Topic: Who does gambling addiction affect the most? - page 13. (Read 2507 times)

People used to feel pity for one person's loss, but the same person will be backmouthing bad things about the family and the gambler. This is common, and these people naturally have these habits. A gambler who is already at a loss, and if he comes to know about people talking badly about his family because of his activities, it will surely make him more painful. Some find it really hard to come out of such a situation. Initially, the gambler will be affected mentally and financially. The impact slowly transforms into a family. Before this happens, if the gambler realizes himself and becomes responsible, it is good.

When it comes to family problems then we do know that it would be always best that it should really be that kept hidden or not obvious specially into the community on which we know that people around is really that easy to judge on what are the things that you are current experience on which your family would really be getting those discriminations and bad comments towards onto the situation
on which once you do be able to hear it off then i would really be resulting into have that shameful thing that would be sticking out into your family's view and perception.
This is why it would be best that problems should really be kept on someones knowledge and point of view. It is really just that shameful if this thing is been shared up.

That's true. it's difficult to witness a family member facing such challenges. A family member dealing with a gambling addiction is something that becomes hard to conceal. Eventually, the person exhibits this behavior to those around them, and it becomes noticeable. If the habit intensifies, the community might struggle to accept it, leading to discrimination against the family.

People tend to generalize, thinking all family members share the same traits. As they say, "a fruit does not fall far from the tree," From this you will notice that if an important member of a family gets addict it will affect his family members also negatively.

The inability to accept the risk of losing due to gambling that is not based on the right understanding, this is the mindset that exists in every gambler in general, which ultimately as you say they find it difficult to be able to limit their gambling because they have a grudge against gambling for the defeat that dominates so of course if they run out of money to gamble again then what is more likely is that they will borrow from one of the loan services or relatives or friends, And even worse is that as you said it is not uncommon for gamblers who are desperate to commit acts out of control such as robbing in order to finance their gambling activities and obviously this is very detrimental to themselves if they are unlucky and caught by the authorities, many are harmed in addition to the community who are victims of theft / robbery.

Of course this bad behavior will really embarrass their own family in the eyes of the community, especially the surrounding neighbors, on the other hand there are still quite a lot of gamblers who are still fine even though they are involved in gambling which is a negative activity because of the high level of risk, and the point is that anyone who gambles based on the right understanding along with good self-control then you will remain fine.

The mental trauma it leaves on the gambler is the main trouble. Two problems exist in the life of an addicted person, prior troubles, the one he felt while he was addicted and the post trouble, that he would undergo while he's been accredited a sound person. He would live forever with whatever mistake he made during his healing process. However, the family can decide to help him all way to the end. But it could be stressful for some other person, since they've got their troubles to look into and solve, too. No family member would be pained like the addict when they remember the past event on the addict's behavior. The family member could forget about it immediately, but the addict would end up thinking of it for a long time. And finds it very difficult to divorce the past.

Yeah, I guess some gamblers can sidestep issues if they're self-aware.  But plenty dive headfirst into addiction, ruining connections.  No question - compulsive gambling ravages families.  Still, restraint helps and  don't get so absorbed that you neglect relatives.  Recognizing risks prevents problems.

I would say both. A family man that becomes addicted to gambling will make life for himself and his immediate family difficult because those who are dependent on him that he would provide will definitely suffer the consequences as well if the person is spending everything on his gambling activities. So, a person who gambles while having a family ruins himself, his life, and the lives of those who are closely related to him or dependent on him for food, shelter, and other basic needs of life.

That is why, I think there can't be a comparison whether who will be affected the most by the addiction because where there are two people standing on different corners of a wood, there is no point on arguing who would die first if one of them falls because eventually, both will drown and die because one cannot stand alone if the other falls.

I agree with you on excessive gambling's negative impacts. Its a painful reminder that gamblers, typically blamed for their demise, suffer the most. They often start addiction with a single, seemingly harmless wager, drawn into the unknown by the thrill of the win. However, as they slide further, their financial and mental health suffer. Reality is sobering.

Pause and examine another perspective. Gambling itself isn't bad. It can be fun and social when done responsibly. Lack of control, unable to draw the line, makes it a vice. I believe the solution is to promote a culture of responsible gambling, where limits are defined and gamblers know when to quit.

It is true that addiction affects many people, children can also be the most affected, because if they see one of their parents in a bad way, they will manifest it in some way, if they are in schools their performance may go down, they will not do the same. things well, they will always have things to complain about, they will express that they are wrong because they will be incapable of doing things well, they will have bad behavior, because all the tension goes only to the fact that they can do things by getting attention, that is difficult, and if the father or mother is very committed to the addiction, they will spend the money that is for them, and that is very serious.

A father or mother who has a problem like this must immediately get out of the problem and for his family, and it is very easy for him to lose it if he does not Start doing things right , that is , leave the addition undone, because There is nothing to do there, just get out of the addiction for the love of your family, because a family is not something that can be achieved from today to Tomorrow , no.

For someone who is addicted to gambling, first of all they themselves feel at a loss because they have lost all their savings just to gamble and after they feel frustrated by their addiction and find it difficult to stop, they will be determined to do anything to continue gambling, either robbing or stealing money and if society If you feel uneasy about the addict's behavior, his family will take part in overcoming the gambler's problem because he is a family member and if it is like this, everyone will be troubled and they will be forced to do something so that the addict's behavior will not disturb the local community. We certainly don't want to see our siblings or members of our family experiencing addiction problems, right? because addiction is detrimental to anyone, both the gambler himself and his family.

When an addicted gambler loses everything in gambling, it ultimately affects his family. If there is an addicted member in a family, the family can neither remove nor keep him. Moreover, if the gambler stops gambling after exhausting his money, it is possible to bring him back but he starts borrowing from others. At one point he tried to take money by liable to other family members. The family doesn't know but if that family has to strain to pay the gambling money then of course it affects not only the gambler but also the family. The gambler does the most harm to himself, but the impact of his loss certainly affects a large extent to his family.

In my opinion, it is the gambler himself, because those who do the gambling are the ones who will primarily experience bad things, before other people, in my opinion the main perpetrator comes first. if they gamble excessively which makes them addicted, they will experience bad problems related to their addiction, such as major financial problems, and other things may happen to their behavior and their own thoughts. Many of those who are addicted to gambling experience problems with their finances and themselves.

and after that, when they experience problems with their finances, it will only spread to their family, because with unstable finances, the main perpetrator, sooner or later, they can have an impact on the family, such as borrowing money or asking for money, and I think their family will object. giving money in the form of a loan even if they know that the money will be used for gambling. and if it's like this, it could be that the main perpetrator commits acts of violence because there has been a change in attitude to become a more stubborn person, because people who are addicted to gambling will do anything if they have run out of money for their gambling capital.

The addiction affects the gambler more because they are the ones who are addicted. If he wants to stop gambling, it is a really long road for him. But for his immediate family, they aren’t gamblers, they have their own lives, so even if they suffer some effect if the gambler, they still have a choice and chance to work on their own life. Yes, the kids may copy the bad habits but it depends on certain factors. Some women file divorce once the man gambles in a way that can endanger the children to start gambling. Asides that, the gambler suffers it the most.

Addiction has no respect for anyone, no matter how high the respect that humans have for you, addiction can still consume you, even if you are the president of the country or the number on billionaire of the whole world.

Gambling addiction has no friend, it knows no family, it's something that happens when the opportunity is available, it strikes hard on anyone who either is greedy or someone who is trying to use gambling as their source of income, do not solve your income problem with gambling.

Many people think that, since some people are getting lucky, winning jackpot, they can also the be next winner, this consume their thoughts and they focus on gambling for years, what I haven't seen is people who make it in gambling than those who lose money in gambling, why is that? This doesn't make casinos as fraudsters, the whole games are all based on luck.

it's definitely something you don't want to sleep on, gambling is very risky, that's why you have to get something going on for you to be a gambler and do not expect to become rich with gambling.

Gambler should learn to gamble without affecting their family. A gambling addict as you have said may not care about his/her home. Imagine the case of someone trying to sell his car to gamble. This car is for him and his family and if he later do that and lose the bet. It will definitely affect both him and his family.

Yes, but it's still important for people to be aware of the possible risks linked with gambling, even if they consider themselves to be mature enough. Even though you may be mature for your age, if you make a poor decision and are unsure of it, your money and effort will still be wasted. Additionally, if a gambler cannot exercise responsible decision-making, it may result in unfavorable outcomes like debt, addiction, and other problems.

Others may provide you with something that brings you joy, such as winnings from gambling, but when it comes to the fact that they are dealing with numerous issues as a result of their delusion, well, if they are unable to handle the difficulties they are facing, they may pass them on to others. For example, some people have committed suicide without considering the consequences for their family, or they may have considered doing something bad for their family, such as selling their children or engaging in other regrettable actions.

The addiction affect the gambler the most because he or she happens to suffer so much emotionally and other wise and some of them end up damage such that they don't get to recover in a life time, they suffer from some trauma caused by the addiction and this is not something they get rid off in a day, sometimes it stays with they through a Life Time

The family and others Also suffer from the effects of the gambling addiction on the gamblers but then nota s much as this gamblers do suffers.

Gambling addection affected the adddectars family members becose a addected person play gamble when he is in profit all ok but when in loss. That affect his family. On the other side gambling addection make distance between family members. Addecters don't give time to the family members. If they in loss pressure their family for money. That's the reason it effect mostly family members.

People who doesn't feel enough in their life, can't be specified which one is since kids, teenager, adult, and old person can have such mind.

Kids and teenager who're want to get rich as soon as possible because of social medias.

Adult who's mad with his routine and boring job, so he's looking for another way to make money.

Old person who has a lot free time, so he gamble in order to kill his boredom.

While those that are suffering an addiction are the ones that lose the most, it would seem to me they are not the most affected, because even if for just a little while they are enjoying themselves greatly when participating in their addiction, while their family members and their friends are suffering greatly because they are unable to convince this person to stop while they obtain nothing in return, so they seem to be the ones that are suffering the most.
