Starting over from scratch once more? That certainly presents a formidable challenge, doesn't it?

Making the choice to cease frequenting casinos and abstaining from gambling any further is indeed a commendable decision. However, it must be acknowledged that simply relinquishing one's indulgence in gambling will not suffice in rectifying all predicaments, such as the strain inflicted upon familial bonds. The journey of rebuilding trust is an arduous undertaking, for it can be obliterated in a mere moment. Moreover, we must bear in mind that not everyone possesses the capacity to embrace our imperfections nor can they wholeheartedly embrace our shadowed past. This contemplation arises due to the apprehension surrounding whether or not the individual is on the correct path...for he yearns to enhance his existence and refrain from replicating his previous missteps.
However, one must understand that no effort is in vain when attempting to enhance one's current limitations. Therefore, it is crucial to maintain this resolve and refrain from allowing external influences to dictate the need for transformation. The apprehension lies in the possibility that ultimately, individuals may not embrace your existence, leading to a sense of despair that could result in desperation and subsequently, impulsive decisions.

Sometimes I ask my family about how busy I am  so far that I don't have time for them or not. the answer was normal, in the sense that they didn't feel like I was busy myself or wasting time  gambling. However for me I feel that the time spent is quite long. You must know that we sometimes lose track of time when we are busy staring  at the computer in the middle of the night etc. Because it's my job to work at home but I feel like my time with my children is often disturbed.

I seriously want to reflect and  measure my time  between working, gambling and accompanying my family. Things that until now are still difficult  to regulate. So how do you  think I can be more disciplined in this regard?

Yes that's right, in general and overall gambling activities do have a negative point of view in the eyes of society, none other than because this is an activity that bets money where how it works is only dependent on luck, so there will only be two answers, namely winning and losing while on the other hand the casino will not be defeated which means the number of losers is more than the winners and it causes someone involved to eventually experience financial problems to get into debt along with other problems such as depression which certainly makes a negative public perspective on gambling knowing this bad impact.

Although the view of gambling is very bad in the eyes of society but it may not be that simple to enter and get involved, it requires a scenario where there is an indication or something that seems to invite someone to get involved and bet, as you said in a school environment, it makes sense when you say that the theory of gambling in schools will only make students curious and then interested in trying something that is explained negatively by one of the teachers, ignorance of what gambling is along with curiosity combines and combines into one goal which is to try and get involved.

Loosing family time due to gambling is mostly common amongst addicts as normal and responsible gamblers know how to schedule their time such that they will have enough time to spend with family and still have time to gamble regardless of how much time they spend at the casino a.d that's why they are seen as responsible because they have that discipline that helps them regulate their habit.

Because of the ability to not been able to regulate how much they gamble, the irresponsible and addicted gamblers could then get into depression especially after they must have suffered a huge loss, it's also common for most family members to want to despise addicted gamblers because they may feel his attitude may turn out a problem for them.amd they wouldn't want to be associated with such hence they despise them and even when they become depressed they don't have someone to get to because maybe family is gone.

Gambling often times is stressful and could derail a gambler's brain power to reason in a smart way. Most gamblers we've came across misbehaving were not gamblers, but the moment they began gambling they abused the rules of the game. Not sure they knew the rules. They only played gambling without any orientation or research about the need to gamble. Many of them gambled because of peer influence, and after multiple years of engaging in gambling, they can't stay a day without gambling. Some of which does not stop after being cured of addiction, still gamble, but limits it. Hence, I'd say that those gamblers only begin to learn about gambling after they've been cured of their problem gambling. Then those who followed the rules of gambling and still got addicted where actually not giving the brain a break to rest. Thereby overworking themselves to the point their thoughts wasn't conducive for gambling.

Getting your point, as the time you spend with your gambling will be the time that you lost since you are very focus with gambling and forget about those people around you, it's hard to repair a relationship if you are already engage too much with gambling, there's nothing inside your mind aside from how will you please your desire for gambling.

I think the only possible way is to completely quit with your will and make sure not to think about it anymore, after that, when everything already fresh, you can try to work out with your relationship and spend all your time to accomplish your will to repair everything.

Knowledge about gambling, as for me, is spread very poorly in society everywhere. There are many myths and misconceptions around this knowledge. In general, this topic is largely taboo. After all, they don’t talk about this, for example, at school. What if gambling was discussed in school in a negative way? I think this would only make students more interested. After all, as you know, the forbidden fruit is sweet. Students would decide to try and test in practice the theories that adults tell them about. It's a bit like sex education. There are a lot of delicate boundaries here.

It is true that the big disadvantage of gambling is losing a lot of time with our family or loved ones. Gambling enthusiasts only think about how to get money from winning gambling matches and return the money they have spent in losing. In fact, it is not uncommon for us to meet gambling enthusiasts who are willing to leave their families just for what they say is to have fun and earn money.
However, when they start to realize that they are very depressed, no one cares about them anymore because their relationship has just been thrown away. they think no one cares about their situation, even though they themselves have thrown it all away.

That means they are missing two important things in their life. And it is true that they can still earn money, but they will not be able to make up for the time they have lost, while that is time they should spend with the people closest to them. They will find it difficult to build a relationship like before because everything has changed, and often, they will not be able to get it even if they try. Even though they try, if they still gamble frequently, the results will not be optimal, and their relationships with those closest to them will no longer be good. When someone who often gambles also experiences losses, even a lot of losses, their relationships with those closest to them may also fade, and they will not be able to get what they got before. The relationship can also be destroyed, like what they feel in gambling, so it is very difficult to repair the relationship.

In my country, I am also often found like this, especially in the slums that have a dense young population. In a country that has a high level of poverty, education about gambling is really almost not in distribution, this is the reason that causes many people who live in slums, it becomes addicted to gambling.
The effect is not only that, in slums there will usually be also drug trafficking - prostitution - robbery, things like this are accustomed to being seen in slums, only a few have survived negatively things like things, and for chronic gambling addicts, they must have a broken family and that for sure.

They will not only lose their money, but they will also lose their precious time. Lost money can be found again, but if time is lost, where do you want to look for it. And maybe you will not only lose your personal time, but you will also lose time with your partner and family. Because you have prioritized the gambling you do, compared to other activities.
So quite a few people whose romances are destroyed because of their bad behavior in gambling, their families become disharmonious because they often abandon them. And there are quite a few whose households have been destroyed, simply because they prioritize their gambling activities over family matters. Maybe we can look for a partner again, but unfortunately when our children often feel neglected and don't get attention from their parents, this will be the reason why a child chooses to hate and not respect their parents. And when a child hates his parents, then who will you use as a place to go home to?

Those who rely on gambling as a source of income will obviously use up more money because before they can make money from gambling, they will encounter many losses that will probably wipe out all their money in one go. They will not want to stop even though they have run out of money and will deposit more money to continue gambling. No one knows when they will realize their mistake and will decide to use gambling as a source of income. Meanwhile, those who have won also continue to gamble because they are increasingly eager to win bigger wins, even though this can make them experience defeat after defeat and can also cause their money to run out. And defeat after defeat is what will cause them to suffer prolonged frustration because they have run out of all their money with nothing left.

Just by gambling more often can cause them to lose control of themselves in gambling, so we really have to be able to pay attention to ourselves when gambling. We must not be like those who have lost a lot of money from gambling because it is not worth it for us, especially for those of us who, from the start, only wanted to use gambling as entertainment. When someone has become addicted to gambling, they can do all the things they can do and even those that don't seem to make sense, so it makes many people question why they can do that. This is just a small example of what has happened in society that we must avoid because, after all, experiencing a gambling addiction can be dangerous for our lives and those of our families, so we must really be able to prevent it from happening to us.

Occurrence like the old man and his family should serve as a lesson to people who wants to venture into gambling. They need to understand that if they don't follow some good routines when gambling they can lose out their control and misbehave. Doing things that would land them in jail. Then families on the other hand should begin to put their ears on the ground regarding the activities of a family member who gambles a lot. So that they can understand what exactly to be done to help the person out of his troubles. Because, when a little trouble is neglected it'll buzz to a bigger trouble which can diminish the growth of the family. Gamblers are expected to stay learning before and after joining the gambling niche. The elderly man may have been neglected and wasn't asked about why his money keeps running low. As a problem can't ignite without a symptom. His family may have seen that he's consistently asking for money. But didn't ask questions. In a nutshell, families and newbie gamblers should learn from things like this, and abstain from being victims.

One thing about gambling madness is that it'll not just affect you as a person but will also affect your immediate family and that's why it's very important that as a gambler, you have to be emotionally strong enough to regulate your gambling activities in other not to experience gambling madness.

The effects of gambling madness I don't think is based on the country or environment one finds himself as it affects people of different tribes and nationalities that refuse to be responsible in their gambling engagements. Gambling has helped many people to alleviate from their poor status quo but has rendered even more people useless because of their recklessness in gambling activities.

Making gambling is the full source of earning the person is the foolish person ever in his life. In gambling and treading no one can tell you what is going to heppend. That's the reason if you are fully depend on gambling you are fucking your self your own. Because you are damaging your economy. At the end of the if you faces huge loss you will see that you can't make anything from gambling that's the reason make it primary do other work. Or gambling is your main income source then do business or other thik from the earning of gambling because if you face big loss you will see nothing you made from gambling that's the reason make a back up for stand up. Or otherwise you can't make anything from it.

This stage of addiction is what we say is dangerous, and if it still persists, the situation can get out of hand, and the person who's committing crimes may not be in need of help anymore. But there are also cases where, after some gamblers who are addicted to a crime reflect, and after they get released, they can change and have a better life. It may be a hard way of reflecting and changing, but that's the reality.

But I don't think someone will be at that level of addiction if their family members have concern for them. Maybe it is not their responsibility to help their family member, but the thing is, if they have conscience for their family member, then they should help him if they see that the family member is getting worse and in danger of committing crime, but the worst is if the gambler has no family that can help him.

It is true that some gamblers struggle to fight their level of gambling in order to become responsible gamblers, but it all depends on their efforts to fight gambling itself if they are able to set limits and can discipline their gambling then they can become responsible gamblers but if they cannot manage their finances then he will not be able to become a gambler like that, he may even be without realizing it, he is not a responsible gambler but instead is addicted to gambling, because I have also met someone who gambles every day but he doesn't admit it if he is addicted. , this awareness should make gamblers aware not to overdo it so they don't become addicted to gambling.

Yes, unfortunately most gamblers consider gambling to make a profit, the pretext may be just for entertainment but deep down they definitely want a winning result, and yes because they are too chasing wins and recovering their mental losses just to gamble so it will be difficult for them to manage their expenses and limits. That's why many people are addicted because they chase their losses too much.

People wont learn until they would really be busting up themselves in gambling on which they would really be coming in to a point that you would really be that nearly be sleeping on the streets just because you dont have any more money or finances because of too much spending in gambling. Find yourself that too much impulsive towards gambling then it would really be bringing out that kind of
damage into your finances then people would really be starting on trying to look on what they have done on which they should have done this earlier and not sooner.
You could really be able to avoid things if you do really just that make yourself mindful towards your actions and dont make yourself that too impulsive
when it comes to things specially on gambling on which we know that it is really that very risky.

Things that is not usual and you won't expect that they can do, seeing someone who rely to gambling as source of income most of the time turned to addicted gambler, instead of making money they suffer from huge losses, and they are going to resort to something will give them money to play back and try to recover, some may sell important items or valuable items while others can barrow money or loan but in some cases some addicted gamblers also do illegal things or commit crimes just to get the money that they needed to play back and fill the desire of gambling.

Gambling addiction mostly occurs in poor people, not only in your country, in my country there are also many gambling addicts who come from people who live in slum areas which can be said to be below the poverty line. This is all because their mindset towards gambling is wrong, they generally gamble in the hope of recovering their economy or wanting to change their fate from gambling. The craziness they commit is sometimes beyond normal, some steal, sell their wives, and some even have the heart to kill people just so they can get money.

It is no longer a public secret that the impact of gambling will be very bad if there is no proper education and no change in the right way of thinking. It is not wrong if the government in my country prohibits gambling in public places, both online and offline. Even though gambling still exists, at least there is anticipation from the government. Because from all the cases I read in various media, many gamblers who become criminals come from poor communities.
