$1200 is hard earned, I won!
Why give it to the "fatcats"? Easy money for them!
I used to justify my actions by saying things like "it could have been worse" or "some people take vacations, I gamble", but every time we justify our actions we are fooling ourselves and sooner or later things will spiral out of control and we will say "things couldn’t be much worse" or "I can’t afford to either gamble or take vacations!"
Don’t wait until you are at rock bottom, I won. ***** what you have achieved by not gambling A new car, money saved, peace of mind, self respect and above all your sanity.
Gambling robs us of all those things.
When we gamble, or time and our money are never our own.
I keep reminding myself that gambling is NOT about relaxing and having fun . It’s about giving our hard earned cash to some greedy stranger who is laughing all the way to the bank.
Change your thinking and your habits will change.
ODAAT!
