I can't keep chasing this winning streak to the poorhouse. Every time I hit the tables, I think, 'This is my chance to turn things around,' but it always ends the same way - I blow my entire bankroll chasing losses like a fool. I'm tired of playing so conservatively. I've worked hard for my money only to squander it at the casino every time. Sure, it's exciting when I'm ahead, but I always manage to find a way to lose it all back. Lately, I can't even enjoy a decent meal without thinking about the better ways that money could have been spent. My dreams are just fantasies of hitting a big win, but I always wake up disappointed. I'm done playing these mind games with myself. I'm putting an end to this draining addiction before I lose what little self-respect I have left. No more gambling - this time, I'm stepping away for good.
