I was an addict before and I suffered many losses. It was depressing but the depression was not lasting more than few hours and I will forget about it, but it was not just a good thing at all to be losing.
I now prefer to gamble not often and using small amount of money for it which is better. I noticed that I significantly not gambling like before.
These type of stories are more important than the ones people share about winning huge amounts of money, this is also a win. They usually say you would never win if you quit but it's the opposite actually, the day you quit you have won. You did something that a lot of people are currently finding it difficult to do. It takes a lot of efforts to curb irresponsible gambling, no matter how you little you think it is you made progress
