How can a real gambler get out of his addiction??
Just stopped gambling.
This is not how addiction works. While there are levels to addiction, in most cases when you have addictive brains, you will stay as addict, even after you quit. And being an full blown addict is literally about being unable to stop it yourself, because you are hooked to the routine and chemical awards of it. Only way to really stop being addicted is to rewrite your brains so that they learn to get that reward healthy way.

So if you consider gambling as a means of earning money then you are a real gambler, you find a way to control yourself.
This has being a constant reminder to all gamblers to gamble without intentions of earning money but basically even without getting anything from it people get hooked along the line. But then i quote you wrong  saying earning money from gambling makes you a real gambler. Absolutely it doesn't the fact that you gamble and know when to stop makes you a real gambler.
Just a reminder that "real gambler" is a term that anyone can define as they will, because no such thing actually exist. It's an informal fallacy like "No_true_Scotsman".
