Yes, it's true that environmental factors can influence people to try gambling for the first time, for example from close friends who are also gamblers, of course we will try something that friends invite, it's commonplace like friends inviting us to drink alcohol, obviously we can't refuse let alone play gambling, it is clear that we will also be affected because of a friend's invitation.
Generally, it is the environment that influences a person to be involved in gambling because usually they will invite them to try it first and after that we will be addicted to gambling. When parental control is lacking, we will become more addicted and difficult to get out of gambling. Vice versa addiction in alcohol and other things if not properly controlled by their parents.
Maybe a lot of money has been lost because of gambling, sometimes by gambling because inviting friends can create hostility and conflict, usually because of money problems and perceived defeats, let alone becoming an addict, that's why even though I like to gamble for fun, I never want to invite my friends to play gambling. . if he can't control himself and becomes an addict of course I'm very guilty of ruining my friend's life.
If the nature is addicted it will be difficult to get out of the gambling circle, unless we leave the environment and try to find other activities for everyday. I was released from addiction due to work factors and left the gambling environment where I lived in the village and am grateful that now I am no longer addicted to gambling.
