I haven't updated my diary in a while due to many factors, but most important because I did not want to read/see etc. anything related to gambling. For those of you who have read my 1st diary and this 2nd one probably know I have had a very tough story gamblin ..and my losess are huge.
I still have not recovered from the loss of my home and all my life savings I had at the time, Semptember, somewhere around this same time of the year, last year... I need a lot more time to recover from all the losses but I feel confident that I will succeed.
My last gambling spree has worsened my depression .. into major depression and am taking heavy medication.
At the moment I still don't feel stable but looking forward to a brighter future. I am not longer chasing my losses and have been gamble free since 29th of August this year.
Stay strong everyone and don't ever forget : every bet is a loss, every time you abstain from betting you are a winner! isn't this what we expect from life ? Let's all be winners !
I've quit gambling , replaced the addiction with drinking. (along with my smoking habit of 16 years etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. )
