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?  Grin .
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.

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  Wink.

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.

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.

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. Smiley

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.

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.
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 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.
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.

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.

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

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.

If they are not going to put you in a bad light, and you will end up a good person in the end plus there is money involved why not, you can help other people with your experiences, so why not get your healing process documented to inspire other people and get extra money as well.

I would definitely will share my experiences not only because of the money but because I want to tell to others that they can be cured even if they were addicted to it. I want to tell them that they can change. Personally, I never been a chronic gambler but I do have experience in this industry hence I know how being addicted.
There is always a way out. It is only a matter of determination. A man can do whatever he wants to. Impossible itself says Impossible. Gamblers just need to realize how harmful this activity is and what losses it brings. That will force them to set up their minds to leave this game. People like you can become a source of inspiration for the troubled gamblers. It would be difficult in beginning to leave but time cures everything.

I am hesitant to do this even though I will be paid through publication, the reason is because in my area the gambler is something that is considered bad, even though he is no longer a gambler but still be suspected and usually when there is something in the gambler area (eg lost property) then that first suspected was a gambler, I choose to keep it as a secret.

No, I don't want be popular online, lol ..

Seriously, if this way I could help, maybe I will agree but I would ask them to hide my name, I just want to keep my privacy and not letting people know what I have been through in life as a gambler.
but it cannot be realistic if you hide your personality mate,people might think that it is another Gimmick from publisher or media outlets.

what i mean is the truthfulness can be found on us if people can see the reality in our eyes,but of course i respect your stand mate though i only emphasizing what can be done if we will let our personality revealed.



as my stand in my previous post is If The Price is Right lol,practicality we earn and we help others  Grin Grin Grin

I guess this will all depends on how much sensitive of life that he have, many people are playing gambling online to avoid public exposure because their family name is at risk and other personal reasons, regarding about doing a personal interview and releasing it on public maybe as an inspiration to those who are addicted in gambling that can't quit gambling, this will have a cost, especially if it is going to be released worldwide, if not, probably the person you are pertaining OP will decline about this interview.

Well, I would,for the sake of those going through the same addiction problems but I will ask the publisher to guarantee that my identity does not get exposed or mishandled. I probably won't collect any money for this reason. otherwise the publisher will likely not handle my data carefully. He/she could even sell it.
It's your right to ask for the publisher to make sure that your account will be handled well. If ever that there's a need of your personal identity
which will add more realistic to the story then better to assure you that it will enlighten the portray characteristic that they wanted to write up.
With their good and fair judgement the story will help others to cope up with the same suffering that you went thru.
