“Actions are louder , it really is true
So rather than words think, “What can I do?”
…………………………………………………………..
I can quash the first thought
I can “stomp on the bug”
Postpone the next bet
and withdraw from the “drug”
I can then call a friend
Tell them what I intend
And remind myself always
Where gambling will end!
Do things differently
Look for new company
Be accountable, honest,
To you and to me
I can hand over cash
Put credit cards in the trash
Surrender my car keys
Go down on my knees
To pray or scrub floors
Whatever it takes
To keep me from making
More stupid mistakes!
Examine the tools
That I got from GT
To find out which one
Today is for me
I have no more excuses
To use fancy words
It’s time now for ACTION
(GAMBLING IS FOR NERDS!)
