It's hard to in that shoe when every kind of people deals with it. That is true that both rich and poor get to experience this and no one can skip it until they have recognized that they are the ones who are in control to stop addiction if they want to. The discipline that this requires is a lot and someone who's got through with so many problems aside from gambling addiction is hardly going to overcome this and the rich people are not exempted with that.
