It is difficult to detect addiction consciously as long as they have not really lost everything, their family or their wealth, usually when gamblers really feel lonely and have lost all their wealth then they realize that they have come a long way, when you become a gambler you should make it a habit to continue to maintain communication with your family and friends. friends to always avoid gambling addiction.
IMO, it all comes back to each individual and how they understand their gambling activities. in fact, there are many gamblers who are very aware that they have fallen into the category of gambling addicts. usually they will analyze how far they play, how intensely they gamble. and how much money they have spent, and not necessarily specific or based on the loss of many of their possessions or property they previously owned. it's enough just to be aware of the extent to which we are involved in gambling itself. if we always take time to think or play even when we are busy at work, it is very likely that we are classified as gambling addicts. anyway, there's nothing wrong with the first point you said. in fact, we agree with it.
To be honest, gambling addiction is very difficult to cure, that's why all friends here are always warned that never become addicted to gambling, it's best to limit your budget and time for gambling so you don't gamble beyond the limit which ultimately leads to losing everything and ending up sad, we rarely realizing that we ourselves are addicted, so it's best to always maintain relationships with our family because they are the ones who will help us get out of this addiction in the end.
May be yes, maybe no. but in most cases, what you say represents the facts that mostly happen to gambling addicts. moreover, if someone does not have a broad understanding and does not want to be introspective about their gambling. that's why, many gambling addict victims have difficulty curing their addiction. many have also used various methods, including entering rehabilitation. however, not a few also return to gamble. for me, it all depends on how we utilize gambling itself. in other words, a person can ask themselves what they are really looking for from gambling. the answer, will be very diverse and varied. the point is, we as gamblers must know the essence of gambling itself for us. if you want to get money, or wealth, then the answer is to work or do business. but if we just do it with the idea of having fun, regardless of winning or losing. we won't bother looking for a loan just to fulfill a high desire. avoiding addiction is quite difficult, complicated but not completely so. ideally, we should have boundaries to act as reminders when we get carried away by mood or emotions. and if you can, never get into the habit of looking for loans just to gamble.
