les problèmes de la dépendance aux jeux (d'argent)
"jeux d'argent" will insist that you bet or play for money, but "dépendance aux jeux" already implies that money is involved. The French police used to have a "brigade des jeux" specially in charge of gambling problems.
la dépendance au jeu
problems = problèmes
ceci sert de limite aux Paris excessifs
It basically means that, even though many people win when they gamble, a "gambling lifestyle" can lead to bad problems. Many people become addicted, which can lead to all sort of personal and financial problems. It's extremely common for people to lie about gambling losses or how often they gamble.
They say there are certain drug experiences that are. But they can become dangerously addictive. Same with gambling addiction - the Big Win can be orgasmic. Of course, sex is addictive too - but in the right way!
Tu as des problèmes
il n'y a pas eu de problème
Rehabilitation is all about one's resolve. While there are different approaches, addiction is addiction, regardless of what the addiction is. Whether it's drugs, alcohol, sex, shopping, food, gambling - it's an addiction and is generally approached the say way by any particular rehab center. Some centers do specialize in specific problems; that is, the clients share a similar problem. But for the most part, you will find that rehab centers are treating a wide range of addiction with regard to substance abuse. If your son is a minor, you can intervene. Speak to his physician about what area center would best suit his needs. If he is 18 or older, your son will have to pursue these options on his own. Unless he is willing to pursue rehab, he won't be successful.
Depending on context, addiction can be translated as:SuchtAbhängigkeitSuchtkrankheit
It's: les célébrités ont des problèmes.
some say heroin. nicotine is REALLY powerfull
no I wouldn't. Gambling can be fun and have no harm. However when gambling becomes the only thing they care about and they feel they have to lie to you to cover it or say you just dont understand its a major problem. Its an addiction and just like any other addicted person they will bring any and everyone around them down emotionally because you can't help them until they want to be helped. Cut them out of your life and tell them when they are ready to get help and will stop lying to you and themselves you will do all you can to help.
