Dose of Reality

I went to the funeral today of a cousin whom I have grown up with. He was just shy of his 60th birthday. He was in failing health and died of a massive heart attack. There was lots of people who came for both the wake and funeral. It was heartbreaking to see his kids, wife, brothers, sisters and other cousins who were in mourning and could not stop crying.All this made me stop and think....................why the hell am I wasting my short life away by gambling? All gambling does is waste my time and money, ruin my health mentally and physically. How can I honestly think that gambling will fullfill all of life's needs, wants and desires? I have been lazy and have had a couple of minor setbacks, but, after this, I am to take a different attitude towards my everyday handling of life's events.I hope that I do not slip up,so, I will be checking in and writing more often than I have been.Thanks for letting me get this off my chest.
