I haven't read paid an extreme  attention to any of .y friends  especially  in their choice of career or even their gambling career and I think its time to do so and the only addiction case I've been in one way or the other involved was that of a friends husband and it wasn't a funny one and the husband never knew he was already addicted and gets mad at anyone who thinks he wasn't normal and he also had to sell their car and that was when I had to come in because I was already seeing this marriage at the verge of collapse and it really took me blood and sweat to put back this marriage and also put control control over the husband's betting addiction.
Addiction  is a very strong disease and it takes more than enoughenougg effort to fight it through.

The consequence of betting addiction are so huge that it not only affects the individual but also impacts everything around them. Besides having a bad reputation, and facing ban, Ivan's career is already over.
How is his career over? He is banned for eight months, not for life.
^ Definitely right and in fact from the article.

("We consider this matter closed and look forward to welcoming Ivan back to training in September and seeing him representing Brentford in the Premier League in January.")
On our side, if this happens in real life, if you suspect that someone you know is struggling with a gambling addiction, you can show this situation with empathy, understanding, and support. Let your friend know that you are there for them and willing to support their journey to recovery. Offer to accompany them to have a long off-town vacation if they feel comfortable with it. It is important not to enable their addiction by providing them with money for gambling or covering up their financial losses. Instead, encourage healthy lifestyle alternative activities.

As you are reading this, it's quite common for many of us to have a friend or family member similar to Ivan. How did you become aware that your friend is struggling with gambling addiction, and what actions have you taken to help them to over it?

I don't think I have ever helped any of my friends who have being struggling with gambling addiction overcome it. If you're really close to them then it won't be difficult to spot them most times you won't even have to do anything they will be the one come up to you and seek for your advice directly, but that will only be possible if you're the open type and the non-judging type.
I have helped with other addictions aside gambling and most times when I see that the case is more than waht I can handle I do refer them to those who have had similar problem in the past and have overcome them for advices, and this type is very effective since the person has had an experience and won't jsut be talking or giving advice based on some studies but instead it will be based on what they themselves did that helped them.

It is easy to know a friend that is an addict because friends do reveal themselves to other friends if they are gambling. About family, you should try and study how all your family member react to situations. If you see any of your family checking phone or laptop, happy before and just gone say like mood swing, that is one of the first sign of something to be going wrong which can be gambling. It is good to also educate your children in all areas of life, including the side effects and negative impacts of gambling.

The consequence of betting addiction are so huge that it not only affects the individual but also impacts everything around them. Besides having a bad reputation, and facing ban, Ivan's career is already over.  Although there are critics of the ban by the FA, in my opinion, it doesn't hold any water. The deed has been done, and even if they overturn their judgement one thing is sure; he has a gambling problem. It is already out there and will be there forever.
