"sometimes when you win, you lose"

sometimes when you win you actually lose. when you think the situation you just went through is over it' really is not because something else comes along and knocks you down and you fall again. you think it's over but it really isn't they say that it is only the beginning. when you actually think you won you lost like when you won your way into smoking pot in order to win by gaining friends the situation actually gets worse. you lie and cheat and make up excuses and then you lose everything. no one wants to be around you because you have an addiction that you cannot control and then you lose everything and everyone around because you think you won but the truth is that you really lost. When you think you won and by gambling in a casino and you become so amazed at it and you think that if you just keep gambling that you will keep winning you just can't stop you have wasted all your money, energy, and time on trying to win but you lost. You lost your life and your family due to this nasty habit that has clung on to you like a branch on a tree. you can't contain yourself and then you realize that you really lost is when you lost everything that you had and worked so hard for. That is what it truly means when sometimes when you win you lose. Like smoking a cigarette every puff you take is a lost to your life a lost to every moment in your life and now has been wasted on a single pack of cigarettes.
