For so many years I've moved out from gambling addiction I certainly say that it went a lot of troubles before deciding to quit on this situation. There were times I failed to do so, then again and again committing same habit becoming so bad and it even made me penny less despite of having work those day living in a single life as a person. Only the time when I got married I realized that staying in addiction with gambling would not give me a happy life and seeing my son growing up I couldn't afford to see him suffering because of my financial instability because of gambling. 

It's a matter of pride for you to be able to get rid of your gambling addiction. It's really difficult for you to get rid of that addiction, because basically, if you're married, family happiness is the main key so that your household remains harmonious. and we already realize that gambling destroys us not only materially but also loses our family. if we don't want to change and eliminate bad habits even just to seek pleasure

True, recovering from gambling addiction can be said to be an achievement, because the majority of gamblers who are already addicted are really difficult to do so and maybe I would also say that recovering from addiction is a fortune that is difficult to get by others because it is so difficult to control ourselves when we are so obsessed with gambling. If we talk about the impact, yes of course as you said that the bad impact of addiction will not only destroy us in terms of material but it can also destroy family relationships and I think lately it is not uncommon for family relationships to be destroyed which end in separation because one of their partners is involved in gambling in an excessive way which in turn causes various problems and bad impacts that damage harmony in the family. And this is why we always advise anyone, especially beginners, to always limit their mindset towards winning in gambling, maintain your awareness and never take actions that are beyond your ability.
I totally get what you're saying. Listening to someone talk about their gambling addiction can be really tough. It's crucial to be there for them without judging and to reassure them that seeking help is nothing to be embarrassed about. They're not alone in this. There are plenty of resources available, whether it's seeing a therapist, joining a support group to connect with others who understand, or finding different treatments that work for them. With the right support and determination, they can definitely overcome this. There's a brighter future waiting for them.
