But telling someone to their face or worse, to someone else, that one is an addict, as if it were diagnosed fact, can be wrong and very harming to one's reputation.

In my opinion, it is a poor idea to reprimand a gambler because no one knows what brought him into the system; he was possibly duped or needs extra money to pay his bills. It's the truth, but telling someone face to face is simply not providing assistance because addicts can still resuscitate themselves and become responsible tomorrow, the only thing is that they haven't made that decision yet. Spoiling one's reputation, especially if he is a high-ranking employee, would undoubtedly exhaust him and result in a demotion at his level. So I would advise us to keep any negative ideas about someone to ourselves and to mind our own business.
