I would like to quote myself as a very good example..All i can
say gambling is a very addictive habit...becoz its the very quick
turn over which makes it exciting and "this-time i might win"
mentality that makes you difficult give up such habit...
I was a very addictive gambler last time also, me went casinos,
gentings, la vegas,macau for "holidays", dabbled in soccer betting
and each bets are huge amounts....of course overall profits went
downhill....lost loads of money....often quarrel with gf, lost
interests in eveything when the soccer match starts....lost the
interest in my biz....i began to lost my precious time to
gambling....
Then eventually i came to think of that, why the hell do i love to
gamble so much, i began to look at this prob at its eyes...im not
only losing money, im losing so much including my lifestyle, my
time, my biz, etc...i had missed out so many beautiful things in
life...i began to wake up...
I came to a conclusion, gambling will Drain you out (whether you
lost or win), be it monetary, mentally or whatever...its a
devil....no one ever make a fortune thru gambling, well of course
im not referring to those who struck Toto and King of gambler, even
if so, thats a only a very miniature percent of the population,
what makes you think you are the lucky one....eventually even if
you win alot of money via sheer luck, you lost out many others, eg:
ppl who care for you and etc...
Focus on your life term goals, focus on things that has value
one...luckily for me im still able to save my biz at the last
min...now everything is back to normal again...im now leading a
happy life...those days in gambling is really a nightmare...
