Chasing/desperation phase: This is when you have lost so much money that you will do anything to win it back. This may involve lying to friends and family members, borrowing or stealing money in order to gamble, and chasing your losses. By this stage, it is extremely difficult to quit, since the gambler is in so much financial ruin that they are desperate for money.

It sounds just as scary as it is, having to go through all these just to satisfy an urge that could mean you lying to yourself and all that you care about, that’s just worst. Persons under such level of control by gambling don’t need to be left alone, they need to be watched at all times because, you never can tell what they might do to themselves or somebody. Rehabilitation definitely is advised and maybe, just maybe they could find a way out of addiction.
That’s a different level of a irresponsible person, sacrificing everything for the sake of gambling. Imagine, these kind of people are chasing wins in gambling while sacrificin a lot of things for that win, if they can’t evaluate or ratio those things sacrificed to what he’s chasing, then this guy will not have a good run on his life. Poor decision makings and lack of knowledge in life will make things worst if you add gambling in your life. As a grown man, you should at least know the differences of what’s really important, if can’t then you’re hopeless and please don’t ruin the lives of your love ones because of that mistake.
