I never personally encountered someone who is seriously addicted to gambling, just some occasional bettors/players. But I heard stories from a friend whom gamblers approach to borrow some money because they lost. I've watched also some documentaries on therapies, do they really work?
Sometimes that's work, but it depends on the gamblers itself, if they have a strong mind to stop gambling, then they can do that. But if it's not, they will leave that way, and they will come back to the gambling games.
If a gambler wants to stop from gambling, he needs to tell his family or friend so they can find a way for him to quit gambling. But the important thing is that gambler needs to know if he really wants to quit from gambling because he knows the risk of gambling.
That is not a good idea to borrow some money because if that gambler has lost again, how he can pay back the money because he doesn't have money. We should not do that, especially if we don't have a reason to stay in gambling games.
You are very correct mate, no addicted gambler can overcome gambling addiction without first of all admitting, and this is where there is always a problem. Majority of gamblers would keep on defending this habit and even though they go for therapy with this attitude, there would be no difference and its really sad.
It will be much easier if gamblers can disclose their status on addiction to their closest pals, either friends or families and help can easily be offered. There are a number of people who undergo rehabilitation and come out better
Going through rehabilitation for gambling addiction is not bad at all, as a matter of fact, it works a whole lot and I know a lot of people with addiction problems that would go and return better, but the only challenge is no addicted person will ever voluntarily agree to go through this process.
