   When your out of control, gambling can slowly peal off the layers of what was important to you without even realizing what happened. The first thing you must realize is that you can’t get rich gambling. Gambling will always be a 50/50 chance and winning is not guarantee or sure. Challenge yourself, not everyone pays their bill on time. Work on shaping up your financial life. Set a few goals, if you make them, you will get the same rush you did in gambling. A win is a win.
