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.
The root of the problem comes from afar, perhaps from childhood, maybe it was very poor and the player wants to realize himself through gambling in adulthood. And even if he manages to win something, it inevitably brings him back to the game. I even sometimes think that some players cannot explain exactly why they play. They should stop and delve deeply into their thoughts and think carefully, I think that, although a small amount, they would take a pause to better understand themselves, at least it helped me.
I also do not rule out that many people escape into the game to distance themselves from family problems. Maybe they weren't ready to face the responsibility or something like that. We must not forget that there are psychologists who can help, but at the same time we must not forget that among them there are deceivers who pose as specialists. I visited them for some time and it also helped me in the fight against mild addiction.
