I don't think it was THAT bad. You can have multiple favorite times in a day, at least. Anyway, I think the only time I lied was during my early days? As I've shared before I was playing poker already with my friends back in hs, and was in a relationship. My partner abhorred the idea of me gambling (or at least, gambling with money, not poker itself) so whenever I was playing, I always told her that we were just playing with cards, no money involved. There came a point though where I was caught red handed so had no choice but to confess
. Naturally I had to stop but eh, we eventually broke up and here I am gambling again. Gambling affects you as a person and gradually everything around you,, you will lose a lot of good relationships, of all the addictions in the world it's the worst, a close friend of mine that was about to get married to his finance but she called off the wedding due to his gambling addiction, few months later he lost his job cause he was caught using some clients money to gamble, I've had my own terrible experiences as well, I'm also a gambler but all I can say is you should try to fight it and restrict yourself
