Not everyone thinks self-care is important especially gambling addicts...no one is coming to save you, the earlier you realize this the better for you, this is the same thing I told a friend of mine that's addicted to gambling...If you don't control your gambling activities you would not be able to achieve anything in life...there are people who are gambling addicts that earn salaries but at the end of the month they lose it all in less than minutes
The problem most gamblers have with gambling is that they go in with the wrong intention, and by the time they have gone far with gambling, they find it difficult to retrace their wrong steps. Especially when they have already made a good amount of money, they feel it is all about the amount of money put into gambling or the number of times they play, and at this point, greed has developed. It is very important for gamblers to be observant of their gambling habits and have a better understanding, as it will help reduce the risk of losing money.
That wrong intentions is what makes them to become addicted too and what give rise to those intentions is because of how they have been miss informed of what gambling really stands for, they saw people or heard about some people that got lucky in the course of gambling, so they want to try luck too but they do it wrongly. Solution is to do the right thing by not making gambling a source of income.
