It's get way worse of actually the addicted person decides to keep a secret because that only feeds the addiction to a level that is way above treatment and when reaching that stage, selling and loaning off self property can be the main results because he or she will be deeply associated that whatever means it takes to make money the person would try it and do it.
Sometimes when I see gamblers who have lost their way up to this extent, it makes me wonder if this is just addiction or if there is something behind it, because the way they take it, as if their life depends on it, is just something else, just like this drug addict, when ever they don't see something to take, it is as if their world wants to turn upside down.
