We have an incurable disease called addiction which is chronic, progressive and fatal.

However, it is a treatable disease but many times, we had to reach our bottom before we became willing to stop.

We were much more motivated to seek help in the latter stage of our addiction when it was easier for us to see the destruction, disaster and delusion of our addiction. It was harder to deny our addiction when problems were staring us in the face.

How we got the disease is of no immediate importance to us.
We are concerned with recovery.
We begin to treat our addiction by not gambling.
