I am trying to get something straight for here: do those who are addicted to gambling have the same characteristics? I have a friend who is so attached to gambling, and everyone around him knows iis an addiction. When they try to talk to him in regarding the way and manned he is putting much interest to gambling he picks offences and stops to be talking to people because they are like trying to make him understand that his gambling habits is becoming excessive.
If it was you would keep talking to him to reduce how he keeps gambling, or would you allow him to continue gambling? And even if he is not paying attention to you?
Since you know that gambling addicts have one habits which is the personal convictions that they are in control and may deciduous stop talking to anyone whi try to talk them out of their conditions, we shouldn't be surprised when they start exhibiting that character, the best thing is to let them be, since even if you talk to them as much as you can, they can never adhering change until their hit the wall and decide to quite by themselves. We should know that addiction is self-affliction, so is it escaped. For an addict to be able to fight addiction, he must be willing to do so; if not, no matter how much the people around point they addiction effects to them, they never take that advice seriously.
