I had a friend in the gambling circle,he was gambler addicted person over a year.I had advised him many times,but he is not ready to accept my advice in the gambling.Apart from gambling,my friend accept my advice without any hesitation.When I had a time on weekend,I get a chance to meet him in personal.I had some question about his gambling addiction,but the sad part is he is not accepted his gambling addiction towards the gambling site.
He said that he had nearly 64k dollars as a loss in the gambling site.In order to recover that 64k dollars,he keeps on betting from all his economic resources.I had advice him to use only 20 percentage of salary to get away from entire gambling loss.But he is now repeating the same 100 percentage of income from weekly,biweekly and monthly.So he was in the big loan problem.Still he is arranging funds from loan to play gambling,because he think that the recovery was possible at the place where he lost his money.What will be your suggestion for my friend to recover from the gambling addiction.
I think that the reminder you gave to your friend is enough, and he is just really stubborn and doesn't want to listen to advice. There are really people like that who think what they are doing is right, and they will only realize that they are wrong when it is too late.
So, if it were me, I would do the same as you did, as a friend too, because we can only do reminders for our friend; now it's up to him whether he accepts it or not. At least you are important to remind your friend, so in this case we did our part to him/her.
