Longtime,
I listen to a lot of radio. Specifically political radio. When Hunter Biden was big in the news, some outlets claimed that he recovered from his addiction. Other outlets stated that once you are an addict, you are always an addict. If you are not using, you are in recovery but you will always have the addiction. You just have to stay away from that addiction. if you just try it once, you are hooked again. If gambling addiction is the same as drug addiction, a gambling addict will always be an addict that is in recovery. You are correct, he will have to be watched day and night. He will have to just say no every time the urge hits him. At least he has admitted that he has a problem. I hope that he can find a program that will help him stay away from gambling. I also hope that he does not turn to other addictions. Often, if a person gets addicted to one vice, he has an addictive personality which could be transferred to other vices. That was my public service announcement for the decade.

Yep. He’ll flip on his car radio and get a Fanduel commercial. If he tries to watch a game on tv he’ll see ESPN Bet or something else. Everywhere you look these days it’s sports books. He’ll have to climb Mt. Everest every day.
