That's right, in my opinion, someone who is addicted to gambling will find it difficult to recover from their addiction, because someone who is addicted tends not to want to see anything other than their addiction because they will only focus on gambling, which has become something they usually do. but in my opinion it depends on the level of addiction, if their addiction is serious it is possible that they will not be able to stop gambling and as you said they can go back to gambling and it might even get worse in the future.

and if their addiction is not too serious, chances are they can recover in a short time, but it also depends on themselves whether they really want to stop gambling or not, if they are still hesitant about stopping gambling, chances are they will return to gambling again. a certain time because they cannot control their desire to gamble, and even if they still gamble, I don't think they will gamble within the set budget, but to minimize the risk of serious gambling addiction, perhaps this can be done by reducing their gambling activities and by limiting each budget when they want to gamble, but even so it doesn't guarantee that they won't become addicted to gambling.

Yeah, it depends how deep in the addiction the person is.

Also it depends on the why the person wants to stop being addicted.

At the end of the day, addiction is a difficult thing to overcome, and it requires a lot of work and time.

Yes, it's like that, because for example someone who is seriously addicted to it is likely that they will find it difficult to stop gambling because the gambling that has become attached to a person is difficult to get rid of, and also if they don't have the awareness to stop gambling then it will be difficult to recover, even though there is encouragement from the family to help them to leave or to make them aware. In my opinion it cannot make them aware, because they themselves do not have awareness of what they are doing, which is what makes them harm themselves.

No matter how hard they try to help someone become aware of gambling, I don't think they will realize that they themselves don't have their own awareness.

That's because they don't see other things that can provide fun and entertainment and only focus on gambling so they forget to do other things. Indeed, there are levels to gambling addiction and if gambling addiction is very serious, who knows what will happen to them because there are probably many possibilities that could happen to them. Maybe their life has become worse than we imagined because their focus in life has really changed drastically and they can no longer see any opportunity to heal themselves.

They can recover from their gambling addiction, but it requires a strong desire and effort to do so. But most gambling addicts find it difficult to cure their gambling addiction without help from other people so it will be difficult for them to get out of their gambling addiction. There must be a trigger for them so that they can start to realize their gambling addiction and leave behind things that have a bad impact on their life and there also needs to be support from their family to help them cure their gambling addiction. Having self-awareness is something they must have in their efforts to heal themselves and tell their problems to the people around them so they can help them get out of their gambling addiction.


That makes sense, maybe it's true that they don't see other things that give the same pleasure, and indeed in my opinion there are still many other things that are more fun that don't require money to get pleasure. In my opinion, if they are already heavily addicted to gambling, of course their lives will be destroyed, because people who are addicted to gambling tend to only think about gambling and maybe they always prioritize gambling in their lives, and of course prioritizing gambling is not a good thing, because like that it will make them only focus on gambling, even if they don't have enough money but they will try something to be able to make money so they can do gambling again.

I think the main thing is to have your own awareness, before your family or friends who provide support, I think that's the main thing.
