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
The truth is, most people believe that winning is the actual thing when talking about success stories in gambling, I almost believed it to be true not until I first saw an article that talked about the success story of a gambling addict who became free of the addiction after battling with it for a long timetime, but when a responsible gambler is talking about their own success story, I believe they could be referring to their winning.
Winning is secondary when it comes to success stories because that can be achieved by anyone. The most difficult thing is overcoming gambling addiction and self improvement. People only get interested in stories that have to do with gamblers winning huge amounts of money forgetting that those wins can still be lost in a day. The most important thing is to stop losing totally and this can happen when you quit
