The trouble with the lists is that they are quickly forgotten whensomething else begins to fill your brain. I journal every morning in an attempt to prioritize my day and not find time for gambling, and do very well until the tingle in the brain begins – you know that tingle, when the song or the bells from your fave game play in your head. Then I forget to journal and it all starts over again. Self help is the starting point but you need to find someone to talk to and be accountable to. Keep going and then go farther. You are young and have a long life of ruin ahead if you don’t. You don’t want to end up working to support a slot machine and not a family.
