Topic: Addiction is 100% your choice: - page 2. (Read 3050 times)

Some people don't even understand this before going into gambling that is why they normally have problems like this in gambling. One thing I understand about gambling is that the moment one start playing and have the intention of generating steady income from it, you will surely lose much money and it is very difficult to let go of the money that have been lose and the next thing that comes in is just to try to recover the money and this is another strategy of losing more money.

If you really want enjoy gambling is never to take it serious as what can give steady income, just play for fun and it can prevent one from losing so much to win more and to recover from gambling lose. Playing for fun also keeps the mind at rest even if their is lose of money you don't need to panic because it is money that one can afford.

If people who have limits in gambling will definitely not gamble in the office because they understand the risks if they are caught as a gambling addict, currently many companies are socializing about the bad effects of gambling on mental and economic conditions in the future and hope that in the companies they work for, there will be no employees who have financial problems due to gambling.

I totally agree with you. A tendency to gamble at work can create a negative outlook for you and at one point lose your job. You will definitely have your rivals at work and they will never wish you well and will always catch your mistakes and it may reach the ears of the superiors. I think you should choose a specific time to gamble like after office hours and before going home or whatever time you find convenient. I devote time to my family and office management and gambling for leisure. It all depends on your own desire but you should be disciplined in every case so as not to get addicted to gambling.

You must keep your alternative source of income fixed and take care of your job because without money you are very much immobile at present.

Each of us learns from our experiences. Someone is enough to lose in gambling a few times to understand how this area of entertainment works, and someone with his stubbornness is ready to spend a lot of money to prove to himself that one day he will be able to beat the casino. I after a few big losses changed my view of gambling and forced myself to use the deposit limit. Now I can safely say that if I had not changed my views on gambling everything could have been much worse. Only we decide how much money we are willing to lose, how often we gamble and where it will lead.

You have said it right. Most gamblers believe that by gambling they could make their lives easy and rich. Unfortunately, it never works that way; it always moves on the opposite side. While fooling themselves into such assumptions, the more they attach to it until losing control of their emotions. It is sad to say, but more gamblers had come to sad ends and regrets before realizing the truth. Many had suffered big losses before finding out that they had already fallen into addiction.

However, this is our personal choice, and we can choose to gamble just for fun. But most of the time it went wrong because of our inappropriate approaches. That is why we should widen our gambling understanding and accept reality that gambling is not the thing to rely on when it talks about money. 

Gambling should be consider as entertainment, not an income source. But sometimes, people become like gambling so much, stake on bets, roollete, slot machines blackjack or other kind of games gives people entertainment and that's why Mind want to continuesly playing these games, feel to retry again for win even they realize that they are losing their money in it. And the other reason of addiction is money! When people lost money in gambling then mind keep telling them to Restart and recovery and with this process they keep betting and at the end of the day, they loss more. I know some of addicted person, who don't wanna leave gambling cause they believe with gambling, someday they will hit the jackpot lol. Actually its upto you what you wanna do. If i keep making loss in gambling, don't no need to try it for generate money or if i keep making loss in gambling due to recover my lost money, then no need to try recovery. Just play for fun, if it make you in toruble like addicted then stopped. But sad reality is, not all of people are strong enough to control their emotions and mentality

Yeah right, they are just using that social channels to look good but in reality they are also suffering from something that they just wanted make excuses, personally, I think there's always a something that really affects people's decision making, it's on their own take and understanding of the situation and how they face the truth when it's really hitting them, addiction is your own take as you continue to push yourself inside and not to do something to stop that kind of act inside you.

gambling during work breaks in my opinion should not be done because in any case gambling that is done can affect thinking and there is a possibility that it can affect our focus on work which can reduce our performance which makes work unfocused. when there is time to work and have free time, it is better to use it for other things such as drinking coffee while chatting with coworkers or while reading the news, it seems more useful to do during work breaks.

besides that if we gamble at work or in the work environment even during work breaks of course there are people who don't like gambling and it is possible that if that person sees us gambling in the work environment it can be a problem, so it is better to prevent it because prevention is better than cure. it could even be that we will be fired from the company if we do gamble in the work environment because remembering gambling can make us lose focus, meaning that most likely our focus will only be on gambling and this can be long-term.

This is a problem for the majority of the people of today, just take a look at social media and the majority of the posts you will find are about people living their life to the fullest and enjoying it as if there is no tomorrow.

However if you were to find that person on the street and they actually told you the truth, you will soon find out they are selling a fantasy online, and instead a great deal of them are miserable and they are using social media to deal with their difficult lives.

It's the same story that we hear from the other gamblers who have got the chance to win and yet, they have revoked their winnings through not withdrawing their profits.

And this likes a natural thing for most gamblers until they learn the lesson the harder way. When money is already there, they need to step up and use it to the other deeds that they can.

That's exactly it is.

If it's with their winnings, they know how to boast it publicly but rarely show their losses. I agree that balancing our emotions is a good thing with wins and losses.

That's how we should approach ourselves and the way we gamble. Because an addicted gambler will not admit it to himself if the other people sees the sign in him and can't balance their emotions together with the losses.

I think every gambler is aware of that, that the house always wins and the chance that we're able to win is not a lot compared to them. Gambling is a business and we have at least give ourselves the favor if we win.

But our mind changes upon winning and we think that we're all going to win it all day long but no. So, take advantage of each moment, control is a must when we gamble and don't set expectations too high.

The struggle with addicted gamblers is that they hardly open up in times of trouble. But easily show the world how they've won a game. Players should balance their energy. They are not supposed to hide the bad feelings and promote happy moments. It'll make people around them believe that all is moving right in the player's life.

Although most people are not fans of bad news, a closed mouth remains a closed destiny. Assuming people living with gambling addiction shared their troubles, they wouldn't suffer alone. Help is everywhere, and nothing significantly wrong would happen to the player.

On the moment that we do play gambling then this is the primary thing that that we should really be putting up into our minds or with those realizations is that house do really always win at the end or simply it is really that heavily relies on luck on which there's no way that you could really be that making yourself having that kind of advantage on which we know that this one would really be pushing up for you to play even more and this is something which it isnt really that recommended. Play as normal or casual on which there's no way that you could really be able to make yourself having unfortunate condition just because of too much gambling. It all matters on how you would really be that making  yourself that responsible or be careful on the actions taking. If you do find out that you are already that losing that much money then this is the best time for you to quit up or having some break specially if you are really that becoming having that no control towards your emotions. You should really be careful on every steps you are making.

Indeed, there's some who can win if that person will wisely use his luck when the time that allow him to win, it's true that most of the time it's the casino that win, the very reason with it is the gambler itself unable to take that chance, instead of quitting and enjoying the profits they choose to continue and aim for more.

That's the start where the desire increase, instead of taking time to enjoy when you already experienced that enjoyment it will lead you to choose to keep trying and betting for more, and the time you recognize addiction inside you, is the time that you can't resist anymore.

I think awareness can really be the key to salvation, you need to realize that you are nothing more than a regular gambler who comes with just money to bet without having any advantage and without having any special relationship with the casino where you bet, meaning no one cares and no one will ever help you other than luck, and of course you are also certainly a mandatory thing for a gambler to know how luck works.

Because with awareness and admitting that you are nothing more than a regular gambler who relies on luck and also by knowing how luck works, I think such fantasies will never be in your head. On the other hand, of course we also have to understand the fact that the one who actually has the advantage in the long term is the casino as you said, you are nothing more than a small gambler who will only win occasionally, while the casino will be the party that will always excel, understand that gambling is a business for the casino, and we can see that over time more and more new casinos are popping up, meaning that this business is really profitable for them, and also meaning that all the fantasies in your head are nothing more than just fantasies.

Addicted people to gambling can return to society when they can cure their gambling addiction so they will not gives a bad effect to other people in that society. But that will depends on how that addicted people to gambling solve their problem and asks for helps from other people in their circle. Getting gambling addiction is really a choice for those who like to playing gambling but mostly, when people often playing gambling, they must realizes that gambling can gives a bad effect to them.

That's why when we want to playing gambling, we must consider about the risks of gambling which is losing the money and becomes addicted to gambling so we can avoids that by always use limitation. We have our choice not to becomes addicted to gambling so we must follow our rules and take care of ourselves. If we can have many things to prevents the problem from gambling, we will not gets addicted to gambling and we can enjoy playing gambling as part of the entertainment.

Everything needs to be balance so we can live our life better without any problem. If we like to playing gambling, we must understand what we need to do to avoids the gambling addiction especially if we already see what happens to addicted people to gambling. Gambling is just part of the entertainment and if we already know that, we don't have to use gambling too long and with too much money. That will just makes us forget that gambling is just for fun and we could thinks that gambling is a way to make money.

That will not be good for us if we try to make money from gambling because we can lose our money even we lose much money like other people who tried. If we can choice that we must avoids becoming gambling addiction, we will try to use many things to helps us to prevents addicted to gambling. We will not try so hard to playing gambling and always use limitation.

We all need to be prepared to hear the consequences of our decisions especially when it wrong. Gambling is meant to be fun and not to be something we ought to be doing everyday. There are gamblers that only bets few times in a way or months and they are making money from gambling because they are always relaxed when it's time for them to gamble and try luck making extra dollars for themselves. Many gambling addiction stories I have heard about was due to the cause of the victim betting everyday so that can make more money from gambling which is not supposed to be so especially when we want to earn more from gambling.

Yes, the casino wins at most times.

But there will be very few that would win in the casino, us the gamblers. And it varies on how we're going to keep those wins to ourselves.

Even it is true that it's not for most to win the games as we gamble, there will some that can happily share their winning moments and the rest will depend on how they'd take the positive or negative results that they've got.

Their intention for that action is to to win and they don't know that the level they are going into they will no longer care about winning or losing at some point because the moment they place a bet the next thing will be for them to keep betting even when it does not favour they they always lose total control of them self, we know continuing doing the same thing you will just get addicted. And one thing they fail to understand is the fact that they think gambling everyday is the way out and gambling is boyound that. The truth is that you don't need to gamble everyday to make money from gambling everyday the moment you take gambling to serious then you will definitely cross the line.

Gambling can not be an hobby and this is excuse they give that they enjoy gambling that is why they do it everyday and they decide to make their self addicts because they should know exactly the implications of addictions and since it's 18+ they should know the difference between what is important, because you can not seat in your house and gamble every day waiting for luck when you suppose to get a job then gamble once in a while. And addicts don't care about the result. All they want is their imaginary money.

Whether a person is opportuned to have a job that gives him the chance of gambling even when he's working, I'm totally against the idea of gambling at work irrespective of type of the job. Gambling in my own opinion should be only be done when a gambler is totally free from any other engagement as to avoid mental distractions that comes with doing too many activities at the same time. Also gambling at work is very likely to affect a worker's productivity since it is a mental work. Personally, I refer anyone who gambles at work as an addicted gambler because he allowed his gambling engagement happen at the place of work.

Unfortunately, there will be no way that everybody will win in gambling. It's all the fantasies that players need to forget and focus on reality. The game gets safe for a player who stakes money on gambling and stops after multiple losses. Who wins the most in gambling except the casino? The game isn't for anybody to win the most; if players win consistently, all casinos could go bankrupt.
