One of the solutions which is recommended by most gamblers on this forum for gambling addiction is "Therapy" . Professional help in the form of therapy. It is good and very effective but how many persons can actually afford it? There is a fee for each session that lasts for a duration of 60minutes. And there are more than one session. Therapy for gambling addiction is expensive. How can those who are unemployed afford it? How about the college student? Or the person receiving minimum wage. What are the other low cost but very effective solutions to gambling addiction. And typically how long will it take before the addict starts to feel more in control and less withdrawal symptoms?
Will totally appreciate your responses. Thanks.
I think more than the cost for therapy, it is the determination of the person to undergo such treatment and their commitment in finishing all the required sessions.
Like what I also mentioned before, if a person truly wants to cure his/her addiction in gambling, the first step is always about finding their commitment in resolving this problem. If they lack the commitment and dedication to truly cure this, then everything will be futile and the cause is lost.
Without commitment, even if the person is equipped with all the necessary resources and money, they will not be able to escape the depths of their addiction.
