This was once a failed experiment to me, we've done it before for a family friend that got addicted to gambling and things look better and I personally spend a week with this fella just to make sure he won't be alone, I thought him few other things that can keep him busy and make money in the process, but after several months he went back into gambling, my point is when are you not going to leave them?

There will be a time where they will be alone, the best way to beat gambling adddict is if the gambler is willing to beat the addict himself, they need to put in the work themselves, and that's when the chains of addiction will break finally.

If you are the only one that has the mind to save a gambling addict from addiction, you have alreday failed before you begin.

Sorry about that, but this is why despite the best intentions of their family members and their friends, the decision and the conviction to leave their gambling addiction behind must come from within the addicted, if this is not the case then it does not matter how much you try to help them, at some point you will have to do something else other than helping them, and once they find themselves on their own they will go back to their old habits and everything that was done for them would be for nothing.

I also agree with what you say, because your family, friends and everyone can tell you not to do it and receive all the help to have overcome it, but in the end it cannot be denied that that person who is addicted will only have a moment. between him and the game, and if the person does not control his impulses and what makes him addicted will fall on the addiction, then here the responsibility, the willpower is not from friends or family, it is from the same person if I want to return to have a bad time and make those who love it feel bad, that's why I say for me the problem of addiction is 90% of the person and 10% of the casino or Casinos, but it really is not from the casino but from the person .

I'm not some kind of psychologist, but I believe that a person has to have a very high enough self-esteem so that they can realize that if they are spending more money than normal, they feel an impulse to look for more money, they have to control that, and not look for more problems, Personally, I think that if a person needs psychological help, it is because there has come a time when they Cannot control their mind, that is a big problem, but even so , they must seek help quickly before they comment on more things that harm them.
