It's really hard specially if the person is not acknowledging his gambling addiction until it's too late. He is knee deep and can't get out by himself. That's why I believed that family needs to support them to snap out of his bad habits.

I overcome it when I lost my job, obviously, I don't have the means to continue to gamble and then I realised that I was becoming a statistics. So once I got up and recover, I never look back, I just play occasionally and just bring money that I can afford to lose and have some fun.

Overcoming an addiction becomes hard when you think you can't do it even you don't do a thing about it, before you complain, do something about it, start it and then figure it our by yourself if it's really hard or it's just your brain telling lies. Of course you also need help of someone professional who could help you to overcome your addiction step by step to make it more successful, taking shortcuts doesn't count.
And last but not the least, your willpower is needed for this process, if you're always going to be negative about everything, then I am sure you can't really overcome your addiction.

They don't have to do that really. All they just need is to channel their excitement to gambling to something else maybe a job. How old are these guys who had gambling problems anyway? Gambling can be avoided especially if they are monitored by their big sister or brother.
If they are 18 and above, they can certainly find ways to look the other way when chips are in front of them.

I think it is impossible to heal gambling addiction because a person who is involved in gambling addiction, he do not listen to anyone advises. The best way to stop a person from doing gambling is to limit his money and remove his access to the money. With no or less money, he will not be able to do gambling and with passage of time his gambling addiction will be reduced.

Overcoming your addiction in gambling is really easy to say but hard to do because it is hard to stay away in gambling if you always wanted to earn easy money with it. But in my own opinion, the first thing that you need to do to overcome your addiction in gambling is by staying away or avoid invites to your family or friends as soon as possible, second always give your savings to one of your family member like your wife, so that you can't spend anything, and lastly focus on other things for you to forget gambling like playing mobile games and trading with crypto.

The first thing to do to eliminate our desire to gamble is to ask ourselves this question;
''Why am I gambling?''
If the answer to this question is to make money, the situation is very bad because in response to this answer it is not possible to reduce or completely eliminate gambling. But if the answer to this question is just to have fun, then you can give up this fun and you can gradually lose your gambling habit.

Sometimes questioning ourselves and accepting that we're wrong is really need to let us get away in a problem we are engaging. Once we didn't let ourselves accept that we're wrong and we put other excuses that worsen the situation. We should convince ourselves and all things will be in a right path.
Self control is the basic things which needs to be developed over a time so that you can control and stop it when required . Another thing is that just dedicate limited money for this cricket so that once it’s over you would not play with more as limit is over .
Psychiatrist and psychologist are just giving you an order that you have to follow like a different routine to mislead your attention or a diversion so that your main attention in gambling will be channeled to others. But if the person is not willing to follow those precaution then it is still useless and they really need someone or something to control their addiction.
^ Probably once you are in critical condition, rehabilitation is a good place for you to fully stop your attention in gambling and something divert into other activity just like playing sports games. Mental illness due to addiction is gambling takes time to cure, not just only months will spend and probably it takes years before they consider that you won't back again in gambling. Nevertheless, there's no other than who can control your self while you are not addicted and something while it is an early stage that might be curable. Be responsible for our selves and think before we act. Professional and family help is the only way that you can overcome gambling if a guy is too deep into gambling, he cannot do it by himself, there's too much addiction, and the temptation is too huge to ignore, only a professional can set up a guideline and method, where he gives it in a patient to patient.
professional psychologists might be able to help because in my opinion those who are addicted to it are very badly like they can't control their mentality
so they really really need to fix their maindset fan back to normal
Professional Psychologist are only important if the person is not doing right and unstoppable. But if being addictive is just that he always have losses and can control his body. The only way to that if you're normal person is to discipline yourself and stop. If you really want to stop then you should do something about. There is no other person who can teach how to stop but yourself. Doing it minimally will help you to stop gambling day-by-day. When it is still early, try practice it and keep your money for yourself and for your family.
it's only us who can answer that, I'm afraid. Even if you consult your psychologist about the matter, if you want to gamble, you would still gamble and no one will ever stop you, not even the lack of funds on your pockets. The only thing you can do to stop going the route of a complete degenerate is to distance yourself from gambling houses/games and resist the urge of playing. Do not satisfy your thoughts of 'getting lucky' or you will lose your money in the long run. As most addicts do, you can't do it in a full stop, so it's understandable that you will still gamble no matter what, but try to do it less frequently and you'd be surprised about the results after a few months.
I just found out that he is now a jeepney barker in near in our city and he depends his life on it. Until now the interest from his house are getting higher. That is why you better control yourselves in gambling so you will not end up being in the same situation and our family currently helping him out.
Indeed i knew some families were broken because of parents having addicted to gambling too. But still, gambling in physical world is different from gambling in cryptocurrencies and digital world. It only takes a few step forward onto something that would seem to kill you as you approach changes. And it only requires self discipline.
That's a sad news btw. Had you even tried to seek him some help out?

The first thing to do to eliminate our desire to gamble is to ask ourselves this question;
''Why am I gambling?''
This is a very good start to control our selves in gambling, asking a question will make us awake to the road of possible addiction. There are too many ways to overcome gambling addiction but first, we should educate our selves and have discipline on it. Always remember this in your mind that gamble only of what you can afford to lose and chasing money is not a good idea in gambling. Divert to another habit might help you to forgot gambling for a while. ''Why am I gambling?''
But in your opinion or personal experiences, how do you overcome your addiction to gambling?
Overcome from gambling isn't very easy task in my opinion. I were not much addicted so I overcome easily. Once a time I were unemployed, then somehow I were related with poker house (gambling only with play card). I didn't played much but was active on management team, although it was local but for safety reason there was need management team to protect from police and from local problems. So occasionally I played there, but never won (my bad luck on gambling). Somehow I come on abroad for work purpose and still working. So I forgot about poker now. Even I don't have enough time to play gamble on online. And I believe gamblers should forced himself to a real job or business in order overcome from gambling. Thats how they will be very busy and slowly will forget about gambling. Otherwise they won't come out from this addiction.
