true, everyone will choose a different way, but OP's point is how if it was you? not other people. If that happened to you, what would you do, would you stop or play in secret behind it?
For me, I have a family, and I no longer gamble, not because of a mutual decision. but rather financial factors. If my finances improve, I will choose to be more careful if I want to play. because current experience is the best teacher for me not to use too much money for gambling or for something that not really need just for fun and entertaint. Because we never know what bad things will happen to us.
