Gambling addiction will always be closer to alcohol, drugs and other illegal drugs and we often see cases of someone who is ensnared by the law after being caught stealing money or robbing because they want to gamble again and the reason they steal the money is not just to gamble but to buy alcohol or drugs. and behind alcohol or drugs it is only an outlet for what they hate about themselves who cannot stop gambling but do not have family or friends who can help get rid of their addiction so they choose to destroy themselves by consuming illegal drugs or alcohol.
Another problem here is that all of this is just about irresponsible gambling which ends a person's life very badly in the long run and the story that we are discussing is one of the sufferings of gamblers who cannot stop their gambling activities or cannot gamble responsibly so they already become addicts very serious gambling.
Stealing to gamble? This is the height of it, why not steal to do business or better your life in other ways? I don't know how far this is true, but it might be true because I've seen people doing similar things, only that it's not as bad as this. The fact remains that when we gamble, we should gamble with sense and be sure of what we know and are doing, and gamble with what is not beyond ordinary. Gambling because of alcohol or stealing to gamble fully shows that these people are no more with their senses and the only remedy is for them to get help before it worsens. It's the responsibility of their close people to detect this and get them help, that's if they love them, and also the gambler's responsibility to be willing to change for the help to be effective.
I don't get the point of what you said, stealing to do business? That's ridiculous.
Anyways, as they have said above, people can do unimaginable things once they are consumed in gambling or any other vices. It is indeed the responsibility of the people around them to avoid these things from happening, however, this is not a simple thing to do. Most people hide what they are doing from their family and friends and keep everything from themselves. If this is the case, people around them can't easily figure things out what's going on with a person who's addicted to gambling.
Everything would be known until its been happening or something that they could see and witness on which it is really that most like will really be on the time that gambling had already made a huge damage or impact on you on which other people had already obviously seen up on what happen on you and its true that majority of us doesnt really like to see on whats happening on ourselves because we dont really like on getting discriminated or getting some negative thoughts even in our own family members or relatives and this is why it would really be hidden up as much as possible or simply this is the common case.
You should really be that responsible on whatever decisions that you had made out`because it would really be that affecting your life once you would really be coming into this point.
This is why it is really that important that you should really be that wary when it comes to your actions or else then you would really be able to feel out those unfortunate events which
you didnt really even believe that it would really happen into your life. So better not wait until it would happen, as long you could be able to avoid then avoid it as much as you could!
