Topic: If a addict lives within, which method would you choose to help them - page 5. (Read 2327 times)

Yes, change is achievable, and the approach you both mentioned is the right option for healing an addicted gambler. As he'd need to discuss his troubles with us like we are friends, forcing him or yelling at him only causes a countervailing reaction on the player which can chase the gambler from our vicinity or presence, not wanting to have a conversation with us, hence making him feel very comfortable around us is the best healing technique on the addict.

In addition, tracing down on his behavior as a child also matters, many therapists, tend to discuss the person's past and figure out ways to get him out of addiction.

We all love our pasts, that's why we are happy whenever we get in touch with a childhood friend. Therapists can tap into this trick, as happiness is the goal, since the gambler has been sad and in pain during his period of addiction. Keeping him happy will drag him closer to us, and he'd never feel any need to avoid us, once that has been achieved, the player will be one step closer to being addiction free.   

Well the idea is to know how to get into a person like that because it's not that easy either, this thing about being addicted is sometimes Difficult because they are locked in their World and if you come and tell them: "Don't play anymore because it's going to hurt you" They are capable of getting very angry, I try to see the behavior and tell them how they are doing, that if there is a way to reduce the game to do thing, I invite her to play soccer, and I invite her to do a sport that I know is going to be tiring, for example cycling, cycling demands a lot and if there is no bicycle, then it is easier, I tell her that we go run, to jog, or walk very far so that you get tired , and with that you see landscapes or something like that, so that you breathe fresh air and keep your mind with another type of vision, and not the one you always have of doing things like this to get tired , because if the person gets tired it is much easier for them to react by stopping little by little from playing.

If the person Starts playing less frequently, they can make things turn out much better because it is a way for them to forget, and to that person I would tell them that we are going for a walk or that they should help me with whatever, because As long as the Mind is busy and the body is busy with other activities, it will not have time to go to the casino , and that is Already a gain , therefore when we decide to do things like this well, there is no other way.

That would be my method to keep Someone away from addiction , but you have to be very Discreet and not talk too much about caffeine or those Topics because they make them have anxiety and anxiety is a very Negative Effect of an Addiction, for that Reason  is that things have to be Managed in that Sense.

Sometimes it depends on their behavior because if you see them at their worst, then you need to act quickly without making any introduction anymore since they are not gonna listen to you anymore and this sometimes results in aggression you need to be ready for that. But if you see them slightly addicted and you want them to change, then nicely talk to them to avoid any misunderstanding because if you provoke them more, it will lead to their rebellion, and won't gonna listen to anybody anymore. that's why we have lots of people who ran away from home because of traumatic experiences and also some of them are also at fault since they don't listen to their parents and sibling's advice.

Definitely changes from an addicted person is truly possible by the help of having a lot of patience and persistence but I assume that it will also take a lot of time before they overcome this addiction. Speaking with them by face to face is one of the best way to guide and to help them because if you only know, that's what doctors like psychologists do mostly, they talk and give a lot of advice to a person so that he remembers again and again that what he does needs to be limited, in this way, a person's time is reduced in gambling.

Gambling is for adults and you cannot force a grown up not to engage in what he seems fit for him. Adults should be allowed to make decisions that relate to their life activities. But when it is clear that an individual needs some level of coercion to make some important decisions, he should be forced to do it.

Some gambling addicts will never accept that they need help and will never accept advice or a soft approach. Such individuals can be forced to make some hard choices such as seclusion or visiting some addiction experts. There are times when you have to force people to take action because they might not the importance now but might later understand that you were just helping.

An introverted lifestyle shows a less communicative personality and even if we talk more to them, the story is just our presentation, it does not condense any other thoughts for them when they are just an emotional trash can and only know how to listen to a story and experience advice, they are not connected by such stories, their world is too special and prevents anyone from entering. Helping them can only lead them to experience the outside world more, like they need to find the rope to overcome difficult emotions inside without needing others to give them a clear path.

Remember, basically handling each case is not necessarily the same for each individual. whether it's violence, or in a gentle way. Before we try to help, especially if they are family, we must first know the person's character, what methods we can apply to them. anyway, there is nothing better than these two options if it is not based on a method for finding the solution. IMO, if that happened to my side of the family, I would first look for the root of the problem so I know why he became an addict. whatever the type of addiction, an addict is still an addict, including gambling. after that, I will discuss with the family to find a good solution. however, it must start with a persuasive approach first. and it is not advisable, to be rashly rude. because usually it doesn't solve a problem, but has the potential to even cause disagreements between the family.

So as I said, I will prioritize a persuasive approach to find out more about the triggers and initial problems. because, there are many cases where someone becomes a gambler due to problems that occur to that person. Well, before we focus on how to help or handle it. we need to know the main trigger, after that we can trace how to bring our brother back to normal recovery. so, nothing is better than the two options you offered from your question. Basically, if we are basically moved to help, the pattern is as I said at the beginning. after that, provide understanding, knowledge, and how to form responsibilities. If it doesn't work, other methods can be used, in other words sending him to rehabilitation. even then, with the approval of the main figure in our discussion. so, it's not as simple as we say or discuss.

It should come as no surprise that forcing someone to stop gambling against their will can backfire, resulting in increased frustration and resentment. Taking the time to speak with them face to face and offer advise and support is far more likely to have a positive impact. And an analogy of the stone being shaped by water over time is extremely powerful; it implies that change is possible, but it requires patience and persistence.

Don`t waste time, use option 2 from the beginning. When you try to care about adult he mostly feel himself like a victim, but don`t think that if was his decision to gamble. If you choose option 2 you don`t give him such illusion - he must understand that he brake his life himself and he can change it only himself.

Most of the time it works but in some cases addicted gambler use that compassion to abuse those people who are caring with them, they keep doing the same thing even how hard you try to talk and make them realize the bad side effects of gambling, if you are living inside the same house chances that you already knows what kind of an approach to use, though personally, I'll go with the mild and cool conversation and keep trying to let them feel that they are important and there are many other  things in life that they can focus instead of wasting time and money inside gambling.

When option 1 didnt work then you would be coming up for option 2 and if it doesnt work then any options should be used but if it turns out that its useless then there's nothing we can do about it but to accept that they are really pushing up the things that they do have in mind but if we are dealing with someone whose in our family then it would really be just that right that we should really be that in concern on helping
them because we do know that full risks and danger of gambling addiction on which it is something that shouldnt really be ignored about because once things become worst then we do know on what would be
the potential effects or damage into someone. This is why it would really be that best that we should really be attentive whenever we do see someone who do have this kind of problem and also with
every problems that arises.

There are many people who believe that things work out the wrong way, but I think that treating them badly is not the solution, because things can basically turn out very badly for those who want to do it that way. I think that now people They have to take things more calmly, talk and let it be seen that talking things turn out better, agreements are reached, treating badly I believe that what a person is going to cause is trauma and what they have from the addiction is enough And well, it is not fair and something that people should see, some do not consider it, but come on, if some person is somewhat volatile in their decisions, then they are a person who cannot be pulled hard or forced, because we do not know what It is or will be the reaction, all people are not equal.

You must also consider the type of personality of each person , it is Different to treat a Person with a strong temperament than a Person with a soft temperament, all this has to be done with great tact and well to get out of all this you have to always consider the help of a professional, we as normal people without this type of studies do not know what damage we can cause to people who are in an addiction.

An addict has a very clear thought about what should be done, how they are going to do it and what they can do to get more money and to get more ways to play, that is obvious but it is considered that things like this have to be treated very hard. tact, in that aspect it would be the most correct decision to make, as a person who is not a professional in psychology the most you can give is general advice, because we do not know or understand how they handle problems, stress and pressure. people.

Option number 2 for me is the best way. Forcing them to stop will make them think logically and in the end they will make their choice.
If it uses a gentle approach, it will not be able to enter into its logic and assume we are just delaying it to stop gambling. No matter how rude it is, we definitely still care about the addiction he is experiencing.

Too much loves will kill you
The important think is the addicted can open their minds and accept the help from people around them, including their family members or people that they loved. If they can show their support to the addict, he will see that he is not alone to solve his problem because his closed ones will help him and always support him. They will go to the rehabilitation with the addict and search the right method to heal the addiction. Love, support, and effort will awaken the addict to see that he still has a chance to recover from his gambling addiction.

That's probably the better way to solve such a problem because forcing isn't a solution as the gambler might stop gambling in front of the people who are forcing him to stop gambling but that wouldn't make them leave it and he will keep doing it on the back when there is no one around because, of course, you can't isolate them and give them no basic facilities at all as that isn't a way to deal with the situation.

So, people around the person who is addicted to gambling should handle the situation with wisdom and calmness instead of getting angry, scolding the addict, and forcing them to stop gambling because that isn't going to work but it will make the matter worse.

The first thing you noted is the best approach to follow in other to help a gambling addict, for you to get an addicted gambler into talking terms you must show them love and make them understand the reason why they should quit gambling totally since is not good for them, talking to an addicted gambler in a hard manner won't solve the problem instead it will worsen matter, the gambler will see you as an enemy but if you approach him in a light manner he may see reason with you, addiction is not something we can stop by force, techniques needs to be applied in other to get it right if not the situation will worsened.

How are you solving the financial problems of the family members of the those gamblers? Are you suggesting them what to do or lending them money? To be honest, hard to meddle someone else's financial troubles. So wondering here what financial actions are you offering to their families?


I believe, it is better to understand first why he is being addicted in gambling. Because finding the reason why he's into this activity will give you insights on how to help the gambler to possibly get out of the situation. Understand his reasonings and all, will help you assist him address his dilemma in gambling.

The gambling addicted person never try to recover from the gambling site,because they had face some big winning in the gambling site after a loss.But the important one is the gambler will not withdraw the funds from the gambling site,mostly they get greedy in making money in the gambling site.Because the gambling site also allow the gamblers to make money in the gambling site,if they really ready to understand the game.The gambler should try to withdraw the funds to their bank wallet after the winning was completed,because the next game will blast the gambler winning money in the gambling site.The gambler should not get more temptation to play the more game in the gambling site,because mostly the gamblers get huge temptation for the next game in the gambling site.So better gamblers withdraw funds after big win and go to the movie to have some fun.This will help the gamblers to get away from the gambling addiction.

Gambling addiction is just a very bad thing, and anyone who is addicted needs their family and friends support more than ever because it's not easy for them to pull out of it alone. Those who are close to them are the ones who can talk them out of it, stay close to them, and distract them from gambling. 
 
But another thing about some gambling addicts that makes it difficult to help them is that most of them don't even agree to the fact that they are addicted. Even when you point it out to them, they still argue that they are still on their normal gambling behaviour, which makes it harder for such people to learn and be corrected. 

There are many professional gamblers living around me and I can't misbehave with them because by misbehaving with them I can't stop them from this gambling addiction but if I can maintain a cooperative and friendly relationship with them I can definitely get better feedback from them.
Sometimes the gambler's family members hang out with my family members and I try to maintain a good social relationship with them. Sometimes I try to solve the financial problems of the family members of those gamblers. I cannot socially misbehave with gambling family members as it is not in the social code to misbehave with them.
