That's impossible. First and foremost, if someone is approaching an addicted gambler to talk to him about his current condition, experience, and how often he goes gambling. They are not going to the extent of engaging in a discussion about participating in gambling activities with the addicted gambler. Instead, they focus on resolving the issue and helping the individual overcome their addiction. It is unlikely that someone willing to help would become addicted to gambling simply by approaching the addicted gambler unless that person has ulterior motives.
Why is it impossible? A person who approaches a gambling addict but cannot control himself will find something that the gambling addict shows that will make him curious to try it. This self-control can prevent him from being tempted to try it so that he can stick to his goal of getting gambling addicts to cure their gambling addiction. Someone who approaches a gambler will use methods that might work well instead of directly asking the addict about his current condition. That will make the addict offended and feel that the person is not sincere. Someone who wants to approach the addict will know how he can enter and get close to the addict without rejection. This requires finding the right ways from the people who approach the addict so that they can help the gambling addict cure his gambling addiction.
