In this forum and other forums where gambling is one of the topics of discussion, one of the recurrent topics is people who write about how their gambling addiction has ruined their lives. We usually encounter topics like "Gambling ruined my life," "I lost all my life savings to gambling," "I gambled away my entire salary," etc. Then they go on to tell a sad tale. It makes me wonder: why do gamblers tend to wait until they have suffered a catastrophic loss or a string of losses before quitting or seeking help?
Because they realize how worst their decision can be only after it happens and we may see these and just move on to other ones but if one day it happened to us then it will become a life lesson and we can't forget it simply so sharing their story might give some relief to them and they hope others don't make a mistake they did.
"Too much of anything is good for nothing" which will suits for anything and everything so don't get anything too far.
