its very hard for a gambling addict to quit since his an addict, but as a member of the family you should not let gambling leads him yo lose everything , we have a very important role to play in his life to for him to recover.
Yeah, that is the best thing to do. Getting help and support from family. The first thing an addicted person should do is to accept that he is an addict before he can help himself. Because if they do not accept that they are addicted then no one can help them! It is because if they do not admit it then they will justify their gambling activities every time.
No one would really help you out if you dont accept or you arent serious on quitting gambling and knowing addiction is a really hard thing to avoid. You can easily spot a gambling addict on the way he moves and the way he do play gambling and usually most of them you can really find on gambling games almost playing everyday. Seeking others help isnt bad but you should help yourself first.
