It's easier to get addicted to online gambling, but I recently met someone who said that he isn't even aware that he was an addict until his blood brother told him that he is going too deep into gambling.

He said that he screamed to him to wake up scarily, he said his brother is his savior, but I replied to him that he is someone who listened, most gambling addicts that I have came across have closed ears, they won't listen to you when you try to warn them or advice them.

Have you meet gamblers that are going way too deep into addiction and you try to stop them and they listen? I've never accomplished that before.

They always behaved deaf, like some spiritual power is in control.

I thought this is literally speaking about deafness due to some ear disability or being affected because of such gambling activity knowing that most of us nowadays when we are on a pc which we do really have those head phones and i do thought that this was the cause but well i was wrong and for sure there are people who had though the same thing. Grin

Speaking about having that rejecting or ignoring advises around you and when someone is telling you that you are already doing that much with gambling or simply considered to be addict.Then you should
really make up some realizations that you should really be stopping along the way because people wont really be telling something if they do saw that you are really still that in good control towards yourself.

People would usually be quitting or stopping gambling or something when they do really come into a situation on which everything is already that been affected. I have known someone
in my friends ending up with addiction but i didnt bother on giving up some advises since its his money then i dont really like on being scolded out that i shouldnt really be trying out to show off some concern
or just simply minding off my own business.

My friend your title is very misleading and the original post doesn't contain anything related to deafness. Deafness is a physical disability and I don't think that gambling could cause deafness in anyone even if they are absolute addicts. The gamblers often avoid those people who try to stop them from gambling activity and that doesn't makes them deaf. Those gamblers can hear all the words of the one who is trying to show them the bad nature of gambling. They avoid those people intentionally because they can't stop themselves from gambling.

I have seen such gamblers who would never listen to anyone even if the one who is trying to stop them is their own biological father. The gamblers are so addicted into it that they will spend a lot of money on it and they don't care even if they lose everything. They aren't deaf or anything else but have no self-discipline to avoid gambling activities. The addicts will leave the addiction if something more interesting than gambling becomes part of their life. Other than that they won't listen anyone and will continue their gambling activities without any fear or regret.

- Well, with other gamblers they actually do that. Even though their friends and relatives warn them, they turn a deaf ear and still do what they want to gamble.

So the other people, they just let them in their inclined gambling because they see that their warning to them is ignored. The reminder they heard goes in the right ear and out the left. This is really the effect when gambling becomes an addiction or vice to them.

Addiction is more powerful than you think my friend, maybe you would really have to agree with me that addiction is a spirit, it lives in and controls the mind of its victim, and where it becomes even worst is if the mind of the victim is weaker and can not think on its own and counter some of the things the addicting spirit is telling it to do, this is where the whole deafness thing comes into play, the gambler in real sense is not actually deaf, and neither does he or she don't want to listing to advices coming from friend and relative, its just that the victim have other voices speaking to him or her, and those voices seems more powerful and is in Control, and the victim have not the mental ability to say no to it.

This is exactly what is happening that the ordinary eyes cannot see, and some minds find difficult to comprehend either.

When I first read your subject, I thought that something new is discovered about gambling addiction but later when I read more details, I laughed at your sarcasm. You're right on the spot on this analysis. Not only does gambling addiction make you deaf, it also steals the power of your mind to understand right or wrong.

The gambler addiction fails to recognize that they are doing wrong and if someone tries to give them advice, they tend to be unhappy with them, and depending upon who has advised them, they may start misbehaving with them. Sometimes I feel that arguing with gambling addicted people is like yelling at a deaf person.

Gamblers are afraid of being judged by others. Therefore, they do not want to accept help from other people and do not recognize their dependence. Gamblers seek to maintain control over their lives and do not want to depend on the help of others. If you want to help your loved one get rid of the game addiction, then never give up. The gambler will have to accept your help sooner or later.

One question is does gamblers really seek to maintain control over their lives? If so, we cannot see gamblers being addicted to gambling. Gamblers just don't want to be blamed or give time to people who are judgemental about their activities being bad, Aside from that, gambling addict don't want to be disturbed when they are in the state of gambling nor they wanted to be stopped since gambling addict already lost their control and succumbed to the urge of gambling.

Which is true, they will not bother to listen as addiction already dominates inside their brain, they will continue what they think is good for them, most of the time they only hear what they want and they will just disregard any other things that will not fit to their interest, the only thing that might let them think if they already lost everything and they already seek help in resolving their problems, not all can realize that as regrets always happen at the end of the line.

I think that evil spiritualistic forces have nothing to do with it. It is rather a feature of human psychology - to be blind to your habits. We cannot live without social evaluation, such is our human nature. And if a person closes himself in, he does not see his degradation. For example, most single men at an older age stop taking care of themselves or cleaning the apartment properly.

Gambling is even worst - it makes a habit in weak-willed people, which quickly destroys this person if no one tells him that it's time to end it. Only a few people can say - I really got into a bad situation, I need to work on myself. At this moment, you need to admit that you were losing, admit that now it can't go on like this. Also recognize that you will always have the habit of playing in the casino, and you need to be careful.

Well, some of them actually listen and try to leave it but they can barely do that because just like this person whose brother saved him, they get too deep into it that they find it difficult to get out. Those who acknowledge that they are in a situation from where they must get out will take a helping hand coming towards them but those who don't think they are addicted would never accept it.

The ones who don't even accept that they are addicted can never be helped and that basically becomes the cause for them to ruin their lives and the lives of their loved ones too because they are not ready to leave their addiction but instead consider it not to be a problem.

Yes among those who are addicted there are those who really do not realize that they are addicted, however controlling it is quite difficult even though the family reminds him, no matter how hard they will not listen, but I think it returns to the character of the person himself, if the person is stubborn it will be very It's hard to make it aware.

The situation is indeed worse, but I don't think it's can not to help, but it's hard to help because it has a narrow understanding. It might even be worse, those who realize it but cannot control their own drivers.

I think it only happens to a narrow -minded gambler and wants money easily from gambling, in contrast to those of us who only make gambling places to play to look for pleasure alone without regard to winning or losing, so that they have awareness in forming financial management or have a limit in gambling .

Quote from: Z390 on June 16, 2023, 06:25:11 AM

It's easier to avoid advice from your live ones when you see people making live changing money through gambling, telling them not to gamble is like telling them not to make it in life, so them won't listen anyway.

We shouldn't stop to advice them if they are friends or family because we don't expect them listen to us, you might never know, and if truly you care for them, keep the advice alive and if they are smart, they will understand in time that you are doing this because you care about them.

That might be a good concern step, but I think it will be useless if his addiction is severe he will be more deaf than deaf people, I think that can stop it when he can't make money and himself, and maybe you can help manage his finances, rehabilitation becomes A better advice to handle cases like this.

This happened to my friend and until now I still advise him but it hasn't worked because after listening to my advice he keeps doing it again, but sometimes my advice makes him annoyed and angry, which actually I just feel sorry for him, because the money he makes is very important to him .
and finally i got bored and i let him be like that, because when he wins he is good and also royal. And I think there will come a time when an addict will stop, because it all depends on the intention and if the intention is real it will definitely work. At least it can reduce addiction, because if there is no real intention to give any advice, nothing will work.

Turning a deaf ears in gambling does not have to necessarily have the gambler with the deformity of a blocked ear, such gambler will not just listen to every positive advise to help his gambling experience or career in life because they think they know the best and stands not to be corrected, alot of people found under this category had been left out without much effort on them for change unless they personally wish to.

People who are enjoying what they do tend to close their senses to advice and reminders. We can compare it to a person who is in love. Despite all the advice of people around him/her because of the red flags and negative things that people can see, that person is blinded and just focus on what he/she feels. Same with gambling, a person isn't willing to listen if he likes gambling and has a deeper goal to achieve. He is not open to any corrections and advice because he focuses on what makes him happy.
However, it will not last long because once he encounters a failure, he will then realize his mistake of not listening to good reminders. If we have these kinds of friends and loved ones, I hope we wouldn't get tired of reminding them of what the right thing to do is. They may not listen to us but at least, we are doing our part.

It's like my friend, let alone the advice of friends, his wife and children he doesn't even listen to, that's why being a bad addict is difficult to cure, therefore addicts can be a reflection for us as gamblers so we don't play gambling too much, because if we can't controlling it of course will ruin everything and easy to lose money even family.

I always make myself aware when I play too much, at least there is an alarm for me to stop gambling so I don't gamble too much, that's why it's important for my family to always be able to remind us when I'm too far into gambling because without them I can't control myself. don't let our friends play too far, always remind them before they become addicts.

This seems to be in a fairly acute condition and conditions like this in my opinion are not a matter of him not being able to stop but indeed not wanting to stop gambling. regardless of whether it is addicted or not this will obviously not be easy because indeed in this case he does not want to stop gambling even though he has been reminded by the closest family.
This is what makes things worse because even this will not be cured even if it is brought to the expert because the gambler seems to refuse and still wants to do gambling.
Now with something like this, the only way is how he realizes because that's what makes him able to come back, as long as he doesn't realize then he will certainly reject all forms of efforts that make him stop gambling.

It's strange to associate deafness with gambling when it's much more likely to be triggered by other causes. I find it hard to think of a scenario where somebody could be playing casino type games for that long and at that high of a volume that it would cause this to occur. It definitely made me think of the trigger noises that casino's often use to keep players alert and chasing "reward" type sounds as they are playing along. There might be some bigger issue at fault though if someone is so focused that they're blocking out external sounds.

We are talking again about addiction. Why we don`t talking about millions of gamblers without problem? Why we get restrictions due to these ill people? It is awful situation as for me. We can`t gamble without problems, we can buy medicament due to drug addicts, etc. The main part of people haven`t any problems with gambling or probably drugs, but we all suffers due to this small part of us.

Because its still destructive behavior and restrictions maybe made just to aid up other non addicted gambler also to new one to came at this point. I really understand why government do some harsh actions towards it since somehow gambling addiction can harm anyone especially when they think about doing crimes just to earn money to spend.

Better not to take it seriously and follow those people who's expert on this case since for sure they already see the worst of it and maybe we don't experience that so I guess they are just working base on the experiences they encounter from those people who's been in worst situation on their gambling habits.
