I was no different from anyone.
My heart is heavy putting together this painful post.

Why not just stop gambling?

It is not so straight forward for many like me.
Telling us to use willpower to stop gambling is like telling us to use willpower to stop diarrhea.
Many do not understand the terrible feeling we had when we are not gambling.
We suffered from craving and urge that was so hard to control and resist.
We are so desperate to stop, yet we are repeating these destructive patterns.
So it is not just about stopping; it is about addressing the mental distress that leads to our first bet.
