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

It is somehow had a huge impact on our lifestyle and can even forget gambling.
as if you are in this place,
- Limited access to the internet
- having a far distance from the city where offline casinos located
- surround with business mindset people

It definitely will change everything as we are in the prior to adopting the new environment rather than got still crazy about gambling. But I hope we don't have reach to that point, that is why we have to control our addiction at all costs.

A new hobby could definitely help a person to overcome the burning desire they have of gambling all the time, however for someone that is truly addicted to gambling that cannot ever be the only solution to their problems, once a person has reached the point in which they can be considered to be addicted to something they need professional help, and while there are many therapies that can help them to overcome their problems it is not something that happens overnight and it is a process that can last for months or even a year.

Going into an environment even if they're too addicted already and they're needing a professional help. I think if the place is totally good and they can feel relaxed. That can help them to de stress and might give them the idea that it is what they want after all of those losses that they've made and the addiction that they've got. Nature can really help them to have that healing process and natural remove that addiction and will make them think that there should be something that they have to do instead of being a gambling addict. No one can stop them in gambling but with moderation.

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 emphasize more having a strong determination to change because it can help you to get out of gambling addiction.
Without a strong will, you can be tempted to return to gambling even if your environment does not have a gambler or one who invites you to gamble.
Moving places can be recommended for people who want to change and have new activities but it must be accompanied by a determination to change for the better.
It wouldn't be easy, especially if that person was so used to gambling every day because he could feel something was missing from it.

Determination is something that is important and that's the point if you really want to be free from addiction.
As for moving house or staying away from people who are still gambling, this is only a support but also something important to make our determination not waver because no matter how strong our determination is when attacked by this temptation, it will feel like torture.

This is very true, even if a person changes his environment a thousand times, he will not be able to change if there is really no great intention that arises from within his heart. Intention to change is what is needed for an addict to be able to leave the things that make him/her addicted, and great support from family plays a more important role for a person to recover from his addiction than changing the environment.

But do keep in mind that change of hearts often happens due to their environment too. Something urges people to change, perhaps it's something that they can see around them or something that they are currently doing which is very new to their routine. A change in environment plays a huge role in curbing gambling addiction. Try to distance an addict from his/her fix. There will be some symptoms of withdrawal but with constant monitoring and diversion of their interest, they'll slowly change their ways and not notice that they're no longer addicted to something.

Changing environment is indeed a factor in developing a change to a person. A person who doesn't have the intention to change will not instantly stop what the person want's to do but changing some things like changing it's environment can help the person realize what things should he change to fit in that certain environment. If I myself were put in a village were there were gambling is prohibited, I will respect it and abide the place. I'm sure an addict will do everything just to do he wants but sooner or after there will be a change in his perspective. Changing the environment can possibly make some addict stop playing gambling and some addicts don't. It depends on how addicted and how the addict realize things.

Good day. I suppose the environment plays a crucial role in the formation of any kind of addiction. While being in the company of drug addicts or alcoholics for a long time, a person is much more likely to acquire addiction too. Thus, answering your question, yes, it seems to me that an environment where the surrounding people are not involved in gambling will have an extremely positive effect on a person addicted to gambling.

However, there is also the human factor - the personality itself. The recovery process largely depends on willpower and the desire to change your life. Alas, if a person does not want to change anything, no environment will help.

So replies now are saying that a change of hobby is far more effective in affecting gambling addiction than a change of environment. I would agree with that since changing hobbies will occupy our activities and thoughts, possibly leaving no space for gambling activities. If we got busy with other things then we can avoid our gambling activities but of course, we should set our priority on those new hobbies over gambling else, we will end up gambling again since we did not remove gambling as our top priority.

A new hobby could definitely help a person to overcome the burning desire they have of gambling all the time, however for someone that is truly addicted to gambling that cannot ever be the only solution to their problems, once a person has reached the point in which they can be considered to be addicted to something they need professional help, and while there are many therapies that can help them to overcome their problems it is not something that happens overnight and it is a process that can last for months or even a year.

It indeed can't happen overnight it is a continuous effort between the therapies and the person itself to help to solve the gambling addiction that he already has, and for sure the therapies will also advise in changing the environment of the person to help him to cope from the addiction and the corruption inside his mind.

It can really help but more on the self will of the person to be removed gambling inside him, if he permits of thinking of other things around it will be helping the process.

Yes, residents of southern countries are more emotional in expressing their emotions.

But now we are talking about the inhabitants of the northern countries, who have become addicted to gambling....

It can be assumed that they became a victim of gambling addiction precisely because of the lack of other entertainment (They need walks in picturesque parks, a lot of bright Southern Sun and swimming in the Mediterranean Sea).

Long winter evenings in northern countries make them look for virtual entertainment - watching TV shows, computer games and gambling in online casinos.

Therefore, by changing the climate of the country of residence, the player can get a chance to get rid of gambling addiction.

I believe addiction can be reduced in every gambler, but the process depends on how severe the addiction is. It is like a gambler rehab program and should vary. For some people with severe addiction must be treated by experts regardless of whether they have to use drugs or other medical therapy, but for addiction in the early or intermediate stages, environmental changes are also sufficient to reduce the effects of addiction.

I wouldn't say everything can be the same for every gambler which will reduce his addiction, it has to be different and to be honest many people probably won't make it in the end if the addiction is severe enough.

If it's about getting rid of gambling addiction, then I would use every opportunity to cure this disease (and gambling addiction is a disease).
Perhaps, in some cases, a change of residence can be effective. For example, if the player lives in a northern country where it is always cold, dark, and the harsh winter lasts for many months. There are a lot of such countries - Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Canada, etc.

The harsh climate of these countries and the lack of sunlight can provoke depression, as well as contribute to the development of gambling addiction. Moving to a sunny country (like Italy or Spain) might solve the problem. The beautiful nature of Tuscany is made for romantic walks.

If the player walks more in the fresh air and admires the beautiful landscapes, then perhaps the painful craving for gambling will disappear from him.

An interesting idea, but don't you think that it can lead to the opposite result? After all, there is a stereotype that the inhabitants of the Southern countries are more temperamental, quick-tempered and, ultimately, more gambling. I have no scientific evidence for this stereotype (in the sense of gambling), but I think that these stereotypes did not appear from scratch, but are a reflection of the experience of many generations.

This can distract him, so sometimes when someone starts to get addicted, sometimes there are some who say that looking for their own busyness can make a little change in their addiction because indeed other activities can distract their gambling habits but indeed things like this will not always work because indeed things like this are only temporary for some people, so it is indeed the most correct thing to do with the help of specialists and as much as possible to avoid all forms of gambling if you want to stop.

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?

I believe that a change of environment can definitely have an effect on gambling addiction. How exactly? I have no idea.

Lets talk about a different kind of environment for comparison:
With pressure fluctuations during hot to cold weather-changes, your brain goes on a kind of neuronal electrical overload because the sudden drop in air pressure causes chemical changes in your brain and that causes neurons to fire off electrical impulses at a higher frequency. All that overload in electrical impulses causes irritation of the brain. you get a headache. Now you are irritable and prone to bad decisions during gambling.

However as I am no neuroscientist, thats as much as I can tell you what happens to your brain during physical environmental change. However I am certain that even if social pressure is not actual physical pressure, it does probably have some of the same physical effects on your brain.

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.

I emphasize more having a strong determination to change because it can help you to get out of gambling addiction.
Without a strong will, you can be tempted to return to gambling even if your environment does not have a gambler or one who invites you to gamble.
Moving places can be recommended for people who want to change and have new activities but it must be accompanied by a determination to change for the better.
It wouldn't be easy, especially if that person was so used to gambling every day because he could feel something was missing from it.

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.

maybe it is better mingle with people that does not really involving into gambling, in which this is a way to stop gambling totally because if are with the people that never tackle gambling in your conversation then best solution to be out in that circulations .

and also best to change environment in place that there are no one who really knows you so you can start being a new person and with those you can become a best person you wanted to be.

have some friend that does this already and yes they are successful .

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 our culture gambling change of environment is very common - particularly when you face any down fall or trouble
People move from that place and make a fresh start.
And this is very helpful in downfalls - health and mental issues

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.

Yes, it will probably mean something to those who are really trying to reduce their gambling addiction. Moving to an environment away from gambling, engaging in more positive activities and spend more time with family are some other ways. I've experienced something like that in the past, and to be honest I can totally control my excessive gambling urge.

I'm sure gamblers don't really want to be addicted, but it's a risk for every game. It is a money based game and every time you spend money you will surely think about how to win it.
