If there is one thing that is so hard to quit,it is gambling.This is hard because as long as human being is concerned,one will always want to make money,and as they say,that human needs are insatiable,human desire to make money can never be satisfied,therefore,this urge to make more money even when you have some is what drives one into gambling.
There are two people involved when we are talking about gambling,we have the gamblers who aren't addicted to it,and the addicted gamblers.If one is addicted to gambling,It would be so difficult for that fellow to stop gambling habbit,while it might be easy for someone who isn't really into gambling to,but gambles once in a while for fun to stop.
It involves a matter of self-awareness and recognition that gambling does not benefit him, so he decides to stop gambling. But if he is not aware and does not want to stop gambling, he will not be able to stop gambling and maybe he will get deeper into gambling. Everything will get worse when he doesn't want to realize that he is addicted to gambling and has no desire to stop gambling, even for a moment. But if he had seen what happened to other people who had experienced gambling addiction and then thought that he was like that person, maybe he would have decided to stop gambling and never return to gambling again.
Personally though, i do not think that knowing or seeing what happened to other gambling addicts is enough reason for any gambling addicts out there to stop gambling, except the gambler was never addicted in the first place.
Why did i say this?
First, oi say this because, stories of how gambling ruined the life, family, finances and even health of some people addicted to it is all over the internet, it is discussed on several places like social media platforms, and online forums like this one, and some of these addicted gamblers even engage themselves in such discussions, and yet, we still have a lot of addicted gamblers all around us online and offline.
What i think others gambling addicts bad experiences can do for the now addicts who are to experience the same is, it can only make them want to be more careful, and this is only but for a while.
