Gambling addiction can be very terrible and frustrating that it affects both your financial and emotional wellbeing. There are lots of gamblers out there in the open struggling with gambling addiction wishing to share their pains with someone who could understand, but they don't actually know the right person(s) to confide in about the pains they bear as they fear that they will be judged, criticized and the rest.
I had this conversation with a stranger today, he had to tell me a few things he's struggling with with his gambling habit and how he had tried to put an end to it but finds himself going back to same habits thereafter. And he felt that talking to somebody about it will help his state but instead the person he felt comfortable talking to about was so judgemental towards him which had made him resort to self-help but nothing has really changed.
Has anyone gambling addict shared his situation with you and how did you handled it? please come clean about it let's learn from each other.
I like the question Nwada001 ask cause me I haven't seen any addicted person who comes out to tell people what he or she is passing through even if something like that use to happen it is very rare . Most addicted person don't have time to be discussing such thing with someone and some of them don't agree they are addict. However, I haven't experienced something like this and I think the best way for someone to look for remedy is first knowing that you are an addict cause if you don't know or have the conviction that you are an addict you can't stop it or fight it cause in order to solve a problem you need to know what the problem is before looking for remedy. Addiction is a very strong disease that requires God's grace else it won't be easy.
