Do the right thing. Trust yourself, and you'll know the way! Listen to yourself: You can do this--you can!

Bloodsage stopped staring at Deedlit long enough to write:
I'll buy that--but it validates rather than invalidates my original point: it's a mental problem with the gambler, not an addiction caused by the game.

Just a bit of pedantry. For that matter, addictions aren't caused by substances, addictions are caused by habit and chemical dependency. Chemical dependencies are caused by substances.

No worries, be happy, hakuna matata.
