The madness of gambling addicts.

[Accardo]

Occurrence like the old man and his family should serve as a lesson to people who wants to venture into gambling. They need to understand that if they don't follow some good routines when gambling they can lose out their control and misbehave. Doing things that would land them in jail. Then families on the other hand should begin to put their ears on the ground regarding the activities of a family member who gambles a lot. So that they can understand what exactly to be done to help the person out of his troubles. Because, when a little trouble is neglected it'll buzz to a bigger trouble which can diminish the growth of the family. Gamblers are expected to stay learning before and after joining the gambling niche. The elderly man may have been neglected and wasn't asked about why his money keeps running low. As a problem can't ignite without a symptom. His family may have seen that he's consistently asking for money. But didn't ask questions. In a nutshell, families and newbie gamblers should learn from things like this, and abstain from being victims.

Just by gambling more often can cause them to lose control of themselves in gambling, so we really have to be able to pay attention to ourselves when gambling. We must not be like those who have lost a lot of money from gambling because it is not worth it for us, especially for those of us who, from the start, only wanted to use gambling as entertainment. When someone has become addicted to gambling, they can do all the things they can do and even those that don't seem to make sense, so it makes many people question why they can do that. This is just a small example of what has happened in society that we must avoid because, after all, experiencing a gambling addiction can be dangerous for our lives and those of our families, so we must really be able to prevent it from happening to us.

Gambling often times is stressful and could derail a gambler's brain power to reason in a smart way. Most gamblers we've came across misbehaving were not gamblers, but the moment they began gambling they abused the rules of the game. Not sure they knew the rules. They only played gambling without any orientation or research about the need to gamble. Many of them gambled because of peer influence, and after multiple years of engaging in gambling, they can't stay a day without gambling. Some of which does not stop after being cured of addiction, still gamble, but limits it. Hence, I'd say that those gamblers only begin to learn about gambling after they've been cured of their problem gambling. Then those who followed the rules of gambling and still got addicted where actually not giving the brain a break to rest. Thereby overworking themselves to the point their thoughts wasn't conducive for gambling.

It is true that the big disadvantage of gambling is losing a lot of time with our family or loved ones. Gambling enthusiasts only think about how to get money from winning gambling matches and return the money they have spent in losing. In fact, it is not uncommon for us to meet gambling enthusiasts who are willing to leave their families just for what they say is to have fun and earn money.
However, when they start to realize that they are very depressed, no one cares about them anymore because their relationship has just been thrown away. they think no one cares about their situation, even though they themselves have thrown it all away.

Loosing family time due to gambling is mostly common amongst addicts as normal and responsible gamblers know how to schedule their time such that they will have enough time to spend with family and still have time to gamble regardless of how much time they spend at the casino a.d that's why they are seen as responsible because they have that discipline that helps them regulate their habit.

Because of the ability to not been able to regulate how much they gamble, the irresponsible and addicted gamblers could then get into depression especially after they must have suffered a huge loss, it's also common for most family members to want to despise addicted gamblers because they may feel his attitude may turn out a problem for them.amd they wouldn't want to be associated with such hence they despise them and even when they become depressed they don't have someone to get to because maybe family is gone.

It happened in our country in Bangladesh the illiterate people of slum they are not properly aware with gambling they don't know management they just play and earn. That is risky for that reason they lost huge more then they earn. That's the reason they suffer in their family. Gambling madness goes extreme become when they are in loss they are fully crazy to recover it and that type of madness are fully seen in the slum areas of our country.

In my country, I am also often found like this, especially in the slums that have a dense young population. In a country that has a high level of poverty, education about gambling is really almost not in distribution, this is the reason that causes many people who live in slums, it becomes addicted to gambling.
The effect is not only that, in slums there will usually be also drug trafficking - prostitution - robbery, things like this are accustomed to being seen in slums, only a few have survived negatively things like things, and for chronic gambling addicts, they must have a broken family and that for sure.

Knowledge about gambling, as for me, is spread very poorly in society everywhere. There are many myths and misconceptions around this knowledge. In general, this topic is largely taboo. After all, they don’t talk about this, for example, at school. What if gambling was discussed in school in a negative way? I think this would only make students more interested. After all, as you know, the forbidden fruit is sweet. Students would decide to try and test in practice the theories that adults tell them about. It's a bit like sex education. There are a lot of delicate boundaries here.

Yes that's right, in general and overall gambling activities do have a negative point of view in the eyes of society, none other than because this is an activity that bets money where how it works is only dependent on luck, so there will only be two answers, namely winning and losing while on the other hand the casino will not be defeated which means the number of losers is more than the winners and it causes someone involved to eventually experience financial problems to get into debt along with other problems such as depression which certainly makes a negative public perspective on gambling knowing this bad impact.

Although the view of gambling is very bad in the eyes of society but it may not be that simple to enter and get involved, it requires a scenario where there is an indication or something that seems to invite someone to get involved and bet, as you said in a school environment, it makes sense when you say that the theory of gambling in schools will only make students curious and then interested in trying something that is explained negatively by one of the teachers, ignorance of what gambling is along with curiosity combines and combines into one goal which is to try and get involved.

Sometimes I ask my family about how busy I am  so far that I don't have time for them or not. the answer was normal, in the sense that they didn't feel like I was busy myself or wasting time  gambling. However for me I feel that the time spent is quite long. You must know that we sometimes lose track of time when we are busy staring  at the computer in the middle of the night etc. Because it's my job to work at home but I feel like my time with my children is often disturbed.

I seriously want to reflect and  measure my time  between working, gambling and accompanying my family. Things that until now are still difficult  to regulate. So how do you  think I can be more disciplined in this regard?

I think the only possible way is to completely quit with your will and make sure not to think about it anymore, after that, when everything already fresh, you can try to work out with your relationship and spend all your time to accomplish your will to repair everything.

Starting over from scratch once more? That certainly presents a formidable challenge, doesn't it?

Making the choice to cease frequenting casinos and abstaining from gambling any further is indeed a commendable decision. However, it must be acknowledged that simply relinquishing one's indulgence in gambling will not suffice in rectifying all predicaments, such as the strain inflicted upon familial bonds. The journey of rebuilding trust is an arduous undertaking, for it can be obliterated in a mere moment. Moreover, we must bear in mind that not everyone possesses the capacity to embrace our imperfections nor can they wholeheartedly embrace our shadowed past. This contemplation arises due to the apprehension surrounding whether or not the individual is on the correct path...for he yearns to enhance his existence and refrain from replicating his previous missteps.
However, one must understand that no effort is in vain when attempting to enhance one's current limitations. Therefore, it is crucial to maintain this resolve and refrain from allowing external influences to dictate the need for transformation. The apprehension lies in the possibility that ultimately, individuals may not embrace your existence, leading to a sense of despair that could result in desperation and subsequently, impulsive decisions.

They will not only lose their money, but they will also lose their precious time. Lost money can be found again, but if time is lost, where do you want to look for it. And maybe you will not only lose your personal time, but you will also lose time with your partner and family. Because you have prioritized the gambling you do, compared to other activities.
So quite a few people whose romances are destroyed because of their bad behavior in gambling, their families become disharmonious because they often abandon them. And there are quite a few whose households have been destroyed, simply because they prioritize their gambling activities over family matters. Maybe we can look for a partner again, but unfortunately when our children often feel neglected and don't get attention from their parents, this will be the reason why a child chooses to hate and not respect their parents. And when a child hates his parents, then who will you use as a place to go home to?

Every gamblers had their own game plan in the gambling site,because they win the game and fly to the vacation.But some gamblers do the game and loss the game and then keep depositing the money after the losses.This steps to recover the losses in the gambling site after the huge loss in the gambling site.The gamblers who loss the money many times will become the gambling addicted by playing the huge game to recover the loss.The gamblers who lose the entire savings and profit in the gambling site will be hated by their own family members.The children who get to know about the gambling at the early stages will be the victims of making huge money in gambling site.

Unfortunately a life where you are not limited by others do seem like a greater deal to many people, and divorce rates are much higher nowadays than back in the day because of it. I am not saying directly related to gambling, for some people it is gambling, for others it's gaming, some going around with friends, there could be a million reasons, people just do not like that there is someone else who tells them not to do something, so they get a divorce and do what they want.

I always found that terrible, that is noble love, if the love of my life (my wife) tells me to stop, I would stop and I would do anything to see her happy, but I also understand others. Gambling is an addiction, when someone tells you to stop, they say it for your goodness.

The myths and taboos surrounding it are similar to those surrounding sex education. Lack of conversation promotes curiosity, especially in students. The "forbidden fruit" applies - labeling something off-limits makes it enticing. What if we approached this differently? Imagine schools teaching about gambling to demystify it. We can help children comprehend gambling by emphasizing its facts, risks, and psychological effects. Curiosity may encourage some to experiment, but isn't educated decision-making better than ignorance? Factual, non-sensational gambling discussion may lessen the attraction of it. Gambling is part of the world. Bringing this matter out may help us think better. Understanding gambling as a social phenomenon is the goal. Open discourse may lead to more responsible behavior. I think it's a possibility worth exploring.

In a sense, you are right. I don’t even know what’s better or what’s worse—a complete ban or widespread discussion. But it’s still better to have a discussion, and especially a discussion of sensitive topics. People will always strive for their own experience, even if it is traumatic. After all, if a person gets involved in this, it means he feels some critical gaps in his understanding of the world. And it is traumatic experience that gives such understanding. I understand that this point of view will not be easy for everyone to agree with. But it is so. We greatly underestimate the value of experience, especially negative ones.

Well you are right, in particular I have always been a person who has done things based on the fact that things in the game have their own rules, that is, when we are playing we have to know that the rules are basic, the casino always has the advantage of the house, and that any other move that we make cannot be that we beat the house, knowing this we have to be clear that things can be very different when we try to establish them in some way, that is, we try to win, but we know that we have to take advantage of the moment when we have good luck, and that is when we can have a profit that benefits us, of course we are people who must also understand that when things are trying to be done well, we have to take advantage of every window of opportunity, I personally have learned that over the years with my experience in games, and I can say that the game is for those who have their plans well established and with enormous discipline, something like When we are in a sport that we have to have discipline, well that is how important I see the attitude we must have in the games.

Now when we are in a casino, you may see people who give a lot of importance to everything that has to do with the games and they take a lot of time and make you think about it all the time, it is normal, but We have to have a prior plan, because falling into an addiction is the last thing we should do, for that reason we must do everything possible to control ourselves, and to know what to do, that is why I have always said, the best weapon to avoid Addiction is putting money completely ready to lose and from there if you lose, do not deposit more, and if you win, then the recommended thing is to withdraw that money, there is no other way, it should always be done that way.

Yes, the casino is the owner of the business, and they are the ones who will get the biggest profits, so whatever gambling game we play doesn't guarantee that we can win either. We can only be careful when gambling and always monitor how we use our money so that we don't lose too much. By always paying attention and being wise about gambling, we can avoid any problems that could occur and we can avoid loss after loss. We cannot fight casinos. If we decide to gamble, we will experience defeat again. And if we win but don't immediately stop and gamble again, it will also make us lose again. Usually, the last loss will trigger the frustration and stress we experience and make us intend to continue gambling. We can indeed take advantage of existing opportunities. But we cannot force those opportunities to give us victory because there is still a house that will be the biggest winner from the losing gamblers. And if we don't want to be among the gamblers who lose a lot of money, we must immediately end the gambling game.

If we have experienced loss after loss, we must immediately realize that we must immediately stop gambling and stay away from the casino. Otherwise, we will be dragged into the casino to play some gambling games, resulting in another loss. And when we are dragged into it, our emotions will increase because we have lost self-control so we cannot prevent the next loss. That is why we must have good self-control to prevent the desire to continue gambling so that we can save the remaining money to use for gambling another day. And I agree with you that you should put money that is ready to lose so that other people don't intend to continue gambling, especially when we see that there is still other money left. It will only plunge us into gambling and maybe we won't realize that we are too deep in gambling.

Yes, it is the best we can do, for example I never fall into addiction because at the time I was a newbie and I saw that I was losing a lot of money, I only thought about how I could get it back, of course in the casino I don't even know what I thought I would recover it in terms of my job, and work 2 or 3 more shifts, that's what I thought afterwards and I forgot to play dice, of course I'm talking about 2017, which was when I discovered everything about Bitcoin, games, and what has to do with this, in this case we must always see that when it comes to doing better things we have to see how we can do so that our money increases in the game, and the best way is for us to have money totally to lose, not to start investing in having a lot of money that we need for our basic expenses, because it falls into the same vein as: How to recover the money without playing in the casino? Obviously, with more work load, then when thinking about those aspects one must control oneself, that for me was enough to control myself, but that worked for me because at that time I already had a baby, now I have two, one of 8 and another girl of 2, then at least she can lose control.

When I thought that I had to give him everything, milk, diapers and all those obligations, I knew that I couldn't spend the money I had for those expenses, and that was something that made me react, so for me it works like this, having a family, What I can do is recommend to people that they react when they feel that they may fall into addiction, so in view of this things can happen very fortuitously in the casino, many other strategies can be done to control themselves, but that depends of each person, and each person has to do what suits them best in order to control themselves, even if they are extreme measures.

Not only do we lose a lot of time with our family or loved ones, but we also have the opportunity to lose the money we have, and even if it gets serious, we can lose the things we have along with losing the people we love. They will not be able to see us as before, who really loved them, but they will see us as gamblers who are more concerned with gambling than them. If we don't realize it, we will really lose everything we have, and even though we can win, it will be meaningless if we lose everything we have, including the people we love. We won't be able to repair that relationship because everything has fallen apart because of what we did, which was our biggest mistake. When we are down and have lost everything, we can regret our actions, but it may be too late because they are long gone.

~snip~

Getting your point, as the time you spend with your gambling will be the time that you lost since you are very focus with gambling and forget about those people around you, it's hard to repair a relationship if you are already engage too much with gambling, there's nothing inside your mind aside from how will you please your desire for gambling.

I think the only possible way is to completely quit with your will and make sure not to think about it anymore, after that, when everything already fresh, you can try to work out with your relationship and spend all your time to accomplish your will to repair everything.

That's what we will experience if we play gambling for too long because we will be too busy to forget our relationships with people close to us and also not be able to see what has changed about ourselves. Playing gambling should be a fun activity and not cause problems, but because we use it too seriously and for too long, it makes us experience relationship problems with the people closest to us. This must end immediately because if not, we will really lose people close to us and the relationship will be damaged because we gamble too much.

Only by stopping gambling can we avoid thinking about gambling so that we can try to repair our disturbed relationships. Maybe it also takes time to repair the relationship but we have to try especially if we can show those close to us that we have really stopped gambling. They will believe it especially when they can see that we have really stopped gambling and there is the intention and desire to make that change.

Thereby overworking themselves to the point their thoughts wasn't conducive for gambling.

Gambling can make us stressed because we will experience loss and perhaps even experience loss more often. But if we can avoid experiencing a lot of losses by implementing restrictions on our gambling, we can avoid that stress and can even enjoy gambling. Gamblers who behave badly don't know how to treat gambling because all they have in mind is how they can win from it. They are the ones who will experience serious problems in gambling, and they will have difficulty finding solutions because they have gone too far in gambling without being able to get out of gambling easily. But if they were able to treat gambling well from the start by not using a lot of money and also being able to control themselves and set limits and follow them, they would not have difficulty using gambling to get pleasure from it.

A Shanghai man was sentenced to prison for kidnapping his own granddaughter so he could maintain his gambling addiction with the ransom money.

The kidnapping — orchestrated by a 65-year-old man identified only by his surname, Yuan — was first reported by the Shanghai Law and Rule Journal. The legal news outlet didn't specify when the incident occurred but wrote on April 18 that Yuan had just started serving his prison sentence.

Yuan kicked off his plan by picking up his four-year-old granddaughter from her kindergarten and taking her out to eat and shop without her mother's knowledge, the Journal reported.

many gambling addicts have lost their minds because their desire to continue gambling overpowers their common sense, hence the importance of "gambling responsibly"

There are three licensing objectives which support the whole basis of gambling regulation:

- that crime should be kept out of gambling
- it should be conducted in a fair and open way
- children and other vulnerable persons should be protected from harm or exploitation from gambling.

It's actually terrible when things like this happen. I'll explain what I mean. That is, when a person ceases to control himself and loses control, it is terrible, because he ruins his life and exposes it to enormous risk. But a person has the right to do with his life what he sees fit within the framework of the law. But when a person, due to loss of control, destroys someone else’s life, then this is much worse, since his gaming addiction ruins the life not only of himself but also of those around him. I would advise such people to turn to God. I know examples when God gives them freedom and their lives change

Of course someone who is addicted definitely doesn't have time to have fun with other people or their family because they are already busy themselves with their gambling even though gambling only makes them more bankrupt, in contrast to people who can control themselves and can allocate their time and gambling. This can be called Responsible gamblers, especially if they already have a family, will of course have more time to work and for the family, gambling is only a small part of their free time.

Addicted people don't understand how to stop their addiction so if they experience more and more losses it will increase their pressure to continue gambling to chase their losses, so it's not surprising that some of their families hate the gambler's behavior, it's not surprising that their family abandons them because addiction itself is very annoying. Especially if they has no intention of stopping and has a temperamental nature that is certain of course his family will leave him alone.

Someone who is still a newbie will not get addicted to gambling quickly unless he returns to gambling without restrictions and every day, he only plays gambling. It will make him addicted to gambling without him realizing it so that when he sees what has happened to him, he will be surprised that he is already addicted to gambling. If the newbie experiences defeat, he will not think about ending his gambling game but will try to gamble again by depositing more money. This was because he felt it was a good day, which almost made him win big. And if he doesn't realize that it was a mistake to deposit more money to gamble, he will only increase the amount of his losses. He should be able to think about how to increase his amount of money without having to gamble. Yes, he can look for a job that can make money to earn money from other activities. And when we can make money from work, that is, we can really make money, we should immediately think about starting to reduce the gambling activities we do because we only lose money in gambling and not make money like we get from our jobs.

By making money from your work, you can buy diapers for your children, meet your daily needs, and save for your family's future, including your children. That will be more exciting than using the money to gamble in the hope that you can make money from gambling. Indeed, you can make money from gambling, but that doesn't guarantee you can make it every time you gamble. So it's time for those who are married to remember that meeting family needs is the most important thing in our gambling activities, whatever the reason, including trying to make money from gambling because we won't be able to get it easily. We can gamble but only to get pleasure, and after that, we have to quit gambling. And we can get that pleasure through our family, who always accompanies us.

Addicted people don't understand how to stop their addiction so if they experience more and more losses it will increase their pressure to continue gambling to chase their losses, so it's not surprising that some of their families hate the gambler's behavior, it's not surprising that their family abandons them because addiction itself is very annoying. Especially if they has no intention of stopping and has a temperamental nature that is certain of course his family will leave him alone.

It's true, people who are very addicted to gambling even can forget about their homes. In my country there are no official offline casinos, there is only gambling done by people when they gather in one place or just gambling on cockfights. From this habit, they are even spend too long time outside with their gambling friends. No time for his family, let say from 7 - 4, they are working, when working day is over, they are just going to take a bath and back to their gambling friends. There was even one case where a husband and wife quarreled in front of my house, this happen after divorcing because his wife didn't want to accept him anymore. Hopefully all of us on this forum don't experience something similar. We should be able to learn to control ourselves even though we are addicted to gambling, but we still have to remember all our families.

[tbterryboy]

They will not only lose their money, but they will also lose their precious time. Lost money can be found again, but if time is lost, where do you want to look for it. And maybe you will not only lose your personal time, but you will also lose time with your partner and family. Because you have prioritized the gambling you do, compared to other activities.
So quite a few people whose romances are destroyed because of their bad behavior in gambling, their families become disharmonious because they often abandon them. And there are quite a few whose households have been destroyed, simply because they prioritize their gambling activities over family matters. Maybe we can look for a partner again, but unfortunately when our children often feel neglected and don't get attention from their parents, this will be the reason why a child chooses to hate and not respect their parents. And when a child hates his parents, then who will you use as a place to go home to?

That means they are missing two important things in their life. And it is true that they can still earn money, but they will not be able to make up for the time they have lost, while that is time they should spend with the people closest to them. They will find it difficult to build a relationship like before because everything has changed, and often, they will not be able to get it even if they try. Even though they try, if they still gamble frequently, the results will not be optimal, and their relationships with those closest to them will no longer be good. When someone who often gambles also experiences losses, even a lot of losses, their relationships with those closest to them may also fade, and they will not be able to get what they got before. The relationship can also be destroyed, like what they feel in gambling, so it is very difficult to repair the relationship.

Why not? As long as they are breathing, they can always make up to the time that they lost. They can skip gambling next time and spend those time instead to the people closest to them. If those people truly value us, they will always give us another chance.

But, if let say they don't want to, I think it is still possible to build a relationship again with other people. And maybe next time we should choose those people that has the same interest as us, so that they can understand us easily and we can also bond together at most times. Many of us gamblers are lucky that we still have a stable relationship to the people around us. We should learn from this topic and try to be more careful when gambling.

Addicted people don't understand how to stop their addiction so if they experience more and more losses it will increase their pressure to continue gambling to chase their losses, so it's not surprising that some of their families hate the gambler's behavior, it's not surprising that their family abandons them because addiction itself is very annoying. Especially if they has no intention of stopping and has a temperamental nature that is certain of course his family will leave him alone.

It's true, people who are very addicted to gambling even can forget about their homes. In my country there are no official offline casinos, there is only gambling done by people when they gather in one place or just gambling on cockfights. From this habit, they are even spend too long time outside with their gambling friends. No time for his family, let say from 7 - 4, they are working, when working day is over, they are just going to take a bath and back to their gambling friends. There was even one case where a husband and wife quarreled in front of my house, this happen after divorcing because his wife didn't want to accept him anymore. Hopefully all of us on this forum don't experience something similar. We should be able to learn to control ourselves even though we are addicted to gambling, but we still have to remember all our families.

in the end addiction to gamble is possibly an infinite research for the flow state but in a destructive way
it depends on the games you play too
I think it could have to do with thinking you don't deserve your money, having too much disposable income and too little ideas, having no purpose or support network
many thoughts

what do you think?

They will not only lose their money, but they will also lose their precious time. Lost money can be found again, but if time is lost, where do you want to look for it. And maybe you will not only lose your personal time, but you will also lose time with your partner and family. Because you have prioritized the gambling you do, compared to other activities.
So quite a few people whose romances are destroyed because of their bad behavior in gambling, their families become disharmonious because they often abandon them. And there are quite a few whose households have been destroyed, simply because they prioritize their gambling activities over family matters. Maybe we can look for a partner again, but unfortunately when our children often feel neglected and don't get attention from their parents, this will be the reason why a child chooses to hate and not respect their parents. And when a child hates his parents, then who will you use as a place to go home to?

That means they are missing two important things in their life. And it is true that they can still earn money, but they will not be able to make up for the time they have lost, while that is time they should spend with the people closest to them. They will find it difficult to build a relationship like before because everything has changed, and often, they will not be able to get it even if they try. Even though they try, if they still gamble frequently, the results will not be optimal, and their relationships with those closest to them will no longer be good. When someone who often gambles also experiences losses, even a lot of losses, their relationships with those closest to them may also fade, and they will not be able to get what they got before. The relationship can also be destroyed, like what they feel in gambling, so it is very difficult to repair the relationship.

Why not? As long as they are breathing, they can always make up to the time that they lost. They can skip gambling next time and spend those time instead to the people closest to them. If those people truly value us, they will always give us another chance.

But, if let say they don't want to, I think it is still possible to build a relationship again with other people. And maybe next time we should choose those people that has the same interest as us, so that they can understand us easily and we can also bond together at most times. Many of us gamblers are lucky that we still have a stable relationship to the people around us. We should learn from this topic and try to be more careful when gambling.

As long as we don't have problems with gambling, then our family and people around us won't have problems either. Some end up losing the support of those closest to them when they have a gambling problem. that is why we have to be careful with the gambling we do. because the impact is not only for us, there are people around us who can get the impact too.

The addiction that takes up a lot of our time and money is not just gambling. even those who are addicted to online games can also lose the same.
I'm also a gambler, but I try not to cross the limits that I committed to from the start. I avoid losing support from people around me who know about my gambling activities. I know the consequences could be fatal, but hopefully, I can stay committed.

It is true that the big disadvantage of gambling is losing a lot of time with our family or loved ones. Gambling enthusiasts only think about how to get money from winning gambling matches and return the money they have spent in losing. In fact, it is not uncommon for us to meet gambling enthusiasts who are willing to leave their families just for what they say is to have fun and earn money.
However, when they start to realize that they are very depressed, no one cares about them anymore because their relationship has just been thrown away. they think no one cares about their situation, even though they themselves have thrown it all away.

Loosing family time due to gambling is mostly common amongst addicts as normal and responsible gamblers know how to schedule their time such that they will have enough time to spend with family and still have time to gamble regardless of how much time they spend at the casino a.d that's why they are seen as responsible because they have that discipline that helps them regulate their habit.

Because of the ability to not been able to regulate how much they gamble, the irresponsible and addicted gamblers could then get into depression especially after they must have suffered a huge loss, it's also common for most family members to want to despise addicted gamblers because they may feel his attitude may turn out a problem for them.amd they wouldn't want to be associated with such hence they despise them and even when they become depressed they don't have someone to get to because maybe family is gone.

Of course someone who is addicted definitely doesn't have time to have fun with other people or their family because they are already busy themselves with their gambling even though gambling only makes them more bankrupt, in contrast to people who can control themselves and can allocate their time and gambling. This can be called Responsible gamblers, especially if they already have a family, will of course have more time to work and for the family, gambling is only a small part of their free time.

Addicted people don't understand how to stop their addiction so if they experience more and more losses it will increase their pressure to continue gambling to chase their losses, so it's not surprising that some of their families hate the gambler's behavior, it's not surprising that their family abandons them because addiction itself is very annoying. Especially if they has no intention of stopping and has a temperamental nature that is certain of course his family will leave him alone.

Considering your comment, it fits with my view of gambling's complexity. Indeed, addiction consumes time, resources, and relationships. Decreased returns lead to deeper sadness in loss recovery. Your spiral representation is vibrant and moving.

However, I favor nuance. Gambling doesnt always mean bad. Responsible enjoyment coexists with addiction in this diversified setting. Think of a bunch of friends laughing over a card game, when companionship trumps money. Gambling may be social and pleasurable, adding to life rather than taking away from it.

Lets not blame all gambling for addiction. Acknowledging the problem and the prospect of a healthy gambling relationship are key. Awareness, education, and support are crucial. Creating an environment where fun and responsibility are intertwined in leisurely gambling is key.

Relationship or not, there should be a thick line here, I think it shouldn't mix with gambling. Not your friend, lover or family should be affected in any way simply because you gamble, gamblers should moderate things and not do anything excessively. For this to happen, the person must be a responsible gambler in all senses and I see no reason why gambling which is just a regular way of life to some people who don't abuse it will suddenly become a relationship destroyer. It must have been that the gambler is doing a lot wrongly which will backfire on their heads, and generally, it is irresponsible gambling that could only be responsible for that. This has to be changed before such can be curbed or guarded against from the beginning. This goes for the lucky and the unlucky ones, and once they moderate their gambling activities, the money and time spent doing it, there can't be excessiveness that could call for caution, including that of addiction.

Not far to happened if you only care about gambling and no longer capable to provide the needs of your family, not only for financial but more on the presence of being a husband,  gambling addiction can create situation like this, where the wife will no longer accept after being there for his husband but nothing is changing,  if the person is already drunkly addicted his mindset is all for his gambling plans and nothing else.
