Gambling if not checked cam lead to a devastating condition for a gambler's life. As a gambler when you allow yourself to be controlled by gambling instinct instead of having control over it, it repercussions doesn't particularly affects only you but goes beyond just you to those around you.
A woman was giving an account of how her gambling husband has been problematic to her with his gambling attitude. She gave an instance of how her husband had to steal her jewelry and sold it to get money to carry on his gambling enterprise. And unsuspecting of her husband the woman accused their come-and-go house-cleaner of making away with her jewelry when the cleaner must have come to the house for her cleaning services that very faithful day. She got the cleaner arrested, but then, investigations where carried out which it was uncovered that the woman's husband was the one who stole her jewelry for gambling and not the cleaner.
It is difficult to grasp or imagined the level of humiliation the innocent cleaner must have faced for an act she knows nothing about.
A question that bothers me concerning this issue is;
1. Do gambling addicts ever take a second thought on what the consequences of their actions can be not just to them but on those close to them?
2. Do they in reality genuinely feel any remorse about how those affected by their actions might be feeling?
3. Or, are they a dispassionate victim of their own uncontrollable addictive gambling lifestyle?

It absolutely varies by person, but at the point somebody is classed as an "addict" it means they are engaged in an activity to an unhealthy amount. While they may suffer internally by knowing that their actions are having a negative effect on others, that is generally lower in their scale of priorities where gambling might hold the number one spot. Sure, they have not morphed into some alien species that is incapable of analyzing the consequences of their actions, but one of the critical points is that they have lost control over choice in gambling. They have let the entertainment consume them, which can even happen with things like video games and they seek to engage with their chosen activity over anything else in life.
