I heard about gambling therapy and it prick my mind to which I asked myself when last did I go for gambling therapy? I could recall and that's because I have never had one since I believe am gambling responsibly.

What's gambling therapy?

Gambling Therapy is a free, global online service offering practical advice and emotional support to anyone affected by problem gambling link

Yeah, you read that correctly , it says people affected by gambling problem. But after reading I took an opposing view about it because gambling therapy shouldn't be something simply painted exclusively for people with gambling addiction problems alone. In as much as you're a gambler, whether a gambler that has his gambling habit under control, going for a gambling therapy should be a habit we should acculturate ourselves with, at least twice a year (ones in every 6months).

We go for monthly or quarterly health routine checkups not only because we're sick but to reduce any risk of getting sick before knowing. Right? same behavior can be applied to gambling , do you agree or it's not necessary until you start getting a gambling problem .

If someone had a gambling problem I would wager that they have a lot of other problems and addictions as well. Drinking smoking just to name a few, going to all the clubs I mean there are literally so many things on top bit of course it varies by person. If they do get this free help then good for them tho!

I'm not really sure about it though, I mean gambling is a totally different addiction, yeah there could be gamblers that smokes or drinks, but I haven't seen a gambler that really had another addiction.

So I was under the impression that if you have a addiction gambling, that's it. But if cases like you have drinking problem, you can also have smoking as this two works hand in hand. But in any case, I do believed that in any addiction, people need help or better yet, a professional health to help them get away from this conditions and become a better person.
