When someone is addicted to gambling I feel it's worst than one who's addicted to drugs.
How can you say that, everything about addiction is just as bad and can threaten a person's life, because usually addiction can lead a person to depression which can lead to suicidal ideation, so no addiction is better or worse, all are bad, because People who are addicted often do things beyond their true awareness.


The question is if you're a gambler or have someone who is, what's the best way to help out. And what's your story on escaping that addiction (gambling)...
How do you fight this battle?

I don't know how to help someone who is addicted to gambling other than advising that person to go to a therapist so they can get out of their addiction, because only therapists understand how to help people like that because they have knowledge that can be applied to help, and actually it would be better for them take him directly to a therapist instead of us trying to give advice and so on because it might not work, although it is not certain that the therapy he is following will also produce results because actually if someone wants to recover from addiction it has to come from within himself not just encouragement from those closest to him.
