looking for a solution to stop gambling activities looking for recommendations on ways from online it not a problem and its very natural for me but regarding success or not it seems like its unlikely to succeed and most likely will fail because stopping gambling activities especially if you are already addicted it seems like it will be very difficult if there is not help or solutions from the next of kin because if you have help or solutions from the family you can monitor your activities every day and can be warned if you make a mistake again.

it is very difficult if a gambler who has often bet uses borrowed money because they will always have a way to borrow money and still be able to bet like my friend in 2016 I know him from meeting at a hangout and what I know where he lives is not far from my location but it turns out that after knowing him for more than 1 year he is not originally from around here but he is a person outside my city who moved here only because he was chased by a large amount of debt used for gambling and here he also borrowed money until the total was very large just to gamble and finally he left from the city I moved places to find new prey to borrow money to gamble again. its like an insane addiction.

Yes, you are right because it all depends on the intention of the gambling addict. If he really wants to recover from his gambling addiction, even if he searches the internet for a solution and finds it, he will follow all the instructions given to him without missing a single thing. But if not, he will waste his time looking for a lot of online information and do nothing. But if he seeks help from the people around him and they are people who care about him, surely they will always invite the gambling addict to try and encourage him that he can cure his gambling addiction. There will be people who will always remind him if there is something he hasn't done. Slowly everything will go according to plan until he is finally completely cured of his gambling addiction.

If someone is used to borrowing money from others, it will be easy for him to find people he can borrow money from. And so on until he couldn't find the person anymore because no one would want to believe him because he could never return what he owed them. That person is only looking for his own problems by borrowing money from other people because he shouldn't be doing that, especially since his money is used for gambling where there is no guarantee he can win. But he got guaranteed to lose from gambling and many people have lost from gambling. He should have immediately realized the mistake he made but he didn't and instead,, he continued to make money by borrowing money from other people to use for gambling. It is a circle that he must break but without a strong intention, this will not happen and he will stay in the circle.

A long time ago, I borrowed only once in my life to recoup. This is a very scary feeling mixed with anger and shame towards oneself. I was very lucky that the bet played and I immediately repaid the debt. I have never done anything like this again, and I won't do it. I don't know what would have happened to me now if I hadn't been able to recoup on borrowed funds then.

Now I can afford to borrow only when absolutely necessary. I take this as a matter of principle. And taking loans in order to place a bet or win back is a sign of incompetence and neglect of the elementary basics of financial literacy. But sometimes the desire to recoup is above all other desires. This must be feared like fire and learn from their mistakes.
