Of course, this is not the solution to the problem of gambling addiction, but it is the first step to solve it, because if a gambler hides from the closest people that he plays gambling, they obviously can not understand why at some point he changed, began to sleep poorly, eat, stopped going to work, has several loans in banks that can not pay, etc. and help him find a way out of the situation. Hiding from his closest people addiction gambler remains alone with the problem, and as we know one is very hard to achieve success in any case.
