Of course, without the help of an experienced specialist can not do. How do you know that the doctor you are contacting is a good specialist? First of all, he will not promise the golden mountains, but will warn that there is a lot of work ahead. He will also be engaged in the search for the causes of gambling.

After therapy, you must remember - there are no former gamers. In no case do not provoke yourself to relapse, and do not even play cards! Also remember that a person prone to addiction can find a new object of desire. So that the gamer does not turn, for example, into an alcoholic, think about what can bring you joy in real life.
