If you ask me, I will be honest and give myself as an example so that people will believe that it's a bad idea to take a loan, it's not a sign of weakness if you admit your past mistakes.
How about you? How do you see yourself?
I will be honest like yourself and share my honest experience taking loans. I will emphasize that it was a stupid thing and did and I managed to get lucky. I will also share some other examples of other people who did the same loan for gambling and it didn't turn out the way they expected it to. However, before I share this story, if it were just once I did this, I will not share but if it were multiple times, then I'll share it.
And it just shows that gamblers are that kind of people who don't want others to fall for the gambling addiction. We are willing to share our stories and experiences, even at times that we might be ashamed, but that is the truth, as some point in our lives, we are in the lowest because of gambling.
If I'm not mistaken, those who are in the gambling hotline, those who answered and advises are people who have went into this experience and recover. This time, they want to extend their help that's why they volunteer to have in the hotline and listen as they can relate and give sound counselling.
