As far as I watched interviews with addicted players, the outcome of their addiction is 90 percent loss of family. No loving woman will calmly look at how the living conditions of their married couple are constantly getting worse, until furniture or appliances disappear from the apartment. Nevertheless, if an avid gambler comes to his senses and decides to change his life for the better, then his wife (or girlfriend) will always be happy about it.

After all, our women believe in us, and very often this is the reason for gambler to look at himself from the outside and realize how much the addiction has changed life for the worse.

And if there is a small child, then he can be a very strong motivation for the player to change and be treated. After all, there is no reason in this world stronger than taking care of your child.

Women are too emotional and they do not withtand whenever things are going bad. Men can easily sell their property and use it for another thing but a woman selling a property will make it look as if she is going down emotionally and financially. That is their nature the they attach too much importance to everything. Without them being girlfriends or wives, there are supposed to be many more gambling addict and other types of adding but for the sake of women and their emotions and the love men have for them some persons tend to withdraw when about being addicted or most times they agree to go for therapy in order to repent from addiction just because of wife and family.

Well, it is logical that women perceive financial losses much more emotionally than men, because the upbringing of children is mostly carried out by women and maternal instinct is usually stronger than excitement, which can not be said about men. Although the family and children are almost the only thing that can stop a real player on the edge of the abyss, everything else as a rule does not work, does not frighten neither financial losses, nor the loss of house, car, job, if the passion for the game really makes itself felt.

From the point of view of preserving the family and financial capital, women are much more pragmatic than men.

We all make decisions either with our minds or with our hearts (I mean emotions). And if a player can no longer control himself, this means that he is already making wrong decisions with his mind - his priorities are distorted, and he sees in loans only an opportunity to try to get out of losses (completely ignoring the fact that additional debts can create even more problems for him). Therefore, often an excellent solution for the treatment of a player's addiction is to influence his emotions. And of course, a beloved girl, family, parents and friends are the best solution. Their opinions allow the player to look at himself from the outside. And as a rule, in interviews, dependent gamblers begin to think and recognize the problem at this very moment.
