It's true, but at least the gambler still has a chance to stop gambling and get the title ex-gambler. I think it would be better for all gamblers to reduce their gambling activities and refuse offers to play gambling from their friends. And refusing their invitation is also not something to be ashamed of because it is our money and we are the ones who have to be responsible for spending our money. If we are not comfortable using money to gamble, we don't need to force ourselves to gamble or go back to gambling like we used to.
all of that actually depends on strong principles and mindsets to really avoid gambling. if a person does not have strong principles surely his self control will be very bad so that he always accepts any offers related to gambling and after losing more money and when he gets home he will regret again that he has lost money at gambling.
but its different if you have strong principles and a wise mindset Im sure he will refuse all invitations from these friends. but after all, everyone has different characteristics and here we are just telling each other experiences to serve as lessons from others to become the best teachers in the future.
it is better to prevent than to regret any of our gambling activities.
