I have seen countless threads about gambling addiction and I've been sharing my experiences on those threads, To be honest those threads helped me realized the failures I got from being a gambling addict. I'm just curious if those threads helped other gambling addicts here and do the threads helped them on changing.

Does the gambling discussion here about gambling addiction help you reducing your gambling activities or helps you to think that you need to change?

In reality, I see there are only a few here who really become addicted to gambling that needs serious attention. There are lots of threads about advice and how to get help on how to overcome being addicted to gambling but even how simple and easy those instructions, it's hard to do if the gambler itself didn't experience being in that situation.

I'm hoping that there are really gamblers here who got help by some threads here even for a few but as we know, from gambler's point of view, reading those long advice is boring and they will just realize that they should read those pointers after they lose big.
There's some point of threads are helpful especially to those gambler who are now experiencing an addiction through gambling. These threads give some gambler to realize their mistakes but the only one who can help them is theirself and the people whose around to gambler addict to support to overcome the addiction.

Yes, that threads help me reducing my gambling activities. I realize that I've been playing gambling with more money in the past, and I don't want to do that again now. I know that it is hard to reduce, but that is what we need to do to prevent the addicting, and we need to realize the failures that we have made before.

But that will back to that person if he realizes the failures and he wants to reduce, and then he will do it. Otherwise, he will not do that thing, and he still playing gambling again and again. Solving the addiction is hard, but it is worth if we try to prevent the addicting before it's too late to realize.

I don't think that gambling addicts will change their ways just because they read or hear some worrying story here. Their mindset is very different, they are really focus on their thing that no matter what you tell them, they won't change a bit, unless something happen in their life and realised that they are out of control.

I find strategy of others on how they managed to control themselves, how they overcome addiction from those threads that I've read really helpful. I'm not a heavy gambler but it's all about the emotion when I'm near to what I know where I'm heading.

I'm realizing that if I will not be careful with myself, I might end up worse just like what has been shared from those threads. So, I also take it as a motivation and a reminder to make myself calm.

No, since I'm already a gambler even before this forum was created. I already experience painful losses, hard time, regrets, inability to think properly and other negative effects that gambling can bring to a person.

That kind of experience now becomes my foundation for what I am now. Instead of totally stopping my gambling activity which I don't really like, I've begun to think, what's wrong on the process and work on that. Still, there are losses (that are really unavoidable) but what matters now is, I can now properly managed my bankroll to lasts in the long-run of playing.

It's still a case to case basis, some people will accept and learned from they are reading while some will not, when we are gambling for so long we tend to become immune to what other people are saying and what we are reading, maybe it applies to new gamblers and not to old timers who just ignore what people are saying.

First of all im not an addicted gambler thats why these kind of boards or threads doesnt really help much but at least its still a good read for you to know others experiences towards addiction.It may help others but most of the time this wont really make such changes because if people would tend to quit gambling in the first place then theres no such thing about reading up something will help you out but rather ones mind will be the key on completely quitting into something.

Good for you that you do able to realize on things about addictions by some sort of reading which is good to hear at.

If I had to go back where i'd gamble nonstop it probably wouldn't help that much since i'll be more focused on which game to play and casinos to choose from. During breaks i'll take some time to read threads here in the gambling board but it won't be effective since i'll sometimes get those mental blocks and start to forget(or give less priority on) what you just read an hour ago then remember it all once you finished your session.

It's quite nice honestly, reading stories of how and what to do when combating addiction. Even if the solutions become quite repetitive, there are various unique ways that actually are given at times. I've had some nice help with regards to finding new hobbies and forgetting gambling for a bit back then. Didn't come from here though, rather from a few of my friends who were once also deeply involved in addiction.

The question is does these gambling addicts really read those threads or have devoted their time to read it? Well, if they do I guess that might help them to realize the severe effects if they still continue the habit. I can't say for sure since I can't call myself an addict but I guess there is pushing effects if they (those gambling addicts as you call them) read some threads about the realization of being on that situation.
Well, some are actively looking for ways to get out of the cycle of addiction, so maybe. Some might actually not recognize themselves as addicts but are in fact pretty deep in already and is in need of immediate help.

For sure, forum members that keep joining the discussion about gambling they know what is gambling addiction and they are educated well about this. We are lucky here because since the start we know those consequences may occur (a gambling addiction) in the future. So, I think everyone can control their selves and didn't come to the point of addiction.

Yes, we've seen a lot of thread regarding gambling addictions and I know most us aware of those and know already how to cure and avoid gambling addiction if you are regular poster in gambling section. We're lucky enough we have a community like this.

I don't really consider myself as addicted to gambling because I only do it so often.
But reading some threads about gambling addiction and the things that I could have had if I didn't gamble always makes me regret gambling.

Not really playing wildly nor addictively , but it is a nice point to take about their experiences and well, think of how I should avoid them whenever I meet the same circumstances. Sides, not to be offensive or anything, but reading the circumstances and opinions of different people creates an opportunity for me to understand the mentality or mindset of others. Plus, you never know. Gambling addicts may just need an outlet of sorts to release their stress and pressure and well, needs someone to talk to. The forum is perfect for this kind of stuff.

Personally? I would say say because those story might happen to me, so come to think of so, you don't want to get yourself on that situation. I can only speak for myself, other gambling addicts here might not be affected by the horror stories of others and will continue to play until they themselves go on the same path or go to that same experience.

Gambling addict threads will help realize gambling addicts what will happen if he/she continue being a gambling addict which would only result in losing money. I am not a gambling addict but thosw kind of threads would help me remember that being a gambling addict is not good to your health and having money problems.

It's disastrous and been there before it almost eaten my life since it came to the point that I almost lost everything but this is not related on online gambling but in real life using fiat, and lucky I manage to get out on the darkness and manage to control my spendings.

And actually those discussion is helpful but it doesn't help me for now since I'm not totally doing some wild plays on casinos.
