Simply put, addiction is a disease that exists in the human brain system where he is obsessed with a certain activity, if for example the activity he likes does not contain any risk then maybe yes there will be no serious impact as happens in gambling, but if the addiction they experience in gambling or in the sense that they really like gambling for some reason then obviously for the problem the impact is definitely significant. On the other hand, one of the things that makes it difficult for someone to get out of gambling addiction is that they usually do not have the right understanding of gambling.
Most of them usually have the intention and goal to make money in gambling so when your goal is like that then obviously it is very difficult for you to get out of this activity because your hopes and beliefs are very high towards winning but in the end the facts keep slapping yourself that most sessions always end in defeat. And yes I agree with you that the impact of gambling involves social relationships with the community, there are many people who are affected indirectly, such as when scenarios where you hang out or have friends who are already addicted to gambling which in the end it is possible for you to experience some problems such as your friend borrowing money to gamble which in the end does not pay and becomes a problem.
What you say is also true, that it could be that people who are addicted to gambling are very obsessed with something which can influence their brain's thinking about how to do it, especially in gambling, many people are obsessed with just winning, so they will do anything for the sake of it. That. chase that victory.
Yes, it is actually difficult to get out of gambling addiction when someone still really wants to gamble based on the obsession to get a lot of winnings, because it is very clear that with that you will never be able to reach the level of consciousness to admit that what you are doing is wrong. So actually the conclusion is that it is difficult to overcome gambling addiction when you still really want to gamble or that means you still really like gambling activities, even though on the other hand you may experience financial problems due to excessive gambling but you will never think of changing or recovering or even you don't feel that you are actually addicted, this is because you still haven't reached awareness or haven't realized that the way you gamble is wrong so there is no thought that leads to changes to recover.
And obviously it means that if someone has been able to reach the level of awareness in themselves as well as realizing that the many problems they feel in life such as in terms of finances are due to treating gambling in the wrong way then obviously from there in my opinion you will start thinking about correcting your mistakes regarding the wrong approach to gambling or even you think about stopping completely.
What you say is very true, it is very difficult to leave the casino if in our hearts and minds we want to continue playing, because it is useless if we force ourselves to stop but want to continue playing, in my opinion this will cause stress. for us and our emotional feelings. of course it will also be disturbed.
Having addictive behavior is very risky for us and takes a long time to cure it, therefore it is true what you said that a gambler must have a high level of awareness to be able to control himself when gambling, don't overdo it. and always be careful in every action he takes.
