I know it's a bad thing but gambling addiction is your own decision and the only thing that can help you with this is yourself,lucky if you have the support of your families, and they will help you get rid of it. but when you don't have it, you need to help your self.because there is no one else who can help you but yourself in any kind of addiction.
The dangerous thing that may happened in gambling was the fact that you've been so engaged in it and addiction was the suitable term for it. Its an addiction that only yourselves can resolve but the problem was once a person were into gambling it may find it hard for them to control themselves. I don't know but there are some person who were supposed to be stopped in doing gambling but don't know how to do.
