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.
The worst part is that gamblers who are addicted not only spoil their life but also their family life. They will borrow funds form friends or their families member for gambling and will lose that too amount. Now their family has to replay those debts which their children has gambled and lose out. This can affect the relationship as well if not controlled on time.
You know that gambling is not a good thing overall , don't do it when you always losing control.
Because the debts come from the desire you want to recover what you have lost and it was an addiction.
I do believe a lot of people get in this kind trouble , that is the life of a gambler.
People always tend to lose control whenever they are gambling, they put limits on how much they are going to gamble but they end up going way overboard in the process. They can't seem to help it at all. But since they have hope of winning money they keep on coming for more.
