Question by AN: Do you think someone can recover from a gambling addiction by reading the medical books and online discussion?
I am curious to the opinions of others. Do you think that someone can recover from a compulsive gambling problem by reading online materials and other resources, or do you think it is necessary for that person to attend Gamblers Anonymous Meetings or other recovery meetings of some kind?

I think if the gambling problem is relatively new, the person may benefit from using these resources. If the problem has been going on for a while or is severe, it would be harder to treat. Best Wishes.
