The effect on the brain from gambling is almost the same as from drugs and the more you do It, the more you need to to get the same high. I know it and we all know it and yet still we seem powerless. My nephew is an addict and we all try so hard to help him with whatever he needs to kick his habit, and after his wife just died from an overdose we all gathered to effectively try to turn his life around. I stand There, an addict myself, and no one knows. I need help but cannot ask. Like all of us, our overdose is financial ruin and no healing afterwards as we will just do it all over again. How far down is bottom for each of us? What do we finally have to sink to to decide that the reward we think we are getting is really a punishment in disguise? Do as much for yourself as you would be willing to expect any other addict to do to save their lives. It is really that bad.
