I didn't experience getting addicted to gambling, but I guess I'm free to share my opinion with this one, right?

I've seen some gamblers who got addicted to it, and unfortunately, they didn't recover from it because it's either they're now in jail, or worse, they're dead already. Gambling addiction lasts for years, and it will consume your body slowly until it will come to a point where you might commit various crimes just to have money that's for gambling.

For me, having a family support is the best way to combat gambling addiction because they're a huge part towards your recovery (if you want to recover from it), but of course, their support will be useless if you don't help yourself. Going to a rehabilitation center is also a good advice because you will really recover from gambling addiction there. The only problem though is that, there are lots of temptations around when it comes to gambling, and at some point, you will be fighting against your urge to gamble yet again.
