Gambling addiction is not something that people relate to because it just seems like it is nothing harmful. Some think that it is only an activity to pass the time or have some kind of way to be entertained. They don't see it as a painful process in the long run. They don't see the wife that cries when her husband tells her that the bank account is wiped out because of his gambling ways. They don't see the children looking up to their mother and asking her for something to eat when the refrigerator is empty because there is no money in the home after daddy has spent all of it on a large bet at the race track. They don't see the person in gambling rehab programs that has lost all that they have – family, relationship, job and finances. They don't perceive the impact of this addiction and they will never understand until they walk in the shoes of the people that are most affected. This unique addiction will result in an increase in someone's debt. It will turn good people into robbers and will let them go to certain extremes to fulfill their habit. It is not a pleasant thing to have your loved one locked up in jail because they tried to rip off someone in order to get money to soothe their addiction. They may not have any remorse about their situation because they don't see any hurt in it. They view it as a business transaction and not a crime. The addict will not regret their actions until they get so wrapped up in it that they have lost the very people that love and care about them. The irony of it is that it will take these same people to help the addict to get into gambling addiction treatment centers to get the assistance that is required to quit this destructive behavior. The family support is so essential in order for the addict to experience full recovery. Without family support and encouragement, it will be much harder for the addict to feel motivated and confident that they can kick this habit. One of the good things about gambling addiction treatment facilities is that there are other addicts in treatment and the addict who has no family support can get support from the other residents that are going through the same thing. They can each support one and another while in the center and when they get out. There are group therapy sessions that foster this kind of support. Individual therapy is also important as the addict meets with therapist, there will be an opportunity to talk about all the insecurities and lack of self esteem that the addict must be feeling at the time. They will be able to voice their concern about not having family support. They are able to talk about their past without having someone judge them. They feel the respect given to them and wonder why they would still have that.
