Great, at least, you care with your family because once your story is going to be publicized, people will know who you are, but maybe you can ask that media to hide your real identity. With doing that, I guess that you still have your lives with your family, and they will not get disturbed by the other media news. They can do their usual activity without having a problem because you don't tell all of your lives to the media.
It is possible to write an article with anonymous identities If one wishes. Like the name withheld type of writings. But I guess this topic is more for the non-anonymous type of writings. Be aware though that most gamblers will end up in a loss if they continue the normal trend. But there will be some who are wise enough to stop and make the most of the money.
Stories are often paid promotional content from casino owners as well. Don't trust the stuff posted in media always, they are often suited to provoke people into doing something.
I never trust such stories because most of them are self made to encourage people to gamble or make people believe that gambling is not an addicted game and even if you are addicted you can be cured too. The fact is that gambling is very risky game and it is impossible to get cure from gambling addiction. Even if you get cured, most of the cases, its too late for you that you have already lost most part of your money.
