It is difficult to ask for a helping hand when you hide from the closest people that you play gambling. It is not that hard to become a gambling addict. If you ask any gambling addict how he got into such a situation, it is very likely that he will either not admit that he has any problems, or will say that he does not understand how it happened.
The closest people will know that you gamble no matter how it will be hidden they must know it, now imagine gambling is almost everyone knows even though they never play for example.
There will be more people covering up their shame than saying that they are addicted, which is clear that they know how to do it, they just don't explain that they also have the same problem.
Whatever habits we do, of course the people closest to us will know about it and we can't hide it from them, yes of course everyone knows about gambling even if they don't play it and we won't be able to hide it and it would be better for us to gamble by limiting it. the bets we play so as not to have a bad impact on the people closest to us, of course each person will not reveal themselves to be addicted to gambling and they will continue to hide this habit so as not to disturb the people closest to them.
