I was with one of my old friends yesterday and he was addicted to football gambling to the extent that he is finding it very difficult to sleep and do normal activities. He has won some of betting he has played on but correctly want to give it some time off. He is asking for general advice if drugs can help.
Drugs can only worsen the situation, and you are not helping him if you say yes better not to advice to take any drugs because we all know the effect of this especially when a person is already corrupted by gambling. Advice him not to gamble that much, he can watch football without placing any bet and just have fun. Your friend needs your help, advice him the right way and guide him until he recovers from this addiction.
