Reputation first.

Yes sure, there are many habits that incentivize gambling game. If you live in Las Vegas maybe you'll be a gambler Grin

. Apart from that, I think that society where you are, city where you live ecc. will influetiate you in

everyone of your hobby, not only gambling one. As the user above said, if you live in the amazonian jungle I don't think that you'd be a gambler.

More of that, also society and your family give to you some influence about.

spending time in the amazonian jungle can definitely help gambling addicts, no possibility of using internet, too busy enjoying the new environment, the tribes can also give you medicine and organize ceremonies to help you deal with your habit. same goes also for some tribes in africa.
op, change of environment and society can definitely help.

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?

In my opinion, the place of residence of the player does not affect his addiction to gambling in any way.

The social circle is also not a factor influencing the time spent by the player for gambling. This is due to the fact that online gambling is currently the most common.

At the same time, most people in the world are introverts. Most people are completely immersed in the virtual world (and this is not only gambling, but also other virtual entertainment available on the Internet).

Therefore, a change in geographical location and social circle of communication is not able to cure a person from gambling addiction.

The only thing that will make someone to change from it's decision. it's because of lacks of funds but when someone is rich very well which nobody can bend it decision unless it undergoes numbers of advices from prominent people. Because a situation that changes the decisions of someone emotions and conditions is very difficult and especially for those people who have what it takes to control and stamped for their words. But from this your analysis, i have not see were it relate or collabrate with gambling issues.

It's true the only thing that makes a person want to change is his decision and it requires strong determination. I do not agree that lack of funds can eliminate his bad habit of gambling. I think lack of funds is one of cause and effect, it is not impossible that he will do his gambling again another day when he has money. and this is not at the core of the topic of this thread. Likewise, advice from prominent people or clergy does not fully help people who are addicted to gambling.

And also the cause of the unlawful act when an addicted gambler gets run out of money. He can think of something

unexpected, to the point that he might steal or anything that can bring him money to gamble back, it's not really relevant with lacking
of funds, but more on changing the directions of the person to avoid or completely move away from gambling, changing the environments
and keep the person busy with other things can straighten the problem with gambling addictions.

it is effective in some part but this will still depend on our wanting , because even how changing locations we do but if we will keep seeking for gambling places then ? what is the sense actually?
I'm afraid that all we wanted is different from what we are doing if that happens.

change place if you are ready to leave addiction , of course with your family that supporting you.

It's 2022 already, you can almost access anything through internet. So, moving in environment without gamblers won't change you that much. Unless you completely stop yourself from using internet (which is nearly impossible to do) and focus on something profitable. Of course, the amount should be decent or near what you are aiming in gambling so it can satisfy your craving in profit.

so far the gambling place as a user is a place of entertainment and with gambling you can get a lot of money when you receive luck, some people who are technology savvy and often surf the internet, they must have tasted the world of gambling with various models, and it is proven from year to year Gambling sites on the internet have a high demand.

What do you think if in this day and age there is no internet and we are still in the current pandemic, do you think it will be okay with gamblers all over the world? although the person who can gamble in a land based casinos is limited.

The change of a person from a gambling addiction always depends on the person who is addicted to gambling, and I agree with you on that point. The real change really comes from oneself first, second only to what they say family or close friend.

Yes I agree, without the force within that person he will not change his bad habits

It is not always that the decision of a person that will change him. Although it goes along way like many people believe but at the same time there are other external forces that can force someone to change from one particular habit to the other one. For instance sickness and a particular type of it can control the way we act. If a gambler is on sick bed and not able to move around definitely his gambling activities will automatically reduce.

Why do we always see in movies that when someone is hurt in love and in professional life they change their location.
In our religion people migrate too - if they are finding the place not treating them well. So migration in our culture is very important if you need to have a better future. Change is constant.

This is the truth, without a doubt professional help is needed when the addiction is completely out of control, but the desire to get better can only come within the person and if they do not have it then regardless of what you do to try to help them then that person is never going to improve, which is why there are people which recover completely, those which will always struggle against their addiction, and those that never recover despite the best efforts of their loved ones.

Yes, even more so when they have responsibilities that must be fulfilled in their family life, at least they should be able to save the money from their salary for a healthier life to support their family from day to day. But if they are still single and also they can still make money with their work, it will be very difficult to stop the habit of gambling, because the awareness to stop gambling will exist when they get into trouble from gambling itself to make them think for something healthier.

Many gamblers which are addicted to gambling do not care about their own families they need to support, the addiction they are going through consumes them completely to the point they do not care about anything else, which is why eventually their loved ones leave them behind and that is when they finally realize they have reached rock bottom and this is the wake up call they needed to eventually try to look for help and try to resolve their addiction, however even if they do so the damage they could have inflicted on their families will never disappear, and even if they get better they may fail to recover the family they have lost.

I agree with you having the opportunity to access casinos online all around the world within seconds makes it very hard to get out of the reach. A relocation could only help if you are addicted to gambling in physical casinos and never use online casinos. There are other ways to help addicts in their way towards recovery. The best thing in my opinion is to not live alone and make sure they share an house with other people who are struggling and get some form of supervision.~

Even if we are talking about addiction to online casinos, changing the environment is critical. It's one thing when everyone around you is doing it, discussing gambling, etc. - this does not give you the opportunity to get distracted and forget about this topic. And it’s another matter when such a topic simply does not exist in your environment and everyone is passionate about something completely different. In such conditions, you will not want (or at least you will not constantly receive gambling reminders) to open an online casino app and play.

In some instances, there's a possibility that this might get happen because if you are surrounded by the different gamblers and they keep sharing their experience by that you can gain knowledge of course having a good environment related to the activity you want there's a chance you will get those information and what are the things you need to avoid with. Theres a chance its lessen the risk but there's no chance that lower the chance to lose.

But if they happen to move in an environment in which no one drinks alcohol then they will not be as tempted to do so, and as far as I know this is one of the steps when it comes to overcoming alcohol addiction, and as such something similar should be followed when it comes to gambling addiction.

I think change in environment does matter - however - it also depend on the will of the person.
One should not get into the gambling to an extent where they lose their money and come in trouble. However sometime man become so much blind that they lose all the control over their mind.

Yes I agree, without the force within that person he will not change his bad habits. He should start to help himself, even the environment he will gonna live will be a new one and very different from before he needs to show that he is willing to accept the reality, take a step and be positive that soon he will recover from his addiction in gambling. He needs a family to help his finances as well.

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.

I think something similar to this, if someone is addicted to alcohol then if they move in an environment in which there is a lot of alcohol being consumed then it is going to be a lot more difficult for them to leave their addiction behind.

But if they happen to move in an environment in which no one drinks alcohol then they will not be as tempted to do so, and as far as I know this is one of the steps when it comes to overcoming alcohol addiction, and as such something similar should be followed when it comes to gambling addiction.

OK, I know I don't post in the gambling section much, but I saw this and just had to respond.

I worked in an inpatient drug rehab for years and I've learned a good deal about addiction in my lifetime, and I've met a lot of trapped gamblers. One of the tenets of recovery is that "geographical cures" rarely work, because it doesn't matter where the addict goes, there he is (i.e., with the addiction still intact and ready to be reactivated whenever there's a chance). Drugs and gambling are equivalent as far as I'm concerned, because the addiction to either one of them involves the same neurochemical pathways in the brain and the outcomes are very similar.

You could move away from Las Vegas to some little hick town in Bumblefuck, Alabama, but it's almost guaranteed that if you're a problem gambler you'll find a way to start betting again. And with the availability of casinos online, I mean come on. There's no way in hell a change of environment is a solution to a gambling problem.

I agree with you having the opportunity to access casinos online all around the world within seconds makes it very hard to get out of the reach. A relocation could only help if you are addicted to gambling in physical casinos and never use online casinos. There are other ways to help addicts in their way towards recovery. The best thing in my opinion is to not live alone and make sure they share an house with other people who are struggling and get some form of supervision. Limited internet access that blocks casinos could be one tool to try and limit the online pressure from casinos, but there is always the possibility to use the cell phone network to get around any ban. Another good tool that the parents or friends should do is control the personal finances of someone who is struggling with gambling addiction. If a person has only access to small allowances it makes it much harder to use the money for gambling only.

I fully supported this part mate , because gambling is something that we wanted to leave at but the problem is how and going from place to another is really one thing that you can find for.

but of course you are great if you happen to find new place for that.

Treatments and other temporary solutions will only work for a short while but the whole recovery and healing process from gambling addiction will rely on a person's eagerness to change his ways. If he isn't willing to leave gambling then the environment or professional help will not work. He should start the healing on himself.

This is the truth, without a doubt professional help is needed when the addiction is completely out of control, but the desire to get better can only come within the person and if they do not have it then regardless of what you do to try to help them then that person is never going to improve, which is why there are people which recover completely, those which will always struggle against their addiction, and those that never recover despite the best efforts of their loved ones.

This is maybe applicable to a person who is addicted to a land base casino gambling game. Moving away from the place where the patient's addiction is nurtured, is one of the better methods of controlling gambling addiction but if the person is addicted to online Casino games, then moving out would do nothing especially if the internet connection is way better than the place he came from. It is better to stay and just cut the internet connection off.

You are right about that, of course if a gambler has become addicted online, finding another place to change it is useless because it is only online that he becomes addicted. And he is only applicable to gamblers who often go to the casino area. Moreover, the guidance of one's own family is always a good guide in this matter in my opinion.

Perhaps, the other things that could help for the addict gambler is to change their daily routine habit were it can give
amusement to themselves of course in some other way.
