I suggest that if you feel that you are like that, you may visit some professionals to help you

And how's that supposed to work in practice?

As you say yourself, "compulsive gambling is the uncontrollable eagerness on gambling" (personally, I would say urge or obsession, but it doesn't really matter). If you don't listen to your family and your friends anymore, if you don't care about anyone, what on earth is going to make you listen to some advice here (or elsewhere in the Internet, for that matter)? Just curious
Families could indeed be god beavon of hope for these compulsive gamblers come the time that they want to quit and start a new life altogether. However, these people need professional help from a psychiatrist or psychologist. This is not to charge or to condemn the afflicted but to find out the deeper meanings behind the person's blind addiction to gambling. They can be given medications and activities to do to keep them from gambling without a care in the world.

That's how seeking professional help works. It works more often than how you think it is. They're image has just been damaged by media which is partly the reason why not everyone trusts them anymore.
