This is the reason that I have always said that the best way to cure a gambling addict is when the person realise that they are very much addicted and the person involved who is the victim understands that they need help. That is the fastest way to rescue someone who is addicted. If someone is truly addicted, but they do not understand that they are addicted, all the effort you put in stopping the addiction will result to nothing. Thereby rendering their efforts fruitless. That is why it is fine to first convince someone that they need help before rendering help to them.
It's just a general thing. For someone to get corrected when they are wrong in their actions, they must first acknowledge that they were wrong before they will accept the advice you are giving them; otherwise, you are just beating around the bush, and they will still do whatever they have on their mind the moment you just let them go. There was this friend of mine in school who was so addicted to gambling that his parents tried a lot of strategies to help him get out of this addiction, but every attempt was futile, and I know the problem the guy has is that he has not really realized that his habit towards gambling is so terrible; only if he realizes it, then he will limit how he gambles.
Without realizing the mistake there's nothing to expect from the person but to continue playing, they will keep on doing the same routine even their love ones are trying their best to help, though we really can't say whether the person will realize his own mistake and will try to help himself, from that realization sooner or later the help that you are sending will be appreciated and will start to manifest.
Just keep trying if you really love the person and you really wanted to help with the addiction that the person possesses.
When a person realizes the magnitude of their addiction problem and knows that they need help and they know it, because things happen faster, it is a great facility because if they are aware of that problem, then the help must be desired Immediately, and although things are quite strong when it comes to these things about gambling, and its addiction, you have to submit to the things they tell you, at once the professional help of a psychologist is necessary , because it is the simplest way what I see in order to be Able to face this problem must be Attacked once and for all, so it Implies that the person leaves the casino and the games for a While as well as sports Betting.
All matters with self realization and some common sense but we know that there are people who do really misses out on doing so just because they do tolerate out their addiction and dont mind on whatever things that could possibly happen if ever they would really be making out some action. They dont really mind ahead as long they could be able to cater out their leisure or addiction upfront.
Being responsible is something that you should really be that minding on the time that you do encounter or doing gambling because with this then you would really be able to avoid possible addiction which
would really be the main cause on why people do really experience unfortunate events into their lives. It is really just that right that you should really be that sensible towards your actions.
If you do have that kind of treatment towards gambling as a form of fun then it would be no issue but on the time that you are treating it as a source of income then this is where main problem starts.
Motives and insights are the main culprits which it would really be slowly decaying you out.
