Well, if it is a disease or not, but it is definitely a psychological problem that is in urgent need of medical attention. If it is not addressed timely then it can destroy a gambler's life.

I think addiction is not a type of disease that must be treated medically. You don't need pills or certain drugs. All you have to do is change your activities by managing the right time. Change your gambling with other fun activity and finally change your mindset about gambling

Not as easy as it sounds. Gambling addicts could slip into depression if they try to stop gambling at once.
Stopping gradually over a period of time could help him adjust easily. They could then gradually replace the gambling other non addictive fun stuff like you mentioned

Gambling is really hard to deal of, there were facts that may conclude you to think abnormally. Somehow, many people devoted and risk their lives just for fun untill they lose control and self-decipline that may lead to addiction. The affection of loseness will make them feel anxiety and stressful that may become a disease which is hard to find a therapy. And the compatible remedy we can laid of, is to restrain from gambling and have self- decipline to become sufficient on deliberations.

As mentioned self control is is the only way to get rid of addiction, rather than taking a remedy after addiction it is good to stay within limits earlier itself. Being greedy is common with each and every human, overcoming the same require good knowledge about the loss that acquires with gambling. Most probably only after experiencing some loss people used to set their limits and play.

But it somehow not all of us were in that thinking and letting themselves to be addicted. There is no medication that could help it out but it is our self who can beat it and give the solution. If we are willing to make it, then there is a big chances to get out from the life we don't want to be.

Thats true, even psychiatric won't help if you don't want it to stop, it's not a disease that can kill you, only you can stop it dude.
it's just a kind of bad habit I think, with the intention to quit, and a good plan, you can just get out of addiction

It's an emotional problem, that could result to a problem with health, when money is your problem because of addiction it will have a big effect on your as a person and it could affect the people that surrounds you, so prevention is always better than cure.

If you are feeling that gambling is taking control over yourself and you are just now able to make decisions yourself, then its a sign of being addiction.

The best remedy for this is to keep yourself away from gambling for a week and so, and then you will be normal.

And to add with that, before going back to gambling again, you have to contemplate within yourself why you are doing that again. You need to internalize what's going on with your personal life. Gambling should not significantly affect your personal life. It should be a fun diversion from your stressful life not the other way around.

But you need counselling and treatment psychologically.

It is very easy to say to change an addict's activity but you don't know the struggle he's been going through.

I agree, it is extremely hard for an addicted person to change his/her activity. All the other activities look bleak for that person compared to gambling. That's why there has to be something resembling gambling in the substitution. For example, if you do shopping during a big sale, you are basically winning money, right? True, but not necessarily. If you buy a lot of useless stuff, you are losing your money even if it was cheap. So, it's similar to gambling, you can lose and you can win, only in shopping the outcome depends on your brainpower more than on luck. It shouldn't be necessarily shopping, it can also be fishing, metal detecting or other potentially rewarding activities. But in any case, it takes an enormous amount of strength on the part of addicted person, and they are worthy of great respect and admiration in case of succeeding.

I gamble in sports and has been addicted, but I did not allow it to consume my entire life.

Good for you dude, you are awakened at the early stage in your from the sudden addiction which really hard to get a cure.
Sometimes we just lead on that situations because of greediness, every one of us really needs money but some people they think that gambling will answer their problem and think it is a source of income but the truth is they are in addiction mode. Controlling our selves here is the best option, have self-moderated instead.

As mentioned self control is is the only way to get rid of addiction, rather than taking a remedy after addiction it is good to stay within limits earlier itself. Being greedy is common with each and every human, overcoming the same require good knowledge about the loss that acquires with gambling. Most probably only after experiencing some loss people used to set their limits and play.

Self control does play an important role in quitting gambling addiction but there are also some important step ones need to take be applying the self control cause a gambling which doesnt know he addicted, greed, know the rules,regulation, inevitable basics in gambling and ready to forget himself for been addicted will still be addicted even if he applied the self control method.

As early as possible you must control everything especially your emotion because in gambling if you let your addiction to ruin your life then it will be hard for you to be good again. When you are already addict in gambling that must be the time for you to start realizing things and to fight for it because if you can’t then expect to die broken.

To me as well it is not bad if the person is addicted to gambling as we know there are so many chance of making money with gambling and they earned so many people who use to gamble, get money and spending good life, even if it is addiction then it is not harmful for your health and it can give you better life if you gamble wisely and fairly.

So it means gambling is not disease even it is really have bad affect for who get addicted to it. But for someone who already get worst because of addiction, they will really hard and maybe need medicine and therapy to get rid of it.
