The gambler will not feel the bad effects, but instead, his family will feel it, so this requires awareness from the gambler to see the reality of what is happening in front of him so that he can realize that he has done the wrong thing. He couldn't deny that his family needed him to return to his family so he could provide the things his family needed. But if he continues his gambling game and ignores this, he will not be able to see how his family will abandon him because he has to bear such a heavy burden. And when the gambler sees that he is alone, he will be confused and maybe that's where his regret arises. We should prevent bad things from happening than for us to suffer bad consequences, especially with our families if they suffer bad consequences too.

Mentioning the negatives of gambling addiction affects the relatives and family more. When a gambler is addicted good things seem bad to him and he does not feel that he is harming himself then the family has to bear this sad suffering. After the family gradually spread its influence in the society. Try to change them for a short period of time. Taking good care of yourself before committing to bad deeds will quickly improve your positive state.

But the gamblers doesn't always see addiction as a problem, they won't know that they're addicted. They'll always think they're living life like everyone else. Gambling addicts have a mindset that they're doing the right thing which is why it becomes very difficult for them to stop gambling. A gambling addicts will make the life of his family and love ones very difficult as he'll always ask them for money through loans to use in gambling and losses all to the casino.

When other individual in the society knows someone in your family is a gambling addicts you'll be the one to receive all the judgement from them and you'll be feeling ashamed to go out in public as everyone knows someone in your family isn't responsible. The society consider gambling addicts as not responsible individuals and if you refuse to loan them money to help them stop gambling, they'll start stealing.

Literally i would say it affects the gambler rhe most. Reason because it is the gambler who got addicted so the losses and consequences of not gambling responsible would be on his shoulder. His immediate family are only suffering from the feeling of being related to a gambling addict. Perhaps if the gambler is one who goes extreme mile to get money to continue gambling, like selling of properties, taking unnecessary loans then the family will be in great pain because his family will loss trust in him and wont see him like someone who can successfully lead the family.

I totally disagree with what you've just said. You are looking at it on a different side which is the positive side of gambling why not think of the negative side. Yes, the gambler may have the opportunity to win big in the future but the odds are low. Great, if he wims big he is now rich but what if he was unlucky at the end. He will be frustrated why he did not stop gambling ever since. There are more chances that even if he won big he wont stop gambling and may also lose the money in gambling again. I have seen situation like that.

If we compare who suffers more, then, of course, first of all we should point out the relatives of the gambling addict. The gambler himself suffers last of all. No, he certainly suffers from losses. But for a certain time he is in the land of pink ponies, in which there is always room for optimism. The gambler believes that all difficulties are temporary and that he should only wait for the big win. And then a new wonderful life will begin. Relatives, on the other hand, are more critical from the very beginning and financial problems do not add to their optimism. Any pain is easier to bear with optimism and vice versa, sadness intensifies the pain.

Yes. A gambler is not addicted if he gambles with in limitation and don't try to increase money as a earning source. People who gamble excessively and try to rely on gambling money are more likely to become addicted. Gamblers are unlikely to have any major problems as long as they are not in debt. When gamblers gambling with debt money, it starts to take its effect on the family. If the gambler has no family then his distant relatives will also affect. A gambler not only harms himself but also harms others in various ways. Who are dependent on the gambler such as his children and wife are the worst affected.

In the case of an addict who has a family, it is certain that the inability to pay the debt will result in the creditors harassing that person's family, all relatives can be dragged into the problem and threatened. attack if debt is not paid.

My family has also witnessed this situation. I remember when I was young, about 7 - 8 years old, some people who I guessed were creditors came to my house to collect money from my father's gambling debt, and the story is not complicated , my family had to sell the house and land they were living on. It's not a very pleasant story to repeat, so from an early age I always knew that some personal mistakes could have unpredictable consequences. I don't want to blame gambling, because this is exactly a personal fault and I know that if I play responsibly, there will be no problem at all, and even now I am also a gambler but honestly, to me it's just entertainment tools, and not for the purpose of making money or being financially tied to this field.

Agreed. A mother in most cases goes to the very end in fighting for her child's well being. I am sometimes even surprised at what a mother's concern can lead to.

As I said before, in my opinion the children suffer the most, because the wife can pack her bags and go to her parents at any time. Children have no way to escape the pressure of a parent with a gambling addiction. Therefore, they are hostage to this situation.

The family is the one who feels the impact the most, if it is the head of the family who is addicted to gambling. They will have difficulty surviving because the head of the family may have used the money for gambling. And if the family does not have savings or savings, it will add to their suffering because they will lose their money just for gambling. Their family's financial balance will be disturbed because their money allocation will be messed up so that they will no longer be able to meet their family's needs.

There have been many cases of divorce that have occurred because of the gambling problems experienced by many families. If that happens, the children will feel the impact of the divorce, especially if the children are still small or teenagers. They will see how their parents separated because of gambling, and that can make them experience trauma that will be difficult to heal. This may be the result of someone who is addicted to gambling and does not want to try to cure his gambling addiction, causing his family to fall apart. Later, their children can become gamblers like their parents, especially if they often see their parents gambling, so they will think that gambling is a normal thing.

That is not good when gambling is not properly handled because, apart from the first to be damaged the character of the addicted gambler, the next to be affected if it is a family is his wife and children, if any. That is why it is so important that a gambler have self-discipline or self-control.

Just these two, we can only use them correctly as gamblers. I am sure they will contribute a lot to our becoming responsible gamblers. I am also sure that no family will be destroyed if it is used correctly. It's just sad to think that there are incidents like that just because the greediness and addiction to devouring other gamblers because of such a bad habit were neglected.

I would say that the negative consequences of gambling addiction can affect any member of a gambling family. However, everything depends on the degree of kinship and the closeness of the relationship. After all, it is known that not all relatives can have close relationships. But first of all, those closest to you come under attack: husband or wife, as well as children, if any. But if there are no children, then the spouse often leaves the gamblers. If the mother is alive, she usually provides the necessary support to the dependent.

Everyone is going to be affected unfortunately, sort of like gambling has it's domino effect to everyone near the gambler. Their kids might suffer the most though, if by worst case scenario, and in this case if the Father as head of the family failed to provide, then who will bring food in the table for them? So not only in financial, but also psychologically, the kids might take the burnt out of this failed relationship and int turn if he grows up might turn into a gambling addict as well. So it's very important to us not to fall into this trap of being addicted and we should learn to prioritized things. And if we really love our family, wife and kids, then somewhat we will control our gambling and not put all the money into it and save some.

Who does gambling addiction affect the most?

Of course the gambler, it will affect the family for sure and it has a big impact especially if the addict has a wife and children because they are the victim but the one who has the most difficulty in this situation is the gambler even if we say that they brought themselves there. It's hard to stop being addicted to gambling and it's the gambler's fault why he ended up in that situation.

This is true that it will affect the next people to the addict, that is the dependants like the wife, children and relatives. This is because when someone is engrossed in gambling, apart from money, they don't give time and attention to their families. They get distracted by what they are doing with gambling and the family will suffer because their is a certain care required to grow the children and when one party is not playing their own role both financially, emotionally and otherwise it will affect the offspring.

Moreoso regards to finance, if you are gambling in loses then you are losing the family finance also, money that was suppose to be used for school fees are wasted in gambling, psychologically it set the home backwards if not leading to quarrel between the husband and the wife. Again, it is a wrong precedence and influence on the children of a gambling addicted father.

Those most affected by gambling addiction are those who cannot control their emotions to remain positive, those whose environment is in direct contact with gambling addicts, and those who experience financial problems. In my perception, those I mentioned above are more susceptible to influence, because they receive encouragement and opportunities at the same time. However, this does not rule out the possibility of other people, or let's say those who want to try it just to release their curiosity. The ultimate outcome of gambling is destruction, so a healthy family and friendship environment makes us avoid the effects of gambling.

The impact caused by gambling addiction is like a one-way risk, which will follow clockwise. If a gambling addict has responsibilities towards the family, then automatically the husband/wife and children will feel the impact. The loss of time, money and ideas for planning a better future, I think is in the first place of the impacts caused by people who are addicted to gambling. Apart from that, work and friendships will also automatically be affected, we can give many examples of this.

Like men who act as the head of the family, obviously if they are suffering from addiction then the first impact that will feel it is their own family besides themselves, as you said that they have a big responsibility for their own family, especially in providing for their children and wife. I think it is clear that the first impact will be a loss of balance in terms of their finances, because the allocation of money for family needs will be disrupted as a result of the allocation of money on gambling activities that they do.

The first thing they will experience is probably financial problems and after that it will spread to other things such as the quarrels that you said, this is something that has a high probability of happening in the family if their father as the person who has full responsibility for supporting his family members is involved in gambling or becomes one of the addicted gamblers, And the bad thing is that they will most likely separate or divorce because they are not strong with the weak finances that certainly cannot meet the needs of the family, honestly not infrequently I see cases like this in the local news and so the point is gambling is your starting point to really experience a lot of problems if you do not have the right approach.

Yes, the impact on the family will be much greater if the person experiencing gambling addiction is someone who has a big responsibility towards their family. His family will have financial difficulties because people who have responsibilities cannot carry out their duties because they are addicted to gambling. His family will experience problem after problem, causing the family to fall apart. Children from those families also experience a heavier impact because they will experience mental disorders. After all, they will often see arguments between the adults in the family. Gambling addiction causes more problems for everyone in the family, so people who are addicted to gambling must be cured immediately before the impact spreads further.

and the problem is their financial health, because we know that a family can be destroyed because of money problems, I think many families divorce because they have problems with their finances, and this is also a fairly common problem. Also, if one of the family members is addicted to gambling, of course they will have problems with their finances that will spread to the family and make the family relationship problematic. And it's true what you said, it's possible that they will also have mental problems.

That's right, if they gamble maybe something like this won't happen, because if they gamble responsibly maybe they will get pleasure from the sensation of gambling even though in the end they also lose in gambling. That's right, they should be able to have limits in gambling. such as limits on the budget set for gambling and time limits for gambling, because many of them spend a long time gambling, and what is ridiculous is that I once read that the more often we gamble, the closer we are to winning, in my opinion that's just makes us closer to serious problems, there is no guarantee that the more often we gamble, the closer we will be to winning. that's just the nonsense of someone who is completely addicted to gambling. because you don't think about other things that are more meaningful.

Well, that's true, I think those who are addicted to gambling have high ambitions to be able to win big, so that makes them not see the losses they have experienced, because with the ambition they have, they cannot be aware of what has happened. that what happened was a big loss, not a big win. Also because of the fact that they can't accept defeat as you said, with them being like that, of course they will continue to gamble because they don't accept the fact that defeat has occurred.

Besides, I'm sure if they borrow money from family or friends, even at the bank, they won't be able to pay it back because all they think about is gambling, and that way they won't care about what's around them, I think the family might not stop those who are addicted to gambling, because there are families who are afraid of other family members because they already know their stubborn attitude, which might be possible if the family gave them advice or direction but the addict instead acts rudely or violently, because they don't accept it. advised. and indeed people who are addicted to gambling, I think they will become more stubborn individuals like you said. So it could be that those who are addicted to gambling will do things they shouldn't do. and I think the family must also have the courage to fight against one of their members who is addicted to gambling, so that it doesn't get worse in the future.

How?
It will not affect the gambler most because he's older and he or she might have a children or people that is not depending on him or her.
However, the gambler might not know what's he or she is doing will affect their children because all they might be putting in their mind is that they will win but when they don't and all of a sudden they become an addicted gambler, their children will now have to suffer.
Unless the gambler do not have any child or family, although, if they don't have any responsibility, they can gamble but they should not become addicted to it, just in case they becomes addicted, they are already alone, no body is depending on they and it they are working, that means they don't also depend on anyone.
Most times we don't have to think that a gambler is the person that is working the money, that he or she should bet and become addicted, no it is not okay that way, all gamblers should gamble safe because your safe gambling makes you a good gambler.

There are stories that an addicted gambler despite having a family, if the family members have been tired of giving that gambler reminders and taking care of them, it's not going to be their problem and business anymore if that gambler becomes more addicted and keeps doing his habit.
So, if there's some instances that gambler goes more terrible. The family members won't care to him anymore so, in short that he's destroying himself and that's why the more damage is going to be taken by him not just mentally, emotionally but also financially.
