Of course chasing losses will always be an action that can never be justified, because after all there are very significant adverse effects that begin with losing money slowly in the long run, and obviously these impacts can destroy the financial situation in the family which will most likely make it difficult for them to make ends meet. Expenses will be much greater than income and this is what will destroy the balance in one's finances due to excessive spending on gambling.
In the end, as you said, no one cares about us except ourselves, meaning that if the bad habit is not stopped immediately, the situation will get worse over time and I am sure that the people around us will also stay away from us when they find out that we are having problems in life because of the impact of gambling. Therefore, we should not get tired of reminding anyone, especially beginners, to really apply a rational mindset and point of view in themselves before it's too late, because as we know that if you have entered the addiction phase then it is a very difficult problem to overcome.
Indeed, addiction is really a difficult situation to battle for those individual who became slave with it specially when bad habits remains a redundant actions. Giving reminders and warning to someone who's not absorbing our thoughts is kinda exhausting, and its not worth it for someone who has no plans to change their mindset and attitude. In reality we couldn't force someone to stop, since they all have their own personal reasons that hinders them to flee from gambling quickly. Some people said that they have perfect time for everything, then there's no need to have repetitive advice and it's up to them if they'll going take those helpful words of wisdom.
Yes, that's right, giving advice or direction to someone who is addicted is tiring, because in the end it depends on themselves, if for example they really still have it.
high obsession with gambling then of course there is a big possibility that whatever we suggest will not be able to change anything and there is even a possibility that maybe they will think that we are one of the people who interferes too much in their affairs.
So basically it is a good action for us to try to help people who are addicted with various actions that we can, one of which is by giving advice, that is good, but if for example they really cannot appreciate our help or from other people and instead say something that shouldn't be said to us then let it be, because actually this is only a matter of time, in the sense that as time goes by they will also definitely realize that their actions and thought patterns are actions that are harmful to them, especially when they have experienced some significant bad things that really traumatized them.
