That's obvious, because usually those who are addicted to gambling don't want to do anything in their gambling except continue gambling to realize their false hopes. Any control will be very difficult to do, because their mindset has been severely disturbed, their consciousness seems to have been closed by all hopes that always pursue opportunities even though on the other hand there is no guarantee whatsoever to get a victory there. Usually some other factors also in my opinion can greatly influence and can lead them to addiction, such as for example they have a character that is easily provoked and also easily emotional then surely when experiencing one defeat then they will not accept the results and will continue to pursue the defeat.
Of course, as you said instead of stopping but they are even crazier in gambling. people who are already in such a position in my opinion are very difficult to recover and need a lot of help from others such as for example some advice from important people in his life between wife / husband or his closest family such as parents.
Basically for those who are already addicted whatever results they get in the final session will not always be able to make them stop because if they lose they will continue to play and if they win they will apply their greed with higher assumptions and expectations. It's confusing and I hope they come to their senses soon.
Those who are addicted to gambling will find it difficult to control themselves because their minds will always think about gambling so they will not easily be able to give up gambling. Even when they don't gamble, they may still think about gambling and it is at a painful level because they can no longer think clearly that they have a serious gambling addiction. He must immediately get treatment either from his family members or from professionals so that he can cure his gambling addiction.
And the core problem experienced by gambling addicts is in terms of their disturbed minds, like humans in general where the mind will move our bodies to move, I mean the mindset that will be the first driver for us to do everything in our lives, therefore when their mindset always thinks of gambling then some advice that comes in to prevent it they will not hear and they will only focus on the encouragement of their minds that they always think is true, even though it is not at all. It is very difficult to stop gambling if in fact their mindset is completely disturbed, gambling addiction can come without us realizing it and usually that's what they experience, they don't realize that they are already addicted so far. Some help from the closest person might help, but I wouldn't be too hopeful that it will work, and certainly in my opinion they will be able to stop when they have experienced a very significant downturn in gambling such as for example running out of all ways to gamble, in the sense that all the assets they have are gone, and from a distance the casino will smile to see it haha.
It is very difficult because they cannot receive advice from important people in their lives so this still requires a different approach from the one they have used. But if family members can see that there is an opportunity for the gambling addict to change, they should still try because maybe it will be successful in making the gambling addict aware so that the healing process can go well.
If a gambling addict is willing to open himself up to people who want to help him, the healing process may be easier because of the desire to cure himself of his gambling addiction. Those who help can also find a more viable way for the gambling addict and can start the process immediately. And even though it takes time, it will not prevent gambling addicts from being able to heal themselves.
If indeed some advice and help from his family can not help at all then honestly I do not know what else to do, because it is very difficult and quite confusing. But well while the family is still excited then keep trying because the process will never betray the results, hopefully with all the experiments they have done they can improve the situation of the person who has been addicted, although it is quite small chances but that does not mean it is impossible.
That's right, I hope they can be more open to the people around them in the case of their addiction, because obviously with them being open then some of the closest people will help them according to what they need there, and yes definitely the healing process will be faster and easier. But it will really come back to the addicted person, if they really want to stop then they will definitely be more open, different from people who are just talking nonsense, talking but their little hearts actually refuse to stop, there are those who turn out to be like that, they talk about wanting to stop because they are in a defeat phase, not that they really want to stop.
