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.

that's right, I agree with you, indeed if the addiction is not stopped immediately then it will get worse in the future, it is possible that the first perpetrator experienced depression which could put them at a point that was very dangerous for themselves such as maybe they could go crazy because of their mental state. who are no longer healthy or they can do unreasonable things such as committing suicide. What you say is correct, someone who is addicted to gambling will not easily be able to accept advice from other people, even if it is from their partner, because I think that when someone is addicted to gambling, it is very possible for them to experience changes in attitude which can make them more stubborn. , tend not to want to accept direction and advice from other people, because they feel that the actions they take are right even though it is detrimental to themselves.

When the gambling we do ends in defeat, we should stop gambling, to calm our thoughts, which if we continue it will just become a mess. If indeed this needs to be done by limiting their use or preventing them from being able to access the gambling platform, what kind of thing? Are you not allowed to use cell phones or anything else connected to the internet? or do meditation in an environment where there is no internet? maybe it can be done but I think everyone nowadays spends their daily lives using cellphones or the internet, so it might be difficult too.
