indeed some people make gambling their livelihood. but sooner or later they will fall deeper. and true, gambling is not something that is said to win or lose, but where when they get good luck and managed to go further than what was expected.
I agree. It is very difficult not to fall below when you are completely absorbed and give yourself up to gambling. But without connection with the values of family and friends, this will happen anyway.
Each addict must be very responsible about his life and build connections with values that can help him not fall into bad conditions for him.
