Topic: Who does gambling addiction affect the most? - page 4. (Read 2493 times)

Straight to your question, the immediate family of the gambler are the ones that suffers most when a gambler becomes an addict because if it is someone that they are looking up to take responsibilities in the family, he will fail them multiple times because any money he has will all be spent on gambling without thinking about the family they left behind.

I stand to disagree with this. When it comes to gambling addiction and those who are addicted to gambling, it can't be an equal suffering from both the family of the gambler and that of his or her friends. 
 
Friends can easily just look at how things are going with you and how messed up your life turns out to be due to gambling, and they can just let you be and give John space and distance, which will reduce the stress and disgrace they could have gotten from that situation.
 
But you see, family, no matter what, will always be there for you, and you are also staying either in the same house with them or close to them, which they can't allow you to suffer too much, which will require them to check up on you to pay some of your bills and debt, which ordinarily they shouldn't be doing.

Stressing on this painful short story, the addict's society will also take a fair share of the problem. Neglecting the respect of kids isn't worth it as a parent. Children are the future of the world; they must be cared for and emotionally safeguarded. Gamblers who like the man in the story who insult the growth of kids, don't respect society anymore. As these kids would teach any other kid close to them whatever they've learned in that house. However, looking at the Op's story the guy whose father was addicted ended up not being a fan of gambling. Things could change and the kids are not gambling participants in the future, but they'll be allergic to anything, anybody related to gambling.

Hence causing more emotional trouble to them and their family. As the person will be so aggressive to any gambler close to him. Which isn't meant to be that way. Gamblers who are with kids should focus on staying relevant to their families, instead of being reckless with funds and at the same time affecting the peace and growth of the children. Pulling friends to come gambler close to kids is more like a felony. Because kids are not allowed to watch gamblers, that's why it's restricted to people only above the age of 18. Turning the house into a casino is abusing the kids. And it causes some emotional stress on the children.

What you say is very true because basically things when it comes to people who are addicts it is very difficult to help, because Basically what they can is money, and as for the family, that is very relative, things are only given to those families that they are united and that they are capable of helping their people without asking for anything in return, then these Types of things are what we should see, for anyone who enters into addiction there is no Reason to point them out as if they were someone bad, no , it is something that happens, just as someone can get sick, a person can suffer from addiction, but if the affected people have to take care of the possible effects that they can give to the other People who are by their side, that is something that We must all see, and be able to have the necessary understanding for all these cases, yes, the family can be of great Help, as well as friends of the Affected person.

It is true, the impact of gambling addiction is very heavy and even bad. It is clear that financially, if they become addicted, it means they have lost a lot of money just by gambling. and with them already losing a lot of money only then will it have an impact on their family relationships and perhaps on their health too. There is a possibility that they could borrow money to gamble again, but I think that would only add to their problems which could put too much pressure on them and maybe it would speed up their stress.

and if his family knew the perpetrator's aim was to borrow money to return to gambling, I don't think his family would give him a loan, because in my opinion it's like letting goats out in a wide pasture, he can do whatever he likes as he pleases. It makes sense that the main perpetrators will feel the impact of gambling because the gambling itself is done by themselves, not with encouragement from other people.

Reading the story you told, it is indeed very sad when someone who is addicted ends up turning their house into a place for gambling and not only that, they might take away the rights of their child that the child should have, but with an addiction like that, it is clear that it makes the atmosphere in the house was destroyed. and when you say his mother is dead, oh my god that's a difficult situation.

I don't know exactly how old the child is, but what is clear is that it has taken away his childhood. This is an example of the negative impact when gambling cannot be controlled. They will do everything they can to continue doing that. In fact, they no longer hesitate to gamble in front of their children, who may not be old enough to see gambling activities. You are right, apart from yourself being affected, your family will also be the second party who will be affected by gambling activities where there are no longer any limits to the game.

Yes, it doesnt really just that only affect your financial state but also in regarding into your health on which this is something that would be mostly be neglected into those people who are involved with
gambling or something that comes into a point that they are really that too stressed or something that have that anxiety on which this is something that would be coming out on the time that
symptoms becomes worsen. In every angle there would really be that kind of effects on which it could really be something that will really be having that kind of influence which isnt really
just that limited into some portions into someones life. Usually people would really be focusing that much on the moment that they are able to affect via finances and not
really that putting up some attention on some aspects.

Well, the ravages of any addiction are always very hard, not only for the person, the family and their friends, addiction leads to people losing a lot of money, some are left with nothing and all this causes major problems, especially problems. financial workers, because basic things always have to be given and achieved, they are things that should not cost dollars, so when things begin to fail is when the person goes into stress, and that is when they lend money, look for credits and make financial decisions that They turn out to be very bad and there is nothing worse than falling into debt and even worse, when you lend money and you do not have the ability to pay on time, those are things that bring the effects of addiction.

For this reason, I believe that addiction is first the fault of the addicted person, and it is the only person responsible, there is no need to look for more culprits, because neither the casino nor anyone else is, so it must be avoided at all costs.

If you ask about who is most affected by the impact of gambling addiction then obviously the answer is the addicted person himself because after all they are the ones who cause a lot of things that endanger themselves even though in fact sometimes they do not realize that their various actions endanger themselves in various aspects, especially in terms of finances, and not only that because the impact of addiction can also make a person forget or ignore other important things in his life, such as those who are married where a husband who is addicted to gambling will definitely not hesitate to put aside his life needs which are more important than anything else in order to fulfill his gambling activities.

Prioritizing the allocation for gambling over the needs of life is a scenario to trigger the breakdown of family relationships because after all, the name of the need can never be tolerated which usually makes their spouses not strong with the economic situation that is getting worse due to the allocation of gambling made by their spouses too excessive until in the end they choose to separate or divorce which means that the second impact of gambling has a high probability of being felt by the closest people around us such as family members or maybe friends.

It is true that there is a possibility that other people could be affected or affected by the main perpetrator, as you said with family and friends, of course I think that after themselves, their own family will be affected, because the addiction they experience will cause them financial difficulties. and there is a possibility that they can ask or borrow from their family and someone who is addicted can be stubborn so when their family doesn't give the money that the perpetrator wants then maybe the perpetrator can get angry, after all I also won't give money to those who are addicted to it. because in my opinion it's like giving fish to cats, it's the same as giving them pleasure, but gambling can bring big problems, not good.

I agree with you, we have to be able to lead them to better things, such as doing things that are healthier for our bodies. including exercise, as you said, it can really help reduce stress, also if they become addicted, I'm sure to some extent they will experience stress because the gambling they do often ends in defeat.

I think the same, because an addicted person not only has the condition, of course, the things he feels are only the person's, that anxiety about playing, but basically if the person has his family, friends, the people who are there in his environment will be affected, because I believe that no one likes to see someone bad, (although there are people who do like it) then that environment if it is affected, it is something that we will always see wanting to help, but in part when A person who is starting an addiction has time to do it, what happens is that you have to know how to get in touch with that type of people, perhaps persuade them to do another activity.

I insist a lot on sport, in addition, sport on the body has an anti-inflammatory and stress-relieving effect, but the most important for me is anti-inflammatory, because if we Start to see the inflammation in our body and it is the cause of many diseases , and if we exercise our body in sport our immune system will grow and will have a better way of defending itself against any disease.

When someone is addicted to gambling, they will definitely experience things that are detrimental to their own health or economy. As you say is true, it is possible that they will experience problems with their health such as an uneasy mind or perhaps a lack of rest time. This happens in my neighborhood, many young people are addicted to gambling and they play gambling at night because they say gambling at night is usually good and can bring in easy wins, whether that's true or not but it happens in my neighborhood.

I agree with you, indeed gambling can divert our focus, even when we are working or doing something and take the time to gamble we will most likely only focus on gambling. As much as possible, we must be able to determine what is important and what is not important, don't play gambling for too long because it is not good for our own health. And when you are addicted to gambling I think the person who is most affected is yourself, then the people closest to you.

It has a huge impact on the person itself as over the long run gambling addiction has created a huge percentage of people suffering from cancer because of the unnoticed high level of stress that it brings to the person while he does not notice it because the dopamine his brain emits during gambling make him to do so,despite that the level of stress impacts or favors the creation of bad cells who lead to very bad consequences.This should be enough of a reason for people to stop yet they don't.

Yeah, gambling addiction can have a detrimental effect on health and concentration. People suffering from this problem may forget about proper nutrition and sleep, which leads to metabolic disorders and weakened immunity. In addition, constantly spending time gambling can lead to vision and back problems due to improper posture. Equally important, gambling addiction distracts from studying or work, which in turn can negatively affect success in life. Therefore, it is important to find a balance between games and other aspects of life in order to maintain health and concentration.

That's true, of course gambling addiction will affect a large part of our finances, because if we become addicted we will always gamble and in reality gambling will only end in defeat which will drain our finances. If we already have our own family then our family can also be affected by our gambling addiction. because financial stability will only be spent mostly on gambling, not for personal or family needs. Therefore, we must have limits when gambling so as not to damage our finances which can have a big impact on everyone around us.

That's scary, friend, if you can't control your emotions because of gambling then bad things could happen, such as depositing money back after the gambling you do ends in defeat. I agree with you, gambling addiction can indeed have a bad impact on our mental health because it starts with thoughts that become messy and so on, there may be an excessive burden on the mind so that it torments our mental health.

well explained mate, I Iove how you applied Newton's 3rd law at this scenario. The most affected here are the immediate family, especially those who are with him in their house because it is possible that they will adopt the problem brought by a family member with gambling addictio it will be a shame for their relatives and it can be the source of a fight, but when it comes to the point where you will suffer from addiction, even if what you did is shameful, your family will still help you because they are the only ones you can lean on, especially your wife and children. They will not tolerate you for what you do, you will only see them get angry because of the perversions you have done but even so, they are still worried about you.

Sometimes gambling takes deadly shape especially when a gambler becomes addicted to gambling. The gambler you mentioned is an addicted gambler himself who has set up a gambling club in his home to further his gambling. In this regard she is harming himself as well as her child. They will be attracted to gambling from childhood. They will not have the environment they are used to growing up. Moreover, his mother is not alive who can guide them. Due to which it can be said without doubt that the gambler and his family members will suffer. I think this effect is the most with these types of addicts.

If I should be like Newton, i would say gorgeous every action there is an equal and opposite reaction, and this law is relatable in every area of life, so yes the equal reaction would be that the gambler families and immediate friends would suffer from this attitude cause if the Shame and irresponsibility that he is bringing to the house and maybe his children and wife would suffer cause he would surely gamble away his earnings that he should use to feed his children.

The opposite reaction would be on himself as the gambler that us unaware that his actions has an effect on him too, he would deeper fall into problems and would always be in lack due to poor management of his finance and probably get into debts and would always be on the run from time to time.

This is one example of the many gambling addicts spread throughout the world which have a direct impact on him and his family. As a father, of course you have to set the best example for your children, so it is very important for us as fathers not to gamble in front of our children or family. Gambling is not something that should be imitated, because it will have a big impact on children's growth and development.

Therefore, I always advise my friends that before gambling, you must be able to control your emotions so you don't become an irresponsible gambler. It's true, hearing advice is boring, but this needs to be repeated continuously because indirectly he will remember the advice when gambling so he knows the limits of his abilities. BTW, my neighbor also gambled and sold his house because he was too addicted to gambling.

Yes, the effects of gambling, and other addictions, not only affect the person doing it but also the people around them like their family, friends, and even their coworkers.

Basically once someone is addicted to something it is really difficult to stop and most people will maintain or continue in their spiral downwards.

It takes a lot of courage to step out of addiction and ask for help.
