Hello
So I was going through a story of a girl who literally stole 70,000 Euros to Gamble apparently it all started when she invested 20 Euro and won a thousand and since then she became addicted to easy money.
It made me realize that every now and then there is someone here sharing their addiction stories and it might help to have a particular thread for them to keep all the sources which could help them get their life straight again..
Here is a quote from BBC :-

She is lucky to win thousands of dollars on a $20 investment on her first online venture, but with no one to guide her or not properly educated on the risk of gambling that was such a bad start, she thinks that she has what it takes to win more and if she losses, she thinks that she can come back and recover all her losses, which we all know is bad thinking and denial for compulsive gamblers, she really needs all the help that she could get, we also have a local Gambling Helpline, I guess all country where gambling is legal have one, they just have to Google it many of them have their own website for easy reach.
