Addictions are difficult to leave behind precisely because most of the time the reason behind their addiction can be easily obtained to the point changing the environment may not do much, and gambling addiction is like that, after all almost any person today that lives at a city has a smartphone with Internet access, this means that they only need to do a quick search, make a deposit and they can be gambling in a matter of minutes, so only those which are completely determined to leave gambling behind can ever recover from their addiction.

But it's probably easier to give up addiction when there are no constant reminders of it around you that constantly initiate your memories and habit. It's like with smoking or drinking - I know a few people who quit these habits, but gradually returned to them because if your friends (let's say at work) regularly go out to smoke, then you go with them and sooner or later you will start smoking again. Similarly with drinking - if your group of friends is used to playing billiards (or sitting in a computer club) and drinking, then it is very difficult to go beyond this pattern of behavior without stopping communication with them completely.

This can be true if the person doesn't have internet acess, it is hard for a gamble addict to stop no matter the change of environment since gambling is part of him. You gamble most times when less busy so only self discipline can play a major role on gambling.

I think that is why when the people are upset and want a change - they take a break and go to the far off place to change their mind and relax.
This is surly a trick - same old place - same old problems. New place - new problem. But life goes on - we only suffer and then we face a bigger problem in our life.

actually, you have a point on this one. individuals are being mold on what and where they grew up with but it is not the ultimate factor that will determine their fate later on with their lives. they can always change their perspectives in life if they are exposed to other beliefs or culture even if they were raised to certain beliefs. we can never be sure what kind of person he will be later on with his life. but of course, his environment may somehow influence his individuality but as i said, not an ultimate factor that will dictate the person's future.

Yes, sure!

I even believe that in this case an important factor that can make a difference is the ambience in which a particular individual lives.
An example of this is when a child enters adolescence and starts to get involved with bad friendships, if he doesn't have the mindset and values when he was acquired as a child, that person can easily change his way of living, dressing, attitudes and other variables related to their lifestyle.

It is logical that what I said is something totally random, but it has a little bit of nexus with the theme of this topic.

The kind of environment is not impossible to adopt, if a child grow with some companion that has a bad influence on him, he will duplicate that same mentality, and in accordance to changing environment, if the person who have gambling addiction problem will stay to a place where gambling is not possible to reach, both offline and online is not reachable.

That person can easily adopt other alternative activities that the environment can offer to him.

if he chooses to keep being busy playing sports or be with other people and do some outdoors or indoors activities, it will be easy
to move forward and stay away from addiction if there's no way to know about it.

A gambling addict can quiet from it constant or regular playing of gambling when it leave that particular environment that people living there is not interested or over inquisitive or serious towards gambling so this gambling addict even though there is a sufficient network to the environment the addict play it so I believe that environment have what contribution towards somebody been an addict in gambling booking and gambling games or gambling playing. Most people who is gambling addict caldina stud pattern or with pattern

Even if that person doesn't have internet access, if there is a casino near his new place of residence, he will go to that casino because he can't leave gambling yet. But if he had any intention of giving up gambling, he would abandon it. And with high self-discipline, he will be able to really leave gambling, especially with the support of his new place of residence which makes him unable to gamble anymore.

Anything that gives access on someone who are addicted to gambling whether it would be a physical casino or online casino then it would really be that normal for them
to play as long it would be available which is really that a common scenario.If the time on which a certain person is restricted on to these places or any possible ways or simply
cutting off himself with the connection online or into a place which casinos arent there then high likely that he would recover from addiction but of course it would really be
still depending on his mindset and preference because someone could be addicted once again if ever they would encounter it again.

Or we can also say that if the person grows up with the traditional gambling games because those games aren't found on an online casino as there's a tendency that when that gambler moves into a different location he will still look for an alternative and try to seek that game online. We can't say that a gambler must relocate to a rural area because we think there are no internet there but even the rural areas now have improved.

There are now a couple of cell sites on them so it's still possible for anyone living on there to connect to the internet. Self-discipline is what we need when gambling but unfortunately it is not easy as it seems.

That is true, it seems that we have forgotten the place of self discipline in this topic of gambling. Change of environment might work for some people who are not fully adults but might not work for fully adults. But self discipline is the important and the working method to overcome gambling addiction in adults.

Without a doubt the support from your family members is necessary in order to recover from a severe case of gambling addiction and a change in the environment can without a doubt help those which were addicted, but even that is not enough, professional help is needed as well otherwise it would be incredibly easy for that person to go back to his old ways, and we have many examples of this on the forum, in which they can leave gambling for a while but eventually they go back to it and lose a massive amount of money in a short amount of time.

That's the problem, just the same with any addiction. If there's no self will, the person can easily go back and got engage. It's an effort coming first with the person itself to solve his problem, plus the support of the family and love ones which will be extended to seek help with the professionals, in this process the addiction will be easier to remove from that particular person's system.

It's an effort that will work if the person itself is willing to clean and free himself from addiction.

but this is not what the question is all about , because in this there is an Gambling addiction that involved and not just changing place in which the person in question might still seek for gambling places even if he already transferred place because the desire to gamble is still there.
so best if he wanted to divert to another place then he must literally ready to migrate not only in location but also in lifestyle.
he must be ready not to find betting again and will live a new one in that particular location .

A gambler will always remain a gambler and if he's addicted, going somewhere won't help him out if he wishes to remain with the same lifestyle.
But a place could help him to become a casual gambler and remove that addiction if he feels something from within. There are gamblers that just need help from someone and need to have a special feeling for their purpose to remove the addiction. The location is important because if there are no other people that have the same interest as his, then he might pursue another interest and activity to be done.

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.

Things chance and they can change so fast that humans have problems adapting to it, just a generation ago even if cellphones were relatively common people still only used them to make a call or two and that was it.

But now they can do so many functions that people interact with their smartphones several hours per day to the point we can say that many people are addicted to it, gambling is similar, it has evolved and now it is available all the time, so someone that just had a small problem with their self-control could lose a small amount of money in the past, now that person can become completely addicted to gambling as they cannot put their smartphone away and keep gambling while trying to recover the money they have lost already.

With new sets of daily activities and with alternatives lifestyle, eventually the urge of gambling will be removed inside your system and from that you will be busy with other things and will allow you to complete free up yourself with gambling addictions.

The change in environment can bring in so many positive change in the personality of the person.
In our culture and religion we are advised to move and do not remain stagnant - because stagnant water and stagnant person are not not progressive.

I can't disagree with you. And in this desire to change, the support of loved ones is of great importance. From personal experience, I will claim that coping with such difficulties alone is almost impossible. The firmness of intentions and support of family or friends are the main components that will help the addict to heal.

Following to that sentiment, if your love ones really care about your problem the full support will help you to cope up, gambling addiction might be developed alone but resolving or recovering from this kind of issue will take a long road if there's none who will help you. In terms of changing the environment with the help of your love ones will allow you to clean some air inside your polluted minds.

With new sets of daily activities and with alternatives lifestyle, eventually the urge of gambling will be removed inside your system and from that you will be busy with other things and will allow you to complete free up yourself with gambling addictions.

Without a doubt the support from your family members is necessary in order to recover from a severe case of gambling addiction and a change in the environment can without a doubt help those which were addicted, but even that is not enough, professional help is needed as well otherwise it would be incredibly easy for that person to go back to his old ways, and we have many examples of this on the forum, in which they can leave gambling for a while but eventually they go back to it and lose a massive amount of money in a short amount of time.

Changes can be experienced, but this needs to be considered as moderation and not of control. Some people find close ones keeping track of their gambling activity as a way of taking control of them. According to me this needs to be considered as moderation. Then surely one will slowly have control over his gambling activity. This is my personal experience and I've changed a lot.

This is a very interesting question, and as a result, there may be several answers.

But in my opinion I believe this is relative, each person will be able to respond in a certain way to a certain type of stimulus.

But in the most of time I believe that the culture of a particular country or region has a fundamental role in the formation of the human being.
I imagine that if a child grows up in a certain environment where he is familiar with several people gambling and betting moneyther's be a possibly in the future he could be a gambler (this is not something totally assertive).

Now, if a child grew up in a family or region that is totally against or that the use of gambling is minimal or perhaps prohibited, the chances of that child being an adult gambling addict may be minimal.
It is logical that what I mentioned above is not something ""100% assertive"" and in fact it will happen, it was just a brief example that I wanted to share in this topic

actually, you have a point on this one. individuals are being mold on what and where they grew up with but it is not the ultimate factor that will determine their fate later on with their lives. they can always change their perspectives in life if they are exposed to other beliefs or culture even if they were raised to certain beliefs. we can never be sure what kind of person he will be later on with his life. but of course, his environment may somehow influence his individuality but as i said, not an ultimate factor that will dictate the person's future.

Some people are close minded and some are really that versatile whatever the conditions or situations they are possibly dealing off with but still ending up on neither sticking with their own ideas that they've been used to or simply trying out to absorbed and getting familiar on things that they are currently dealing with.We know that each person is totally different when it comes on approaching things and making out decisions.
Not all people would really be that too reactive on new experiences or surroundings that they do have but as mentioned it would potentially affect on the things that they've been doing in the past
specially if they are on a new surrounding which they cant possibly see off those things around.
