Will You Agree To Publicize Your Journey From Being Chronic Gambler

[sunsilk]

I would be glad that I'll be able to overcome it but since it can affect my personal life, I would request that using an alias will be on the contract but if they decline.

Then I have no choice but to publish my story to inspire others. The purpose would be informing the people that there's a solution to the same problem that others might be tackling at the current time. It's an interesting insight, I might even say no to the payment but if it's a honorarium then, okay.

Only a few would really have that kind of passion on sharing its experience to others so that you would able to inspire them into your own chronic gambling experiences.

Yet majority would really like to be paid on everything they do and this would include this experience sharing.Privacy will vary on each one since some are too concern with
their privacy and some doesn't really care at all.

I don't see something wrong about the privacy since you've just overcomed that struggle and you should be proud of yourself. I wouldn't mind what will be the people near me think about it but as long as it can inspire others who's in the same struggle, that would be great.

I guess others don't want to share it because it's something personal to them and I also understand that part. It's not about being shy but it's something within their personal thought that things like this should be kept privately.

There are really things that should really be kept privately and people are different in terms of their own personal lives.
Some might consider on sharing up and some would just decide to keep it for themselves without minding if they would able to
inspire others or not.The most important thing is that they do able to resolved out their problem towards addiction.

[akmal1984]

I certainly agree. Because maybe the experience I've experienced might be able to inspire others. Because I see it is not easy to reduce addiction from playing gambling. It certainly requires commitment and strong self-discipline and must be done continuously. will definitely be a very inspiring story

[onrise]

I think many would do this beacuse generally it is like a biopic that would be released and you would also get lost of money. Also it was past and how you recovered could be a positive sign and inspirational for others so many would do it.

[Tungsten-1]

Maybe I will agree, but I have to know what the ultimate goal is. Do they want to benefit ?
If indeed they want to make a profit through my life story, then I want them to make a contract where the results can be enjoyed. IMO, this is fair.

That was a nice deal. I really don't think that anyone is looking to write articles or stuff about experiences of chronic gamblers and then get money out of it. The main purpose is to save others from doing same blunders and help those who want to leave this game. It will help the addicts. It is not an easy task to shake off old habits. Gambling addicts find to get rid of this game even after realizing its fatal outcomes.

Not everything should be done because of money though. The money will be spent but the influence it leaves will still linger on. Not that its actually bad been a chronic gambler (at least it's far better than being a murderer) but society tends to put fingers.
If such thing ever happen to me, I would give out the story but anonymously. Many true life stories that are published use that method.

Yes, we're not blended together with the same stand regarding each issue and situation. Some like me, wouldn't think of other things and it's literally okay to share it for the sake of other people who are dealing with the same hardship.

While for others, it's an important matter to them and just want to keep it to themselves and doesn't want to ruin their privacy. Both matters but yes, the most important matter is both sides overcome this problem.

It's not about earning money but rather about helping others to not make the same mistakes you did in the past. If you are well known public figure, your name and your photo on the book cover would help to get a wider audience for the book. Otherwise there's no need for disclosing your identity, unless you yourself want the fame.

maybe what you mean by that highlighted words is "Lots Of Money"?and not Lost of money.but anyway let correction stays behind.

thats it,our past is the mirror of today so let others know what you have in past so they might use as guidance and pattern for what they can be in future right?its helping them learn what would happen if they choose the wrong path in gambling.

I appreciate trying to help others to overcome their addiction in gambling, and I can see addicted gamblers laughing at you when you are telling your stories in TV or any social media platform, if this is going to happen in the future, I'm just being honest and more realistic here.

My point here is that you can't help other people who don't help themselves as well, it depends on them if they are going to quit gambling or not.

You are once a chronic gambler but with the help of a professional you are now totally cured, then a publisher offers you to publicize your journey from being a chronic gambler to a cured one, but of course, everything could be exposed like your habit experiences, your agony and even your personal life, will you agree to do this, of course the publisher will pay you for the story that you are going to provide.

Well, you can always use pseudo names and remain pseudonymous right? As far as I know, every such stories that are told, real names are never revealed. Even their locations and all private information are altered and some fillers are added so that no one can know who they are. I would agree if they allow me to remain pseudonymous. After all, you can make something out of your story  .

[leea-1334]

If I could help even 1 person recover from addiction,,, then for sure I definitely would. I am not a big gambler, thankfully,,, I do enjoy losing a a little money every now and then;)

But I keep my habits to small and same wagers here and there with pocket money,,, I probably would have saved a lot of money if I did NOT gamble, but then again I could have worse habits. And who knows one day I win some big jackpot that changes my life?

But if I became addicted and recovered? I for sure would agree to share. In the hopes to help someone we should always agree.

Good for you , i wish you to never fall into addiction, you are part of those 1% rare people .

Realistically it would always about money especially for those who struggle making one as long as it makes sense for your or even a fantastic amount of money offered like it would sufficient to covers your living cost for 10 years for instance.... why you should refuse it?  .
But ideally it shouldn't be like that , for those people who are not materialistic... making an impact by Sharing a great story would be more than receiving thousands dollar to make you happy which it's rare nowadays unfortunately.

We all have a story to tell, whether good or bad, and some of our experiences in life could be a savior to some people if told publicly, so sure, why would I not share my story to help someone comes out of that addicted gambling except maybe in my story, some of them could implicate me to go to jail, which I know that we are too wise as humans not to find a way around it and still share pour story without mentioning that particular one even if I dint have to be paid for it.

Now that it involves money, which will be the one that would even motivate me the most to quickly go tell my story to the world. I get to earn some money from that and at the same time I get to teach some people some experiences of life which is meant to be the best teacher for all.

In my own opinion in that situation, i would kindly accept the publisher offers to publicize my experiences being a chronic gambler because they could learn a lot of things from me, so they could not experienced my bad experiences about gambling. I also think i will not be embarrassed from that because i could be a good example for children who are curious about gambling.

[iamsheikhadil]

My story is kinda similar, except I didn't make "huge" losses and no professional helped me, it was me teaching myself. But yeah, if one wanna publish the story which surely includes me being insulted for gambling away friends and families money, being into debts etc, I am fully to it. Gambling is a lie and a mistake, not a immoral crime that I should be scared to expose human beings are greedy by nature

I think it is not really a bad idea to share your journey in gambling most especially if theres something in that journey that can probably enlighten or help those gamblers having difficulties battling with addiction. We are not perfect people thus, we make mistakes but the most important things is the learnings that we’re able to get from tat mistake or journey. I don’t gamble much and haven’t helped anyone but gambling stories of others helped me in making sure i’m in control with gambling.

[nakamura12]

If someone willing to pay few thousand dollars then most people will have no problem with it. Yes it could damage our personal image but our story can inspire lot of other addicted gamblers so they are going to get better life from your experience.So just accept the offer it is good,don't just go for few hundreds,I don't think its worth.

If someone really is willing to pay money just to have a person who is willing to publicize his/her journey from being chronic gambler then that person won't have such problem finding someone that is a chronic gambler before since he/she can earn money from it. It is also much better that the person who is willing to publicize his/her will be anonymous like their personal name and other information except his/her identity in social media or other platform because some may prefer being anonymous and some don't.

I guess yes! People learn from mistakes more than therapy. If an addict talks with a former addict, they will learn more and will become less addict than just going to therapists and those who will just say to him "hey, don't gamble, it's baaaad". Experience is indeed the best teacher of life buddy.

If you have already shared with your loved ones this story then it is not that difficult to share with publisher and let the world know about your journey and how you overcame it and might be many would be inspired with it .
