Addicted gamblers are seen across every neighborhood where gambling shops or casinos exist. They share almost similar stranded looks, when trying to seek for financial help. I've also watched players change from addiction to not gambling at all. Although, some gamblers whom I know bet on video games, and they're addicted to doing this, however, they sometimes tend to stop. In addition, most experiences were read online, because associating with addicts isn't something I'd pick as a hobby or thing I like doing. Unless the player reaches out for help on ways to stop being addicted, then I could be of help. Some addicts in our neighborhood, while growing up were so buried in addiction that their family had to disclose the problem to a wider range of listeners. Yet those moves never made any changes on the player, they still try as much as possible to continue player, regardless of what people think about them in the society.
I am not sure that every addicted gambler shows their addiction to the outside world.
In many cases it can just be something that is deep down. You basically need to watch their behavior, not how they look.
Therefore, in society we should pay attention to the behavior of certain types of people, sometimes some standards do not match, they reveal their addiction and let their behavior cause bad things.
Yeah, being observant of the people close to us, is crucial in helping us come up with the right conversations, questions, and examinations that would suit or help change their gambling habit. Lack of emotional intelligence in society is the problem humans have in dealing with psychological disputes such as gambling addiction. Sometimes when having a conversation with people who have harbored an addict, they tend to have a quarrel and misunderstanding with the addicted person. Hence, developing difficulty in having a smooth or successful discussion with the addict.
All they need is time to have a healthy conversation. About what they love to discuss, especially what they love. Putting the addict on a strand mood or getting agitated, shows the person is ignorant of emotional intelligence. Whatever sickness acquainted with the brain, shouldn't be rushed. No quick process or drug for setting up the brain right back into normal, when it gets scattered. It's the main reason players should be careful not to get addicted. Because their brain would have to take a longer time to set up as usual in the past. Therefore, displaying the past and present to the addict levels up the healing process.
