I will advice him to stop gambling. I will not help him at all than to buy only food for him and it will not be expensive ones but cheap ones. He should stop the addiction and start a better life. It is as simple as that.
This isn't a bad idea and considering the fact that you are willing to help makes you a good person. But from experience doing all of these things might not tackle the situation, even after giving advice there are lots of gamblers that would still continue gambling. They might promise to make a change but it's going to be all pretence because their focus hasn't changed. Changing an adducted gambler isn't easy
Yes, it is very difficult to bring back those who are really gambling, in my opinion that if a gamble wants to be better, they should be given a chance a few times. But whether it is advice or financial help. I think people never make the mistake of helping for the first time, if that money is re -gambling then he should not be given the second time. However, if he changes the plan, as he wants to do business, then he should borrow not much about his past and borrow from him at the right time. Yes, it is exactly a addictive gamble that can never change the mindset. That is why it is necessary to focus on other tasks so that the gambling addiction is reduced. In the beginning, it will be a little trouble, but it will be better later.
