That's ok. I am neither an alcoholic no a gambler. But for a long time I have been interested in addictive disorders, especially alcoholism. I have read a few books, memoirs of people who were drug addicts and alcoholics. And some fictional books too. So I have pretty good knowledge (if it can be termed that way) of how they feel. And I have come to my own conclusions of the causes and cures and so on. So, you didn't offend me at all.
