It's a shame when you realize and accept that it was true, but like what you said most of those gamblers who still in a denial stage of their addiction they will not accept that and they will get mad at you when you tell them things about their addictions, they are not willing to take that word as they think they can still control and they are just enjoying and trying to kill up some time.
But when they are already in the stage where acceptance is already shining in their minds, that shame will be there and they will seek
help if they are already willing to move away from this addiction.
No, you don't need to feel like that because in the first place, you want this to happen. I salute those people who tease someone because they are giving a motivation for that person to change for the better. If the gambler is serious, I mean if he keeps on pushing that he is not an addict, I guess the only way to prove it is to have some kind of a surveillance camera or CCTV.
If the people around them are away to monitor their activity. If someone won't still believe that the person is not addicted to gambling, well that is already their problem. There must be something wrong with them. We can just ignore those people or report them if they are getting aggressive.
Teasing someone could neither be accepted nor really be treated up to be a bully or trying out to make someone do feel upset or angry or whatsoever emotions would be ending up. It is really just
true that whenever someone around you telling that you are already that addicted then you should really be thinking up twice in regarding about your condition or the things that you've been doing because people around you or someone knows you wont really be saying up those words if they havent seen something, if they do then they would really be giving out those kind of
words and calling about being addicted.
On the time that you do hear up such things then it would really be wise to re-assess yourself whether you are still in good shape in terms of your finances and trying out to see and check
if you are still on your limits and not trying out to chase up something? If these things are all yes then you are still that good.
