“Rock bottom” would sound a bit more polite (HA!)
Perhaps more effective and less of a fright
Ridiculous ventures, risky plans and the like
Such things are no longer part of my psych.
While avoiding the “A” word that rhymes with “sparse”
Remember that gambling is all a F A R C E!!

Great poems, Shaun
Now that we know what gambling does to us, let’s kiss it goodbye and walk away

love your poem, Charles.

At the core of all deception
Lies a lack of self reflection
On our attitudes, behaviours and beliefs.
False interpretation and irrational correlation
Lead to lies, illusions, notions and deceit.
‘Til you overcome this practice
And pursue alternate tactics
Such as openness, awareness and clear truth
You will need to seek contrition
Accept change and opposition
To a lifestyle you decided to create
When you chose then, to continue
The deceit that lay within you
And resigned to attribute it to “fate”.
Call it lies, untruth or rumour
We know that we just humour
Our illusions when we try to fabricate.
But before we try to figure ways to stop this growing bigger
Let’s be honest with each other and ourselves
Even though the truth may hurt us-(lies will make our lives seem worthless)
Let’s get ready for self searching and deep delves!

This Old Hen
Knows how to duck
And she doesn’t believe
“Where there’s muck, there’s luck”!
Charles, we don’t need “luck”
To move forward in Life
But we need a new mindset
When gambling is rife.
Hen/bird poop or lucky black cats
Are all a myth , we know the facts.
Every G venue that I frequent
Provides sufficient excrement!

Great description of Recovery, Brave!
