another problem. See it for what it is, not what it tries to masquerade as. See a problem as a good chance to use and show your new found problem solving skills or spot it and stop it before it becomes a problem. Life involves countless decisions, make good decisions and you will have fewer problems to deal with. Hide from problems and more and more severe problems will follow. Bad decisions occasionally happen as we are human, but don`t let the bad decisions become a cycle. Every decision you make try to make it the best decision you possibly can. Rash decisions are often bad decisions, so take time over every decision , take extra time over the more important decisions. A good knowledge of the subject will ultimately lead to a good decision. A single good decision can halt and be the beginning of a change to a lifetime of bad decisions, conversely one bad decision can severely ruin a lifetime of good decisions.

What will your own next decision be?

Hi

My addictions and obsessions just indicated that I was emotionally vulnerable.

My addictions and obsessions indciated that I lived in high evels of fears.

Once I got to understand what my emotional triggers were I could do some thing about them.

Hi lids,,,,,,............///////// yes decisions make our lives.....

 

I act very impulsively with decisions sometimes and it effects what i have to do to rectify things and change after acting impulsively to regretting the impulse.

 

When gambling this was a huge problem for me but one ive made significant improvements on now.

 

Im really going to try to think a bit longer before making purchases from now on.... in order to make the right ones....

 

Im really going to try to improve my lifestyle (eating and exercise) this month to start and august and see where it takes my health.

 

im going to try to think about work less in my home life and think about my actions more at work whilst there.  in order to come accross better.

 

Im going to start this now.....

 

By the end of this financial year i am to be more mentally and physically able...... (and loss a bit of my stumach in the process)

 

All the best adam
