What stopped me from doing "stupid things"? Well, I can't say that I didn't do them. On the contrary, I did them in large quantities, because I didn't think about the consequences. Everything stopped because I started getting threats from collectors and banks, from whom I borrowed money to continue gambling. I was so carried away by all this that I didn't even have time to think about those close to me who would also face this. Everything was automatic. I immersed myself in this world head-on and didn't want to notice anything else. Everything went so far that I had to take emergency measures.
Immersing yourself in a prolonged state won't solve the problem. I think you need to get back on your feet as soon as possible. What emergency measures would you take, such as borrowing from your closest relatives? It is possible that if the borrowing stage is still at a reasonable stage and not too high, there is a big possibility that they can help each other. If it is more than expected or the debt is large, of course this will bring new problems to your brotherhood. I think it doesn't happen automatically but is done with full awareness from you, what causes you to gamble by borrowing a loan? Do you want to chase your losses or do you want to conquer the casino? Gambling should be done responsibly and for fun. If we experience a total loss, we are not too burdened or think too much about the loss that occurred because we already know the risks in gambling.
