I smoked cigarettes for 35 years. That addiction I was able to control as I quit over 25 years ago……but this gambling addiction to me is much more powerful . It is so hard for persons who arn’t addicted gamblers to uderstand the compulsion to gamble. As much as what I have read and have taken a gamblers addiction course it is still very hard to understand this monster…..just sayin

  frog in away my addiction too gambling served me too understand my adult child’s addiction too drugs. Had I not understood what addiction can do to a person I’m not so sure I’d of understood. Why my child just couldn’t stop cold turkey. My child has been free of drugs for over five years now. It was a real process for her to become free. Gambling is very similar or I guess any addiction. It takes time reasoning possibly psychological help. Support from family, friends or a group like GA.
  I don’t really understand why I fell into gambling for the better part of my life. I thought it was a really bad thing to be involved in. But I still discovered it.
  I really feel bad for all of us trying to be free from gambling the financial and physiological problems it has caused.
  I wish now I could see what three years forward will look like being bet free. .
