1. How did you find yourself ending up to become an addict? What instigated it to the point that you just found yourself not being able to control the impulse any longer? What was the feeling like and during those period of being an addict, did you know and were you willing to pop out of it?
There's this site that I always visit and it became part of my daily routine. I started playing the time that I started earning, I used my profit in gambling, and when I have no funds, I even seek loans, these are the moments like you can't live without gambling. Until I reached the point that I can't pay my loans anymore. I'm really regretful, but still didn't stopped. Luckily I am able to pay my loans. That's the time I started saving, but sometimes, I still greed to win until I loss a lot.

2. What were the steps you took or the steps you are taking to get out from it, and on the scale of 1 to 10, how can you rate how you are doing now?
You can't remove your addiction instantly, you need to do it little by little. The first thing I did is to convert my cryptocurrencies to fiat, but it's also regretful as you just don't know if the price will go high. But at least, it helped me a little bit. But after some time, instead of converting fiat to crypto, I just seek for loans again, but am more careful now. Right now, I can somehow control myself.

3. For those who are out of it, do you still gamble or still wish you could? In the case where you are still gambling, how do you want to make sure what happened initially does not end up repeating itself.
Again, I can somehow control myself now. Less loans, less deposit on gambling sites, save more, convert to fiat if I need to.
