but I think it goes in that Direction.
I think most times they don't want to accept the truth because they have lost so much money to gambling and won't stop till they probably make it back.. that's obviously going to put them into more depts. Knowing when you have become addicted is what helps the most to prevent spending part your budget. The public has no say over your life, but if you see someone who's willing to notice you and tell you about your addiction, then you should take their advice seriously and stop.
It's hard to say if someone won't become addicted after they keep trying to play and chasing their losses, sometimes those who are addicted have realised too late and of course it will no longer be useful because after all getting out of an addiction is not an easy thing, for me personally preventing not getting addicted is clearly more effective than we have to find solutions to get out of the addiction, if we don't want to find solutions to all the problems we face, isn't it too naive if we expect the public to solve all our problems with addiction and losses due to gambling so far?
