If you recover from gambling addiction, it's enough to call it a success story. When you also made a large win after years of winning peanuts and steady losses in gambling, it could also be considered a gambling success story.
If there is any user which I can recall about his or her gambling success story, it should be @GxSTxV. I have read a story about the user here in the forum shared by himself and how he was able to handle and come out of addiction; such a story is a success story. Once you pull off from something which is as rough as stable losing and addiction, it should be celebrated.
Thank you for the mention. I really liked the topic about recalling successful stories from people's gambling journey. I personally believe that as long as someone enjoys gambling responsibly and either manages to win a good amount or fights and win a struggle with addiction, both are valuable types of success.
I would like also adding this, with my current mindset and experience, if I had to choose between winning a large amount while staying addicted or simply breaking free from addiction as I have now, I will choose the second choice every time. Addiction is really difficult as it slowly takes away everything good in your life without you even noticing. Sometimes it’s too late before you realize how deep you are, and even when you do the moment any sum of money comes into your hands, you might find yourself back at a casino playing for hours without knowing how you started again.
Gambling should be a source of limited entertainment, something that doesn’t harm you financially or interfere with your time and responsibilities. Each person who is still gambling for years, but never went through addiction, harmed himself financially, made sure to manage time and never chose between gambling and family: it should also be a successful story.
Btw, I'm a he, Gustav
