We agree that when addicted to gambling, it will be difficult to stop. Gambling addiction is like addiction to cigarettes and alcohol. Players will find ways to satisfy that need. But no matter how addicted we are, let's set limits for ourselves. Let's bet on the money we win and be ready to lose it. People with a firm stance, even if they are addicted to gambling, will not let gambling addiction affect their work, relationships, or even family. Always take responsibility for your actions. Know that the behavior is not correct.

If the reason is to make money and make gambling a source of income, of course that is the main reason people are addicted to gambling, but if people gamble because they have reasons to seek entertainment and enjoy the game then obviously they will not be addicted because changing their mindset to be healthy will help them play responsibly.

Mindset has an important role in self-regulation and control so that you don't get caught up in addiction, that's why there are always valid reasons why people have to gamble, why should you gamble if you want to find a source of income and income while just working we can get that right, after all isn't gambling actually created just for fun. I think people forget about that so playing is irresponsible

If they can still control themselves while playing gambling, they certainly will not try to chase victory even though they already have it, especially those who have won several times. Gambling can attract many people's attention to test their luck and skills, but they must realize that gambling is entertainment that should not be overused.

And the main purpose of gambling is not to make money but just to have fun and as soon as they get it, they should stop. If not, they can experience many losses, resulting in losing their money. And if the money is lost at the gambling table, they will find it difficult to recover. So we have to be responsible when playing gambling and not get out of control.

This is absolutely true, but I believe that there will be no dependence if you clearly establish for yourself how much money you can lose today. Of course, self-control is an individual trait of each person, but I think that it should work for the majority. I also think that people come to the casino not only for money. For many, this is just a fun pastime with the opportunity to earn adrenaline. And such people are hardly set to earn money, rather to tickle the nerves. There is no doubt that casinos know this, and they want such people to become addicted, so as you correctly noticed - the casino has nice pictures and a fun interface. But if you are strict with yourself, they will not be able to get you.

A gambler's main objective for gambling is to make money. The fun part comes later. The addictive ingredients in gambling comes from the chemical release of feel-good and feel -high hormones in the body of the gambler which are both reactions to his thoughts and then the casino games lights, graphics, sounds and all. You can still gamble responsibly at this point but then once you spend more than enough time here, that's the beginning of your addiction journey.

Great point you made here mate,  because an addict,  no matter the efforts of the external persons he/she will always do what he finds pleasure in,  I use to have a friend back then as an undergraduate student, who was addicted to gambling and as a student he was always running out of funds despite being the highest monthly incentive from family earner sometime he will use his school fees to gamble and when he becomes so depressing for him,  he will come out and seek for help to avoid gambling sometimes he will take positive steps toward recovering,  but along the line, he will slide back into his addictions again.

This made us to realize that he as an individual wasn't ready to get out of the mess situation he was in,  because when gambling without limit,  it then means that he can gamble everything away such an individual won't have anything to his name.

Well here the issue of addiction is always something delicate, for drugs I think it destroys the person much faster than an addiction in the game, I have seen cases of drug addicts and it is quite strong, because for people the detoxification process is something that It looks like a nightmare, it's something very ugly, why do they go crazy, scream and everything, it's something that looks like a nightmare, it seems to me in particular that it's much easier to treat someone addicted to casinos or gambling unsportsmanlike, something like that, because drug addiction is true and there is rehabilitation, but considering that when these things are treated well, a number of medications have to be given, sometimes the person is tied up so that out of desperation they do not try to kill yourself or something, I think it's easier to treat gaming addiction.

Gambling addiction can be dealt with in various ways, and one is by doing sport, keeping the person busy doing other types of activities, the same isms can help, making the person live other things, it is known that it is also very difficult, but the rehabilitation process could be said to be healthier or easier than that of a drug addict, in fact I would dare despite the fact that it is easier to treat a gambling addiction than that of a person who is also an alcoholic, that is something I think it can be done, however when we review some cases of people who are addicted to gambling, other consequences can quickly arise, people get into debt, start doing things they shouldn't, get into trouble, then they make the problem Or they deal with it in a very quiet way and sometimes I think that's dangerous too.

I consider that all addiction is dangerous, be it gambling, drugs, alcohol, or any other, because it tries and goes directly to what a person can bear, and how much he is able to resist it, that is where a person is put to the test In every sense, then any addiction is always good to treat it as urgently as possible.

Yeah, you are right; some gamblers just have it in the back of their minds to gamble and have fun, but later they can lose control of themselves and develop bad habits that make them never gamble responsibly. Gambling is something that catches your attention and triggers you to gamble more.

You are very right, it is commonly said that all work and no play makes jack a dull boy, most of us work hard everyday to earn or make money, so i personally believe that its not out of place for us to some times, spend some of that money on something that make us happy, happiness is an important part of being alive and if anyone finds that pleasure and happiness in gambling, i personally support that such person should do it from time to time.

But then again like you rightly said, doing something like gambling consistently for several years, or a very long period of time without care can sure lead to not just addiction to gambling, but also a very frustrated life, both in family, health, and most especially, finances, so yeah, who ever is gambling should always do it responsibly, gambling can be fun, most especially the trill that winning a game or gamble gives, but doing it too much and out of self control can also be very detrimental to oneself.

It can only be implemented by a small number of gamblers, while other gamblers cannot do it but instead end up becoming addicted to gambling. At first, they feel pleasure from gambling but don't control their gambling correctly, so it turns into wanting to play gambling continuously. Even though they don't have more money than other people, they will just run out of all money, and it's true that in playing this gambling, they must be able to become responsible gamblers so they don't experience big losses. And everything can only be controlled by learning self-control so that they are controlled not by gambling but by themselves.

Despite this clear advise towards gambling and gamblers, it is imperative that people will always incline themselves to what they find pleasure and passion in doing. Gambling may start as fun but consistency and persistence might turn it into an addiction. If for any reason you have to gamble, gamble responsibly.

Both are addicted to somethings,the common way of addiction was due to the loss or the good feelings from the drugs.If they want to stop the addiction,which is possible with the practice.In my country people use the chewing gum to get away from the smoking.So like wise people use to eat more good foods to get away from the drinking habits.Like wise,gambling addiction can be solved by using the gun shooting games.Some people only get addiction playing game on free time.If they choose the gambling as the free time game,it may leads to addiction.Once he switch the gambling to normal game like shooting game,he surely get out from the gambling.It help for him to get away from the gambling and some of the gambling loss.

Not only just limited to gambling but also in other things as well on which you could really make out that good assessment and able to identify out on whats good and whats bad and this is why

its always been that ideal that you should really know on how to deal up with gambling in the first place. You wont really be putting up yourself on much trouble specially on finances if you do have that kind of control on which from spending until into that engagement which needs out to be limited. If you are that someone who could really be able to distinguish between good and bad in terms of gambling then you are unlikely on getting addicted on which its a must thing to have. Most people do fail on following out even with their common sense on how things
should be dealt of with. If you dont find yourself that responsible then you are really that susceptible into lots of errors on which it would really be resulting into that disaster in terms of finances.

Yup, having that balance will divert your attentions and will help you not to really get into a deep engagement with gambling, unlike if you don't have any other activities your mindset is all focused on what you need to do or what strategy you should have to win from each gambling session that you participate with.

Being responsible means that you can control both your time and money, with that capabilities you can enjoy but yet lessen the chance of losing a lot.

because we are here discussing being a responsible gambler, so keeping yourself productive is the best solution to avoid the possibility of becoming a gambling addict, when you have other activities, your focus will be divided into several parts so that when you forget the time while gambling, automatically that activity will become your shield.  doing work-outs, hobbies or doing work is the best way to fill your busy life amidst the influence of gambling, and don't forget to continue to hone your money management skills in gambling, no one passes above that.

Yes, that's right because gambling addicts are not like drug addicts where they usually will not be able to recover even with professional encouragement or rehab, if it doesn't come from himself having the desire to stop gambling will be difficult even getting encouragement from family and friends will be very difficult because I have friends like that is very difficult to cure because his behavior and habit of gambling knows no time.

There are those who really recover and there are also those who reduce their gambling habits by changing their healthy mindset, as long as there is an intention within themselves to stop it can definitely be done and it is not difficult, just a little correction from your statement that drug addicts who leave rehab can recover, even though the fact is There are still those who can become addicted to drugs again after leaving rehab, so they cannot fully recover completely if they are not accompanied by intention within themselves.

I think this is one of the solutions that they can do in terms of avoiding or reducing the level of addiction in it, but can they put aside their selfish feelings? I think maybe this is quite difficult for those who are used to gambling and they have to force themselves a little to add some other activities to save them from some big losses for the umpteenth time. And I've also said this before, it's necessary to add some other activities in our daily lives so that our brains and minds are a little distracted. If you get used to some of these new habits and you feel that they are very enjoyable, well if you are already in this position then I think it is very likely that you will be able to get out of gambling addiction.
But it's true as you said, everything comes back to each person, if you really want to stop then you will do anything including various ways that allow you to get out of gambling.

If a person is too much free and he has not much responsibility on his shoulder, only then he has extra  time and he spend most of his time in activities like gambling. Also, when there is no responsibility on anyone, he must be one having good amount of money which he spends upon gambling.

One needs to first know his interest, priorities and then try to engage themselves in activities other than gambling. This can only be done if one is willing to get rid of gambling addiction and docs to gamble responsibly.

I think that among the activities that can effectively distract gamblers who are already on the verge of gambling addiction, first of all, it is worth noting some kind of educational programs or even small refresher courses in some completely different field of human activity.  For example, some classes in the study of nature or animals.  All these programs are best done in such a way that there is less access to the computer, only the most necessary to know.  In the ideal case, this could be some kind of outdoor activity in nature or in the pool.  And so on. 

But such simple methods of distraction from gambling work only when the player has not yet completely turned into a gambling addict.

Yes, it works, even experts affirm this as adding activities would take your mind off the addiction as you might have little or no time for it in the day. But one thing you will need to ascertain is the productivity of that added activities, if they are not productive, you might be quick to disengage them. More spare time adds to the reason why people are addicted to gambling, generally to online activities, but with productive engagement, that will reduce, while some will not even know the time they will forget it. And of course, if they are willing, it helps better.
