True....If one knows that they have a problem, then they should seek help. When they keep doing something that is outside the realm of sound reasoning and they can't control it, they need to recognize that they have a problem. Gambling is not a sickness....Gambling uncontrollably is a sickness! If they are doing anything uncontrollably (drinking, sex, drugs.....etc), they need to seek help! Support groups are a good place to start seeking that help.
It means that you should not considered gambling as a sickness but the addiction/people bad habbit towards gambling is the sickness.
Gambling is created as a part of entertainment imo, people who addicted are those who cant control themselves.
