A gambler needs psychotherapy, not new arguments. Many psychologists argue that gambling addiction is a serious mental disorder that requires professional help.
Psychotherapy helps identify the root causes of addiction and develop strategies to overcome them. I think without this in-depth work, any alternative exercise will not produce lasting results.

Yes, but arguments are also a form of therapy. There are many directions in modern psychology and all these directions try to treat their client or patient in their own way. This is the so-called worldview therapy - when psychologists correct the patient’s worldview.

First time I have heard of it. I know that arguments can sometimes affect someone that you want to change their life but when ego is so high it ends in a different way. A friend becomes an enemy and they won't listen to you for a long time. Being honest is something good because it's rare for some people and they want friends who are honest with them but let's face it, most people would take a liar and be their friend for a long time as long as they agree with them and then the honest ones are left on the shadows being hated until they get old and the friend becomes mature enough to say he did the wrong thing.
I've been in those situations and I heard a lot of apologies. I am the kind of person who would tell the truth recklessly because I don't care what you will think of me afterward. When you are young, it's difficult to accept the truth and I understand that, but at the end of the day, it's all the same result.
