Addiction is Hard

We all have our vices and addictions to things that are very hard to overcome. For the bear and me we have our typical tobacco addictions. I like to drink, him not so much. We both have one though that is very costly and it's called gambling. We love those damn slot machines. For me, I have a hard time walking away when I'm there, for the bear he has a hard time dealing with his boredom. If we could only break ourselves from what some people call evil, we would be okay. But since we are human, it doesn't seem too likely that this will happen anytime soon. Just chalk up our losses and move on right?
