Family factors may be able to help gambling addicts to stop temporarily if their financial condition is unstable or insufficient, but it depends on the attitude of the gambling addict himself. Sometimes there are also selfish gamblers who only think about themselves and only want to carry out their gambling activities so that they can do more. setting aside money for gambling rather than thinking about their family, there are rarely addicts who can really stop even though their financial condition is unstable and there are even those who are desperate to take out loans just to continue their activities this is for chronic addicts. But for ordinary addicts it's normal and they can still do it advised that they can stop due to various factors and one of them may be to meet the needs of the family.
On my point it is not sometimes but most of the time, gambling addicted individual are selfish becuase they are just caring with what they want and they will push to continue even they already wasting money when they are in sessions, I think people who have this kind of situation needs to continue being close to their love ones, the pressure that those people provide will help to realize that there's already a problem that needed to address.
Just need to make sure that the person that have that kind of issue is willing to submit his situation and have that self-will to work with anyone who's giving aid to help.
The condition of some gamblers is not interesting and would need the intervention of loved ones to help save them gambler from addiction. Because the player is no longer in control of his actions. Mental disorders can lead to problems and misfortunes for most gamblers. The lifestyle of gambling addicts doesn't differ, they have similar risks and are prone to taking loans for gambling purposes. The aim of gambling is tarnished by these gamblers. Their attitude spoils the impression people have of gambling if they had. Addiction is chronic and takes a long time to heal. Even if a player opens up to his loved ones or family, they'll still spend lots of money trying to cure or save him from living a terrific lifestyle. The selfishness erupts in them because their brain only revolves around gambling and the player won't be able to help it. In most cases, the family of the gambler won't know of this, because they fail to be attentive or observant of their close friends. I don't understand, Fredomago, what you mean by ordinary addicts, but I'd say that in your response it could mean that they are just new to gambling addiction.
The only difficult aspect of such addiction is that only a few addicts would be able to find out that they're now addicted to gambling.
Mainly, most gamblers figure out about their problem gambling, when in the middle of it, and won't be able to change easily. If the player is lucky enough to find out early, then he's still a bit in control of himself, then he's not yet fully an addicted gambler. Families are great resources when we find ourselves in certain life-troubling situations like gambling. But, it's always a turn in their flesh, because they'll have to take care of all the mistakes of their ward or loved one. Imagine in a situation where the gambler has taken loans, his family will have to pay off the debt. Hence it's not always easy to find a family that'll heartedly help a gambling addict. The problem mainly revolves around blame and accusations. Either the family blames the gambler for his problems or the addict accuses his family of putting him in such a hard condition. Both parties may not accept the responsibility. Thereby increasing the problem.
