I know of someone who is so addicted in gambling.who spend his time and all his money in gambling.
Which he is finding difficult to stop or control, irrespective of the consequences that surrounds it, such as relationship issues,lack of finance and emotional breakdown,many people go through so many risks just to be able to fund that lifestyle and majority of them are using gambling as there day to day activities (they make it their job) this set of people or person can loss friends, family and relationship.
Because all there focuses are on gambling, when you come across this kind of people. "all you need is to counsel them" because it's beneficial
I can't help but want to say: so what? I also knew someone like that once. Of course, I wasn't his friend, just an acquaintance. And he lost his family too, but the worst part is that he lost his stake in a big business. He actually gambled away his share of the business. More specifically, roulette. Even at that time, all his relatives gave him advice, even forced him to be treated for gambling addiction, but without success. No amount of advice can influence a person until he decides to change his life.
