They say, "You never win if you don't buy." LOL. They don't consider how much it costs to buy before you win. A dear soul in my building will say, "I want $4. or $25." with no words about how much of her pension she spent buying them. I had to learn the hard way, my poison was Nevada Tickets. For a while I controlled how much I spent, a whole $3. a day, but that was still using, and it was taking over my thinking. Now if I get the thought, I will buy. My sponsor said, "Never spend more than you can afford to lose." The light went on for me, it took a while because I didn't think I was doing myself or others wrong. In the long run it did, but the biggest thing was setting a bad example.
