I'm not addicted to gambling. However, I think spending time with friends and family or having travelling for a week or two can derive someone from gambling. I would try that.

Then you are out from in this list who have serious problem of addiction of gambling. But it is good know that you are not addicted to gambling. I always tell it that gambling is not harmful, if we are not addicted of it. In this wise, gambling give us fun and entertainment, but only for those people who start to play gambling in this sense to get fun from it and spend a good time with gambling.

That's actually a solution in itself already though. Keep yourself busy by going outside and exploring. You may still find that itch to gamble when you're outside but eventually your attention will be somewhere else. It's really difficult if you're just stuck at home while you're trying to find solutions about your gambling ways. I know someone who got addicted to climbing mountains instead while trying to remove his gambling addictions.

I never personally encountered someone who is seriously addicted to gambling, just some occasional bettors/players. But I heard stories from a friend whom gamblers approach to borrow some money because they lost. I've watched also some documentaries on therapies, do they really work?

There are some very sad stories about addicted people. In some casinos the house offers meals for the gamblers. So there are people who stay there playing all day long, and they can have lunch, dinner and snacks between the main meals.
And it gets worse, as there are even very comfortable couches and pillows, so the gamblers can sleep there without being necessary to go home. If the gamblers feel enchanted by these "benefits", they tend to become much more addicted.

With that scenario, a person will be binded with gambling if he will felt comfort in their custody as they enjoyed the services given. But I don't think they can move out from that system, because as they move in closes to gambling companionship, eventually they'll became much more addicted. In order to overcome that, it's better to minimize the involvement so that it wouldn't be worst after all.

Well, there are reasons why he is still there more than a day non-stop. It can be because he has won much on that game and that's why he kept playing, or maybe he is a wealth person with a big capital to play and he haven't run out of his money yet.

Of course, there are a lot people out there are needing a help, but in this case I can't say he needs a help because we don't know exactly what happened there.

A help should be done with experts on that field. Imagine a doctor in veterenary will going to do a surgery on human being then Is it possible? Will you agree if this will hapoen to you? Of course if one has been found needing a help then one should not hesistate to ask for an advise to the experts.

Yet, there are also good remedies on addiction and eplxperts suggested by giving one his/her favorite pet and see how he/she will interact to the pet and forget addiction.

If there's a will then there's a way, addictions can be overcome with your self surrendering, admitting and willingly be treated by the help of experts will shortened the process, you have to commit yourself and allow the process to be completed, at that point you'll be able to practice new things that will be away from your gambling activities.

Gambling addiction is a serious problem. It can ruin your life and take away everything from you, money, property, career, etc. It's a difficult problem gamblers can face. Some people ends up bankrupt and with debt but still urges to gamble. Take note, no matter how hard other people helps you with gambling problem, the initiative must start with your self.

Yes, someone can be addicted to gambling because they are very ambitious to get a big profit in other words they are fiercely relying on gambling for their income, so they will be willing to do anything to be able to gamble every time. Indeed, there will be nothing to get rid of their addiction in gambling, the only person who can stop them from gambling is just himself with a strong determination to fight dependence on gambling.

That is true. Gambling addiction cannot be fought alone. The only true way is to talk about it to friends and family and ask professional help. The casino will not care, it just wants your money. The addicted person also should be aware that he is addicted and should also desire and want to get helped from professionals.

I agree, the casino won't bother to help because they will benefit from the money that person is betting. The only problem here is that if the person who is addicted to gambling that much will listen to the advise of his/her family or from professionals, most people I know who are addicted won't listen to any advises because from their point of view is it nothing out of the norm, it is very important that the person who is addicted to gambling should have self awareness to fixed his addiction because if he is not aware that he is already addicted then the efforts to help him even from professionals will be useless.

Each and every individual becomes responsible when they gamble because they gamble by their choice. Some do for enjoyment and rest do just because they want to make quick and easy money considering it as a source of income.

Whoa. So that means he didn't even went home? That is just sad. He's so addicted that he cannot even focus in himself anymore. He already lacks self-control and self-help which is so important in order to avoid gambling. I hope that guy still has family and friends. They should talk to him and let him do other activities that will draw his attention away from gambling. And I also hope that the company will also do something about it because he's their employee and he still contributes to the company's growth somehow. Lastly, I hope he still recovers from that addiction. I guess he's missing life too much already.

Self awareness is the most practical way to save us from gambling addiction,help from others are the next step only because we need to decide to stop gambling then only its possible to be stopped.Then it is more important to get help from professional rather than from family circle because each person will say different solutions it will still make the addicted person to be more confused.

I recently heard a story about Gambling addicts from a worker who works as a manager on the floor. They are the ones who check and manages tables, and they are the one to approve different kinds of transactions there.

Anyways, it's about a person who is an addict who isn't going anywhere. He said that in his shift, let's say it's the morning shift, he saw the person there, playing. Nothing out of the ordinary, but when my friend says he is going out of his shift, he is still there, the player, so, at that time, it's quite okay because it's just almost 8 hours. When he came back the next day, that same guy with the same clothes is still there.

Just a reminder that there are people who really need help, but not interested in helping themselves.

I also heard a lot of stories about addicted gamblers, and also i have seen their end. I will not go far, because my brother who has become addicted gambler and he has wasted his all money and assets in gambling and also his life has been destroyed, his wife left him and now he is living alone with his empty hands. I feel sad whenever i discuses about him, and instead of it he never leave gambling, still he is playing with borrow money. To see him, i realize there is no solution for addicted gambler, and also they can't change themselves.
I am also gambler but why me and he have difference? because i am not addicted gambler, i play it to see my pocket firstly and if i have limited money then i don't like to play.

Gambling addiction always has a bad impact on the lives of those who live it, everything he thinks if he already has an addiction in gambling, anything he can do without thinking much better for the future, not even a few people who are addicted to gambling can be left by people who they love, but it can't give them a deterrent effect. someone who has an extreme addiction to gambling can certainly lose everything but if he can't change his attitude to try to leave gambling gradually his addiction can be more severe than before because one of the entertainment he can visit is gambling itself.

I’ve heard many stories like this who keeps on gambling until one day they realized that their are already broke. Its hard to help those people who gave up already and those who still want to play despite of being broke.

Yes, stories on gambling addiction and gambling problems are keep on repeating here but we are not finding any improvement among gambler's behaviors on avoiding gambling addictions. People are discussing the dangers of gambling addiction seriously but it seems they are not following them in their real gambling life. It may be due to the reason of they are taking these discussions lightly and having more confident on themselves from not getting addicted but they are experiencing complete different things.

Quote from: Dreamchaser21 on January 14, 2019, 06:26:12 AM

We should control ourself if we don’t want to be broke, know that gambling is too good on making you addict, keep everything in your control and not the casinos who controls you.

Due to the excitement that we are experiencing from gambling, we are unconsciously switching over the control into gambling houses and then easily getting addicted. Emotion failures are another big reason why gamblers are getting addicted. We should be within our control all the time so that we can avoid these problems.

I agree, this is the main reason why there are some people are already addicted in gambling, because they want to win. If they experience some winning and they hoping that they will win again, therefore they are already addicted. Before you go gamble first of all just think well, and control yourself how to avoid a long playing or you should manage your self.

I just feel that there are still many gamblers who have issues with self-control, some are over excited with the game and they find it difficult to either pause or quit the game especially when there is record or making profits in the game or when the player happens to be lucky.

It is good to always want to win in gambling but as a gambler be at least sure that you can overcome the urge because in gambling, one can win once and then we are tempted to play again, and if we are not careful, those attempts in trying to play all over can lead to addiction. It is that self-control and discipline that will enable to say no to play again, so that gambling addiction can be controlled.

Thank God we haven't been able to reach to that point, we still eat and sleep at the right time, we change our clothes on a daily basis and we are at our own selves. That man you are talking is beyond comparable to us. I believe that anything that extreme are bad to us, that guy should get help soon as there is a hard time going back if someones get insane in gambling. I know the world has been cruel to us, but it doesn't mean that only gambling and alcohol could ease the but, yes in a short manner of time but we should look onto further solutions, a long run solution that is available and harmless to us.

Well, thats more than just a past time, something to ease whatever pain it was. He literally live with it and thats really hard habit to break. I can somehow relate myself to that person, once I was addicted to mmorpg from desktop online game. I didn't have enough time to sleep and even skip meals. But, that person is in different level. He'll be burning a lot of money in there.

It is hard to overcome when you are at the level of addiction, I have tried that but luckily I am able to cure my self to have self-limitation. Even when you are in sleep the whole thing you had to imagine is the thing you had addicted for. We don't have blame here anything except on our selves on how to control these. Always put in mind those things that make you worse when you let to not control and stop chasing anything that you want, that is also lead to addictions.
