Topic: Gambling issues? Read this! (Read 1067 times)
Each and every government's offer such service to the people for free but when it is available for free it won't be much effective on helping the people in my opinion.When you knows that you got some issues and want to get rid of it then find a rehabilitation centre near you which will help you to cure from addiction but you have to fix in your mind that you wanted to quit your addiction if it is not there then no one can help addicted you.
If this kind of issue cannot be handled by yourself or even family members, professional help is definitely needed. If ever you know someone who is suffering from gambling addiction never hesitate to reach out help.
The best help to solve gambling addiction is professional device and Psychotherapy from medical professionals, I even has had gambling issues before and it almost ruined my life. I have lost over $6000 to gambling and still I do not have anything now. What a waste of money, it even almost took my life.

.I've heard numerous experiences from different gamblers already and many posts here in the forum too telling the possible consequences of gambling addiction and these are the reasons why I don't want to get addicted into it and right now I've stopped gambling already because of the pandemic and because I don't wan to spend too much on gambling.
For those who are addicted, seek help from experts or your family because they can help you.

Gambling addiction is a serious problem. I've seen many lives ruined by gambling since I've grown in a family that makes gambling as part of their daily lives. When I was a kid my grandmother owns a small casino and of course some of our family friends play there. My aunt had lost all her property because of gambling issues, one of my cousin's friend faced a massive financial problem due to addiction, not to mention families that were ruined because of this.

An addicted gambler will be very difficult to stop even they have visited or called that kind of professionals or help services. it is like what happens to addicted smokers, they will be very hard to stop if they have no certain issues and urgent things to do. It may be very hard to do.
moreover in gambling, many people use this as one of their income, so stopping from gambling means that they lose their income. Whereas, they are always willing to win and get much and much money. Although in fact, we don't know how much they have spent and how much they earned.
it will depend on its individual to stop gambling or enjoy its addict.
Yeah right, basically it's all back to himself, because if the gambler himself doesn't have the determination to stop then whatever effort he does, I'm sure it will only be useless. But indeed, gamblers who have overstepped their bounds or have dared to sell property or involve their families in gambling issues, then as much as possible gamblers like this must get more serious assistance at all times, because to prevent something worse it must be forced.moreover in gambling, many people use this as one of their income, so stopping from gambling means that they lose their income.

I hope I can find a story of a gambler who have sold his property get back on track.All the gamblers who have involved their family and in extreme cases their wife(not kidding) have had the worst possible ending to their life.I hope that we never see such situations and gamblers should seek help as soon as possible in their first stage of their addiction otherwise things can roll in an unmanaged matter.
Maybe there are few but they might sold their property and will not recover again.
Gamblers who are addicted with gambling will never stop, they will only stop when they lose everything, and though we don't want that but that is the reality.
It's a disease that could make a person from rich to homeless, so we need to be careful and the most important is for us to know how to control ourselves and be responsible all the time, it look easy to follow but some gamblers really struggle.

It was totally great that there is certain groups or organizations that are available to provide online consultations even at this pandemic because admit it or not, there are really people who were negatively affected by gambling due to unmanageable control of themselves while playing gambling specially at this pandemic that we tend to stay home and we can still access to play gambling through online.
This is really a great help for people experiencing the negative effect of playing gambling so that they have someone to reach out and talk about their experience and help them out to manage their playing and lessen the negative effects of playing gambling on their daily life basis. But help would just come if you also would be really care of helping yourself first to reach out contacting the information stated by the OP to help you out conquering the negativities of playing gambling.

I can say that it isnt really that necessary imho in talks about professional help or orgs towards gambling addicts. But it is indeed also a good thing that they do exist because not all people who do have problem in addiction will solve out for their self.
Actually we can break the chain of addiction without any help but if you do have the hard time then the first one whom you would surely approach is your own family itself.
Issues wont arise if you do really just know on how you do handle yourself towards gambling activity but majority do fail up to this one. Some might recovered but majority had already been wrecked.
Gamblers have different situation on hand. So whatever suits his current situation and whatever he may think is appropriate to solve his problem, at least he has options to choose from. But we all know that the true change comes from within himself. His determination to change will help him recover this big challenge in his life.

All these urls are finishing by ".au". And as far as I know .au is the Internet country code top-level domain for Australia.
Since only few users come from this country here, it would be more relevant to propose some websites for other countries, or some international ones at least, IMO.
True, I hope there's an international platform not only applicable on one country. It would be non-sense if you tried to contact them which is out of your country. Since gambling problems is a wide issue, it's better to contact your local doctors 'cause they already knew what's the best thing to do since they knew how the environment works in their own country. Since only few users come from this country here, it would be more relevant to propose some websites for other countries, or some international ones at least, IMO.
Since @OP posted this on gambling discussion which is an international board, I guess indicating international websites like WHO or world health organization.

Online doctors and psychologists won't help them who are addicted because they don't meet the addicted people face to face. They can only give advice to people who addicted from far away, but if they can meet directly, I think they can consult about the problem and figure out how to solve the addicting. When it comes to mental, I think the meet will be necessary so the doctors and psychologists can find the solution.
In my opinion, this is better than no one to talk to. the best thing in this world is when you lose everything you have or let's say you didn't get the thing you ask for you will feel distressed and lose some confidence and the first thing you need to have is someone to talk that can understand your situation. I'm really glad that we have someone like this that we can ask for instruction and advise us on what to do in the time of calamity and distress.
It is great that there are professionals who can provide free assistance to those in need. However, I always tell my family and children that in case of problems, if you need to talk to someone, I am always there for you.
The strength of the family, support and mutual assistance should be consider in any situation.

People can get a suggestion from the doctors and psychologist online, but it feels different than if we meet them face to face. That people need to go to that therapist so they can know how to cure themselves. Besides that, they will get the right medicine from the psychologist because I think the level of the addiction itself will be different than other people.
Physical appointment I think is always better than online consultation.
There are some behaviour that a psychologist can see during those physical consultations that online can't see.
But for the time being, one can start having online consultation if he really wants to change.
And when the time permits, you can physically visit your doctors because they will understand more of your situation and so they can help according to your needs.
That is why if the addicted person can meet personally with the psychologist, it will give a chance for the psychologist to analyze what is happening to that person. The psychologist can also provide the right medicine or treatment to that person so he will have a chance to cure his addiction. I think that is the only way for the addicted person to be helped by the psychologist, and I think they will be able to find the problem deeper than online.

Talk to other people can be another solution because he can share his problem, especially his addiction to gambling, so maybe that person can give a solution on how to solve the problem. Usually, we can talk to someone that close to us so we can free to talk about our problem, and the important is we can trust that person to help us.
This is the time where one should be trying to get rid of any addiction as this can make them break free and live the life in a different way after post Corona.
whats the difference with this period from the other ? people now are facing crisis and this is more important than the gambling addiction so people will try to solve this first . after this period , that would be the time to seek for help but i see alot of arguements above saying addicted gamblers wont seek help .
if not them selves then we that arent addictive will look for them and see if they are really addicted or not , then we are the ones that will aid them .
If we ask doctors and psychologists online then I don't think that is the best way except for complaints that you feel may be able to get consultations with doctors online, but for addictions I think it is also difficult to do this because it has to be done in a way that psychologists might know better how to stop gambling addiction in a short time.
In the first place, there is no way an addicted gambler will reach an expert about how to deal with their behavior.
The other way around might happen, these gamblers might avoid any advice at all cost since they just want to continue, no matter what happens.
The good side is, an addicted gambler might able to wake up in the middle of their shitty behavior. That's the time they now able to consider asking for help as soon as possible now that they were able to regain control of themselves.
Yup, as long as the gambling addict didn't accept that he is indeed an addict, there's no way that he'll try the online consultation. Online can help those who are really willing to be cured, but not those who are just doing it just because someone told them too(a family member or a friend). I also agree with what the others said, physical consultation is always better because you can interact with the professional more openly. The vibe and presence will always be different physically, and it will affect how the process of your rehabilitation will take.

This help us to look within and change our self for better and also for the rest of the loved ones. I hope people who are motivating others in their hard mission of getting rid of this addiction becomes successful so that they can enjoy their life as well other than addiction which can impact the life to great extent.
