I see what you mean. Unfortunately, the lack of support from loved ones can result in the worst consequences in cases of gambling addiction. They eventually end up destitute and homeless. Destitution is the common story for many gambling addicts as there is no sense of dignity or pride left in them. In a nut shell, they get an addiction because they lack something in their lives and what do they do when they are without money and jobs and when the addiction consumes them, they get helplessness and they lose their life!
That is what must be paid attention to because the support of loved ones is really needed by someone who is experiencing addiction, but yes it is also difficult if you don't go to a psychologist to confirm their addiction because if you let them be like this and for poverty and destitution they don't caring the important thing is gambling, so obviously addicted to gambling and unprofessionals will spend everything he has, this is a fact because I feel my brother is going through something like this, so the most important thing is unending full support.
The love and understanding from family, friends, and faith can be a powerful aid in recovery. It is not until we are desperate that we recognize our need for love and support. I have been there! Somehow I was able to live in my denial until I was in the midst of it.
The most important thing is to be open and sincere with the support network around you and allow them to help you in any way they can. You can be sure of their help and support because they care about your life.
