This is not the case again. A problem shared is half solved before but lately, a problem share is now topic of discussion and gossip. They will mock you and use it against you someday. Gambling is not something one should be proud of doing and telling people about it and again some Society prohibit gambling and disregard gamblers, that is one factor that contribute to why gamblers are not open to everyone about the problem they are facing because of what people might feel about them. In addition, fighting addiction has to do with the victim more than the people. People can only offer advice but it's your own responsibility to make up your mind and control your emotions. A man who can not control his emotions is not man enough.

Hopefully, every problem can be resolved properly so there is no difference anymore. Even though gambling isn't something to be proud of that can be told to the public, if someone asks other people for help, they should be able to help him, regardless of whether he is a gambling addict or something else. It may be true that people who ban gambling will ignore gambling addicts who are in trouble, but they should be able to lend a helping hand. Fighting gambling addiction is not easy because it is related to many parties, gambling addicts, their families, people around their families, and rehabilitation if the gambling addict wants to be invited to a rehabilitation center. And if the gambling addict doesn't want to talk about his gambling addiction, how is anyone supposed to know? How can people start helping him?
