Will You Agree To Publicize Your Journey From Being Chronic Gambler

[smyslov]

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.

I will have to consult my family first before making a decision, of course, I want to have an approval on the storyline, I don't want to be pictured as a guy who is out of his mind, I just want someone to be portrayed as a guy who gets back on his feet with the help of his family.

It's always better to accept your situation and share your mistakes so that other may not fall on the same ditch. It's okay to talk about the bad things you left behind.
But it's also really difficult to say when you are not actually in that situation. The payment seems to be good when you haven't walked on their shoes and things would be different depending on the environment they are from and the family they are in.

Sharing your gambling journey is a good way to help people realize how gambling may affect their lives. If i'm in that situation, I will grab that opportunity to enlighten people but i'm going to do it as long as i'm ready and I fully accepted my past. I will consider my feelings because I know how difficult it is to surpass that kind of challenge. Your experiences can change someone's life, it can teach them different life lesson that they can use to keep themselves away from the same situation. It can make an impact on their perspective and decision making because they know how it affects you. If they acquire the lesson from your journey then it is possible that they will use it as a thing to consider before making any choices that may change their life.

Personally, I would decline the offer. The awareness my story could provide the general public could definitely redeem my mishaps on my gambling journey, but I have to value my privacy morethan anything else. Especially with these kinds of sensitive topics. That being said, I don't want my info or my life getting meddled by everyone, so I prefer keeping my identity a secret and secretly thanking the people who have worked tirelessly to get me back on the right track instead of publicizing everything and putting my dignity and privacy in the line.

This is just my own opinion, you might find this helpful too or something that should just be curbed.

[FlightyPouch]

I will, that is something that people should be aware of. I will be telling what happened with my life and how I turned that upsidedown. People should be aware that there is a way to stop your addiction and I will be an example to it.

But what's the point?

There are thousands, if not millions, obsessive gamblers around the world, and some of them have successfully quit, with or without the professional help. What is in your story so amazing as well as enlightening that would make it different from a multitude of other such stories and worth publishing? If you really were one of a kind, you would already be famous in some form. Then, there would be no need to hide your identity, right?

[Janation]

I don't know but I think I could accept the offer if he would not publicize my identity.

It may be an interesting story but I don't want to be that popular. I could just lay out my story, it may be an interesting or an amazing story I would tell the whole and true story. If he will not be publicizing my identity, I will not accept that payment as long as he followed what we had agreed on, that is enough.

There are just people who are not into publicity and that is totally fine. Everyone hides a side of their personality that they do not want to be known by other people. Although it would be a help since identity would make a literature more realistic, the decision still of the main person should be regarded.

It is not about making story good or make it realistic.

The problem is that people usually communicate with you after those interviews. It is great if people are wanting to ask for some advice or suggestions as someone that already went through with it but most them are harassments like stories being fake and being so over-dramatic for the purpose of entertainment. I shared my life so that they could be aware how hard was it and because it is possible to be avoided not because I should be harassed by the people telling me I am a fraud.

I am not a chronic gambler.. but if I am a former chronic gambler who has recovered then I will be happy to tell my experience recovering from gambling addiction.  I know my experience won't be able to change the world, but it will definitely change the lives of some gambling addicts, so that they are more able to control themselves.

And that is more than enough to at least save 1 addict to have a good life and make a new one.
we knew how hard to become a gambler so what more if you are an addict?

telling others about your experience and struggle to survive leaving addicting is one journey that will be look up by other gamblers because the very moment they read your story will bring tears to their eyes and may at least tell them to try stopping for their family and for their love ones.

Great, at least, you care with your family because once your story is going to be publicized, people will know who you are, but maybe you can ask that media to hide your real identity. With doing that, I guess that you still have your lives with your family, and they will not get disturbed by the other media news. They can do their usual activity without having a problem because you don't tell all of your lives to the media.

It is possible to write an article with anonymous identities If one wishes. Like the name withheld type of writings.  But I guess this topic is more for the non-anonymous type of writings. Be aware though that most gamblers will end up in a loss if they continue the normal trend. But there will be some who are wise enough to stop and make the most of the money.

Stories are often paid promotional content from casino owners as well. Don't trust the stuff posted in media always, they are often suited to provoke people into doing something.

I never trust such stories because most of them are self made to encourage people to gamble or make people believe that gambling is not an addicted game and even if you are addicted  you can be cured too. The fact is that gambling is very risky game and it is impossible to get cure from gambling addiction. Even if you get cured, most of the cases, its too late for you that you have already lost most part of your money.

I think the help of professionals is not what this thread is all about and OP has just exaggerating in that part,maybe he means if a gambler totally stopped even what kind of help he Got.

And also what’s important here is the chance of others to hear the story of Addicted gamblers and those are very thing we need here.

Because those words will surely inspiring and may dedicated for the other addicted that wanted to quit but no support from others.

I would love to go on a similar story. I believe that people should always share similar stories, because this reveals their life experience to other people, which will allow other people to look at themselves and their problems in a new way. Many people hide their stories for fear of judgment, but if you can cope with your problem, hiding your success from other people is a crime.

True that. People see casino advertisements and winners testimonials of a huge lottery win but forget the fact that equally same number of people lost the ticket price and actually contributed to that person's win. It is a game or luck and because people like to play with their luck they want to gamble which leads to addiction.

Now most people are not aware of the bad effects of gambling because very few people actually show the debts that gamblers go into or the social problems of gambling. I am not saying that everyone falls into such problems but many do.
