It is true with what you said that if we do not immediately overcome the bad thing about our gambling activities, namely "gambling addiction" then this will only make the situation worse. And whether we realize it or not if we ignore the problem of gambling addiction that exists in us, this will have an extraordinary domino effect, because when you are too addicted to gambling and become a gambling addict, you will justify all means in order to get some money to satisfy your lust to go to the casino and do gambling. and not a few people think short and do heinous things in order to get some money which in the end they end their lives behind bars.
Such things really exist. You will continue to justify things and will continue to be in denial of your addictions. It's tough since the battle is inside you and only you who can help yourself to quit and stop.
A domino effect that will continue to worsen the situation both mental and financial and together with
the after-effect to people who surround you, addiction can take you to the extent where control is no
longer in your grasp.
