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.
We should be always that type of friend in deed. If I have a friend, I mean a close friend, I will definitely have one or two of his close relative that I will know, not for anything but for emergency cases like this. If I have a friend who is gambling addicts and I and I saw the symptoms, we will definitely have that discussion and will make sure he quits as long as we are friends. Addiction is really a bad thing to see someone deal with and a friend should be there in there difficult moments.
However, if I try and I didn't see changes, that discussion is going to his family next because I'm not going to let him sink with such problem. If the family knows about the gambling thing, I'm confident that they are going to get him all the necessary help he might need. He might be angry for if I do that but if he eventually get out that cage of addiction, he will thank me tomorrow for standing by him.
