Topic: Gambling addiction threads - page 3. (Read 584 times)

I have never been a gambling addict however the discussions on the forum really helped me understand the extent of gambling addiction within the community, and I really respect all of those people that are brave enough to talk about their experiences and how bad things got for them, this has helped me in the sense that whenever I gamble I always have on the back of my mind the thought of never becoming addicted to gambling and as soon as I think that I may have gambled too much I stop immediately since I do not want to go through those difficult experiences.

Yes. They're helpful to everyone, someone who's already addicted and to anyone who can be the same. It is not just for those specific people but anyone can find it helpful as long as they realize the thoughts of those shared posts.

Advices are there to guide us and if you choose to be guided but still at the end, the person who's dealing with the problem must submit himself to what have been told to him, suggestions or advices that's concerning his situation.

I understand that you see it that way since you are not into regular gambling but unfortunately if a person turned into a gambling addict or just a person that gambles regularly but still control of themselves, what you called as eye-opening threads is not really a tool for them to realize that something is wrong. Threads related to that issue will just be ignored by them and I'm sure of that.

If they didn't experience losing hard yet and they have a source of funds to gamble, they will not stop. Experiencing only by reality will change them and not by reading advice beforehand.

As I see it, gambling addiction threads is an eye-opening tool because it guides the gambler by making him realized how gambling influence his life. Admittedly, I am not a gambling addict, but seeing those threads makes me feel like I should be guiding myself carefully as I gamble. Different opinions, advice, and experiences will be seen, which can create an impact on how people see things. Furthermore, it depends on how they perceive the lesson from those experiences.

We should really advocate this kind of threads because, this could indeed help a lot of our forks here in bitcointalk that have become an addict in gambling. Even if we don't feel it but, I think that our words and ideas have contributed to a lot of people in this sections.

We should continue this kind of thread so even in just little things we could help other people overcome their gambling addiction.

I am not a gambling addict so I cannot share an accurate answer but I want to share my perspective about it, Maybe it will help a little, some of us never realized that they are an addict so by reading those threads they can realize something they should have not done. But it really depends on the person some after realizing it they keep doing what they like until they satisfied but it depends on financial capability. I guess gambling addiction could be dangerous It might lead to crime if not prevented.

Thank you for all of the trade that you have been made for those people who have been addicted in gambling it has become a really useful and a base guidelines that has been followed by many people because of the trade that you are sharing and the trade that you have been made this probably the main goal of your sharing the story of your gambling addiction to help other people who has been addicted on gambling.

They will fine, I mean I'm not gambling addict but if I'm gambling addict the discussion about gambling who have a lot of exhortation won't ever be help them and make them aware against his activities.

Because I have an imagine that the gambling addict will avoid some exhortation from other people, he still comfortable with his situation. But if they bored and he has intention to compunction he will ask by hiself about the way to reduce his gambling activities and come out from his addiction.

Gambling threads discussion would really open our eyes on what we had loss and what we could have bought if we didn't gamble at all.
It would make us realize that we just waste our money.

actually it became very helpful for us who became addict on gambling because those tribes that you are making and which you are sharing your experience way back when you are addicted on gambling we are thinking about those experience that you have done and which is making for as a path or guide on what do we need to do in order to prevent those bad activities that you have been done i am pretty sure that you have been able to help other people by just sharing your experience and stories when you are gambling way back then.

Depending on the gambling guide in making policies and conclusions, gambling benefits or disadvantages them.

The gambling addict will realize if he loses the game many times, the gambling addict will not realize if he experiences victory when betting continuously.

So the point of the problem all depends on the thought of the gambling addict in considering the life of him and his family, I mean: stop and live with family well or continue playing gambling, But for individual awareness about the topic of gambling addiction, like someone going to college to study: [some successes and some unsuccessful ones, those who don't succeed keep doing things in their daily habits, don't change].

I think that helps people from the addicting to gambling, but if they still cannot control themselves, they can be back addicting to gambling anytime. We need to solve what is wrong inside ourselves so we can identify if playing gambling too long can attract us to become addicting. Many threads can help us to change, but that depends on how we treat gambling and don't get deeper into gambling. I am sure that we can hold ourselves from playing gambling for a long time.

damn thats nice to hear from you  . i like it the most when you say you forgot about winning  but now your playing to enjoy  . that is also what i realized lately  . i dont want to have all the money in this world to be happy but i can be happy on a simple things like rolling a dice  . besides i have  my own job and i think i can already earn sufficient income with it even without gambling   .  gambling threads might help small with you or not helping at all to some but there are also people that are willing to change their bad habbits and they are looking for ways on this board  . that is a big help to them  .

It helped me a bit but I stopped because of my personal attitudes too.

When I'm reading some of the posts here of the users, I often think that "What if it also happened to me" especially when it is a negative event like they got broke because of gambling or they didn't bought something they want because of gambling.

I also said that I stopped gambling myself because of my discipline attitude. I know when to stop and when to gamble and at the same time, I have priorities in life and gambling isn't one of them so I will just gamble if I want to and vice versa.

Or in short, its already late they do soon realize that they are addicted when they do already facing up problems.
I dont really believe much that someone can be helped out by just reading up some threads towards into their gambling addiction problems.
Its just totally depending if you do self admit that you are addicted and making steps for it to be resolve by your own.
but somehow reading up these kind of threads or experiences from other people isnt really a bad one it will just matter or depend if you do
absorb or learn from those things or just simply ignore and continue on what you are doing.It will vary from person to person yet
we know that we do have different mindsets when it comes to sorts of things.

People who do aim for making big money will really easily get hooked up with gambling activity yet this do give out that high chance
on making money on short possible timeframe and so as with losing too.

Yeah it does but just a little bit because the moment i have read the threads here i am in process of changing and realization.
i start consulting my wife and mother on how can they help me,and also some friends(real friends and not gambling buddy0 that always stay besides me to make me busy and stop gambling at least for a while.
and this actions bring fruits and i forget about looking for winning always and starts using as enjoyment habit.

If they are engaging into different topics here in this forum, for sure they will be affected with those topics because they may somewhat reflect on the subject matter being talked about. It will not only affect those who are akready addicted but those who are showing symptoms of addictions. They might be able to cut the stigma if ever they would be able to read such topics, because reflection to oneself is an important thing not only in gambling but to most of the things that you engage yourself with.
I actually assumed that this is a rant such as to those threads correlating corona virus and movent of the price of Bitcoin. Actually, it is still depening to those people tehmselves, whether they would allow themselves to be affected and would insist for a change in their gambling routine in order to not be classified to "addiction".
To put it simply, those threads are not only limited to those who are already labeled as a 'gambling addict' but also to those who are also prone of being 'one' with the said group of people, because of potentialities due to their exposure with such activity. Reflection is really something, because sometimes, professional advice won't work if you won't allow yourself to be consumed by those advice. Simplu putting that it will be yourself at the end of the day, who would make a change for yourself.

if this really happens?i would like to congratulate you mate because it is very rare occasion that a Addicted gambler Change just because of this section in which too many answers in each thread as it wasn't helping anymore,but with your testimony?yeah this is a helpful area i thing.
sorry but for me its not since what i believe reading comments here are just an instrument but still we will be the one will decide so Good for you but for others this is nothing.

Most likely, NO. Main reason is, a addicted person couldn't realized that he is fall in addiction. Its same like if you ask a mad that are you mad? Simply he will answer NO. It's just not about gambling, any kind of addicted person can't realized they are on addiction. Even some people realize it but very low percentage and only they could leave addiction when they don't have enough money for gambling.

lol what i thought is that your against with those threads and your now sick of seeing them but i was wrong because after opening your thread i see that your giving credits to those gambling addiction thread . good for you  .

 with so many related threads about them who will not possibly learn from it ? as long as your sincere reading every important details on those thread  , the words will stick up on your head and you will prolly apply it so that you wont repeat the same mistake again  .
