Very unfortunate that gamblers don't see the negative impact of their gambling addiction. These gamblers don't wonder why some of their relatives hate them and have no close friends anymore because of their changing behavior.
It's because they are focus on what they're doing and not giving attention to those people around. In this state, the gambler is already addicted or bound to be one. That's why it's really crucial to gamble in moderation and don't let gambling affect you negatively to the point you don't care anymore to what's going on outside gambling. Though it's not right, many gamblers are still becoming addicted despite the reminders since they're motivated to gain huge.
Gambling can be very addictive but we have to put it in moderator for us to stay safe so we don't have to later complain of not getting results. People are really making money in gambling and there are some that can not keep the money because they don't have the self discipline to stay little or reduce the way they are gambling. We can still make money if we know what we are doing and how we can balance things in a way that would be very profitable for us. It is good we are always motivating ourselves so that we don't have to end up with the wrong part when we gamble for the sake of making money.
One bad effect of being addicted in gambling is that the very person who's addicted finds it difficult to believe his close relatives and friends who are trying to make him see reasons with his gambling addiction. I was once an addicted gambler who went to the most extreme part of gambling addiction but when I was told of my excesses then, I never believed the people that were trying to help me get out of gambling addiction. It was after I lost a very valuable asset because of my uncontrollable gambling engagements then that I came back to my full senses and decided to put an end to my gambling addiction.
My gambling addiction affected the lives of close relatives then as I would occasionally want to take their money without their consent to go and satisfy my addiction but after I stopped gambling and recovered from my addiction, I begged my family members to forgive me which they did forgive me
