how much can u help someone who seems that he cannot be saved?

i've a friend who's a compulsive gambler, and its really hurtful to see him turn from a good student with a bright future, waste away his youth and accumulating debts worth more than a fuckin kancil.

i want to help, but he's beyond the brink of being helped. every time he touches money he thinks of gambling to 'win' back a little more so that he can settle his debts quicker. but each time his luck goes from bad to worse, the losing streak never stops, and he's way out of his mind.

i've helped him last time when his case wasn't so serious, and he managed to clear his debts, but this time he's really fucked.

why the fuck would he fall victim to the irrecoverable sin.. is anyone gona ever help him? his parents and gf lost hope on him, he borrowed money from all of his friends and the friendship was shattered because of that. i may be his last friend willing to listen and try to help, but seriously, what can i do?

i'm lost.. between the line of continuing and pursuing my own happiness, and taking a breather in my journey to help others cross the paths of burden.
