Gamblers often think they aren't addicted, but their actions and the people around them show who they really are. Perhaps addicted already. Yes, many are fooling themselves and trying to trick their minds into believing something unbelievably right. But there is no need to agree with them.

A person who has once become addicted knows who is telling the truth and who is telling lies.

I havent checked it, but I am sure that among 18 pages no one has ever written that he is addicted and this is ok for him/he needs help/he does not need help, only few say that they are not addicted, but other walk circles reasoning that gambling cause addiction, how bad it is. In fact, I believe addicted people realize that they are addicted, but cant do nothing about it and have no guts to confess and ask for help.

Hahaha, yes, I agree with your opinion that many addicted gamblers hide behind wise words, suggesting to others that gambling should be done for entertainment or pleasure, when in fact, they themselves come to win. For me, as long as it doesn't harm me, I don't have a problem with it.
Honestly, I'm not currently addicted. Sometimes I only play three times a week, and even then, I use 3-5% of my total monthly income. But honestly, two years ago, I was addicted. My addiction was so severe, I even played slots while driving. That was very dangerous and very high risk.

So, I could say that I had a chronic addiction before, which led to financial problems such as debt. But from there, I started to realize that if I didn't fix everything soon, my life would be ruined. I started trying to increase my activities to reduce my attraction to gambling, and yes, I finally succeeded. Now I only gamble when I have money I can afford to lose. I feel much calmer.
