Can someone add additional activities to reduce their addiction or gambling habits, maybe it will be useful and help addicts reduce their addiction to gambling, maybe it's the right thing to do, and come back to those who do it have the desire to get rid of it addicted or not, if he doesn't have the determination inside it is also very difficult to get rid of his gambling habit, even though we advise him they will ignore our words, so in my opinion it is better to advise people who want to be advised by others, then it will be useful for him we alone..

I agree with you and all forms of addiction, be it gambling or anything else, can never have a positive impact so there will only be bad or negative impacts that can be caused by each individual.
Winning at gambling is the beginning of ruin, especially for those who are not yet a gambling addict, so they can gradually wait until it is time for them to become addicted.
Of the many gambling addicts, I have never seen the positive side, even in terms of finance and psychology, they are different from normal people because financially they will definitely experience bankruptcy and regarding the psychology of an addict usually causes emotional feelings and difficult to give the right advice or instructions.
So great is the impact of gambling addiction, but there are still many people who are not aware of and don't care about things like that because they already have thoughts that are not normal anymore.
After all, how much money the gambling addict earns from winning will eventually run out with nothing left as the money returns to an impossible-to-beat house edge.

It will be more difficult to cure a gambling addict than to cure a drug addict because for drug addicts it is clear that there is rehabilitation and a separate method that has proven to be effective in healing them.

Money is nothing more than fuel for an addiction, it is because of this that among celebrities the number of deaths related to drugs is so high, as a regular person would have reached rock bottom a long time ago but celebrities are so rich they can get away with all kind of negative behaviors.

So by the time they try to do something about their addiction it is simply too late and they end up paying the highest price, so in a way the lack of money of the average person gives them a slight protection and it forces them to realize their addiction problems earlier.

Addiction, be it gambling or any other, can't give positive results. If by "positive results" you mean winning some money, then it's even worse. A gambling addict winning a big amount only becomes more addicted to gambling. It's horrible. No money will help you to live happily then. Well, if the money were spent on expensive therapy, it could help. But other than that it's a tragedy.

I think its a misconception on your part to assume that addicts cant live without whatever they are addicted to, it is more proper to say that they cant feel relaxed when ever they are yet to satisfy their addiction, if it was possible for addicts not to live without what ever they are addicted in, we did find many of them drop dead immediately the urge of their addiction comes and they do not satisfy it immediately, its just like a normal human being cant do without breathing, and once they seize to breath and there is no immediate remedy around, be sure that such person will die in a couple of minutes .
So addictions, whether it be gambling or sex or alcohol, drugs or smoking, all causes nothing but stress, when the urge comes and its not satisfied, it doesn't cause anyone to drop dead, else, we will not see people who testify of coming out from addiction successfully.

Sorry but i will have to disagree with you again, the worst addiction is that one which damages the  victim health, Brain and general ability to live long and also live in good health, smoking, drugs, alcohol, sex all does that, a gambling addict can still live to the fullest of his life cycle if he or she knows how well to manage his or her addiction, but for those who are addicted to drugs, alcohol, women and smoking, there is no two ways to manage and keep such addiction from negatively affecting the victims health .

Young people with big curiosity will make them learn about things they want to know, including about gambling, by trying to start gambling. At first, maybe they only gambled with a small amount of money, but because of the influence of their friends who had a lot of money, they finally followed the invitation and in the end, they sank into gambling. That is why the role of parents and other siblings is needed to look after each other and supervise so that if there are deviations from family members, they can immediately help them.

And yes, specialist assistance is certainly needed when the family feels unable to help people who are addicted to gambling but still, the role of the family is needed here to accompany the gambling addict to recover from his gambling addiction. Otherwise, it is difficult for a gambling addict to recover because he feels alone fighting his gambling addiction. But as long as that person can play gambling responsibly in that they can stop themselves at any time and are not affected by anything when they stop, they can still gamble within limits.

Well, we all know that things when it comes to casinos, we will always have access, from the internet, from our phone's browser, there will always be ways for us to look for them and find them ready for us, however when we have enough willpower Things can happen as we want and at the pace we want, it is no longer so much over the internet or through a casino app, we can also run into a casino on the street and there are easily dice games, roulette wheels, slot machines, which can make us access without having to be in an online medium, it all depends on what we have as a priority.

In any of the cases where we interact in a casino and have an addiction problem, it is obvious that we will never be able to stop overnight, we have to do it little by little, everything is in the quality of the things that we want, it is In other words, the things that we may want to overcome depends on ourselves, but since any person, friends or relatives have access to the casinos, to sports betting, it is well known that the player can make any bet, the important thing is that It can be controlled so that you do not lose all your money , and more so when the money that is there is committed to basic things, this is what every player must commit to.

In the case that the player has a family , children , and has to take home the livelihood, I believe that the problem of addiction should disappear immediately , because how can you explain to the children that because of playing in a casino a game he has lost the money that is for them to eat, how do they look at that, or his wife who spent the money for her expenses irresponsibly in a casino , that is minimal for an endless fight and with good reason, where You will never be able to win it for anything in the world, so when things are like tha t, the degree of Responsibility of the person must be taken into Consideration.

You made a very good point in your opinion. When someone is addicted to smoking or alcoholism, their weak point is the smoke or the alcohol they take. When someone is addicted to drug and if there is no drug, the addiction can be cured.
But someone being addicted to gambling is chasing money and we know that money is a very big necessity in our daily endeavours, and the testing of money will lead to greed even when you make the money, you will always want more of the money that is why gambling addiction is different and dangerous than the other ones mentioned above.

I also think that people with this type of problem have to seek help quickly, 'because although it sounds like a minor problem, when people have an addiction they tend to do things that harm themselves and in turn can harm to others with their behaviors and their ways of acting, for that reason is that when I play I always control what I spend, I don't spend more than I want because if it doesn't my things get out of balance, and I live in a place where The rent and the services cannot fail , if I start playing uncontrollably I would lose that money and that is worse , people should always think about their obligations before Putting so much money.

It is not easy to stop something after being am addict because of the long time effect and the urge to do the thing more and more without weighing the effect it could have later. Just like a drug addict you've just mentioned, same can be attributed to a gambler that is an addict and does not have the right tools to help home to quench his thirt for gambling.
Gambling is good but when it is excessive, it is bad and nit good for an healthy gambler that want the best from gambling.
 One of the consequences of gambling too much can be very brutal if the person does not look for a remedy to stop the urge of gambling always.

Talk about any addiction whether it be drugs, sex or gambling, it is that the person like that activity too much that he can't live without it and this make him addicted to this. People who are addicted have no control over themselves to refrain from those activities and therefore we can them addicted.

Coming to gambling ,the addiction is far more as there is an urge to get more money and this make the addiction even stronger. Anyone who is an alcoholic addict's, only need to drink and smoke etc, but a gambler have greediness in mind which makes it even more dangerous and hard to overcome.

A drug addict will always find new excuses to consume drugs. Just like that any addict, it doesn’t matter what he is addicted to, we’ll find a way to get back in his addiction. I generally have seen some people stop their addiction because they were somehow facing some problems because of their addiction. The people who are smart stay away from those things. People who are careful, stops the addiction as soon as it starts harming them. However, those who lack sagacity or struggle to exert control over their own cognitive faculties find themselves perpetually ensnared by their compulsions. It is true for both drugs and gambling. And those people who understand very well that they are harming themselves by doing so, I have zero sympathy for them. If you cannot control what you are doing, it is your fault, learn to take accountability.

The issue of gambling addicts is large, it's positive to some and negative to others, it's the second set that is feeling the brunt and needs help. I will never support anything that is affecting anyone negatively and the person still doing it, people should always observe themselves and try to shun or reduce anything that seems to retard them. In gambling, desperation is the main cause of addiction, they would want to win by all means, and the more they lose, the more they either believe that there is hope to win or are emotional to try to recover back their losses.

Either way, when you know that you are betting and increasing risk and still losing, you might want to take a break. And if you know you can't control this, you should share it with people or get extra help as you might have been so addicted to the extent that you'd crossed the red line.

All this applies to a very large extent to fairly young people and, of course, to adolescents.  In this case, there really should be some control on the part of parents or older brothers.  Because of course such a young person may become addicted to gambling and may even begin to experience an irresistible desire to gamble more and more.  So what you said is important for young people. 

If we talk about a person who is a middle-aged or even older gambler, then I think that such methods of control and assistance will most likely not help a person effectively get rid of gambling addiction.  Of course, this is very difficult for family members and for the player himself, but I think that the help of specialists is still required here, that is, those people who know well how all family members and the player himself should behave in order to recover from such a gambling addiction.

With the various facilities that we have today, it seems that gambling addicts also find it easy to channel their desire to play gambling so that only by using their smartphones they can visit their favorite casinos to play gambling. He can play gambling in public places without anyone knowing about it.

This problem becomes more complicated when the gambling addict does not want to tell what he is doing with his smartphone or computer and just stays silent in his room with the excuse that he is doing something. This requires the family's participation to approach family members one by one to find out if everything is really okay. And if one of them seems unwell, other family members can immediately help solve the problem. And when they are not yet a gambling addict, they should stay within their limits so that when they play gambling, they can still be responsible and know when to stop gambling.

Btw I immediately looked for that article
and indeed the point is as discussed earlier, no matter how much we say self-control is important everything will feel different when gambling enters a much more intense phase.
I've experienced this in some circumstances and as a result I've gone off the path that I've set as my boundaries.

I consider this my shortcoming in exercising good self-control but hey when we're only human then greed occasionally gets the better of us and I've done that too.
Even if it becomes a bad thing but of course this will also be a good experience so that we can make some good steps for ourselves because theory is just a theory and there can be new experiences that come out of the context of the theory we learnt.

If addictions were already difficult to overcome before the internet became and integral part of our lives now this is even harder thanks to the internet, and this is not only a problem with gambling as now online casinos are everywhere and they follow you no matter where you go if you have a smartphone.

But this is even the case with drugs which can be easily accessed on the black markets or even on social media, and unless a person is completely convinced about trying to leave their life as an addicted person behind, then they will always find a way to go back to their former habits.

The problem in the case of limiting the gambling addict's access to gambling is quite difficult.  Such a player himself constantly comes up with an obsessive thought that he needs to play and win back a loss or win and rejoice. 
Not all people who are addicted to gambling are able to overcome themselves and at least temporarily, for example, for a week or two, simply do not turn on the computer at all.  But if such a person turns on the computer, this already means that he will go to a site with a gambling game.  And of course keep playing.  So the difficulty of the situation lies in overcoming this first step.  In my example, this is turning on the computer.

If you can execute that and you are good in controlling your emotions being responsible is indeed coming inside you, I personally agree that setting up limitations and maintaining everything according to your plan will not allow you to get addicted or to engage that much, there are people who have a good experienced that capable to set this type of limits and even they sometime got carried away by emotions they will just take it as a loss that day and move forward.

Addiction is always behind you when you are into this activity, a single mistake can be duplicated if you will follow your emotions, but if you stay with your plans and follow all the limitations that you made, then there's nothing wrong and you will manage both time and finances while enjoying your sessions.

We need to take responsibility of our lives and decide what is good for us, little did I know that there is social media scrolling addiction if not as you have mentioned. Living an extra spending live could be the reason that people remain poor and not that they do not make enough money to be rich.
Anything you do that takes much part of your life, you have the right to review and reexamine it and see if it is worth or not. Responsible gambling is the duty of everyone.
