Thee are many gambling stories out there, some good , some sad yet we still make new addicts every day. I don't think the sad stories alone will get future addicts to stop but rather the society must offer hope such that if I know I can earn say 50$ by washing plates for 48 hours I will rather make my 50$ that way and not through gambling.

In washing plates you are sure you will be getting 50$ but in gambling either you can make the same amount or lose out completely depending upon the luck and the game which you will bet on. People who have excess and lose out is fine but for needy it is quite bad.

We cannot equate gambling with formal work, even though I am not a gambler but I feel gamblers have chosen their way of life as possible, because they know how bad gambling if they lose, and from that loss they continue to gamble and keep trying to earn / seek profit from gambling even though they realize it is very difficult.

Gambling story will always be a sad story because gambling itself is bad thing and the related stories will also be bad. You cannot expect something good from gambling and gamblers. Both are ulcer for the society. I have also many gambling stories but not my own because I am not gambler and I think that gambling is the worst thing in the world and I cannot waste my money and time in gambling.
