I have been gambling for years, maybe I have been addicted to it at some point even though I never noticed, however I'm a little in control of my gambling activities. Something still get me confused regarding gambling addiction that is a hot topic here and I want to get opinion of others on these areas:

• How do you know you are addicted to gambling
• How easy it is to be addicted to gambling?
• Can an addicted gambler work himself out of that addiction without help from anyone, if yes, is it still addiction?
