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.
The point is that gambling addicts deliberately keep it a secret from their family and loved ones for various reasons. As a friend who has known him for a long time, I didn't immediately tell his family or loved ones what he did when he was outside the house for fear of making him angry. I will try to advise him in my own way, if he doesn't listen to my advice, he won't listen to advice from his family or loved ones either.
I would leave him for a few days without telling him where I was, this way he would wonder about my change in attitude. I will tell him that I don't like his attitude of being too addicted to gambling activities, if he respects me as a friend, maybe he will change his attitude little by little.
