Gambling! Not Just Dollars At Stake

In life we take on tasks, plan creative projects, play sport or simply be part of life with the total intent to be successful, respected in a stand up kind of way. With pride, puff out the chest and take the good comments from others and receive the feeling of achievement as our bonus and self-satisfaction.

In short we are put together with an in built drive to be accepted, resourced, successful, loved and proud.

These are the ingredients to a path of happiness in our every day life, including leisure, marriage, relationships, adventure -in easy words “someone” not just a statistic of failure.

Gambling is a “HUGE MOUNTAIN” a “DEMON” that stands before us. That will never afford us the pleasure of being all of the above. Its affect will direct us in the path of bad health and attitude. Including nerves, worry, inability to sleep well, cranky, angry, misdirected outbursts and the tendency to blame all around us as a way of reducing our inner pain and our inner feeling of failure.

We have energies and powers within our bodies and minds that we can direct and apply to make virtually anything work or happen if we want it to. Concentrating these factors in the direction of compulsive gambling sucks all of these energies and powers out of our system and leaves no positives for our loved ones, a happy disposition, friends and acquaintances. In fact it voids our minds of the ability to be composed, think straight, make sensible decisions, and distracts our very atractability to others—in as much that the vibes from us repels rather than draws them to us.

So in total– Gambling will leave us alienated, alone, damage our bodies and minds and severely damage those we love around us.

How many times have we promised our partner the kids or both a huge treat like a big holiday or a big day out, only to have to let them down. Make up some created cover up (which of course they don’t really believe) because we dispersed the money in one of our many deviate ways to feed the demon.

So understanding the prior, what is it we, as created in the normal bracket of human being, are trying to achieve?

To damage everyone around us?

To keep hurting ourselves?

To miss out on all that is good?

To lose everything until there is nothing left?

To stand alienated and alone?

To disperse of all our pride, self satisfaction and achievement?

ARE WE:

Totally self indulgent?

Not caring for anyone?

Not caring for our own health?

Are we just pigs of life?

No of course we don’t want any of the above, but believe me they are all true.

We probably love our loved ones explicitly, but we need to show them, not hurt them. Give them us, not some stumbling jerk allowing our own inner “excitement monster’ to take us over and kill everything we live for.

Please understand your hunt for happiness will not come in any shape or from gambling.

THE REAL WORLD

Work, think, save, plan, love care, trust enjoy these are the real worlds fruits of contentment and satisfaction.

LETS SET A NEW DIRECTION

• Stand up and admit your problem top yourself
• Sit down with your loved ones and friends and tell them you have a problem
• Ask them to please give you their powers to assist you to fight this demon, they will understand & help
• Ask them for help with you financial arrangements. To control your money or direct your flow of money as you grow.
• Assure your love ones that this is the real exorcism, you are going all they way with this and mean it.
• Find some non hurt interests to fill your mind.
• Seek counselling, Gamblers Anonymous, psychologists and keep that direction going.
• Believe this is a day to day process—don’t part—time this.
• Promise yourself you are going to beat this.

I have taken these steps but unfortunately too late. I am on my own, I have lost my wife, my dog, my home, my network of friends, everything that is dear o me. I write this alone 700 klms away from all I care for. Don’t join me here—FIX THE PROBLEM.
