How serious is gambling addiction ?
I can only talk from my own point of view but I've not taken it any less serious on any day over the last 206. Yes I'm still in early recovery but I hope that statement doesn't change in years to come. For me it would be a mistake to underestimate what I've always used to escape and if I do, then the door will be ajar followed by fully open and then it's all over.Â
I hear people who think they are cured after a few months, drift away from recovery and then come back in a bigger mess than ever before. I hear or people with years of abstinence who then succumb to the pull of the illness.Â
I'm not saying everyone should think like this but the one common denominator seems to be a perfect storm running with complacent.Â
As I don't feel I will ever be fixed or cured but instead just live with the sleeping dragon, then why would I risk not taking it seriously.Â
