Perhaps the gambler has to experience a very big loss and make him sink so that he can really realize that he has made a fatal mistake. If so, he really doesn't care that he has a very serious gambling addiction and only has to wait for it to break down before he can realize his mistake. We shouldn't be like that, and if we have experienced a losing streak and there is a desire to return to gambling or even continue gambling, that means we have started to experience a gambling addiction. We must immediately find a way to overcome it. Don't let gambling addiction dominate our minds because it will be very dangerous for ourselves and the people around us. It's better for us always to be responsible when playing gambling and always be disciplined in spending money on gambling so that we don't experience any problems from gambling because we have to control ourselves, and it's not gambling addiction that controls us.
That's also what we have to do for our friends if there are friends who are already addicted to gambling. We must try to help him become aware and willing to accept our advice and be willing to undergo treatment for his gambling addiction. We must be able to accompany him so that he doesn't get too deep into gambling and can use gambling as entertainment.
Yes, that is the best way to provide awareness to gambling addicts who can no longer be given advice or direction so that they can recover and return to normal if gambling is also just for fun with limited time and finances.
It can't be that easy because when someone has experienced gambling addiction they will forget about everything, especially the awareness of being able to overcome the addiction problem.
Maybe you can say that when you feel addicted to gambling you have to be aware and find way to overcome it, but have ever experienced phase where really couldn't stop gambling so were categorized as gambling addict?
I have experience in gambling addiction and all of that made me lose lot of things, I will say that it is difficult to be conscious and immediately find way to overcome gambling addiction before we have nothing left to money and lose the people around us that we.
When you have reached this point, conscious thoughts can appear by themselves without the need for encouragement or advice from other people.
