Topic: Indirect victims of gambling addiction - page 4. (Read 1247 times)

Whatever is the tree, and so is its fruit. So when parents are gambling, most likely children will also imitate what their parents are doing, and might be thinking that gambling is the best and the most effective way to gain profits. They will continue to absorb this mindset even when they get matured, and even when they have learned in school that severe gambling is not good at all, but deep in their hearts, they will still chose to gamble because even their parents have been gambling throughout the years.

This is a sad reality that children are the most affected individuals when it comes to gambling. Good thing if they can be guided by some good people around, and will correct their mindset about gambling. But if the environment they will grow are populated by gamblers, then it’s a sure thing that these children will definitely grow into addicted gamblers as well.

One of the main things that makes parenting would really be challenging is that you would really be needing to check your kids or children because in todays era then it would really be that so hard
to avoid for those kids not to see those things and not only on the things they do see online but also into those people who are in surrounding on which doing that gambling activity.
Anyone could really be able to influence you on which even if you are adult then you are really that prone into such possibility. Gambling addicts wont really be minding about into those people who would really be that affected or would be influenced on what they are doing. They would really be minding on their own interest in mind and people around could neither be affected or not.

It's sad to actually see underage children already addicted to gambling games,
But it's been unopposable, and some parents are also playing the same game, so there is no ban whatsoever.

In my opinion in this case it is the same as I said before regardless of whether there is a special expert (therapy) to cure gambling or a family that helps us to stop and reduce addiction actually it will seem useless if in the end we ourselves cannot control ourselves because from the beginning when you really want to stop in addiction, there must be an intention from yourself first. because the existence of special experts and family is only a push factor so that we can stop the effects of addiction faster but if in the end there is no intention in ourselves to stop even though there are lots of experts and family who want to help to get out of gambling it will not be able to be done even though there may be some people who can but it is only temporary because the intention to gamble in themselves is still there.

This is what must be considered because we know that we alone can control ourselves and as long as that cannot be done then indeed in the end it will still be difficult to stop and you will remain in the effects of addiction even though many support you to stop gambling.

Overcoming gambling addiction has undoubtedly been one of the most difficult things for an addict to do, it's possible to do so but being possible doesn't make it easy.
To Overcome addiction, you need more than just a bunch people around you tryna help you get rid of your addiction. What a person really needs the most is the desire to quit the addiction, this desire always comes from within. You'll need to first take that bold step before someone else can step in to help you.
It's more like planting a seed, no matter the amount of water and sunlight you give that seed, if the soil is infertile, all the water and sunlight would be wasted efforts. If a person doesn't first cultivate that determination, then there's no amount of support from friends and loved ones that can effect any positive changes in the victim's life.

Well it is quite difficult to get rid of addiction to gambling because even in this case what you said is true where family and closest people may indeed be quite helpful when someone wants to get out of the vicious circle where addiction has been in themselves but on the other hand it is only an option to increase support because after all someone who is addicted to gambling can only stop when they have the intention to stop in themselves.

As long as there is no intention to stop, the help from family and closest people will seem useless because they do not have the intention to gamble and only like to appreciate the help of those closest to them but do not eliminate the desire to gamble.

Just as there are indirect victims of gambling, there are also indirect harms, such as if a family member is addicted to gambling and practices it openly within the family. It is not surprising that someone learns gambling out of curiosity and becomes addicted as well. There are many cases in which there is more than one person addicted to gambling in the same family. This would definitely be enough to destroy her.
Also, many cases of domestic violence have been recorded in families with gambling addicts. All studies show that cases of addiction may lead, in advanced stages, to a person being aggressive in his attitudes and behaviors.

It is clear, with the current existence of online casino gambling, of course many young people are familiar with gambling and they even gamble in their lives. I'm sure that in all countries there are young people who are addicted to gambling, and if we venture out of town and find a group of young people and we ask about online casino gambling, I think at least one of them will definitely know about it or be familiar with it. if they are addicted at a young age of course it will create problems for their future, it is possible that they will have socialization problems.
Yes, that's true, with online discussions like this I also hope to make them aware so they don't gamble excessively which can be detrimental to themselves, including their future. Many people who have a bad view of gambling are due to the actions of the gamblers themselves who gamble beyond their reasonable limits. They hope to get a big win using the amount of money they bet. However, they tend not to see the risks and impacts of excessive gambling.

One of the biggest causes that affect it in my opinion is in terms of the environment and also social media, which maybe we also know that nowadays most children who are minors spend more time playing social media or watching YouTube shows after school, and there are so many sites that do large promotions in several social media which are clearly very likely for a child who is still underage to eventually be influenced and involved in gambling.

We hope that the government can really limit or even prohibit promotional impressions made by online casinos on several social media because after all it has a very negative impact and influence on someone who is underage and it can have an impact on their personality and future, and also on the other hand the role of parents is also very important where parents must be able to limit the activities carried out by their children, especially in the use of smart phones, because after all prevention is always better than cure. In the event that you're looking to get a new home, you'll want to make sure that you've got a good idea of the kind of home you're looking for, and that you've got a good idea of the kind of home you want, But for the problem of risk I think this type of game is much greater than other types of gambling because there are so many temptations and things that look tempting that it is very difficult to ignore but it is difficult to become a reality and to get a win you have to be really lucky, many gamblers who run out of large amounts of money in just one session because of the difficulty of controlling emotions when something that looks tempting is very difficult to get.

Partners in dependency - Relatives often try to "understand" the addict and help him, by paying off his debts, while accepting his promise to stop gambling, a promise he is unable to keep. More than once, family members come to the aid process, becoming partners so that they become “addicted” to the therapeutic process. But help works in exactly the opposite direction instead of helping the gambler wean off, they perpetuate his condition. These partners, such as parents or spouses, may find themselves in great distress that requires treatment.
