How can a real gambler get out of his addiction??
Getting out of any kind of addiction is not a simple process, just like other addictions the gambling addict needsa few months to recover from it at the very least.
First step is the one who is addicted should be willing to quit, if the person haven't realized that then it is not possible by other ways. Then they may need an assessment from a professional to to know their severity of their addiction.
Then based on it, the process varies.
If they are just getting started - use self-exclusion tools and distract themselves with other hobbies that take away their free time.
If they are already addicted - support group or even rehab centres will be the only solution along with the emoptional support from other people.
"I realize that I'm losing a lot of money by gambling in the hope of getting something out of it. I played for fun at first, but now I understand that the risks behind it are quite high.
I used to think that it was possible to make money from gambling, but now I realize that it's a trap. So I'm trying to find a way out.
I used to gamble to forget about stress and depression for a while, but now I realize that it's a temporary relief, not a permanent solution."
