I did NOT gamble.. and i left the house....i took a day off. boys, you MUST MUST try this.. i decided just like that to take a day off. it was a great feeling.. decided to take the GF out shopping, just walk around, and eat out.. i never seen her so happy in my life like this.. i never take her anywhere. boys, i swear, i cannot sit here and describe to you the feeling i had. not once checking scores, not once even thinking who is winning.. i did not care. i had no stress, i did not check scores in car every 2 min.. i did not ignore her like usual... i was free.. i did not say FUKK out loud in the car and punch the steering wheel every 3 min when a score was not good.. i did not tell the GF off once or tell her to shut up.. i was so nice to her. she told me she'd never seen me like this before so nice to her. she was asking.. why can't you always be like this?? she loved this nicky santoro.
boys, i swear, food tasted better, i had tons of energy.. i even ate a salad and salmon, instead of the usual burger king, mcd's, or pizza when i gamble. i was sooo relaxed. we even talked for 1.5 hrs straight without me interrupting her or saying i want to go, or pretend i was listening and check scores at same time...it was like i was another guy. i was interested, because i had no gambling on my mind..it felt weird not having action, but it felt great too. i was calm, not hyper. i became a good listener and interested in life, and what others had to say, unlike now.. i did not smack the GF across the back of the head once, like i do each day.. i was a great guy.. i never yelled at her once because of a bad score. i watched a movie too. the last movie i watched was in 2001... i came home and saw NCAAF game and didn't even care. i turned the channel.. when i was in the car and they were saying scores of NHL games, i did not even care. i turned to a music channel. this never happened before.
boys, the point of all this is you guys that gamble each day, you have no idea what you are missing. life was great without it for 1 day. it really recharged my batteries. you all should try it.. it's really great not to have to think of this for 1 day.. you feel so relaxed and not edgy and pissed all the time. bottom line is, i learned that gambling really does control my life. it is no different than a crack addict needing his crack each night.
i wish i never gambled, it's really a shitty life when you do. it controls you.. it ruins your health.. i actually became social and was talking to people and was charming and made a salesgirl laugh.. i think she liked me. i think she found good ol nicky santoro amusing.. i was myself for the 1st time, i didn't have gambling on the back of my head, or thinking if celtics can come back from a 1 pt deficit at halftime and cover the -10.5.. and not in a rush to get home to put on game..
boys, i want you all to take a day off and go out and don't think of the games at all. and i promise you you will all say, nicky, you're a genius.. it changes you completely. you become a better person and yourself and others will notice. you will feel so relaxed.. i did not recognize myself that day..
try it..

Sounds like my life most of the time. I wish I gambled as a career and gambled thousands a day. But, seems like it would be stressful as I'm stress free right now betting 20-30 bucks a day.
