Maybe the gambler plays secretly or playing alone on their own room? That is why they hear nothing other than their own selves but if their family member sees them, they should be concerned at the gambler and one of the ways to know that the gambler is already addicted in gambling is when they stole money from them.
If a gambling addict stole money, you may not know what the gambling addict used the money to do, it could have be so much worse before knowing, like stealing money another time. Gambling addict is very difficult to control and the best to solve things out for themselves as an addict is to let his family know about it. You can even be living with an addict for months and you will never know if you are father or mother to them, just because of the means of accessing gambling sites that is now very easily accessible which can be through mobile phone.

If the gambler play and does not steal or do anything that might affect their family I guess it's alright but of course, playing gambling is not an easy thing it might cause emotional and mental damage to the player once they lose their assets unless it is just okay to them to let their wage. Still having a small talk and bonding with your friends and family is the best copy mechanism if you get a problem mostly in money involves.

Yes! Being active socially with some friends or family will indeed help these gambling to do much better from just being an addict, sooner or later they will start to realize things. Maybe one of those little get together or picnics outside the city can be his/her wake-up call. For sure it would take some time to be back into normal and with added help from the family might do the trick.

Yes involving on other activities with closed ones like friends and family members, will support in getting out of gambling environment. It indeed takes time to completely come out of the situation but yes its the individual who needs to take initiative. He/She is can plan for vacations with friends and family members outside of his/ her home town where he or she can gain a new experience from such places. This would certainly help him get out of gambling addiction.

This is what I was saying about a gambler that can cause trouble for himself and to his family. It is both the bettor and the family's fault where they let their family get scammed by the bettor and also the family by sending $50 which restarted the urge to gamble again. If not because of that free bet then the gambling addict won't be doing it again. The family should confront the gambling addict if it still continue then they should tell them what will happen and should help him stop gambling.
Things like this clearly still have risks indeed and when things like this have happened then it is clear that the family must play an active role in making the addict not do things like this anymore because if it continues, the impact will be even greater because it was originally it's only from the family but it's not impossible to target other people as well to launch his passion in gambling isn't it.
This is the most extreme level of addiction if it starts like this, but it can be realized because it is a severe addiction that makes the addict become desperate.

Gambling addiction could be cured, but one must be willing to undergo treatment for it. The willingness and determination to break free from dreadful habit is a must.
It will get worse once you don't have your family with you, or you have but you don't have a good relationship with your family so you are afraid to open up. Most of the time, gambling addicts do not accept the reality, they still believe that they are okay and they are in control of themselves despite the fact that they are already showing symptoms of a gambling addict.

Addiction is a serious problem that requires adequate attention, it's similar to someone who has recently developed high blood pressure, if they detect it early and treat it properly, it will go away in a short period of time. However, the problem with addicted people is that they never know, they may notice some early signs that they are losing control, but their goal will be to recover the money they have lost, it will be difficult to the point where even family members may be unable to help. Most developed countries, I believe, have correctional facilities for various forms of abuse and addiction.

Indeed, having a gambling addiction is very hard. It is difficult to deal with, most especially without intervention of the professionals. Rehabilitation is a must for those people who are suffering gambling addiction. That way, they won't be able to inflict harm to themselves as well as to the people around them.

The moment to do things like these, they should be taken into proper place so that they could be cured without having to cause so much more trouble.

There are different types of addicts if it comes to this, most of the addicts can latter be stealing their parents money, but the time some will start can be long and some will not start to steal but use his own money and properties to gamble. Some gamblers can be discipline to the extent they do not want to hurt any member of their family and will not consider stealing their parent's money as a means to gamble, but any money given them can be used to gamble which is also an addiction, some addicts will not steal for long time and some will not even steal but affected by gambling addiction. It all depends on the situation and the gambler's personality. While gambling should only be considered good when someone is not addicted at all but seeing and doing it as fun.

In this kind of gambling addicts still need to have the family members confrontation because they are the only ones who can help these people we know at first glance is that gambling does not bring a good outcome all the time at the end of the day it all about the casino's profit, these mostly give rehabilitation to change their perspective than playing gambling.

Gamble responsibly and according to your own money,, i've seen cases were victims even sell they valuables just to gamble atimes you might be lucky to win and most times unfortunate to loose...there is no master in gambling it is just a case of luck,, and in most families I have seen they don't trust or give the gambler in the family the needed respect even if his or her is the first child,,, responsible gambling also prohibit gambling under the age of 18... And gambling companies should put in place adequate measures to tackle or to minimize under age gambling... because if they are not stopped now and they grow with it, it won't be good for the family name... adequate measures needs to be taken in our society so irresponsible gambling don't eat the younger generation to come
I am quite sure casinos do not like for underage people to gamble and for people to develop addictions as this is what causes a great deal of the negative publicity they receive, and while they can take some actions to prevent this we also need to hold people accountable for their actions, basically people are responsible for their own actions as no one forces us to gamble, so the one which losses their self-control and keeps betting money they cannot afford to lose is also responsible for the situation they got themselves in, something which is important to recognize because if they do not then even if they recover they will eventually become addicted again as according to them controlling their actions is something beyond them.
Even if they dont like but still its a situation cant really be avoided on some circumstances because not everything could really be monitored out but they are still doing their best on to get rid of young people who do get engaged with gambling activity on an early basis and also we do have some regulation that do really protect the youngster in related with gambling addiction thats why its not really that much of an issue.
This is rather be focusing much into those adults who do get addicted and ending up on making action which would compromise or do put up their family in big trouble or something in related to it.

Addiction is one hard thing to handle and the easiest way to become a gambling addict is to be a greedy gambler who wants to gamble excessively just to make some money and is willing to place a bet with whatever means available even to the extent of selling personal belongings just to gamble with the money. It is the individual sole responsibility to place some measures on their gambling activities this is not the responsibility of the casino.

people today will not want to change without a big disaster that befell them and their surroundings (family or friends). There have been many cases where gamblers sold family assets just to gamble and lost. This is really worrying because when this disaster happens, people will definitely stay away from that person
It's because they've got their mindset looking only into gambling and they don't think of the setback that choice they choose.

The emotion crumbles as they force what they want to happen even it will be a big risk that will not just include them but also their family.

It's actually worrying when a gambler goes up to that point and he hears none that gives feedback to his actions as he only listens to himself and with no one.
Maybe the gambler plays secretly or playing alone on their own room? That is why they hear nothing other than their own selves but if their family member sees them, they should be concerned at the gambler and one of the ways to know that the gambler is already addicted in gambling is when they stole money from them.

They should not wait any longer before worst things can happen to the gambler and to them because that gambler can steal other people's money or will kill his own family because they won't give them money. They need to talk to that person as soon as possible and if the person won't listen, then they can ask help from the authorities.

In my neighbourhood, I have seen a guy selling his parent's house and gambling away all the funds gathered and obviously lost them all. Even worst his parents were struggling with some health issues and when they came to know about it, their son had suicided already in guilt and pressure from his friends for the payment of the remaining amount. Somehow everyone in the society came forward and helped but I can't even share the kind of emotions everyone went through, even though most of us didn't even know what exactly happened.

Gambling addiction sucks. Period. But, gambling itself isn't the problem it's the excessive gambling and the mentality that sucks and makes gambling look like such a bad thing. It's the same with alcohol and tobacco, you consume once in a while and you're fine (most likely) but if you repeat and make it your addiction, you will be in trouble tomorrow if not today.
Stories similar to that happen very frequently among those which are addicted to gambling, however their compulsive behavior is to blame because if they did not got addicted to gambling then they would have gotten addicted to something else and go through similar results, people need to accept gambling for what it is, which is a form of entertainment and stop thinking about the possibility of making a living through gambling as that is something almost impossible to do.
The stories and the people becoming bankrupt after the gambling are very common. We don't gamble in our region- so we mostly not aware of all these horrible side effects. But people here are surly scummed by ( i am not sure what are they called in your culture - but these are group of people who hypnotise people ) and they run away with their gold and money. World is full of these troublesome lot.

So,its better to stop yourself midway if you are aware that you are on the verge of addiction or something that connects out on possible bad scenarios or outcomes when you do make yourself get addicted
and able to commit out those kind of mistakes or crimes just because you are really that aiming to play even more.

It isn't easy for a player to stop themselves when they are on the verge of addiction unless they have a strong will and some self-discipline.  I think it is better to get have a medical check-up on gambling addiction, this way doctors can prescribe medication that will help them control the urge for gambling.


Cant really be helped if someone does have that addiction doesnt really tend to accept and realize on what are those mistakes that he had done.Medical attention or medication wont really be effective because he would

be still keeps coming back on playing gambling with having those kind of intent which is something that cant easily get rid of with.Being addicted to gambling would really comes severe or becomes worst

and this might involved actions which couldnt we believe that it could really happen even if it do involves its family members.

Of course his family won't easily trust that person again, trauma with the past is something that is difficult to erase for those who are hurt

I've seen a lot of people (around my neighborhood) who recovered from their addiction (go home to rehab) not being trusted 100% like they used to again by their families
But if the addicted person can recover and really change, I think they can get a second chance to be a real change person.
Those of us who live with that person must also realize that they will not always be like that and must give them a second chance because they will truly change if they can overcome their addiction.
But it may not be easy to give them trust and a second chance because we have been hurt because of what they have done.
The feeling of trauma and hurt must be released by having a sense of sincerity and grace so that we don't feel hurt again.
Everybody deserves a second chance but they must prove it that they have totally changed. If not and they will still do it again for the third time then I think that must be the time for us to not forgive them anymore. That is enough to say that they will keep repeating their mistakes again and again.

There are several cases like this on the past where an addicted person goes back and forth inside the rehab but I don't know if what are the update to those guys now if they are still the same or if there's a miracle that happen and these guys have finally changed for the better. This is why some countries can ban gambling directly, to help combat the issue.

Common effects of people who are already out of control for being a gambler, the kind of bad effects

when addiction surrounds your whole mindsets, stealing, robberies, lending and scamming are part of what people can do.
Gambling addicted person is so desperate to find ways to produce money to continue these vices, they are no longer afraid of any consequence, they just wanted to please the lust inside their minds.
Such person is really need a professional to take care of him, I'd say beggars are more better than gambling addicts because beggars didn't make anyone got harm from his action, they only need money to buy foods, if not they will eat from leftover foods. If gambling addict can't change his mind and become more realistic to manage his money and his action, he could be lunatic/insane person.

One of the headlines in our country today is about a person who have fallen into gambling addiction which ended up to killing his own parents after they refused to give him money to gamble. He hit them using a huge piece of rock which is really terrible. Lots of crimes related to gambling addiction are happening day by day. If a person is having a hard time dealing with gambling addiction, then he should seek professional help before it's too late.
Quitting right away wouldn't make you really stop because temptations are everywhere. Even a single email could make you decide to gamble again. Seeking professional advice would be a good step for a person to recover from it. Gambling addiction isn't curable in just a single night. It takes time and a person also needs to help himself.
