Well, if these addicts has recovered then of course their own families will gave them a 2nd chance, but the mind of their family and the people who surround them was already programmed to take some preventive measures before they regret it again because they cannot honestly forget the mistakes in the past. Better be safe than sorry.
thats why whenever you do get involved yourself into gambling then be sure that you would really able to control your pulses and dont make yourself get hook to addiction
because if you do then you would really be having a big problem in the future which it wouldnt not only involved money but also in other aspects as well like family and relations
would be also affected.
I certainly agree, there are many factors that a certain person will commit a robbery and one of those factors can be narrowed down to gambling addiction. Being addicted to gambling is not an easy problem because you would really have a hard time weighing some things and it will disable your senses to tell which one is right or wrong anymore because all you wanted is to gamble. For me, I know it's easy to tell these things because we are not in their shoes but it's just a matter of right perspective in the first place and having a boundary will always suffice.
