Will have that difficulty as they can't accept the truth that it was their actions that brings them to that situation, though once they realize and accept it, help can come around and back them up, gambling is a form of a risky activities if you failed to control then you are not by far to experienced addiction, it's always good to treat it as form of entertainment since you'll not going to hook yourself that much and if ever that you lose you can move forward and let the amount go, treating it as payment for having the enjoyment that you gain while playing.
It is clear that gambling is an activity that does have a big risk, many people who fall deeper into gambling because they ignore the risks that they should actually pay attention to, and this ignored risk is because they only think about winning so they don't think about the risks because they are focused on winning and ignoring other things, even their own safety is ignored when they only focus on gambling. In addition, gambling can indeed divert our focus quickly, where we can only focus on gambling and ignore other things around it, I feel this myself.
I am very sure that something that makes them ignore the risks or consequences of gambling is because they are too focused on winning, basically yes I also understand that getting money is something very fun but the problem is that winning in gambling is nothing more than an opportunity that you can't necessarily get every time you play, on the other hand this is the reason why we must always be rational in every time we find new things, none other than so that we avoid misunderstandings, because that's the only thing that can help us from various unwanted things, and we can see that gamblers who are too focused on winning often experience many bad impacts in their lives especially in terms of their finances, this is because from the start they only see gambling from the side of the chance of winning but do not pay attention and consider the consequences, in the end yes we can use the experiences of gamblers who experience various bad impacts as examples and learning materials.
