'I hope that you will not have to come back one day and reread this post and see how ignorant it is because that will mean that you will not have had the experience of introducing a friend into gambling and having had them ruin their life.
All of this intellectualization of addiction will mean nothing to you when someone you care deeply for is in a hell that you to which you led them. You will wish that you could help them, but you will not be able to help them. You will wish one thing, "I wish that I had never introduced them to poker." And then you will see that your wish could have come true. If you had listened.'
