Not all of them practise what they preach.
It is easy to advise others, not easy to control your urges.
haha it's true. but I myself do not stay away from gambling, at least be able to control myself not to adversely gambling.
I have given my advice, when first I'm really addicted to gambling, and I am now really is not addictive like old.
For some really addict to gambling you need to stop them right away, you can't ask them to play less, they will sure become addicted again so I dont really think their own will have any affect on them. They need some full distraction that make them stop gambling, this kind of thing will be the best way because you may not ask them to stop in a half way, you need to full stop or never stop again
