Correct. Gambling responsibly is very necessary, especially if we are a husband or head of the family. think about how we really make gambling with limits without having to lose a lot of assets which puts our small family in danger because assets continue to be sold because of the addiction of gambling.
I don't know what does "head of the family" mean, but you are right about this: if we have people that rely on us, we shouldn't let them down. We should drink responsibly because as overdrinking is not only bad for the health, but for our budget too. Same with gambling. Excessive gambling is bad for our mental health and it's usually bad for our budget.

I think a lack in social relationships can be a trigger for gambling addiction in the first place. I am quite sure that there is data on the degree of isolation of people and how it affects them in terms of susceptibility to addictions. If someone has great relationships all around him or her, it is much less likely that that person is wasting time in front of a screen gambling online I suppose. But once an addiction kicked in, it is of course as helpful to have intact social relationships. But with intact I mean that it is not enough to just have them, it is important to have those that are willing to raise their voice and tell you that something is wrong. Often times people with close relationships are too afraid to talk openly to each other
because they think they hurt each other. That's not simple at all.
Exactly. It's a very delicate question, and it's better to leave to the professionals then.
