Question: Are there some "non-addicted" players here who have suggestions to help others be more controlled?
Do you want to be free of gambling forever? Start TODAY before more months and years pass by.
There is what we call self-conviction. There is no amount of suggestions/advice you will give to an addicted gambler for him to quit gambling that will make him quit unless he has self-conviction or should I say self-realization. Addictions is something that is hard to deal with. Most people go to rehab and after some time, go back to do the same thing they were admitted for addiction.
This is why therapy seems like a waste of time, no matter the help you get from others if you don't put in conscious effort to make a change it's not going to do anything.. although speaking up can be a way to tackle it but you must also learn to discipline yourself as well...rehab isn't the solution to the problem, gambling addiction is a psychological issue but it doesn't mean addicts are psychopaths, most of them are affected by their greed and other things that triggers the urge to gamble.
