In today's world, who hasn't played online games, regardless of age? To be honest, online games not only bring us enjoyment but also serve as a way to alleviate the monotony of our fast-paced lives. If our daily routine consists only of work and home, it can be quite dull.

Recently, I came across a video while scrolling through my phone. It was about a young dad taking care of his child while playing games. He placed the baby in a bucket, and the adorable child innocently blinked, occasionally letting out a burp, quiet and cute without causing any trouble.

Personally, I think he might be too immersed in it, excessively addicted to video games, affecting his normal work and life.

I also have a question for myself: How can I help someone close to me with a severe gambling addiction? We all know that gambling is primarily a psychological and emotional satisfaction. Therefore, what we should focus on is the mental shift during gambling. For those who are excessively addicted to gambling, helping them quit is not an easy task.

Guiding gamblers to cultivate a positive mindset, making them realize that life is a beautiful thing, is crucial. Many gamblers tend to neglect their lives and destinies when they lose confidence in life. It is challenging to help them develop regular and coordinated living habits, and it requires constant attention and assistance from friends and relatives.

When friends or relatives are addicted to gambling, how can we ignore it? We should help them recognize the dangers of gambling, make them aware of how people quit gambling, and encourage them to seek help.

There's no way around it; they have to want to quit themselves.
