Well you cant say that there is nothing wrong with that, they have gambling problems and they need help, if see an old man, looking at you because he needa help, will you just walk through him? Thats the problem with people nowadays. They really dont care if other people are having problemes in life, they just care for themselves and their love ones. In short they are being selfish.
From the word itself, "problem", it needs a solution. The man surely is looking for some help deep inside even if most of the time he's enjoying gambling. At the end of the day, after losing a lot of money he's still regretting his decision and still feel bad for himself. Most of these people that suffer gambling addiction or gambling problems are too afraid to ask for help.
"its just that you need to have to get your mind back" - Really? You "just" need to do that? Oh, that's actually the hardest thing to do when you have addiction. You can't stop yourself from doing it. You don't have control of yourself. And it's not a short term thing. After the gambling addict gets help, he's going to recover for months or even years before he can finally say that he's not a gambling addict anymore.
It's not easy to just quit your addiction.
