I am typing this to give myself a final goodbye to this crippling addiction. I haven’t gambled in a week, which is the longest span of sobriety in 3-4 years. I am 24 years old and have lost a decent amount of money over the years to this disease. I have opened up to my parents several times and they are aware of my problem but I truly feel I am done. I am not proud of the man I am today because of this disease. I focused more on gambling than I did my own career path, relationships and personal growth. I have a baby girl on the way and I will not let this addiction intrude in any possible way with the relationship I will have with her. Financially, right now is not the greatest time. But this is a true blessing from god in which I believe she has already saved me. I cannot dwell on the past, but focus on the future and establish a life I want to create and live. I hope and pray if anyone else is going through this sickening disease, you get the help you deserve. You are not alone. You are loved.
