How many times have i asked myself that question?
I go a couple of days, a week, and i feel better. Less stresses, more in control, more positive about life, work and everything else.
Then i go and ruin it all by gambling, and losing money i don't have.
The last time (yesterday) was down to boredom. I'd had a good couple of days at work and wanted to unwind on the trip home. Had a bet each way, it won, so money back, gambled that, it won. Put the lot on a football game. Lost. This is two days after saying 'no more for me, wont bet again, cant afford it, have a debt i need to clear, birthdays and holidays to pay for, so what makes me act selfishly and irresponsibly. Hated myself last night because i know the amount i've lost through gambling. The fun stopped a long time ago.
Day 1 (again) and i'm going to nail it.
Good luck, you can do it, what is lost is lost, don't chase it
Day 2
Weekend starts tomorrow. That's where i usually slip into bad behaviour. Not this time. Gambling has taken so much enjoyment out of sport for me. Used to love watching football. When i was gambling, i could watch Match of the Day without feeling regretful about the money i'd lost on those matches. Not this weekend.
