This is a very good advice. People that goes through with these situations just need some people to talk to them. If they can't initiate it on their own, they'll be put into a harder situation. So, if you see someone that's dealing with this type of problem or addiction. Be the one to help and approach them. Not in financial help because they'll surely just going to gamble it. But have some life to life talk and how's it going to them until they admit that they're not doing good and until then, give them some motivations on how they should overcome it. They'll realize on where they have been now if they didn't get themselves into this pit of bad situation due to gambling.
