I should give up all my hard work and let my bad habits win,
but my strong heart will never let my body give in.
I have been down the road called failure a lot before,
It's a life struggle, that I can't bear anymore.

I have been in rehab and I will move on,
fighting my inner demons until my addiction are gone.
It will maybe take a lifetime to get over this,
but sure this pain I will not miss.

Me, myself and I, I will never forget in past,
without anysituational awareness, just living life too fast.
The most difficult part was to face myself and see the person inside,
breaking into pieces and running for 3,5 years, I could no longer hide.

Being free like a bird flying up in the sky, I wanted this,
but I must admit, that the addiction I still miss.
But the time is new and change is a must,
so the path I will take, a better world for myself I will make.

Knowing I did survive, thank God, I am still alive.
Every moment is another chance.

No. I am a former compulsive gambler. The casino used to be my second home, and I got an adrenaline rush from betting online and being in different casino every weekend.
I am a sports junkie. Love all kinds of sports and watch it whenever I get the time. Be it Football (Premier league, La Liga, italian Serie A, french ligue 1, german Bundesliga and the turkish sper lig), tennis, boxing, NHL, NFL or cricket.

P.S - I like your username. Beast mode 😆

I'm really sorry to hear that, sweetheart. ... Happiness is for everybody, no one deserves to be sad for any reason. Back in the days, my mom always used to tell me - "God gives his hardest battles to his strongest soldiers". It felt good to know.

I posted this on the LFDR- forum a couple of days ago. When you have the time, do watch it. It's a short documentary I saw last year, and I can still not get it out of my head. I cried a lot, cause it was just so beautiful. It's about Rasul "Rocky" Clark. A former running back for Eisenhower High School. He was this bright student and athlete. Sadly one day he was tackled during a football game and suffered two broken vertebrae in his neck and a spinal injury. He was paralyzed from the neck down.
He really did touch my heart, cause he chose to never give up on life. He was a fighter. Despite the fact, that his $5 million insurance policy with the school ran out, he NEVER gave up. He is my biggest inspiration and my hero.
We are healthy, yet we complain about the smallest things in life. And then there are people like Rocky, who had it so difficult, but to complain or give up on life was NOT an option.
I later found out, he passed away in 2012. It's amazing how a stranger can touch such a special place in your heart. RIP.

P.S - He never gave up and did fight for his life till the very end, then why should we give up.

I hope your friend is back on the right path again. I lost many friends. But the most painful was to lose my blue-eyed sweetheart. The most handsome, dignified and admirable Arab guy I have ever met. I didn't deserve him for sure, I was a complete mess, but I am glad he taught me that "all men are not bas***ds and without self-respect". I never knew he would change my whole perception about men. They are not all sex-crazed womanizers - Hahaha. 😆 He was a security guard in one of the casinos I used to visit. But I am glad he is happy now, and I am too. Usne mujhe maaf kar diya, aur maine apne aap ko. I do sometimes ruminate about what if...But then I remember this:

- Allah puts people in your life for a reason and removes them from your life for a better reason.

/SJ.

Sunrise, why thank you dear!
Start today with a new hope and new beginning !
Forget what happened in the past!
Look at the positive side,you have a new day!
You are your own strength,let that be your strongest asset,

Don't even think about your addiction,take it slow and one day at a time
You don't have to prove to any one,
Leave the things the way they are
You are very strong and you can do it,

These are passing storms in your life,
It can't get worse then this,
These storms will pass and let's hope everything gets normal with time,

When one door closes, another opens; but we often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door that we do not see the one that has opened for us.
In the end, it's not going to matter how many breaths you took, but how many moments took your breath away.
Every day is a new chance to start new life,
God bless you!!!
