My story
What is the story, exactly? Where do I begin? The story of be better is knowing that things I have done, said, and believed in, were not serving me.
The story of bebetter begins in 2018, when I was engulfed in an out of control gambling addiction. I would work all week just to go to the casino and spend all of my earnings on the slot machines.
My gambling was not an issue from the first time I went to a casino, it was a steady progression of temptation. I first started gambling in 2015 when my dad invited me for some free hotel stays at a casino in the Wisconsin dells. My dad would play blackjack very conservatively. He would only play a bill or 2 and always walked away even or ahead, and he was done for the night. I started to play the slots and became ever more imussed by the wins and the instant gratification. I began skipping class at university to go to the casinos, lying to my family and friends, began revolving my life around gambling. After I graduated college I continued the same addiction. One day, I woke up and thought to myself, You are better than this. You don't need to do this. This is not your life. This is where the idea of be better began for me.
The thought of creating a lifestyle about being better began to take place in my imagination. I wanted to create my own brand and lifestyle around this philosophy. I desired to help myself, help others, and help the world.
