Addiction by SecretAgent Richard had not had a drink in 30 days. His wife was proud of him, his children were proud of him, his mother would have been very proud of him, but she was dead. Everyone who knew him, who had known him when he was drinking, could attest to it: Rich was a changed man. He wasn't violent anymore. He no longer lost his temper and screamed and cussed at every one in sight. Whenever he was asked how he had performed this seemingly miraculous transformation, Rich would just smile and say that one day he just decided to quit drinking. Just like that, cold turkey. And what a transformation! The old Rich was almost never home; the new Rich hardly leaves the house. The old Rich squandered hundreds of dollars a month on alcohol; the new Rich can't imagine spending that kind of money on poison. But the old Rich had never even heard of internet gambling.
