is it ok for your family to know that you are gambling?
or you don't share at all and keep a secret about it?
how is your experience on telling the person you love about your gambling habits?
If my family finds out about my gambling addiction, it shouldn't be a big problem, but if people in my community find out about my gambling, they might look down on my family. So for now, to protect my family from being looked down upon in the eyes of society, it would be best to keep my gambling private from my family and my society. That's why I think those whose families and society don't know about gambling should keep it a secret from their families and society.
Their is nothing to be ashamed about if people know about your gambling addiction. One of the reasons why most gamblers that are addicted struggles with addictions is because they hide it which they don't want to talk about it with anyone. I believe when people know about addiction struggle in gambling, help can come from anywhere. If you are struggling with addiction it is better to speak out because if you keep it secret it can be very difficult to overcome it.
If a gambler really wants to fight against addiction, it is better for him to know others about his gambling addiction. In this way, the gambler may get some help from others. But those who do not want to tell others about their addiction are rather influenced by gambling addiction. They gamble to win more. They do not want to tell anyone about their gambling so that they do not get interrupted by others in any way. If a gambler is not addicted but is able to conduct responsible gambling, then there is no problem even if he does not tell others about his gambling. But in the case of those who are addicted, it is definitely necessary to tell someone about their gambling so that they have a chance to recover from it.
As it should be but we do know that not all gamblers will really be having this kind of mentality on which they will really be that not wanting to let others know on what his current condition it would be and thats why at the moment that you do get addicted with gambling then the primary thing that comes up into your mind is to hide yourself on playing out because once that someone do find out specially your wife or girlfriend then it might be ending up on a chaos. Even letting others know that you are into gambling then this will really be that resulting into that particular argumentation hen it comes into this aspect.
Not all the time that sharing up your problem will really be able to resolved out and not all addicts will really be thinking or having this kind of mentality that you can be able to make yourself that letting others will really be that useless. The key on here for your addiction to be stopped is actually it is really just that on your mind on which you are the ones whose really that the power on stopping up addiction all at once.
