Who won't get offended to be called as gambling addict? Not everyone want to hear that so I guess I will try to track back my activities if the claims of those people saying that is true. If I figure out that he is right on what he said to me well I might fix things up and correct all the wrong doings I do on my gambling activities, but if I know that I don't gamble that and occasionally I just participate because I'm bored well I might come to the person tell that to me and talk about things so that he also get a clarification on my activities done.
That's what the people around him who are called gambling addicts should do so that he can realize the extent of his gambling activities. And if he really feels like a gambling addict, he can change his habits and reduce his time playing gambling. And it's better to fix it soon before it's too late so he doesn't develop a severe gambling addiction. And if after he researches or reflects on himself and sees that he doesn't have a gambling addiction, he doesn't need to respond to other people's words because they don't know who we really are and are just talking nonsense.
