I think our encouragement or sincere advice is also one of the great motivations to help people with an addiction easily overcome the temptation of gambling. Especially for those who are married and have children, these members are an excellent reason for them to try, review their responsibilities, and make more effort. Or keep them busy. When you are active, you will no longer have time to think about participating in gambling games. And the last thing that effectively helps them is to work with them to find a solution to completely resolve the consequences they have caused.
Those who are married and have kids find it even more difficult leaving gambling addiction because they usually feel they could possibly make ends meet from proceeds gotten from gambling so they always believe they have this one more chance next to their biggest win to get them to meet up solving they issues they have back at home and probably be free.
But is very unfortunate sometimes they end up loosing the little they have that's nearly not enough to solve the issues to the casino, so they really need help and encouragement from us so as to help them through and still keep them sane enough because at times this is capable enough to get them insane, when they can't provide for their family they feel worse.
Sometimes helping them doesn't mean only encouraging and talking to them, if we can assist them financially or pay for a therapy section for them and very importantly for those who are jobless we could offer them a job and make sure they don't go back to gambling and rather use their paycheck to take care of their family and other challenges and make sure not to loose it to the casino again.
