In gambling is not that difficult identifying addiction, once you keep chasing your lost constantly without looking back, you what to gamble at all cost not minding the implications or after effect it might cause you it's a clear indication that you are already addicted.
 
Furthermore, you go aggressively regardless anything, you want to hit a big win by all cost, all these are clear signs that you are already a strong addict and if you didn't retrace then you are gone finally.


Immediately you deviate from the initial purposes of gambling which is having fun and started seeing it as a source of income then that is just the right path way that can lead you to addiction.



In most cases it is very difficult for one on his own astain from it so easily, it's mostly through a help of a friend or family members, but I think the greatest and the most easiest way an addicted gambler can get retemption is when he has learned the hard way perhaps gambling has stripped him off his life fortunes, keeping him frustrated and left with nothing then I believe at that time his eyes will now be clear that he will need no one to advice him but rather advise his own self.
