So I spontaneously left my job in September with the intention of finding a new one within a couple of weeks of leaving at the very latest.... Well that was the plan. I made the decision following a year of just feeling like EVERYTHING in my life needed changing! You see, I blamed my unhappiness on everything and everyone and i realise now that I was trying to make changes in all the wrong places and now here I am, jobless, gambling more than I earn and have reached my last penny and reached my credit limits and lenders who will give me any loan whatsoever! I am ashamed and yet I feel that's what I need, to admit that I lost my job and my relationship because I believed that they no longer made me happy when in reality, I was unhappy because of the financial mess I got myself into and have ONLY just realised it. I made excuses time after time and always believed that gambling was OK because everyone has their habits. But mine cost me. Don't feel too sorry for me though, I chose to lose what I did but I am a mum to a 4 year old and that's when it hurts to think how irresponsible I've been. Where do I start? I mean seriously.
