All things considered I think I'm still playing with the vomity boobies. Not to undermine the severity of your situation.

But I didn't really spend much time analyzing my own behaviour. I didn't really spend time thinking what I'd been thinking when I did this and that, how everything had felt like.

And you know, that's all that matters. All of us screw up sometimes, some more majorly than others, but it's your thoughts that really make who you are. And in order to grow as a person you need to do a lot of self-acceptance. My actions and intentions have been nothing but pure ever since my crashing, but I've still had the ghost of my past somewhere in the back of my mind that I haven't really come to terms with.

Now, thanks to a beautiful, balanced relationship, a great circle of friends and having had my life in great shape for a long time, I've finally come to terms with everything and it feels extremely therapeutic to share it all. I don't give a **** about attention, and for the first time I don't feel ashamed talking about anything regarding my past. I remember an example from as little as six months ago when someone asked something regarding my past and I got incredibly panicky. These days, I just don't care, and I mean that in a good way. I just feel that in order to entirely be free of my past I need to make it all public, and that's how I ended up posting this all.


Holy crap what a ramble, I would've written #8 in that time. Sorry.
As weird as it sounds reading your material makes me so good. Its as if Im watching a film good film but its in a post on 2+2.

Im glad you expressed your stories with us, and actually quite relieved that youve said you didnt like the way you were. Since the stories you right are so well written you actually glamorize the situations in my eyes, and make me eager to actually do something on the lines of what you have done.

Anyway youve made me question whether I am doing enough with my life. I am a poker player too, have lived in Thailand and had fun times there but now I want to explore sooo much more - Youve help me realised that, so thanks!

The only problem is I want to have stories like yours (as they are so exciting), but the stories you have while are extraordinary, arent some I particularly want to be experiencing myself since they seem to be so extreme!

Anyway do you have any tips? (bit vague i know lol!) Also you seem to have a whole host of friends around the world - how did you get to meet them? (in Aussie you know a load of people but never said how you met them)

Thanks

Incredible story , I can relate to many parts of it (degen, gambling , debt , personal feelings ,) and right now I'm slowly working towards the parts I cant (epic partying , vegas , girls , success )

I've always had a passion for writing ,reading this makes me want to write my own story down , get all my thoughts out in black and white and off my chest , it is very therapeutic as you mention.

Good luck with all in the future , you sir, are an inspiration

I'm concerned that this is going to go down the path of blotkis, and OP will never return.

I bet OP isnt concerned though.

First off, really nice story telling - i was kinda sad when i saw i was done reading and didnt kno what else to read ):

I want to ask u a question, since i ve been looking to become a writer
as well since i was 5-6 years old. ( in german, not english ^^ )

If u had to decide between Poker and writing for lifetime, what wud it be?
How would it change if games where still as soft as 2005 or w/e and not
getting much harder to fast.


Would u advice me to either write or play Poker? I made a good fortune
with Poker for someone studieng computer science, which takes alot
time to be accomplished successfully. I once got on this trip were i
thought i could get multi millionaire or at least 7 figures by playing
poker as i was crushing midstakes HU within an heater. Then a lot ive
gone trough kinda reflects ur story as well, although i never went
wasting money in slot machines or roulette ^^ I know i have
potential and Poker seems a realistic way making some money at least
but it eats up so much time and it can be boring as well and if i try
to make it somehow, i ve to put all my time in it. This i obviously wont
do. I decided myself i shud invest my time in doing what i feel like
i really have to do: writing.
Is there anything u can say about it?

very nice thread, love it!
