Addiction is a strange beast. I have been sober 13 years now but if I even touch a drop of liquor - it’s game over for me in terms of addiction. Yet, I periodically gamble and have absolutely no problem walking away and not getting hooked. I have had the same $100 bucks or so in a Draftkings account since like 2020.

I think for people who struggle with gambling addictions, it’s a very bad time to be in the state of IL - its everywhere now and these companies specifically target people with addictions.
