Who does gambling addiction affect the most?

[AmoreJaz]

The first person who will feel the adverse effects of gambling is the gambler himself, and if you ask about who the next person is who has the potential to be affected is clearly the closest people to the addicted gambler such as their family and also other close people such as friends where the problem scenario can be different - different but usually always about financial problems where usually gambling addicts like to make their closest people a target to borrow money when they run out of money to gamble, which is simply that they borrow money but without knowing how to repay it and usually this is the problem between them and their close friends where gambling addicts borrow money but cannot pay it because even though they have money, their main thoughts will still lead to gambling which in the end they use the money for gambling instead of paying debts.

And another problem is with their own family where usually someone who is addicted usually experiences changes in their behavior and personality, becomes more aggressive and easily emotional especially after experiencing defeat which even the worst thing is that they can commit violence against their family members.

The results of the poll is almost 50-50 now. But I believe there's no need to ask this as it is of course very obvious that the gambler and his immediate family are the ones who are directly affected by his gambling habits. Or if the gambler is not living with his immediate family, the people affected are the ones who are living with him because they can see or feel directly what he is going thru. The emotional roller-coaster ride alone will have an impact on the people living with him.

Being addicted to gambling can affect a lot of things; of course, the main victim is the addict itself. Gambling can ruin one's life if he really dives into the rabbit hole of it, financially, mentally, or maybe physically, if he hurts himself whenever he loses. The worst of the three is maybe financially. I guess since everything we do needs money, and to be honest, when you have no money, it is like you have no energy, and it is hard to move. The second that can be affected is the family. Since the victim is unstable, in the worst case, he can hurt his family and be physically and mentally absent from them, making him invincible.

That is just one of the things an addicted gambler can encounter if he really continues to bury himself in the rabbit hole of gambling.

In most cases, the gambler knows what he's getting into. But usually, they can't stop themselves from getting into the rabbit hole especially if they are not seeing good reason to change their lifestyle or motivation to alter their path. They need solid and convincing reason to finally change their life's journey. Til then, they will continue to bury themselves to this hole.

I agree with your opinion on this though but I believe that  as a gambler who is reasonable enough to know that his or her family would be affected by their gambling lifestyle, they should go very far from their environment when gambling. You know doing such around your living environment is very undermining. It can make people disrespect and call you out at anytime and using you as a reference or example for a bad gambling lifestyle which is very detrimental to the health of your family.
I have nothing against gamblers but to some point, it is nice as a gambler you should think with your thinking faculty properly. I am not in support of gambling within your living environment. If you want to do that as a family man, you can go far away from your living environment or you do that online so that the people within your environment would not be able to detect you. By so doing, you are saving your family of some stress from your gambling lifestyle.

There are no effects of gambling for people who are living with the gambler but aren't directly associated or dependent on him which means that if they share a house or live together but don't take care of expenses mutually or have anything shared that involves finances. So, even if the gambler loses everything, they won't get affected by it because then it will be the responsibility of the gambler to take care of himself.

However, you are right that the direct family will get affected by gambling because the gambler is person who needs to take care of the family and to provide everything they need. So, if the gambler is losing everything on gambling, that will cause problems for the family as well.

I have this opposite opinion based on the given question. I think it’s not the gambler itself that is affected the most but most likely his own family that he is living with. Let’s just say that some addicted gamblers find it hard to admit to theirselves that they are already addicts. They will say they are still gambling at their own risk. As a result, they are blind with the effects that those addiction creates, and their immediate family will be the one to suffer the worst effects.

However, once they start admitting that they really are addicted already, that’s the only time they will feel the effects being an addict. This is why it’s better if they could admit early so that their addiction will be immediately addressed and will be given therapy for their own healing.

Yes that's right, that if for example the gambler is no longer with his family or means living in a different place for example with his wife or someone else then yes they will feel the impact of the person's gambling addiction, the point is that the closest people will feel the impact no matter how small, and if left unchecked then maybe this situation can get worse or that means something worse can happen.

Well, in a family system, the whole family is affected, directly or indirectly, if the player has friends too, because when you see a person in a bad way, I try to find a way to make them feel good, whether by talking or helping them in some way, but it is difficult to help a person with addiction, I don't know how addicts are classified, if they have stages, I imagine so, but I think that in that case it should give all of us a feeling of helping those people that they need it.

I know that the most correct thing is that they have help from a psychologist or psychiatrist, but basically things have to go through the fastest way of help, which is that. Things get complicated if there is no money for those consultations because you have We have to look for another way of help, maybe not with so much money, but there are always people who are affected, especially if the addicted gambler is a good person.

The impact of gambling addiction tends to be unusual behavioral changes in the family, they can take out emotions on family members even though they have not done anything wrong, this factor is the most worrying because I see several gambling addicts experiencing this problem and it will be difficult for them to recover psychologically, they have to stop acts of violence against the family. However, other behavior will result in wasteful financial management and they will get into a lot of debt without their family's knowledge, so many actions will be detrimental to their family and they have to stay away from their family temporarily so that they are not burdened which is detrimental to their family.

Conditions will become increasingly worrying if someone finds it difficult to avoid gambling addiction, so prepare anticipatory steps to deal with gambling problems and manage finances as best as possible to limit actions that are financially detrimental from the effects of gambling.

No, i don't thing the gambler suffer the most.  They bring it on themselves.  But the family - theyre the real victims.  Financial hardship, emotional distressm, families torn apart - that's what the loved ones endure.  And sometimes, like in my cousins' case, the kids pick up those harmful gambling habits too.  

There's no doubt about it - gambling addiction ruins way more lives than just the gamblers.  I saw it firsthand.

If someone is deeply addicted to gambling then he does not think much about his family because at that time his mind is only interested in gambling. Due to this, they behave very badly with the family. so people who are addicted to gambling have a lot of fun with gambling but their family suffers a lot. And if there are children in that family then those children will follow the gambling addict's activities and learn many things from him which will be very bad for the future of that child. so a gambling addict becomes very dangerous for a family

[betswift]

I think deeply impacts both the gambler and their immediate family, but in different ways. For the gambler, it brings personal turmoil like financial ruin, mental health issues, and strained relationships. The family, however, faces the ripple effects financial instability, emotional stress, and potential social isolation. Children can be particularly vulnerable, carrying the emotional scars into adulthood. It's challenging to say who suffers more because both the gambler and their family endure significant hardships. Essentially, gambling addiction should be seen as a family issue, not just an individual one, requiring support and intervention for everyone affected.

I agree with you. And I think this is a very correct answer. I personally think the most affected by gambling addiction is his immediate family. My reason is because my close family is not addicted to gambling but they have to accept the effects of a gambler in their family. This is very unfair. Just like passive smokers who have to suffer from diseases and negative effects of cigarettes due to active smoking. Close families will feel the negative social and economic impacts. And I think no one wants their family to be addicted to gambling.

It’s clear we’re touching on deeply complex and nuanced aspects of gambling addiction, with insightful perspectives from both sides.
While the gambler battles the direct consequences of their actions—financial ruin, mental health struggles, and the daunting task of rebuilding trust and relationships—the family endures a parallel trauma, marked by financial instability, emotional turmoil, and the often-overlooked challenge of maintaining a supportive environment amidst personal hurt and societal judgment.

Addiction has two effects that occur during and after the healing process. The addict's family feels more pain during the healing process, and the addicted gambler suffers most after getting healed of his problem gambling. The moment he clearly thinks about his misfortunes how he affected his family and the struggle he made them go through, he'll get depressed or suffer pain. While his family will also undergo similar stress it'll be level down. The only moment they wanted to get over has ended, which is during the addiction problem. It feels bitter talking to a person about his ill behavior, and he doesn't care or listen to anybody or tend to correct his mistakes. Such things affect the emotions of people around the addict. Hence, once the gambler is free his family is quite cool and can move on with their business. But the addict will leave the grief forever, almost. He'd hardly forget this, because it happened to him. It leaves a scar in his memory. That's a mental illness and could stay within his emotions for a longer period. In this context, I'd say the addict suffers the most pain.

The notion that the gambler suffers intensely upon reflection and realization of the pain caused is poignant. This period of reckoning, where the full extent of the damage done is acknowledged, can indeed be a profound source of suffering for the gambler, potentially leading to severe depression or other mental health issues. However, it’s also crucial to recognize that the family’s journey through the gambler’s addiction and recovery can leave lasting scars emotional, financial, and sometimes even social, that may not fully heal, even as the gambler moves towards recovery.
Recovery, therefore, should not be seen as solely the gambler’s responsibility or journey but as a collective endeavor, with resources and support systems in place to aid both the gambler and their loved ones in navigating the complex emotional that addiction leaves in its wake.

Indeed, when someone is addicted to gambling, it is very difficult to be cured, because people who are addicted to gambling will of course not think about stopping, because the urge to gamble will become stronger. Also, those who are addicted to gambling will not find it easy to realize that what they are doing is wrong and detrimental to themselves. with the bad effects of gambling addiction, they will experience financial difficulties and their wrong thinking can make things difficult for themselves. and it's clear in my opinion that the person most affected by gambling addiction is the main perpetrator first.

and to be able to recover from their addiction, I think they have to realize themselves that the actions they took on gambling were too excessive, because even if their family and friends help them to stop their addiction, it will not guarantee that they will be able to stop their addiction.  if the main perpetrator does not have awareness. Gambling addiction is not a good thing because it can destroy a person's life

Okay, so you're addicted to gambling. Very rough stuff. Hear me out: everyone knows that "awareness" is just a joke for junkies. You need to look further. Firstly, why did you start digging the hole? Are you quitting? That's like skipping rocks while carrying an anvil on your back. The problem is that backing responsible gambling? It looks like a thin line over a pit with no bottom. Seriously, the rush is real. Control is more important than absence, though. Boundaries, alarms, and understanding that each bet is a choice. Pick yourself, and have faith that things will get better. That's the authentic battle. There's no money involved. We're talking about your life. That is the real risk

It is indeed difficult for addicts to be aware of their addiction and indeed all the problems or impacts of their addiction are due to their own actions digging the hole. If they don't start it wrong maybe there won't be a serious problem. It is indeed very difficult to implement responsible gambling measures, because most gamblers are not responsible for their actions, perhaps that is because they have been lulled by gambling. They completely believe in gambling which has given them a win at the start, and with that they think they can get a win back when gambling but the reality turns around, they actually lose control in pursuing another win in gambling.

Gambling completely involves money, why do they experience a lot of problems or experience many bad effects because they gamble too much. Someone who gambles excessively is certainly very vulnerable to experiencing problems in their life, including financial problems. The actions they take are often not considered beforehand, they take actions that take big risks but they are not prepared for what will happen even though it is the result of their own actions.

Experiencing behavioral changes into someone who is more aggressive and sensitive along with experiencing problems with their finances and other problems related to money such as debt as you said above and these are two very concerning things where the impact of behavioral changes will be felt by those closest to them and other problems such as debt will create various strong pressures that will be felt by the addicted gambler himself which in some cases there are some gamblers who even do something that makes no sense, as discussed on another page where there was a gambler who was desperate to end his life and I believe that decision happened because they could not withstand all the pressure from the many problems that befell them as a result of treating gambling in the wrong way.

I think it's a fact that most gamblers who are already addicted will only be able to stop when they experience something that really traumatizes them, the events can vary, whether it's in prison for stealing or robbing money to finance their gambling activities or other things but what is worse is ending their own life. Obviously this is the reason why we should not treat gambling carelessly, because the impact is very bad.

An addict doesn't necessarily have fun, gambling. He's undergoing some pain but can't help himself. Everyone who is addicted needs external help to be free from addiction. Although they act like the game is interesting to them, their actions aren't under their control. The pains stay with the gambler for a longer time, but his family also will be undergoing some emotional challenges. Safeguarding the kids in such cases is quite crucial, for their future. Taking them to a close relative's house, where they wouldn't see their addicted parent. Children learn quickly from their parents, so, if a toddler stays with an addicted father, he'll have to suffer like his dad. The child could get into gambling earlier, before reaching the legalized age for gambling. Addiction is very disastrous to society; every affected family shouldn't take it lightly. And there is an epidemic of addiction circulating across the world. The increasing number of addicts is alarming. It could be enforced by the ever-increasing world problem, and the distress in most countries. Citizens lose their focus and discipline every day, thereby involuntarily getting addicted.

If you are a father who is addicted to gambling, the ones who are affected are his wife and children because they are all the dependents of a father, so this will be worse in its effects.

Yes, wife and children are affected. But not only them but also the husband will be affected. It is because the husband that was affected that made this family got affected. But the husband gamble irresponsibly and makes him to become useless husband. It is good for people to know that gambling is not for making money to have some fun. But I use to wonder how some people will gamble and lose and gamble again. After several losses and gambling not profitable, they should have known to quit, but they will continue to gamble until their family started to know when the gamblers are going bankrupt.

Most of the times some of the gamblers that have those problems resulting from they gambling addiction are all at that point because of they inability to apply the right application mindset that will put them at an advantage over the casino, this is very important because gambling is not favorable to those that take it as means of making money or those that spend so much in the casino even while they are losing, most of the time, some of the gambling addicts are not even playing for the sake of money anymore because even when they lose, they will borrow to gamble more just to satisfy themselves

This is what gamblers should really avoid. Playing without thinking about using even a small amount of money is wrong, especially if you borrow money to gamble. It's really an action that could harm you, even your family if you find out how much debt you owe just to buy the satisfaction of gambling.

Be wise in gambling, and don't depend too much on winning. because the real winner is the casino, not the player.

[Woodie]

Excessive gambling is detrimental to the life of a gambler no doubt, stories, facts and truths have proven this that they suffer a lot of pressure, tension, loses and frustration. I am also concerned about the impact of gambling on the lives of those dependent on the gambler like his immediate family(wife, children, parents and siblings).

Unfortunately gambling has  a spiral effect especially if your earnings dictate your financial situation, which means if you win the  dependants get to enjoy good things thanks to your efforts but should you lose..this could mean adjusting your lifestyle and in some worse case scenarios debt which can be passed on to the family...but not to say that this is what happens to everyone, for those that are responsible gamblers they gamble with funds they can afford to lose and this won't affect their dependents regardless of the results!!

I have heard stories of children whose early lives were messed up due to the bad habits of gambling addiction of their fathers. A very recent one is one account in this forum which created a topic staring his hatred for gambling and backing his claim with same ugly story of being a product of a home where the father is a gambling addict. He stressed that it ruined his father and affected him disastrously. I know how painful and frustrating it is when your foundation its poor, and the negative effect is massive.

You heard right, the worst thing that can happen to a person is gambling addiction and hope anybody that gambles can resist falling into this problem!

So I want to ask, between the gambling addict and his immediate family, who does the addiction affect the most?

Considering they are dependents means they aren't bringing or making any income which says they are affected the most!

Gamblers should always keep in mind. It doesn't matter how much the gambler wins, he must lose. Gamblers will surely suffer if they don't think only about winning and there is a sense of where to lose. Moreover, the gamblers who manage their gambling by borrowing can never make the right decision. The thought of paying off the debt can have a major impact on his gambling. If the gambler conducts gambling within his means, he can make relatively good decisions. But the best rule is that if the gambler simply accepts the losses rather than the wins, then the negative effects of gambling will not spread to him.

I've experienced it, when I lose from gambling, I don't stop, but I want to return the money I spent by borrowing money. the result is not a return, instead it increases the debt and makes me even more frustrated because every month the bill is always there.

I am very sorry and from that moment on I stopped playing brutally and stupidly. greed at that time was uncontrollable and it destroyed my life and finances. now it's more about using a small portion of my income to gamble, and that's just to overcome my addiction to gambling. and when I win, I always immediately withdraw whatever I get, even though it's relatively small.

It is true that what all gamblers must always remember is about defeat and how we can accept it sincerely because honestly losing money is very difficult to accept, even though at first the gambler feels brave and confident, the reality on the ground is much different and that's for sure. felt by all gamblers.

It is very risky if a gambler takes the action of borrowing money to be able to gamble, this is very stupid and unreasonable because you already know the risks are very terrible, but why do you still do it?
Yes, because the addiction factor is what drives gamblers to do it.
I really agree with you that if we want to gamble, use our respective abilities and try to accept and realize that there are many losses that occur there, not easy wins for us to get so that we can play well and safely.

[nara1892]

It is done by the gambler himself and that's the most affection does.

I think it's a fact that most gamblers who are already addicted will only be able to stop when they experience something that really traumatizes them, the events can vary, whether it's in prison for stealing or robbing money to finance their gambling activities or other things but what is worse is ending their own life. Obviously this is the reason why we should not treat gambling carelessly, because the impact is very bad.

When they can't get up to their lives and they see the whole difference of them before and after they become addicted to gambling. That will hit them the reality that they shouldn't done that because it's giving them the worst life that they can ever have. While before when they're not yet addicted, they're living peacefully with their families.

Yes, but I think not all gamblers who are already in or have entered the addiction phase can really realize that all these downturns come from the impact of the addiction they are experiencing, not everyone who is addicted can realize this and this is also the reason why gambling addiction is difficult. to be overcome, because unconsciousness is an obstacle for them to truly realize the triggers for the many problems that arise for them.

They feel that they have not done anything wrong in their lives and all this is the result of them liking gambling activities too much and also placing their hopes on winning, so instead of identifying what exactly is causing them problems, they continue to prioritize their gambling activities because they thinking that the loss of money they have experienced before will be replaced by a win that they will definitely win one day, what they don't realize is that gambling is full of uncertainty.

I am very sorry and from that moment on I stopped playing brutally and stupidly. greed at that time was uncontrollable and it destroyed my life and finances. now it's more about using a small portion of my income to gamble, and that's just to overcome my addiction to gambling. and when I win, I always immediately withdraw whatever I get, even though it's relatively small.

It's okay, friend, it's a normal thing, because I think all gamblers have felt that way, but what's good, in my opinion, is that with this incident we can learn a lesson, which means we shouldn't do the same thing again because of the urge from thoughts that want to continuing to gamble even though you have been on a losing streak. In my opinion, losing or winning gambling is the same as it can make us addicted. When you win, what will happen is a strong temptation to continue gambling by wanting an even bigger win. and defeat can make us curious, like what you experienced, that's one of them.

the point may be losing self-control, because when we win or lose, it can be dangerous if we lose self-control. by losing self-control it can make us lose more money and what you say is true, it can destroy our lives and our finances and what happens is only regret, but even regret cannot change everything for the better. We must be able to do our best, such as gambling, by learning from experiences that have occurred.
