I’ll stop one day I know I will,

Those words I’d say, I remember them still

One day soon but not today,

I’ve got to make those bookies pay

“One day soon” became weeks, months, years

Stopping sooner would have avoided those tears

I couldn’t do it, not on my own

Before I knew it, time had flown

Then I’d say “I wish I had then”

Only to keep on doing it again

Using support was the only way how

I managed to stop and focus on now

Then finally the penny did drop

NOW is always the best time to stop
