I am not a gambler, but I have a lot of debts and it affects the family financial. The things I do are always thinking positively, working hard, do my best, but do not repeating same mistakes and praying. Hopefully my life gets better.
If your life is already a mess don't ever try to do gambling because it can really ruin your life. Most of the gamblers are really in debt simply because of greed, people are showing too much greed just to get money or to get back their losses. Better not to do it when you are incapable to do so.
I hope that he doesn't use his money from debts to playing gambling because he will be difficult to pay his debts. without having a job, he cannot earn money and without money, he cannot pay back his debts. this is why that he must not gambling with that money and only use that money for another purpose.
