🚨 The Day I Quit Gambling and Alcohol—For Good 🚨
They don’t make wise, rational choices. These inner child parts—the ones running the show when we drink, gamble, binge, and scroll—aren’t strategists. They don’t think ahead. They react, they chase, they grasp at control.
That’s why I bet beyond my bankroll. Ate junk food I didn’t even like. Bought shit I didn’t need.
It was never about the money. It was about control. Trying to soothe something inside me that alcohol had numbed but never healed.
When I quit drinking at 35, I thought that was the big boss battle. But lurking in the shadows was another problem, bound to my drinking like handcuffs. And the moment I let go of alcohol, gambling disappeared effortlessly.

✅ Why alcohol and gambling are more connected than you think.
✅ How alcohol keeps you stuck in a cycle of impulsive, self-destructive choices.
