I have learned things about alcoholism by being alcoholic. One of the most important things I learned is that alcohol does not cause alcoholism. If it did, then everyone who drank alcohol would be an alcoholic and that just isn't so.
For me it was my defects of character that were the primary cause of my drinking and of my failure at life. So if a government agency or health care system could come up with something that would make me less selfish, less dishonest, less angry, and less afraid, then they might have something close to a cure.
Oh by the way, video lottery terminals are also not the cause of compulsive gambling so attempting to fix something that wasn't responsible for the problem in the first place was really just a waste of time and I'm glad the government trashed that little project.
Know what I mean Jellybean.
