Many people are going through gambling addiction but they manage to keep it a secret from their families and loved ones. The only people that know about their gambling activities are their close friends. In the event that you are one of those close friend to a gambling addict, do you think it is right to tell their loved ones with the intention that they will be able to talk to him and help him overcome his addiction? Can the advice of loved ones even help? What is the most effective way of going about gambling addiction.
Another aspect to remember is that gambling addiction is a complicated subject, and it is not always simple for the person suffering from it to identify that they have a problem. So, even if you tell your buddy about the issues you have, they may not be ready to hear them or acknowledge the situation. That may be very frustrating, and it's crucial to be patient and not take it individually if they're not ready to hear what you have to say. Even if your buddy admits they have a problem, it's still conceivable that they will relapse. Gambling addiction, like any other addiction, is typically accompanied by a lengthy and tough rehabilitation process.
Talking about curing an addict is always a complicated discussion, because the problem does not lie with us helping them, but the problem lies with the addict himself. Usually an addict will not accept the fact that they are an addict, because maybe they also know that when they are labeled as an addict it is something negative that is attached to them.
I think we are the ones who have to be patient with them, in taking an emotional approach to a psychological approach so that they can accept the fact that they are addicts. If they already accept that, I think it will be easier, because they will most likely listen to what we say to them in the form of advice. We can create so that they can encourage themselves to get out of the problems they face. If it's like that, it will be easier to achieve what you want. However, this cannot be done in a short time, it will take a long time to really achieve this.
