Can the advice of loved ones even help? What is the most effective way of going about gambling addiction.
Even hardened gamblers will always listen to their loved ones because of the relationship they built over the years and the blood relationship that binds them, most of the time the key to getting them to rehabilitate those addicted to gambling comes from the help of the family.
There is no other way to cure addiction but to send them to a facility that will help them forget gambling, the cure is very much like drinking addiction, they should be housed in a facility where they are more concentrated on curing the symptoms of addiction.
Addiction worsens if a gambler doesn't take a break from his habit. Few days' rests would help a gambler to regain his self-control and decision making on gambling. People who are close to a gambler will figure out if he's a player earlier before he gets addicted. But, due to the fact his friends think all will remain in control, they wouldn't care advising him at the early stage. When the player gets compulsive, they'll try to talk to him, but it's the wrong moment to advise a gambler. Even his loved ones can't change him immediately, they'll still have to undergo rigorous misunderstanding, before the addict will listen and consider visiting a therapist. Restriction works best in recuperating a gambler's brain. If a gambler is kept in a place or around people where he wouldn't have access to gambling, for few weeks, he'll have a rethink on his past gambling experiences. This will help the gambler to have a bit control over his gambling habit, in future, when he's out of the place. An addict will hardly change if gambling platforms are easily accessible to him. All the advise may not be effective if he still thinks of going to gamble.
