Day 1: December 10, 2017

This is probably my 1,000th attempt to quit gambling. It is something that has plagued my entire family generation to generation. It is something I grew up yearning to do. I am going to make sure it ends with my generation. This time will be different. For day 1, I want to make my list of reasons to quit gambling that I will carry with me when I have weak moments.

1) Leaving the casino after losing, humiliating

2) Lying to Family and Friends.

3) Never win, Never had a winning year.

4) Short term wins, ALWAYS long term losses.

5) Debt will pile up, never will be financially free.

6) Time will never get back. 

7) DO NOT end up like my parents.

This will be a hard journey, if I can just go 1 week, 1 month, 1 year, 3 years, and 5 years... I still have a chance to retire young and live a full life.

I will be fully documenting this ride in this journal. I will talk about a few topics along the way that include the stuff I have learned on this unfortunate ride.
