what other situations should be taken as cue to stop gambling?
There are many, but here are 3 situations that I think will be taken as cue for the gambler to stop gambling.
1. If gambling causes severe financial hardship to the gambler. It means if the gambler can't pay their debts, or can't even buy important things like foods, or mortgage etc. Add also the fact that if the gambler can't pay his debt because of gambling, that's the time for him to stop.
2. If gambling causes broken relationships towards your family members. There are some gamblers who already experienced this one, and I guess it's safe to say that this will never be prevented anymore.
3. If gambling causes severe depression towards the gambler. If your experiencing stress, anxiety or even depression, I guess it's the time for the gambler to stop gambling already.
