Powerful story William—by the time you reminded me of the gambling i thought, you’re the perfect case for adding drugs…I’m curious—why did it never lead to that for you? You seem to be someone who to a great extent has a lot of self control despite all these vices? I suppose what I’m saying is: you weren’t addicted. You enjoyed them—but you had the self control to say—enough. It makes me understand how they say addictions are genetic. Some seem more predisposed to others to being addicted.

You are such an inspiration and you provide a lot of hope. Thanks for always sharing your stories openly!
