But when looking at the condition that is already severe in terms of addiction and continues to sell what they have, it is actually quite difficult to sober up gamblers like this before they really realise on their own when they have lost everything they have.
There are many examples of this happening where those who are addicted and cannot control their gambling activities actually do more and sometimes with unreasonable bets just because they want to restore the situation that is not in their favour.

But in the end this is clearly a mistake that is getting fatal and they know it but they don't want to admit directly that what they did was a mistake because this will make them regret it from the beginning. Those who are already at this point will not stop before what they want to do happens by gambling continuously until their money and assets are exhausted and only then do they regret what they have done.

One knock out realization will hit them hardly. Once their loved ones start to talk to them with sense, that's one way to wake them up.
And when they have nothing left anymore and they have noticed that, that's going to hit them very badly, critically.

Because ultimately the best way for someone to realise that the importance of self-control in gambling is to lose so that when they have felt a loss then surely they will try to reorganise and think about the actions that they have finally done as a form of evaluation.

I say this because I have experienced a point where I lost quite a large amount of money in terms of nominal which was a turning point for me to be more mature than before. Although it cannot be denied that until now I still gamble but as much as possible I try to focus more on myself so that I don't get stuck in the same way as before which makes me lose quite a lot and I always limit and try not to cross the limit when I have lost the nominal amount that I have agreed with myself every week.
