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?

first you must know what it means to be addicted. Being addicted to gambling doesn't mean you are always showing up. It means you gambling with no sign of stoping. So many gamblers lose alot of money every single day, trying to make that big bag. They failed to see that you can't hit a jackpot by losing too much. You have to be abel to preserve your bankroll as a gambler. When you get addicted, you might notice how you no longer are able to do without placing a bet every single second of the day. You are always checking to see if there's a chance to win.
Can you work it out on your own? Yes of course. Addiction is more like a psychological thing. If you are able to evaluate your self and knowledge you are addicted, then it's possible to stop your self..

Gambling addiction starts with an action of doing and when such an action is done repeatedly for more than 21days, it is stored in the long term memory and new neural pathways is formed. It is more or less a conscious effort becoming an unconscious activity later on.

If one stops on their own after experiencing the ills of gambling excessively, they often reinforce other activities with action to keep them distracted from going back to gambling, otherwise one may be tempted to mostly at free time when no one is around, give it one more try because they feel lucky.

It is as easy to stop gambling as it is as easy to say 'No'.
