to answer your question it is a bit of both... you have to believe that there are somethings in your control but alot is destiny/luck/fate and out of your control... the trick is being able to distinguish which is which...
I am not sure what you are going through... but in addiction recovery the serenity prayer is based on this basic principle...  |

If our lives were predetermined, then someone would have to explain the kids that get cancer and die or the kids that die from starvation or the people that get murdered.
I sure as hell hope their lives weren't predetermined to end that way.

You do strike me as a guy that does a lot of praying and relying on others. Had you pegged to a T.

Are you going to prison or are you thinking about doing something to yourself, because your tone is ominous.
If this is just about quitting gambling (which you said it wasn't), that is fine but you should disclose that. |

Hmmmmmmmm.
What would be embarrassing, not gambling related, but you have to leave (at least for a while) ?
My top three guesses...
You got arrested for shoplifting at Victoria's Secret and you're going to jail?
You have three testicles and you're going into the hospital for an extended visit?
Your girlfriend caught you wacking off on a porn site and your computer privileges are revoked?
