Not all gamblers would have the courage to ask for help, most people prefer to conceal their problems because there is always little to no help you can get from the other party. In most cases, they end up being ridiculed. They would rather prefer the help of a licensed therapist whom would keep their case a secrete until it’s done.
Isn't it the reason why those living with addiction seal their mouths and struggle all day? The society do not care about addicts, the problem is said to be theirs to handle. Out of the few who go ahead to open up, a whole lot more suffer in silent. Therapy is great but expensive for some compulsive players to patronize. If consistent care were offered to addicts, many of them would need no therapist. Because close friends help to correct disorders faster and effectively than anybody else.
