Well, at this juncture, I wil have to say and make it categorically clear that, not every gambler who are or is addicted to gambling is this gullible and senseless, some addicted gamblers still have their sense of reasoning and can still think out of the box to know what is wrong and what is right, and some still do consider and put their family first in all their gambling activities, though rare you might want to say, which is correct, but then, very possible.
I do have once come across a gambling addict who still will never borrow money to gamble, he told me he feels relaxed and comfortable anytime he doesnt have money to gamble with, and at this point, he feels like he's no longer addicted to gambling, like he's never gambled before.
But then, his problems was that, immediately salary is paid or he gets money through some menial jobs he used to do, he will become completely restless, and until he gambles all that money away, he would not find rest, this to me seemed like a highest form of addiction to gambling, and I even sometimes imagined that his problems was spiritual, but never did I see or hear he borrowed money to gamble in all the years we lived in the same area.
Yes, that's true because gamblers who are addicted to gambling have lost their minds so they don't want or can't stop gambling like other people. They want to gamble and whatever happens, that's what they want. But if they can still think rationally, they may still be able to be responsible with themselves and their families so that they try not to experience a worse gambling addiction. They will still try to stay aware of their gambling addiction even though they still often return to gambling.
It would be good if he didn't have money, so he didn't gamble and didn't think about borrowing money. The only unfortunate thing is that when he gets paid, he uses all his money to gamble, and that is a problem that he has to solve because, after all, he will lose all his salary. Maybe he really needs to find another activity that also pleases him so he can avoid gambling and still have money. Even though it was difficult for him, he still had to try for his own good because his money should be used for other important things.
