Some programs even rely on the addict acknowledging that they have an incurable disease which they will have to battle for the rest of their lives! No wonder they make people miserable!<\/p>\n<p>The key to curing scratch card addiction is to have the addict understand exactly what it is that they think they enjoy about it. Gamblers already know about the downsides; the cost, the debts, the loss of property &#038; love, and the utter shame \u2013 there\u2019s no point in ramming that down their throat. <\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s highly patronising and entirely counter-productive. But looking at their perceived advantages of buying scratch cards and gambling, and understanding the process they went through in becoming addicted is an entirely empowering, enlightening, and positive process which leaves the gambler ready to walk away from something that was devastating their lives and the lives of their family, with a smile on their face, like someone who has been released from the darkest, dankest, most uncomfortable dungeon.<\/p>\n<p>Surprisingly this process, far from being a lifetime battle, or requiring residential treatment (which itself costs thousands and thousands of pounds) takes just a few hours. In fact, if you\u2019re a scratch card addict reading this there is no doubt that you can already sense, albeit sceptically, a little light at the end of the tunnel for the first time in your life.
