Gambling captivate so many people, and it has to attain to the level drugs. This hobby is not only ruining the man and his family, but also psychologically traumatic for the player.
And for the family.
People usually forget how much the family suffers in these situations. They should also take the help of support groups so they can get support from other families in the same situation, as well as professionals.
I can not agree more with your statement. Because I have actually seen a family been ruined just because of gambling !
We always think that we are addicted, we are loosing but friends more than us our family is loosing ( they are loosing US ) because we spend less time with them when we start to gamble.
