You are once a chronic gambler but with the help of a professional you are now totally cured, then a publisher offers you to publicize your journey from being a chronic gambler to a cured one, but of course, everything could be exposed like your habit experiences, your agony and even your personal life, will you agree to do this, of course the publisher will pay you for the story that you are going to provide.
I will have to consult my family first before making a decision, of course, I want to have an approval on the storyline, I don't want to be pictured as a guy who is out of his mind, I just want someone to be portrayed as a guy who gets back on his feet with the help of his family.
Personally, I would decline the offer. The awareness my story could provide the general public could definitely redeem my mishaps on my gambling journey, but I have to value my privacy morethan anything else. Especially with these kinds of sensitive topics. That being said, I don't want my info or my life getting meddled by everyone, so I prefer keeping my identity a secret and secretly thanking the people who have worked tirelessly to get me back on the right track instead of publicizing everything and putting my dignity and privacy in the line.
This is just my own opinion, you might find this helpful too or something that should just be curbed.
