That will never happen. If a person decided to stop gambling because he realized that he already has a gambling addiction and it is progressing he will stay away from gambling and not play even with fake money because such a game is not able to resist addiction and most likely even aggravates the already deplorable situation.
I know a guy who lost a lot of money because of his gambling addiction and now he completely ignores it without even playing cards with his friends.
Those which have never been addicted to anything may feel that such a posture is too extreme but it is precisely what it must be done, the desire to go back to their old ways is too strong for those which were addicted to something, and as such anything that resembles the activity may be more than enough to lead them to that path again, so it makes sense that the person that you know does everything he can to avoid putting himself in a position in which he could fall victim of his addiction again.
No doubt, that's the reality inside you. Once you came from that kind of addiction, the eagerness once being triggered again will flow. It's something that, unexplainable but the lust will continue to flow on you. It's better to stay away completely and never to think of any alternative that is still associated with your addictions.
It is a have to keep yourself busy doing other things instead of trying to play, even using a play money.
The system inside you will lead you to play back using real money. It's unavoidable.
Yes, always in any addiction when it is taken for granted that it has been overcome is when you should be most careful not to fall again because the moment you fall it will be something much stronger and with everything, because the person will not only have anxiety accumulated, but he will also have a lot of accumulated desire and will want to do everything once he is there, this is something that must be taken care of, that is why a person with an addiction problem that he considers overcome is when he should concentrate the most on do other activities so that at any time or free time you don't fall back into temptation, that's something very difficult to manage but not impossible, I think it's all a matter of wanting.
I agree, as long as a compulsive gambler has access to gambling, the addiction will keep on going.
.There is no alternative for money ...these alternative for money will not work
I would highly not recommend to use different apps for the money game - rather save your time and do something productive
The alternatives for an addicted player always get them, I think that the best option for a player who is falling into addiction or who is already addicted is to do other things that consume a lot of time and tire him, one option is that he can play sports, constantly changing the environment, doing activities that require time and not giving him much time to play, of course quitting completely is not healthy either, because when he has a relapse the consequences will be worse, he is like alcoholics, You have to leave it little by little, play little, if you used to play two hours before, at least lower it to 1 hour, and the other week half an hour and so on.
