Yes, it will be difficult for gambler to recover after the damages of his addictions. That is why, he needs the support of people around him so that he can complete his recovery. If no one is there to help him get through the hard times, he might just regress back into a gambling addict. And that is very sad if that happens.
well I was once a gambler and now I'm against it, I don't want others to experience what did happen to me. Because gambling really did wrecked my life and also my relationship to my family. Because whenever I don't have enough money for gambling, I'm asking them to give me money.
And if they can't give me, I'm becoming a monster that becomes mad at them.
