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?
Rehab is the best ever solution to get rid of any kind of addiction which maybe hard to practice but it's the most effective so we need to make them realise they are addictive towards gambling so it's time to spend time on other things as well. But for someone else we can't do much, all we can do is show the path and their will power only can take them to the place where they want to be.
Well, if you feel yourself that you are doing something more than how much you're supposed to do then its time to focus on other.
One of the ways we have to do things to overcome others is to have another type of entertainment in mind , how ? doing sports, doing activities to get organized and stop thinking about what is causing damage, when the damage is very strong , it is very obvious that you need help, therapies, rehabilitation, because sometimes addictions can become so strong as to Overcome certain emotions of People and have a direct influence on your life, and that is what should be avoided. As adults, you always have to be in Control of Everything and not let yourself be Defeated by Adversity.
