I have come across Local gamblers who are addicted to gambling and had ruined their selves by themselves til they ran bankrupt yet they borrows money to gamble at all means even While being indebted.
Theses sets of gamblers doesn't have remorse nor conscience about their gambling lifestyles instead their friends and relatives are the ones who bears the shameful consequences the addicted gambler brought to their circle of relationships.
At the virtue of getting the unbearable situations to an end, the relatives broadcasts the chronic addicted gambler at all costs of gambling boards never to give him privileges to gamble in any of the Gambling arenas anymore else they (the relatives) would sue the gambling boards owner.
This is just how recklessness could mess your life of you can't take control to gamble responsibly.
Take note and be aware that your way of gambling could affect your relationships and the circle of your relatives.
There are always going to be a small amount of people who take any passion to the extreme and it comes back to a lack of self control really. Unfortunately the only person that can change their bad situation is the gambler themselves, which often involves a very painful exercise of letting go of all prior losses and accepting that they will never get that money back. This often only comes when they have exhausted all other avenues of raising money and realize that it's all been a waste for a short term buzz. Sadly many people can get hooked on gambling because they find it an outlet for other stresses and pressures in life, so it may be a period of readjusting as they confront multiple problems.
Yes self-control will always be a preventive solution in gambling, there is nothing other than self-control because gambling has elements that can make someone addicted, and yes it is true as you said that only they themselves can save themselves from bad impacts or all possibilities undesirable bad, meaning this is what makes addiction a disease that is difficult to overcome because the disease is in the person's own mind which is caused because their interest in gambling is very high, and in some cases when we try to make them aware but often they claiming that we are someone who interferes too much in their affairs.
So it's difficult to help them and in my opinion it's just a matter of time, in the sense that it's very likely that they will only be able to get out of their addiction phase when they have experienced significant negative impacts that make them feel traumatized or that make their lives very miserable, and perhaps this incident can make them realize that their perspective and mindset towards gambling is very wrong
Yeah, and the ability of self-control over gambling habits is the gamblers awareness that ignorant to self-control can jeopardize ones reputations then, the agility to take control of oneself is developed.
Right mined gambling addicts considers the effects of their relationships with others and then take it a challenge to fight it out otherwise the careless ones would always stay adamant fully loaded of irresponsibilities and does not care about the effects of their loved once.
