Yeah, addiction can be tricky because sometimes you might not notice it creeping in until it starts affecting things like your relationships or finances. I realized I was spending too much time and money on certain habits, and something needed to change. It's good to pause and check if you're losing control over how much you're indulging in something, whether it's gambling, vaping, or anything else.
Yes indeed, as a bettor from the beginning until time goes on with the bets made, that bettor will not realize himself entering the period to become addicted. But, if the bettor has many colleagues who have previously experienced addiction from gambling, then at least the bettor will get a lot of input by his colleagues who have experienced addiction first. But, if the bettor does not have anyone and or does not care about the surrounding environment and does not care about advice, then of course over time the bettor will experience addiction that was not realized before. After all, if the bettor realizes that he has entered the period of becoming a gambling addict, then of course they will have some efforts to not fall too deep.
Simple say that it still depends from how a person take things out, like what you mentioned if a peron got someone around him who already suffer from addiction he can use that information if he's open for suggestions or open in terms of poassibilities it might be a good help for him not to allow that same thing happened to him, his attitude and his discipline will prevent him from going the same path.
Though same deal, if he's not concern in anything then the chance of getting addicted is not by far as he'll take the route even there are things that being shared as he will follow his own will and regret after.
