When do we "change"

How true it was for me.....

7 years back.... when I reached my rock bottom in my gambling career. .

I have lost everything....

Facing a broken family...
Devastated parent and wife..
Disgusted and disappointed frens
Lost my high profile job..
Going through bankrupt proceedings
And a jail term in front of me..

How painful can it be...
With so much shame and guilt...

That's was the time I realized that I have no more bullet to fight back..

I have to stop gambling ...

I need to change....

But before I could really start to change. ..

I have to deal with the pain....

It was so painful indeed...

And i wasn't happy then.... filled with so much pain and anger.. i didn't really change... I just stopped !!!

So how and when did the change start.....

This is what i did...
"Just stopped being angry" !!

Only i stopped being angry then i am able to learn how to be happy..

Then there's where changes will start to take place...
