Topic: Gamble Responsibly - page 14. (Read 11099 times)

If everyone followed those steps I doubt there will be anyone that got addicted to gambling, however in my experience many people do not want to take their hobbies with any level of seriousness, they are thinking about entertaining themselves and to shirk any kind of responsibilities, and there are hobbies in which this is not possible, and since gambling involves the use of our money in a very direct way I think this is not something we can really do, as such people should always remain attentive to their behavior when they are gambling.

I had already commented on this in my post that I made in a thread where I talked about gambling addiction and in that same post I said that whatever a person does, it is important that the person does not exaggerate. if a person drinks beer, then that person needs to create a plan that allows him not to deviate from the right path even if he continues drinking beer, beer factories do not stop making beer even with the number of car accidents caused by people who drinking beer is increasing a lot, this is because beer factories pay taxes, create jobs for many people and it is not the beer companies' fault when people become addicted to beer and destroy their lives

This is the same thing that happens with sex and drugs, when people start abusing sex, then they become addicted and as a result they are unable to have relationships that last for a long time, they end up using drugs and then they die. The same thing happens with games of chance, people must set limits on the amounts available to play and set limits on the time available to spend playing. because even when they are very rich to the point of having money until they die, if they don't set a time limit for playing, they will become addicted, they will go into depression and they will die, not even a lot of money won't save them.

Gambling can be enjoyable, but it is important to do so responsibly. This involves setting limits, understanding odds, taking breaks, avoiding substances, and being aware of signs of problem gambling. By following these guidelines, individuals can enjoy the entertainment value of gambling while minimizing potential negative consequences.

If you can divert into something that is profitable other than gambling I think it would be better. We all know it is not that easy but if we really wanted a change then why not? Some people who are enjoying gambling as entertainment sometimes turn into something they will hate in the future that is why we need to be a responsible gambler.

Creating a new business will be a good solution for people who have money because they can earn money from their business without losing money in gambling. And instead of learning how to play a gambling game, he can use his time to learn about business or investment to grow his business. While he can play gambling in his free time, he can also have a new thing to do: run his business. That will make him keep busy and focus on his business.

For the vast majority of people trading is no different from gambling. I know that many of those so called trading specialists on the internet want to convince you otherwise and even hope you buy their courses that are supposed to teach you how to trade, but the truth is that only a very small fraction of self-proclaimed traders are earning money with it in a sustainable manner. Investing maybe an option, but when we are talking about a person that needs monthly income to pay for all necessities like rent, food and health care, it doesn't make much sense to talk about investing at that point because that person has no spare money to begin with. The normal way for everyone to get started is to generate reliable income and then try to change something. That is why there is no responsible gaming in times of low budget life. The first thing to do is to increase a the sustainable income and then go from there.

If there's money that he can use to divert that attention instead of consuming more time with gambling, you can use that time to learn business or investment, not easy but there's also a good chance that you'll be able to read and understand the flow and you will be able to follow good patterns to make a successful journey both from investment and business.

All you have to do is to focus and use whatever resources that you have to make things as potential venue for earning profits.

Yes, instead of gambling, find another means of earning. If that person really aims to earn money and does gambling thinking that he or she could profit from it and doesn't do well, then I suggest finding another hustle like investment or trading. In that way, they could divert their attention to other things. I personally once experienced being a gambling addict and experienced a great loss, but when I realised that I divert my attention to trading, which is also hard but worthy, right now even if I do gambling just a little or a few times, I still have a decent way of earning. It is risky, yes, but it's more fine than wasting too much money on gambling. I only treat gambling as my hobby and make sure I don't go overboard with my gambling boundaries. So I agree to divert attention to other things instead of getting stuck in gambling and suffering more.

Not the majority of your time, it should be some part but most of those gambling addicted person focus only with gambling and nothing else, that's how addiction dominated inside their mindsets and with that problem it's very difficult to move out, gambling responsibility should be taken into account that there are many things that you can do outside gambling.

Stop focusing and allow yourself to quit away by finding things that may allow you to find enjoyment and entertainment.

Gambling responsibly isn't an advice but a necessity for anyone who wants to engage in gambling activities as it would save the person from a lot of future regrets. To many people who has decided to engage in gambling without controlling and regulating their gambling activities, they always end up as gambling addicts. So it's necessary for anyone who can't control his emotions to desist from any gambling activities as it's very likely that he's gonna ruin his life if he continues with gambling.

Well that's right, basically it's okay for anyone if they want to gamble but I hope they can do everything to avoid the gambling addiction, none other than for their own good, because after all maybe you can imagine what it feels like if you get into addiction, you can see many examples of some people who are very badly affected by always experiencing problems in their lives, especially finances that are getting worse. Yes, you suggested a very good alternative, one way to avoid gambling addiction is as you said by keeping yourself busy in some other activities such as adding a part-time job, or whatever it is important to keep you busy, and with that I am sure your mind will avoid the name gambling and you will not remember it too much.

True, basically our lives can also be called gambling, which is where luck is very involved in it, everything cannot be predicted and will not always be in accordance with what we expect, but this is not too significant, as you said maybe only a few percent.

Yes, life is also gambling, but it's not like the games we often play. In the gambling that we often play, there is a problem of losing money and winning money, but we experience more losses and lose money than we get money. And if someone already has a family, he should prioritize his family more than gambling because earning money from his job can fulfill his living needs. That is why if someone wants to gamble, he must be able to avoid gambling addiction because this has become a serious problem for many gamblers so he must really think about this. However, he also has the option not to gamble so he doesn't have to think about his losses and focus on meeting his family's daily needs.

That is certainly true. To avoid gambling addiction it's important to keep yourself busy with other things. Don't think it's boring in the first place. It's not. Life is also gambling in a way, and if you look at it like that, you'll find all those attractions of gambling in your life too. Gambling also can take part in all that, but only a small part, not the main one.

Without someone that will be there to help  I agree with your argument,  but if there are people who cares that will help and guide the person, he can achieved his goal of quitting away from gambling,  as he know that it will harm him again if he will not leave this pattern in life.

It's hard for sure but with self will and strong determination stopping all the way can be achieved.  Tough but doable if there's someone who's willing to guide and help in each time of struggle.

It's way difficult to let go of a bad habit than to cultivate a new one, in most cases the victim end up accepting their fate and live with it but then after several trial to quit an addiction some succeed and end the addiction while some give up because they find it really difficult to let go of the habit, for those who have been able to leave behind a certain addiction, they never wish to go back to it.

In case where the addict is finding it difficult to leave the habit it's very important to seek help but sadly some wouldn't want to for the fear of been judged or perceived as been a certain person or probably irresponsible, so they most likely want to stay with their addiction and leave with it hoping one day they would automatically stop which never happens. Professional help is always the best way to quickly get rid of addiction but other ways may work but will definitely be slow and incomplete as compared to when it's professional.

For those that have not suffered through an addiction it may be difficult to understand, but leaving behind any addiction is incredibly hard, and people will hardly succeed on their first try, they will remain clean for some time and then they will go back to their addiction, so several tries are needed until the person can successfully leave their addiction behind and this is a process that can take years, with this in mind it does not surprise me at all that people simply give up and decide to keep themselves on the path of the addicted as this is the easiest path for them to take.

Many people fail and return to their old habits because perhaps they see that they are incapable of going through everything and that there is no greater support from the people closest to them. Hence, they feel they have been abandoned by the people closest to them. Gambling games are designed to make people return to gambling, especially those who do not have strong self-control, to limit themselves from gambling too often. And it has succeeded in influencing many people to return to gambling and not being able to control their desire to gamble.

That is why gamblers must have strong self-control so as not to be influenced by anything they encounter in gambling. Apart from that, they need to restrain themselves from taking all the promotions at the casino so that they only gamble in moderation. And once they gamble enough, they can stop gambling and leave the casino.

Indeed, admitting a problem is the first critical step towards its resolution. It takes a lot of guts to see the signs of addiction, especially when it comes to something as dangerous as gambling. However, understanding isnt enough. It demands rigorous action. Yes, its important to start with small, real steps, but why do so many people fail and go back to their bad habits? Could it be that online gambling is designed to play mind games with people who are weak and keep them hooked?

Starting with these small changes is like putting the base of a house on a stormy sea for addicts. Its not enough to just recognize and start, you have to be persistent. The whole building can fall down over time if the base isnt strong. Putting in these repeated, steady efforts is what leads to healing. Even though the path is long and dangerous, the hope of a better life is strong enough to keep them going.

Emotional problem will arise as the main provider will have a big problem with his finances, gambling addiction affects the lives of everyone that surrounds that person, especially if he's already have an obligation to provide the needs of his family, I guess all are depends from how the person carry the load, addiction might not be possible if the person is busy taking care of his life and the obligation that he needed to take care.

It's okay if it's too late because it can still be done if they can admit it and are willing to start changing it. After all, it's all for the good and changes in their life. After all, it's better late than never, especially to change bad habits and get a better life.

When they recognize their gambling addiction, they can start to make small changes so they see what they can do. This change may take a long time, depending on the mental readiness of each addict, but it is worth doing to get a better life.

Once they have made these small changes, they will begin larger changes and get used to their new activities. But it's only temporary and building a new habit takes time. So those who still have the drive and enthusiasm to change, will be able to continue well until they can finally cure their gambling addiction.

You make a valid point regarding people being reluctant to acknowledge their addiction. It's a major step and frequently veiled in dread and denial.

Things can begin to change, though gradually, when others close to the addicted person step up, show up, and engulf them in a cocoon of support. No, it's not a short procedure; it's sensitive, progressive, and slow. The addict may begin to understand the effects of their addiction. And you're right; that's where the magic happens. the gradual recognition, acceptance, and movement towards change. All of it is slow, but it is very necessary

It's possible that the initial modifications and shifts will not be noticeable. But these little adjustments can begin to grow into something more, something transforming, with constant love, support, and encouragement. Change is not only possible; it is probable with the proper people and the right support. It is a journey, a long and winding road
