It got me thinking whether people think that gambling success stories can only be if you recover from gambling? Is that really the end goal? To rid of gambling as an activity?
Someone got addicted into something that can ruin his life but he stopped to be addicted to it. That is a good success story. The reason some people that supposed to be successful do not successful is because they are getting something wrong and that thing is affecting them financially. It is more than a success to to people.
It is good to gamble in a way that is responsible and not get addicted at all.
This is actually a success story and most people don't realize this, they think it's all about winning a significant amount of money from that makes a person successful with it...but it's a win if you are someone that has stopped after losing for a long time, the only way to win is to stop, this is something that a recovered gambler would say but an addicted gambler wouldn't see it that way, they would continue to push their luck
