I still hard to believe if a gambling addict will stop and realized if they was wrong with their gambling habit, because there are many gambling addict get forced by their parents to not gamble and get kicked from their company, but it doesn't make them to stop gambling.
There's nothing wrong about this thread, but if you hope you can help an addict by creating this thread, you shouldn't hope to high.
You have a point, gambling is good but one should have a control over it, I was actually a victim of gambling addiction when I was very small I was introduced by a friend to gamble, so I played and won the first bet and second so I thought I will continue to win before I realized myself all the money I made was gone and still continue believing i will win again before I realized myself again I had already become an addict, so I continued to gamble till when I realized is trying to affect my finance I had to force myself to control it, so that was how I was able to control myself. So is good to gamble but one should have self control and also gambling is not good for children.
