Susan: Hey, Chris. Why so you look so depressed?

Chris: Oh, it’s my brother. You know, he has got a gambling problem. You can’t understand gambling as an addiction unless you’ve been hooked.

Susan: Apparently it’s like being addicted to drugs or alcohol. You just want more and more.

Chris: It’s exactly like alcoholism; it takes over you life. It’s on your mind constantly.

Susan: Yeah, like some horrible disease. But you can get help.

Chris: My brother tried to stop, but he felt restless…bad tempered. His nerves were always on edge.

Susan: Did he try Gamblers Anonymous? It’s a self-help group with experience just like his.

Chris: Yeah, he’s not alone. It’s estimated there are 10 million addicts in America.

Susan: I don’t want to nag him, but isn’t it a question of taking control of his life?

Chris: I see your point, but he’s a compulsive gambler.

Susan: I know. But if he gets help, maybe he’ll get better.

Chris: No doubt. It’ll be tough. Though but worth it.

Susan: Remember the proverb “Better medicine has wholesome effects.”
