According to some articles that I've read, almost 80% of the people are suffering from gambling addiction.

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.

Motivational speech will not be fully effective, unless they take it seriously, because I know that gamblers are prideful, they won't even listen to any of your advices because that would only hurt their egos, and that is what the other problem. People who didn't know how to listed or didn't want to be corrected will never be able to mature, or to help himself on his problem, because he is going to insist forever that he is right.

However, taking the chances to help other people will not be totally wasted because there is a little chance that it would shake them on daydreaming in gambling.
