looking for a healthier activity can divert to the desire to gamble, if overall it still doesn't work out, a gambler needs to realize that he must get professional help and the last option to do is seek treatment and move to a new environment that is sterile from gambling.

I agree with you, in this modern era, everyone uses smart phones and gamblers participate in gambling through smartphones. So I don't think the space or environment change will bring much success on this issue. But I believe that only if one can concentrate on the job and can learn the bad effects of gambling and deserve it then it should be possible to prevent gambling addiction.

It depends.

Some places will keep your mind busy in other things, so you won't have time to spend in your phone and therefore gambling.

It also depends on the person as well of course.

In this case, it is clear that when he says the gambler wants to move, he certainly knows where he will move because it is impossible when he says he wants to move to a new environment but still has not found his place.
As for this, it is a good point if in the new environment there are no gamblers there, but we also when in a new environment cannot force other people not to gamble if there are still gamblers instead.
After things like this it depends on the intention of the addict from the beginning whether it was the right intention to stop or not while still tempted.

It would be better if he didn't say where his new place of residence was to avoid invitations from his former friends to return to gambling.
It is important so that his intention to truly change can be achieved and he can solve his gambling addiction problem.
But even if he didn't say where he lived, he also had to be careful because he didn't know how he was going to live in his new place.
He should really be able to stop his gambling habit because his new place of residence could provide an opportunity to change.

This will be better, so that, as I said in a few previous post, indeed changing places must also pay attention to the people around so that we are more sure that we will stop because sometimes distraction when we want to stop is difficult.
On the other hand, we also have to have a strong determination because indeed stopping is only said to want to stop but continues to do things that are quite difficult to accept if you want to stop, for example, still opening several gambling sites or indeed still hanging out with people who gamble. This will not have a very good impact on stopping gambling.

I think that a change of environment where people who are of a gambling nature or who represent gambling are not present is a respite for an addicted person, since it does not make them remember every moment, but we must bear in mind that the mind is another thing, you can be doing many things and activities, but obviously there will always be the fact that there will be the endless desire to play, it is for this reason that an addicted person cannot get rid of gambling once and for all, it would be something illogical and haha dangerous, the addicted person must continue playing but with increasingly smaller time intervals, until his cravings are replaced, which is very difficult.

Not sure about that, if you will allow addicted gambler to keep playing the desire will continue to increase, the chance of moving away is slim but changing the environment with nothing to see about gambling, that will allow to free up the mindset and if he focus to another activities where he can also enjoy.

the gambling inside him will be replaced and the chance that it will totally removed is very possible, it's something like pollutions, if there's nothing that will produce it the presence will also be removed.

Focus on positive activities and really don't touch anything about gambling. When the environment is supportive, you only need to live it consistently so you will be free from gambling addiction. If the gambler continues to play and is still in contact with gambling it will not solve the problem despite trying to remind him.
the identity of a gambler will change in the finger of the real self that can live without gambling with the support of the surrounding environment.

You will agree with me that society and the environment can have a great influence on the lifestyle of every individual, you often can find yourself doing, or being involved in that activity that almost everyone is involved with in that your locale as a result of influence. Now considering someone who is a gambling addict, is there any possibility of him/her becoming better if they are relocated to another environment or society where people around are not involved in gambling?

Can someone still develop the habit of gambling and become an addict even though no one around gambles?

Having people around that are not exposed to gambling will always be helpful for someone who is a gambling addict. However, that won't guarantee that he'll stop gambling anymore. Where there's a will, there's a way. So expect that he'll still be looking for some nearby casinos or just play online casinos without leaving the house. Also, in cases that an individual still develop his gambling habit even without influencers around, that only seldom to happen but still possible. Usually, gamblers develop their interest if they are also seeing gamblers in their own environment or society.

its easy said that done mate , because mentality cannot function that better when your surrounding is still on process of gamblers and gambling places, this will be as harder than a rock to break .

this is why changing place will do first before the mentality follows.

because if it is easy to change the mentality then why there are still tons of gamblers that struggles to fight addictions and the desire to gamble.

Exactly, your mentality functions only to stop gambling individually but you should avoid activities in the gambling environment and gambling establishments, you should mingle with other people who are not addicted to gambling, maybe start a new activity for a better life. We cannot change the gambling addiction environment but we can change ourselves.

It is hoped that by moving to a new place will be able to reduce his activities in gambling because the situation is different from before. Even if he wanted to gamble, he had to go to the casino he used to gamble which was not easy for him to go there. And if he can mingle with other people who have different activities with him, maybe he will have hope to change his activities and can help him to change his life for the better. This of course requires seriousness to change from within so that everything will run without any coercion from others.

If you change environment to stop the gambling addiction it is necessary to find a safe place where you can totally stop the habit.

if a gambling addict simply moves to another area, I don't think it will help much in his recovery from addiction.
I think the process of moving to a new place is the last option, there are steps that must be taken for those who are addicted to gambling.

gambling addiction in the end can really destroy someone's life, admitting being honest with yourself is the most important part, introspection of how addicts' lives have changed completely, and this is a very important part to realize
(find the real reason someone gambles) the answer will be relatively many, but if to get a short way to get money or make an income this is the source of the problem.

looking for a healthier activity can divert to the desire to gamble, if overall it still doesn't work out, a gambler needs to realize that he must get professional help and the last option to do is seek treatment and move to a new environment that is sterile from gambling.

Can someone still develop the habit of gambling and become an addict even though no one around gambles?

The answer is yes. Becoming an addicted gambler doesn't mean you are around an environment where everyone around you gambles, you can be alone and still become an addicted gambler when you have developed the mindset of trying some games out that you possibly watched in a movie or played a demo with your phone and seeing that you played well, you could decide to start the real gambling and before you would realize you have been addicted to it and you can not stop it easily.

Another thing that can make someone become addicted to gambling when no one around the person gambles is the information someone gets on social media, there are so much information about people who made millions through the gambling this has made some of their followers addicted to gambling while trying to make the same money with them.

Absolutely right.

In the same way that people can become alcoholics by themselves at home, people these days can become a gambler at home. You only need a phone these days to gamble all your money away.

Back in the day you needed to go to a place and gamble, but not anymore.

I would argue that it's even easier to become a gambler than an alcoholic, because at least with alcohol you need to go to the shops or bars, and some places close down at some times, whereas gambling is open 24/7 from wherever you are.

With these people already too much addicted in gambling and would like to stop one of the most first thing is to control themselves because even though the people in their environment would like to stop them if in their inner side they dont want it is nothing happen, by that if they think they want to let go themselves it is good to come with the people they think it will helps a lot fo them to make an improvements in life and change it like doing some activities which is productive and not just only have fun in gambling casino.

But in this case there are also other factors that must be considered because when the environment changes but the factor of the closest person is still doing it, it will be the same.
When someone wants to stop their addiction to gambling, apart from the environment, they must also forget about people who can make them return to gambling because it will seem futile if they move to a new environment but still hang out with people who are still gambling.

In this case, awareness is needed from the people when he is in a new environment so that he will not return to his former place and return to the casino.
It is indeed difficult for people to change the habits they have been doing for some time and it takes courage to make one step change.
If he can do it, everything must be worth what he does because then, he can leave his habit of gambling and he can also make a new habit that has nothing to do with gambling.
Forgetting gambling is hard and one must have a strong desire to change it.

Environment can affect many things in the lifestyle of someone. It can affect the way the person reasons, it can affect the way the person behaves and also affect the type of business someone does.
If a drug addict goes to a Sane environment where there is no drug to buy, he will suffer for sometime and gradually adapt to the new environment. Same thing can be said of gambling. But with online gambling and a forum like this, a gambling addict will not change since he could always come online.

Point taken. Environmental changes could really make someone ponder and reflect on some things. Perhaps it could also alleviate the urge in some people to do the usual things they do because of the situation. An entirely new environment means they have limited option and ways to do their hobby. Hence, they are forced to adapt from the sudden transition of their surroundings.

However, addressing the issue just on the tip of it will not solve it totally. Gambling addiction is a serious case. It shouldn't be taken lightly and it should be addressed from the roots to treat and completely heal it. It's not an overnight process. If we're just going to change environment, eventually, a person addicted in gambling will find his way to go back in gambling.

You are right, I think it is largely related to the age of the gambler as well. If it's a gambler who barely provides anything for him, such that the gambler is somehow dependent, the urge could reduce once taken out of the environment. But this cannot be said to someone who provides for himself and has money to do whatever. With money in hands, one can easily make new friends in a new environment, one can easily find new ways to do things.

Then I agree with you, addiction isn't treated on a fly or based on assumptions, a very thyrapic, counseling and other works need to come to play.

If a gambler do end up on a place where he cant possibly seen any gambling places for him to hang on then he would really be having that changed of impressions but if his addiction is on that severe state then he might really be still ending up on playing with online casinos

Gamblers will find a way to gamble. There is a lot of convenient and easy way nowadays to do gambling. For that person that is being sent to an environment where no gambling stuff will be seen, it should also be accompanied by other prevention methods such as doing what rehabilitation centers do to help that gambler forget about gambling. They should refer at experts at that field to give them preferences on what to do with this type of people.

And even then finding an environment in which it is impossible to gamble is incredibly difficult to do, we need to remember that now online gambling is incredibly popular and in fact I will not be surprised if online gambling is now more popular than regular gambling which was done at physical casinos, so unless a person decides to disconnect completely from digital devices like a computer and a smartphone then it is almost impossible to find such an environment, and even if you could find such an environment it is impossible to remain in that environment forever.

There's nothing impossible as long you do have money or funds into your pocket because if ever you wont really see some places or platforms then you could always op in on buying those essential things just for you to make yourself get connected.It all matters on someones dedication whether they are really that willing to quit or avoid gambling for good or would really be definitely still playing on what ever ways you could able to do
so as long you do have money then you could always have the choice whenever you do move into a place where these things can be find out. On the question if the place or environment could really affect
someones gambling addiction then its yes but of course it would be needing that strong self control and discipline on handling things.
