a friend of mine once experienced slot gambling addiction, even he sold some of his valuable assets just for the sake of playing slots, but fortunately he was able to escape from that addiction thanks to his family, it is true that an addicted person can be helped by the people he loves.
However, help from his loved ones will provide maximum results as he fights to recover for them. That will give him greater enthusiasm to undergo every healing process. And even though there are times when he feels it is hard to live, with the love of the people he loves, he can still survive and get back up when he feels heavy and difficult to get through his days. Experiencing a gambling addiction can be cured as long as there is intention and sincerity on his part so that he can heal well.
I see your point and it's true if there's love behind things that your love ones are doing for you, if you are the person who have this problem with gambling addiction, chances that you will see the purest of intention and the help that wanted to conduct, though it's really hard as most of those gamblers who still have money or resources to use are still in the denial stage of addiction,.
They are the one who's really challenging to provide the help or to accept the help that we are trying to give, without realization and self-will. It will take time before you will be able to convince the person.
