That's right, it's never too late for things that lead to goodness, even if they have experienced such huge losses but if we have a strong awareness and determination as well as a strong commitment as you said then they can get out of this problem from the zone of losses that cannot be predicted. Because indeed to be able to stop gambling I think they need help also from other people such as from their relatives or their spouses if they are married, because indeed gambling addiction is clear that it will definitely cause losses that cannot be avoided with certainty.

That is the right moment to stop gambling addiction and when that time comes, you must maximize it and not be influenced again. Addiction often attacks the human brain gradually and it cannot be completely controlled properly. Forgetting about gambling will be difficult if we still imagine the offer and we have to be prepared for different situations so that we don't remember it again. Family is the right solution and by remembering the good things from it we are also more likely to avoid gambling.

It is a fact that recognizing the importance of one's family is often the key to overcoming gambling addiction. Many individuals who have reached the point of losing themselves to gambling have found that undergoing rehabilitation and psychological testing is an effective way to recover, as their motivation to return to a healthier and more stable lifestyle is often centered around their loved ones. However, it is important to know that having a supportive family is essential in making this possible.

Family is crucial as you have noted to helping an addictive gambler. In addition to what you noted, a supportive family can provide the necessary emotional support to help the individual navigate through the challenges of addiction. They can offer a listening ear, understanding, and empathy, which can help the person feel less isolated and ashamed of their condition. Emotional support can also help reduce the stress, anxiety, and depression that often accompany gambling addiction. Families can assist in finding appropriate resources, such as therapy, counselling, or support groups, and provide transportation or accompaniment to appointments, monitor their loved one’s progress, recognize early warning signs of relapse, and reinforce positive behaviours.
