In this case, maybe I will respond to something else, when something like this happens, we really have to restrain ourselves as much as possible and keep ourselves busy with other things.
On the other hand, socializing is actually important if you really want to stop completely because this factor is sometimes also very influential in suppressing the desire to gamble when you are in a group of gamblers.
it is really difficult if not impossible to limit yourself in betting without medical help or psychological support.
you must always pay attention to the friend...because they can minimize a problem or not notice it at all.
or even worse ... being addicted to gambling too

and somewhat supporting this addiction

Unfortunately, people realizes to have such a problem only when it is late and the first social or economic "damage" has already occurred.
This is a step that must be done even though it is indeed difficult because if this kind of thing continues to be allowed then the addiction will get worse and can even be more fatal there.
Things like this are indeed quite difficult to control but that doesn't mean they can't. As long as there is a desire in ourselves, even if we can't avoid gambling, we can still minimize it so that addiction doesn't occur which destroys ourselves.
