That's the severe and worst part of gambling addiction and such addicts almost forget about all moral values that they have learned throughout their life. They even sell belongings of their parents, siblings, and sometimes their wives.
I tell you and is very bad for one to go extra miles in borrowing money to cover up for their gambling activities, it's sure a pure state of gambling addiction just like someone that can go miles to smoke or take illicit drugs. And it sure tarnish and destroys ones image not to talk about loved ones being affected from it as well and thus an addiction are very penetrating so the need for opting out it's better.
