violence : most gambling addicts are prone to violent behaviors owing to anger issues from much losses and this might greatly affect his relationship with his immediate family and people around him who might start seeing him as a wild animal.

That negative impression from children that sees a gambler as an example and they want to be like them when they grow up. First, it's about the money that they're showing to them and thinking that gamblers earn unlimited amount of money and that's why they want to be like them when they grow up. That's a very wrong description on how they want to be as they grow older and not a perfect example to start with. And what's bad on this is that it won't just be your children that will look up on you but also the other kid relatives that you have that you've been showing goodness on them just because you're happy to give them gifts. It might come from their mouths that they want to be like you as they old. But as a responsible gambler, you have to counter them with words and answer politely that they have to be better and look for something else as their future career.

I do not think anybody's family will tolerate gambling addiction because of the dangers it comes with, and they will not even in any way trust the person because gambling addicts are also become involved with drugs There Just very few gamblers that you will notice that are not into drugs, and that is why the family members will try as much as possible not to have anything to do with people like that, so self might start stealing, if they continue to gamble and they don't get what they are supposed to get in gambling they will start stealing peoples property.  and to some extent, I don't blame people who see people who are addicts as being irresponsible because the habits they show are those of a person who is responsible.

The problem with addiction is that it will first destroy your finances and then go for your mental health, and if you are finished financially then where will you start from am sure there are people who have lost everything just because of their addiction, and if people like that they serious need help and might even need a therapist for them to recover their sanity and will find it difficult to stop if not helped.

That is a tragic reality faced by many people struggling with addiction, as well as their families. The stigma and lack of understanding surrounding addiction often lead to isolation and rejection rather than the support and assistance that individuals desperately need. Indeed, being cast out by family members can exacerbate feelings of loneliness, hopelessness, and despair for those grappling with addiction. Without a supportive network to turn to, pople may feel as though they have no way out of their predicament, increasing the risk of harmful behaviors and, tragically, even suicide.

Perhaps family members the ones who recognize the signs of addiction and intervene with empathy, compassion, and professional assistance. Rather than shunning or ostracizing the individual, offering support, guidance, and access to appropriate treatment resources can make a significant difference in helping them overcome their addiction and rebuild their lives. By fostering an environment of understanding, acceptance, and solidarity, families can play a vital role in the recovery journey of their loved ones.

your contributions are very much welcome as we learn together the many demerits of gambling addiction to inform both those currently addicted and intending addicts of the dangers of that irrational lifestyle.

Whether an addict or not, it's totally wrong and not advisable to gamble in front of children or infants. Children tend to emulate their parents or immediate guardians pretty fast and whatever thing you choose to expose them to is what they'll tend to grow up with, this is why it's wrong to gamble or even speak of gambling in their presence ( whether an addict or not) else they'll start harboring the idea and little by little, they'll start nurturing the idea and before you know it, they'll start to practice it in one way or the other, and when it gets to that point, the idea is already registered in their young mind and they'll grow up with that mentality.

It's just like saying don't drink irresponsibly or get drunk in front of kids rather than saying don't drink at all in front of kids.

it will really be a big problem staying around family that doesn't encourage gambling because they are definitely going to stereotype such person and will most likely push such person away because they feel such person is not a responsible person and will mess with his finance and by extension their own finance aswell which has in turn affected them,  but then whenever some one is observed to be addicted to something in any form it's usually better if they start in time to get help for such person both professionally or other way so that such a person don't get to the point they will be seen as out of control.

Gamblers or generally people who are involved in one habits or the other that could be addictive, shouldn't wait until they are sent out of their home or they have become a problem to the society before they will be able to seek help because at such point it becomes difficult to help them.

Well, if your families and friends are not used to having accompanying people who are addicted to any sort of gambling or drugs, you won't be tolerated and the worst-case scenario is you will be kicked out of home since they can no longer control you or you cause more harm than giving any benefits to them. when you ask those homeless who were used to living with their families, their answers are almost the same, they were kicked out because they could not be under control anymore and they don't listen to anybody inside their home, and at the end, they were force to be homeless and others are further drone to their addictions because of it and only a few of them wanted to change for the better.

Family members who don't know how to overcome a gambling or drug addiction will kick out the gambling addict instead of trying to help him cure his gambling or drug addiction, making the addict feel like he is alone and no one cares about him. This makes them feel frustrated and hopeless seeing the conditions they face, so they feel that living in this world is no longer meaningful. Perhaps this is what causes a large number of suicide cases due to excessive gambling or drug addiction, so these cases may still increase. That is why family members who know that one of them is addicted to gambling should be able to immediately assist to cure the addict so that they can start their new life again.

This is why realization and self-awareness are important for everyone because one needs to think it through before they get into anything in their life when they know it's not just about them but they might lose everything they have if they face certain problems after starting to do something, like in gambling, a person understands that if they get addicted, they will have a hard time getting out of it and if they can't do that, they will most likely get themselves ruined.

So, someone who is getting into gambling should understand both the positive and negative consequences of gambling and then they should evaluate the ways they should use so that they can avoid the risks that can lead them towards the negative consequences so that they don't face severe problems because of their gambling activities.

life is neglected, even our own family will sometimes hate and shun us due to gambling addiction, it is so painful that everything is destroyed because of gambling, we don't have a family, our finances are disrupted and even if we want to stop it will be difficult to do so.
