all my life i have been told that what i do today will determine my tomorrow. my daddy was a strict man. he never let us go hungry, but he loved to whip ass. and while he was whipping ass, he would tell you wisdom at the same time. well all those ass whipping, and all that wisdom was not enough to stop me from getting hooked on horse race gambling. man i love it with a passion. from the first bet that i won by the way, till even today my heart race when i see the kentucky derby commercial come on. but as of 1-1-09, i have quit gambling. it has been very hard. i think it is now or never for me, and that is how i am taking it. this love has cheated on me, taken my hard earned money, and on top on that, she ain't coming back to me to say here is your money back. this my new family is war for me. i must not let her back into my life, i must resist this devil until she flees for good. this i must do because my life depends on it. pray for me my new family, and i will pray for you as well. together we will prevail, because there are strength in numbers. i pray everyday to god for mercy, because i know that he is greater than this gambling problem.
