Just want to say thanks for all the replies, and do to being surprised at all the close guesses on my situation. here you go...
wow, well i never thought i would be spilling out my guts here on prime as i am. But here i go... She's 24 I am 27. She loved me alittle more than i loved her In the beginning of the relaonship,i was the wild enough to shot at kind, in the beginning, she is more of the unpretentious stright arrow type. untill 2 years into the realtionship when after i cheated on her. I woke up and realized she was a girl that i want to spend the rest of my life with, and i wasn't going to let her go.( never cheated again ) And i started growing up alittle more from there on. Which at the same time i started to break free from a bad drug addiction, and that i am now 3 years clean from. I never had to quit drinking, i remained drinking socially. With the exception of this weekend where i was drunk both nights.
Moving through an addiction was the hardest thing i had to do. I really just made the decision that i didn't want to live like that anymore. Not to sound like i am better than other people that have used a program, or that use a program to stay stright. But i just woke up everday and made the decision not to live like that any more, and used the support of my family. And the biggest thing that elped me was having her there by my side the whole time.
Yes i am still pretty young and do not know what i want to do for the rest of my life.(As far as a career ) I work in a family drywall company.(Which i hate , and is the tank right now )she has about 10 months left of school untill she starts working as an occupational therapist. Starting out making as much as 80k a year. So what put her over the edge and made her say i have had enough ?
Poker. There i said it. I just recently had to give up playing poker, i have played poker for over 10 years and, i am very good as well. I am a winning palyer( If there is such a thing )I know i am good enough to play for a living. Though there's only one problem, beacuse i have addictive tendencies ( if thats the right term ) And poker is addictive. I started to get addicted, and i displaced the bad things that come with being addicted to something, lying, and stealing.It is different from the drug i was addicted to. It is way more control-able. I have been down the road of being addicted to something so it was easyer to stop this time. Only this time it was too late to keep her in the process.
It has taken a toll on my girlfriend. Yes i have put her threw alot of crap. And she is gone this time, and wants her space for the first time in over 5 years. So i guess i need to give it to her, and just except her offer on talking once of month ?
I was not planing on talking about to much of my situation here.( because i like my i-trader rating the way it is )
