For sure. Fortunately I've only put $20 down that toilet. He'll readily say "I have a problem... I want to get help..." but saying it and doing it are entirely different. I have a feeling he only agrees with everyone to make people around him feel better, or to try to diffuse the situation... and lessen the scrutiny.
He'll tell you he has a problem... as he's throwing $100 bills into the slot machine. His words mean pretty much nothing.
