We do not realize the affect of our gambling on other people until we are stopped and in recovery. We all have stories to tell if look closer into our lives.
It was in 1997, when I was going to my class in uni, where I met a beautiful young lady on the way. We met and got into the best relationship that I have ever had in my life. I still go and watch the bench that we sat on the first time we met.
What did I do to destroy our relationship? Nothing really, I was in love with gambling behind her back. I even took her to meet her in casino.
To make the long story short, she left me. Last thing she said was: I wanted to build my life with you next to me, climbing the mountains hand to hand with you…..
This is what we are when in gambling activity, not that we do not care but we always think that we get them back, when we have a big win… And as you all know by now, the big win is never big enough.
While I was gambling there were so many occasions that members of family were in need and I could easily help them big time in their life, but I was telling myself, the big win comes and then I will do that…you know that it never came…it never comes.
while gambling, there are things that we do, and there some that we do not do, and both might have big effects on our close family or friends. It is not all about us, it is about people around us.
