Yes, that may be true, I slightly agree with something that seems to match the reality experienced by the gamblers there. True, their quality of life can suffer as a result of gambling that they have absolutely no control over in their minds, so it is only natural that gamblers always have strange assumptions and expectati ons.
Yes, for people who have managed to go through a difficult period such as the process of refraining from all temptations from gambling and managed to get out of the addiction zone, they will be able to find out about what things they should avoid, because of course they certainly don't want the mistakes of the past to be repeated again, but it also depends on the person because obviously everyone has a different personality and nature, especially for those who have a character easily provoked and provoked, it is quite difficult to be able to do something like that, And I think they will only be able to realize by recognizing the signs that they will be worse off if they continue gambling. I think that only applies to those who are not too addicted, because as you said before for those who are already addicted, their mindset is very disturbed and all they want is gambling, nothing else and that is the reason why they are difficult even just to look for signs that can have a worse impact..
That is why if you approach gambling, you must be prepared for all the consequences because many people are not ready for the risks behind gambling, so many of them end up experiencing gambling addiction without being able to cure their gambling addiction. They don't realize that they are actually addicted to gambling and don't want to stop before they are satisfied with getting what they want. Perhaps we have also seen this happen to people close to us, so we witnessed firsthand what happened to that person and especially their family, who could not endure what that person experienced.
Therefore, if you feel that you are getting too close to gambling, you should immediately distance yourself from gambling because it will make it difficult for you to leave gambling, especially if you just want to use gambling to get pleasure. In fact, if you realize it, you can get other pleasures that don't require money to get. You will not be able to see that you are actually too deep in gambling. Even if someone else advises you to leave gambling, you will not believe that he is telling the truth.
Yes, in my opinion, the initial problem that makes them finally stuck in such a cycle is that they come in a hurry because they see other people who managed to get a big win so that in their arrival they did not think at all about what risks there are in gambling, and in my opinion that is why they are stuck in a slump. Conditions like this are indeed very confusing in my opinion, it is true that there are still many logical suggestions for them but all of that is too late buddy, they will be very difficult to accept advice from others if they have entered the addiction zone, because it is clear as you said that all they think about is satisfaction in gambling, not at all thinking about what the impact will be as terrible someday.
Honestly, if the condition is like that, I can't be sure when they can realize their mistakes, maybe they can only wait for the time, hopefully they can really get bored with gambling and can realize all their mistakes, that's all.
