People harness the believe and don't care a bit over the pains an addict undergoes. On the other hand, regardless of the treatment an addict foresees he'd get from his loved one, hiding his habit wouldn't help or solve a thing. He needs to open up when feeling any gambling challenge. A closed mouth is a closed destiny they say, if no one knows about the gambler's pains, he'll languish in the trouble for a longer period. Also comparing the treatment alcohol addicts gets to gambling addicts can't change their perspective. It's better the gambling addicts find a means of staying clear from the suffering. Instead of hiding from people, they can share the trouble with a loved one, whom they think will be of help.
If they have the way to share it from other people better doing so, instead of keeping that suffering which most of the time bring them to much deeper side of addiction, it's an own will decision to make things lighter, if you want to cure yourself you need to work and seek for help, it's no longer controllable if your addiction already in the high level, only matter for you is how to please your gambling and nothing else that encircling inside you, just keep pushing and keep playing around, it's unfair treatment but it' becuase of what you are jus showing, but if you start bring things out and start seeking for help.
People who still cares for you will be there, it's something that needed to begin from you and there should be that self-willingness and determination to quit your way from this situation.
My concern is about the gamblers who are not able to express their problems to the entire society or a loved one. But live the well-known life of an addict. And people are careless about recuperating their brains or thoughts. Generally, it's known that a player must be willing to be healed before responding to treatment. Yet communicating with the addicts who are not ready to change, can help reduce the period it'll consume for the player to redirect his thoughts to a better one. Neglecting them completely extends the period and makes the person act very strange. To the extent of hurting the society, he belongs to or finds himself in. It could be theft or selling of illicit items, for quick funds and wealth.
However, the goal of every gambler is never to get addicted or neglected when addicted. Hence, it would be wrong for a player after recovery to realize he was neglected on his worst days. I mean people should be approached if they choose not to reach out to us. Provided the person makes some moves showing he's in a psychological trauma. Effectively questioning his actions can help revitalize the person. Currently, lots of gamblers are forgotten by their loved ones. And when he does something bad, which everyone knows he would, they'll tag it on gambling. So, gradually calling to order those who are not willing to share their problems, still helps in building a serene or good environment.
