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?

Gambling is a bad addiction. If anyone is addicted to gambling once.  Then he is considered a bad person in the society.  His behavior changes and he is disturbed to keep pace with the people of the society. Some people become addicted to gambling only when they go to gamble.  But if one does not gamble, he will never be addicted to it.

Humans were created as social beings, which means they cannot live without other individuals, the influence of the environment and family can have positive and negative impacts on one life. The influence of the environment plays an important role, relationships that cannot be controlled play an important role in behavior and attitudes. What should be done is to be able to adapt in their relationships, because by adapting they will be able to adapt in their behavior and ways of thinking in their environment in a positive direction.

Depending on his desire, want to stop gambling or not.
One can leave the habit of gambling if the desire to quit is greater. Blocking access to gambling can be done to break the connection with online gambling or soccer gambling, by closing access to any and all forms of gambling, one can put an end to the habit of gambling.

Triggers are objects or stimulus that can easily cause a gambling addict to stay bound to the addiction. These objects or stimulus could be present in the environment where the gambling addict lives. It could be other gambling friends, it could be the land-based casinos. So moving out of the environment to a totally new environment helps. Some therapists would actually advice for a change of environment where possible. However, when it comes to online casino gambling, the solution becomes a bit complex. Because you carry the "environment" with you even if you move out.

Yes, we agree that the environment has a big influence on the lifestyle of every individual in a country or region. Cultural factors can be a reference in an area. if we look in general for cases of addiction, it is possible if a gambling addict moves from place to place to fix his addiction problem in a new, healthier environment. This is one factor that a person can change, but not only to move to another area he will be finished with his addiction problem. 

Of course, we've discussed in several other threads that genes contribute to the inheritance of addiction although it actually comes back to the individual in each case.

There is a possibility that the gambler could change, provided he finds a lot of more interesting things or activities in his new environment that catch his attention and make him spend more time with.

It's all about distracting the gambler. Gambling is interesting and fun but for as long as there is something that is more interesting than gambling itself, it is possible for the gambler to change. But if there is none, such environment can't change him.

In these modern times, one's environment could extend beyond one's immediate physical environment. It includes the internet where gamblers spend time. So even with a new physical environment where there is no gambler but there's also nothing interesting to do, nothing will change with the gambler.

Given that there are online casinos, then anywhere with an Internet connection would be a place where they could gamble.

Having said that, there is a big difference between living in a country where gambling is normal, or encouraged, and living in a country where it's not normal or encouraged.

You will not see ads everywhere about gambling for example. People won't be discussing gambling, and so on.

So, I would say that yes, a change of environment can greatly affect gambling addiction.

Having said that, a person can always control their own minds, so whatever you decide you will end up doing, independent of where you are.

Gambling addicts would remain as addicts even when forcefully separated from their original environment. The activity has already been set in place, and only constant care could actually remove it. It's like how removing cigarettes from a smoker wouldn't really help, heck would probably even make things worse since there's a possibility of withdrawal. Not to mention it isn't exactly easy to remove gambling from an environment due to the internet which makes it easily accessible.

Letting someone grow in a gambling-free environment though does lower, but not completely remove the chances of someone falling into addiction. We generally gamble not just in gambling games but also in simple decisions, especially when we were young. A kind of YOLO moment so to speak, and honestly, if they were to find that excitement thrilling, they may just fall into the gambling hole sooner or later.

Changing environment can to a large extent affect the behavior of anybody. Every environment has it's own peculiar activities and unique characteristics. A gambling addict that gambles because he wants to get cash for feeding can stop gambling if he moves to a place where there are diverse lucrative employment opportunities that can cheaply enable him meet his basic needs and get some extra funds. Also, going to an environment where there is no power supply or internet facility can force a gambling addict to stop gambling. Moving to an environment where gambling is seen as a taboo or a great sin can make a gambling addict to reconsider his gambling ways.

No matter what the environment is if that person really eyes and targets gambling they will find a way to do it no matter what.

To truly stopped them, they need assistance from their families and friends. Make these people busy and help them to achieve to stop gambling.

But for me, if those addicted persons do not totally fall into the trap, a good discussion with them is already enough instead of this relocation idea.

As things are happening through internet, surrounding isn't an issue. I never take into consideration the surrounding. Just because someone is gambling I don't, but the privacy I've got make me go for it whenever I have an urge for money. So according to me surrounding environment doesn't make any impact on my gambling activity.

Of course, it will help since it looks like a rehabilitation center for them but what do you mean by this? I mean, if someone is being put there without being forced then realistically they could just get out anytime they want and if someone is addicted to gambling, I don't think they would last a day staying on that place unless if someone is guarding them so that they don't just leave the place.

If you want someone to change their habits they should help their selves and not just you offering something so that they won't do it again. It takes courage to let someone change or maybe a hard lesson that they won't forget but it's up to them in the end.

A little agree with you, the environment greatly affects a person's life but only 60%-70% maybe. The gambling addict is due to the habit factor, freedom in his life so that he does't  discipline himself. Getting better depends on himself, whether he will continue gambler addict or not, even if he is placed by the family to a healthy environment.
Well now, the world is getting advanced with new technology he can develop himself as a gambling addict through the internet and digital money, unless he doesn't have both it might be difficult.
Totally hard to believe on living on a place which doesnt have internet or simply your mobile phone on which you cant possibly deal with online things which signifies that you could really gain through access with those places and if you are really that addicted enough with gambling and you cant do it on physical manner then you would opt in dealing with online gambling.

Place or environment could definitely make out some effect on at least diverting your attention into other aspect but its still up to someone on how he would really be convincing himself
on stopping at least gambling activity.

Bust just like on what others been saying that if you are not prepared nor accepted to quit gambling or take some break with gambling then you would definitely finding ways.

What's the concern of being addicted to gambling where in return, that gambler is still responsible outside their gambling activity? Do you think that these gamblers are totally out of their mind because they are addicted? Why there's a need for them to be relocated and force them to change if they know what they are doing.

Didn't you realize that professional gamblers are all addicted to gambling?

To answer directly your question, gambling is everywhere. Even if they will be put in an environment or society where people are not involved in gambling, these gamblers can still find a way to gamble. Everyone has an access to the internet, buddy. Imagine even those in a place where gambling is illegal, for sure there are not many gamblers around there, but these people can still find a way to gamble.

If the goal is to stop these people, put them on a gambling recovery program and focus to change their mindset to do other activities.

Environment really affects anyone, it can be for good or for bad it all depends, but the thing is we still have the power to make our lives better if you still want to gamble and gets addicted to it you're the one accountable for that. Little by little we will have change as we adapt the changes in our environment, so wthr answer is it is still depends on your willingness to change.

I dont think changing location can really have impact on gambler, since the user is already addicted to gambling i believe even if nobody around him gamble he will still gamble as long as he is having his mobile phone and he is having access to the internet then he will still continue to gamble. their are lots of gambling site online which you dont have to visit local shops before you gamble so even if the gambler change location he will still gamble.

There is certainly a big impact for each of us in terms of environment and the society where we live on. The society that's near you can hone you to become better or get the worse of you.

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?
Possible.

If that addict is being placed to a society where there are no gamblers and they all speak about better living. There's a big chance that addicted gambler will change eventually and will also be influenced by that society where he is.

Can someone still develop the habit of gambling and become an addict even though no one around gambles?
Yes, it's a personal decision and behavior whether you have someone influenced you or none.

In today's world of technology where almost everyone has smarphone, internet and computers, people don't even need to be influenced by the environment, they isolate themselves and stay on the internet all the time and end up alone entering the world of gambling addiction. you can research this in your neighborhood and you will see that people addicted to gambling are not on the street constantly, they are not with friends, so they do not become addicted due to the influence of the environment, on the contrary they isolate themselves and stay only on the internet where they become addicted to gambling

maybe in today's generation, the environment factor is getting less impact in terms of gambling addiction. but if your environment has traditional gamblers where you will wake up in the morning, having people around the table playing cards, i believe, this will have impact in your life.
but for younger generation, as the access is now easy via digital gadgets, it now depends on how their peers are influencing them when it comes to gambling. because some want to be cool and follow what's in, they will do what others are doing in social media, that kind of thing.

i agree what you have mentioned - there is a big influence of environment on the people. Like gambling is a very common thing which is done in the west but if you go to Islamic countries - you would not be able to find even one casino in the whole country also you will have difficulty finding alcohol. But in west. . on the other hand you will see people drinking on road sides.

It will not make him better if he finds people drinking on the road sides, it gives him the idea to do the same. Seeing them drink influences him to drink as well.  A person has to fight the urge whether he is addicted to gambling or alcohol, he has to first be influenced by the environment.

A crowd full of addicts, its a party and the judging eyes will not even work for them.
