How it starts
It started as fun with the guys.
Twenty bucks on the game. Everyone was doing it.
Then it stopped being fun.
The bets got bigger. The room got quiet. Just you and the app that never closes.
You said you had it handled.
You're young. There's time, everyone said. But the nights kept disappearing.
Asking for help isn't the end.
It's the plot twist. Someone your age had already found the way back.
You got the years back.
Not by quitting everything. By quitting the one thing that was quitting on you.
