And the question arises that such a player has already begun to lose so much that it has seriously begun to affect the life of his family or close relatives. And only then did everyone suddenly come to their senses and start persuading that the player should be prohibited from playing and that he should be treated. But everyone should have paid attention to this player’s predilection much earlier. Then it would be much easier to get rid of gambling addiction.
It seems to me that this is a very common mistake made by the player’s relatives and himself.
That is the problem, people often don't notice things until they start creating problems for them, and it's not just about gambling but everything in general. When it comes to gambling, gamblers don't realize it quickly, some don't even do that until they get too deep into the addiction but their families and friends can notice the change before the gamblers themselves, so they should start thinking of a solution as soon as they notice this change.
This is a serious problem and I blame those gamblers for this. No one should start a thing without knowing the good and the bad sides of it if they are wise, and it is through this that the preventive measures would be known for those who are clever. Gambling is good and many have testified to this, but as good as it is doesn't mean that it doesn't have its own evil, it is this evil we have to plan against so that it will never affect us. Even if it does affect us, it will be less if a good plan is enforced. Gambling, if learned from the beginning, people would know that it is addictive and could cause us to lose just as it could earn for us. By knowing this, they will have to get prepared better for it, and if they are well cautious of the addictive part, they will not be too engrossed with it to the point that it will be compulsive to them.
Just like me, I gamble when I want to and I shun it when I want to, this is because I am fully aware of the danger in it. So it helps when we have that prior knowledge, our mindset would have been on the alert, so there will be a strong Willpower to say no when we don't want to play it. Also, about the wastefulness, it is all about our calculation and the right budgets, if we get it right and are disciplined as well, we will not have a wasteful issue with gambling. No one should just gamble because they see it as cheap, informal and accessible, it requires ethics and styles before we can maintain a responsible gambling characteristic.
