IDI
I agree with you that none of us want to stop….we to HAVE stop. Even with the occasional, or even prolonged responsible gambling, there will be the inevitable blow up which will bring us back to the pain we hope to stop. Even simple minimal losses add up to be huge amounts of money. Casinos have made billions on little losses. Look at penny slots, seem harmless enough, but “affordable losses” become huge gains for the bookmakers. The big winners (betting big because of our issues) always lose even bigger.
The only true winner is someone who doesn’t play. I want to be a winner, but I sure miss playing.
