That's the simple truth, addiction doesn't come one Day but it may start off gradually as a fun untill it becomes a strap. That is how every addicted Gambler once started untill it get worst. One thing people do is that they keep on doing same thing repeatedly and hoping for change where as there are no hope.
It always have become a gradual process for every gambler. Some may not notice it too early because that's how it goes for most of them.
But then, when they have realized that it's getting worse on their ends. That's when they have discovered themselves that it's too late and they're already addicted.
The signs were there but they are in denial of it and that's why it's too late for them to quit when they have figured out.
Even an addicted person in gambling doesn't discover by itself that is addicted, it's people that will inform them that they're addicted in the gambling, we need to understand that it what we have in mind towards gambling is what makes to feel that we are addicted..sometimes when you are a frequent gambler people may think that you're addicted in gambling, so things we need to know towards gambling is that it's our emotions that makes people to be seem as addicted person in gambling, I can be a regular gambler but I'm not addicted, because I have a self control, I have statistics of my gambling table.
Those that are being told that they are addicted, won't believe them if they're tough.
That's one reality that the addicted gamblers does. They don't believe to what others sees on them. What they will believe is what they stand for and that's them thinking that they're not yet severely addicted.
Because they're still able to argue, bla bla, and other reasonings just because they are having hard time to admit it.
