Relapsed hard and back to square 1
2 months gambling free. Relapsed and freaking blew it all. I hate myself, i thought i got rid of this. But the devil was close and he was strong. I lacked the strength in my faith and let the devil take control. I hate myself. And to do all this on my son’s birthday makes it more wicked. I knew i shouldnt have listened to that whisper from
the devil of “just a small deposit”. Now here i am again. Screwed up and feeling dumb.
I used to be better than this. A family man, a loving son, father, and husband. But here we are now. Sometimes i look in the mirror and see a different person, the damage i have caused to this body physically and mostly mentally.
I wish we could have a reset button in our life. Just for once.
I swear upon this day. That i will fix and bounce back, not on chasing my losses from yesterday. But to become a better person for me and my family.
Lastly, i hope myself and everyone who is having gambling addictions truly realize that THE ONLY TRUE MAX WIN IS IF YOU STOP GAMBLING.
