It’s a precarious position to be in.
Little more than a piece of bad news away from LOSING IT ALL.
Imagine this:
You’re struggling with life in general.
You’re trying your best to “make a BETTER life”. But the harder you try, it only seems to get WORSE.
You job is shit and you hate it, your boss is a complete tool.
You work 12 hrs a day and are out of the house for up to 16hrs a day.
You have been doing this for years, and you can just about manage it, but you COLLAPSE every weekend and are just about ready to do it all again the following week.
-Coffee in the mornings to “get you going”.
-Booze in the evenings to “bring you down” to relax.
-You struggle to stay on top of the house work.
-You’re shouting more and more at the kids because you’re so tired when you finally see them at the end of the day.
-Your relationship with your partner is at an all time low, you never see each other.
^^^^^And to TOP ALL THAT OFF ^^^^^
You find out your husband is addicted to online gambling and has lost £30k of your money.
This all really happened.
And it was the final straw.
Divorce followed. Jobs were lost. A family was separated.
Speaking to the lady involved, with hindsight she said:
“if our lives weren’t already at breaking point, we could maybe have got through it, but the gambling was the final NAIL IN THE COFFIN for me.”
She said:
“I realised later that our lives had been one piece of bad news away from breaking point for years”.
But they never tried to change things until it was too late.
So that’s my message to you today, if you know things are not right in your home life, job, relationships, body, don’t leave it too late to try and fix it, as there might not be anything left to fix.
