According to some articles that I've read, almost 80% of the people are suffering from gambling addiction.
Agree, sometimes you're not aware about your illness and will discover it once you take the effect of your actions or maybe there are other things that gets affected. So it may take a lot of time just to recover a person who's really suffering in gambling addiction.
Addiction is one of the hardest mental illnesses to treat so be careful on compulsive gambling.
I disagree. It depends on the person in charge for you as how well, especially their methods, in handling such cases. It would be hard at first of course and some may say that they listened but can't stop doing the same thing over and over again. I think most seek professional help in their own volition because they had become aware that their addiction had led to unwanted events taking place in their lives. All I can say is that treating addiction is a process.
Gambling addiction is a psychological illness in which recovery depends primarily on the patient himself. If he is not aware of his illness and does not want to get rid of it, then no matter how good a doctor treats him, he will not be able to recover. He will always break down and run to the casino again and again.Addiction is one of the hardest mental illnesses to treat so be careful on compulsive gambling.
People just sometimes think that they are healthy, they do not notice what harm they do to themselves and their family by constantly spending money and time on gambling/alcoholism/drug addiction. This makes it difficult to convince them that they should start treatment for addiction.
Because that is how things work, people are good on giving advices but the irony will be always there, since they can't even give advice for themselves. Other people are meddling in other's people lives that is how they can't spot or realized what is wrong with them, because they don't have time to look at themselves in the mirror, or maybe, that is how they define what happiness is, by not minding their own business.
They are calling others addict even themselves are addict to in something else. Curing addiction is no joke, whether it is in gambling, drugs, or alcohol, it will takes courage and effort to eliminate the bad addiction to all of us.
true true mate but we should do it than not doing it all because once you give advice to other people atleast some of them can listen on it and realized thier mistake and who knows?
what if one day they prolly decided to stop .
we can still changed lives on our own little ways or by simply saying a motivational speech or advices even if you knew to yourself that you are not perfect .
well there is no perfect on this world anyways.
