It’s been two weeks since I last gambled
Addiction rarely ends over night
It’s a journey that can bring you to your knees
Humble you
Open your heart & mind
I must see the flashing lights of the casinos as bait to a fish
The casino’s hook dragging me into debt, despair, regret and suffering
I must see gambling as self destruction instead of an illusion of pleasure
If I can be mindful & remind myself each day of the self destruction of gambling
Then I will be free to live my life without the burden of financial debt & despair
Freedom is a requirement for true happiness, whether that be financial or mental
To truly touch happiness, we must let go of old habits, thoughts, and ways of living that cause us suffering
With aloha,
