Addicts are probably troubled souls looking for happiness or fun stuff. Once they discover the fun stuff they find it hard to abandon such experience for the old sad experience.
Addicts need to consider looking for safe alternatives that are beneficial and make them happy

Not only the fun stuff but they do seek out or already experience the greediness on making even more money by means of gambling.If they do have that motive on getting fun and entertainment with gambling
then later on would be changed when they are already on a winning streak. Motives will change and targets will be different compared when you aren't just starting.
Trauma would be experience if you got broke and experience things that you haven't experience before.

Well, that is true, you can feel trauma when you've got a huge loss from gambling. But I think that scenario can avoid you from serious possible addiction. Meanwhile, you did not encounter that you better to minimized on gambling habit and control your self in doing that. Indeed, gambling is just for fun, not a source of income and chasing money on it.

from what i understand , trauma means you are shock . for example you witness a killing for the first time and that results you to become traumatize . while addiction or being addicted to someone else like for example in gambling you will tend to feel happy and thats the reason why you play more . so that's it , both syndrome are different based on my own deffinition .

In my opinion, if we talk about the loss of assets, the person who loose these assets remains in a state of shock and mental trauma and this is human nature that he would want now to recover the loss and restore the value and as a result of which he gamble again and again and this might lead towards addiction. So, I think this could be a reason you might get addicted to gambling.

Gambling addiction is danger like killing life due to psychological disorder as gamblers will not focus anything else but only gambling which may lead to any level of serious disorder too. Hence, addictions should be identified and treated in the beginning days itself.

Mostly tension and sleep less will be happened while we are getting addicted to gambling because it is the most common things happening for everyone but you are doing a lots of addiction then only this type of problems will happened to us.

Gambling addict is a very hard thing to break and many gamblers are really suffering from this habits. Tauma is one of thing that lead to most of the hard habits people has developed including gambling one.

I've been watching Crash Course Psychology recently and came by an episode on trauma and addiction: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=343ORgL3kIc&index=32&list=PL8dPuuaLjXtOPRKzVLY0jJY-uHOH9KVU6. This video argues that addiction results from various sorts of psychological traumas related to different events (rape, physical or emotional abuse, war memories etc.). That is, when a person has a trauma, this person tries to get rid of fixating on it with the help of an alcohol (what's often the case with PTSD) or drugs (a good example is the case of sexual abuse of Edward St Aubyn (Patrick Melrose's prototype) and his subsequent heroin addiction). My question is whether you feel like gambling addiction is also a result of desperate attempts of avoiding focusing on other traumatic issues.
Note that I am talking specifically about gambling addiction here, not about people gambling in general.

No, I don't think so! To my knowledge, from what I saw from the environment around me, gambling isn't the way chosen by people who were traumatized as their escapement. Usually drugs or liquor that they will choose. Besides that, I don't think gambling can be used as a means to forget the bad things experienced by these people.

Trauma on losing more money? I think addiction doesn't create trauma because if its the reason they why gamblers continue to play despite of their big losses? I think you addiction will stay on yourself and it can really ruin your life, not just a simple trauma but it can lose your mind so better to be more disciplined.

Addiction does not create trauma, but what happened in the past will be traumatic, and some people are looking for ways to try to forget trauma. Some people finally arrive at the gambling game, and they enjoy the game because when they play, they can let go of the feeling of trauma and they can feel that they don't have to carry heavy loads.

So it could happen with the addicting person to gambling, and they could have a trauma in their past. They hard to tell other people about the trauma and they think that it's not better to let people know their trauma.

Actually, I have no idea about that because so far, my friends and I don't have a trauma before or in the past and we attract to the gambling games is because we are curious and we want to feel what inside the gambling places. But I don't know if there is any correlation between gambling and trauma because it could happen for other people in out there.

It depends on how strong the emotion of the gambler to control themselves from being broke. There are some addicts on gambling who keeps on fighting life just to survive, and I think there is no trauma at all. Maybe they've learn a lot but not trauma because in gambling its either we lose big money or we learn a lot from that experience.

I don't think so because for me gambling addiction is mainly because of greediness. A person that always think of easy money. They always use or think of "what if". Trauma is kinda different for me, you're in shock or maybe speechless or have a less confident in yourself, always scared.

Trauma and addiction are different, of course, and I never said they weren't. The point was that addiction might be a result of trying to cope with a trauma.

Quote from: Mometaskers on March 26, 2019, 06:17:09 AM

Trauma can cause a whole lot of psychological illness but I don't believe addiction is one of them. What cause I subscribe to is that it's the reward center in brain going on overdrive.

Humans can get addicted to a lot of things that in our original environment wouldn't have caused us much trouble (sweet or oily food for example).

Yeah, I've seen some stuff on brain activity related to rewards and also read that people are more likely to develop addiction if they are winning when they are first trying to gamble. But addiction is caused by trauma, maybe just not gambling addiction.

No, gambling addiction is different
Even though I am not a big gambler by definition, I never drink or use drugs.
So I do not see a correlation between them like you have suggested.

Well, it's not about being addicted to all of them at once. A person might be only addicted to alcohol or only to drugs. Apart from that, gambling and being a gambling addict are two different things.

Poor self-control is the main reason why gambling is bad,

gambling is not bad . its the person that think negative on gambling , makes it bad .

Quote from: BlackPanda on March 28, 2019, 02:09:40 AM

but for someone who can do good emotional control they will get good results.

sure , emotional control can help you secure your winnings if ever you already won but what if you loose? maybe it can help you to not loose more but emotional control cant help you bring luck . luck is still what matter the most here on gambling .

Quote from: BlackPanda on March 28, 2019, 02:09:40 AM

Patience is important and for anyone who cannot control it it will cause severe trauma.

impatient person are not always have a trauma . its really up to the person if he is emotional or not .

Trauma victims open do find ways to get rid of their bad experience alcohol, drugs etc. But for a trauma victim to do gambling I can't find a way to link those two. Gambling addiction often comes from a lack of self-control. Trauma victims cant do gambling as it will only worsen they are experiencing already.

You cant point out that gambling addiction is also a result of trauma.

Poor self-control is the main reason why gambling is bad, but for someone who can do good emotional control they will get good results. Patience is important and for anyone who cannot control it it will cause severe trauma. Believe that when a gambler can control properly he will be able to avoid everything that is bad.

There are many ways for the person to redirect himself/herself from trauma like the use of drugs and the use of alcohol.

The person will just be addicted in to gambling if he will use gambling as a way to redirect himself from trauma. We know that continuous gambling can result into getting addicted into it so if he will not gamble while in a trauma, he will not get addicted into it and vice versa.

Mind to describe what kind of trauma are you talking about? I would assume and if I am not wrong, a mental trauma due to loss of money in business can lead you to get involved in certain activities like drugs and gambling which represents the curiosity of a human mind to make things good again, I believe that is not the solution. Business can give you return as well and loss or trauma should be treated as an opportunity to learn more and make more efforts.

I think everyone has their own way to vent their frustration and a sense of stress and trauma. maybe with drugs, fighting, or gambling. everyone has a different way. but certainly not all players play because of that, I myself have never experienced trauma like bankrupt in bussiness then going to gambling, and I gambled and became an addiction not because of trauma, because it has become my habit

I believe gambling addiction happens to someone when his mind has already been conditioned to be highly gratified when money comes in upon winning on his bets. It all boils down to what one got used to doing to make himself happy or satisfied. If one got used to doing gambling as a major source of satisfaction, chances are he will always feel he's not had enough yet, so he'll come back for more because man in nature is insatiable.

. My question is whether you feel like gambling addiction is also a result of desperate attempts of avoiding focusing on other traumatic issues.

In some cases possibilities are indeed,because winning in gambling giving us a self confidence even in that short time,so if people are traumatized they might find this area as mental booster,the problem is when time comes they are in losing point and this may lead them to more worst scenarios

Traumatic people are vulnerable in all type of vices that brings satisfactions and I believe that Gambling habits can turns them to be addicted so in this case possibilities are indeed

From my experience in gambling only :
1. I cant sleeps.
2. Really addicted to playing more.
3. Can't control my emotion.
I`m a Typical person can't control my psychology. Just like trade, I try to ask the advice of my friend about in this case, they just give me some of their opinions about try to educate your self by some psychology method.

I agree with you, more than this type of problems there is nothing will happen for most of the people but when it comes to a cute edition it will get into some other addiction like affecting it his daughter Lifestyle.

It definitely change our lifestyle and also affecting our decision making. We can't be in addiction if we know already what possible outcomes in gambling but we just letting it to happen causes to fall into badly. Even we've been into addiction we can still stop this if we want to help ourself, its not the end of our life in here(gambling) so there still a way to escape from the darkness.

Generally, only weak mind gamblers become addicted very fast, not all of them. But it is really hard who to save them from addiction. Because i will tell you in my words but act upon wise it is hard to do it. Addiction is very bad it is like a poison in our body. So it is not matter is it addiction of gambling, or drug or anything, but it will be destroy our life, So we should keep it our mind and control ourself from addiction.

I don’t think only weak mind gamblers become addicted. Those whom you refer to as weak mind gambler may probably be that way as a result of one single trauma they suffered from in their childhood. Like someone who has suffered loneliness or who has lost a parent might just grow up to become an addicted gambler.

This has nothing to do with control of the mind, the victim might just see gambling as a means of catching fun at the beginning but before you know it, he would be increasing the fun by spending a lot of time and money on the game just to satisfy his or her desire, he would be thinking his healing the pains and won’t be long, the player is already an addicted gambler. I think it is best for those who has suffered any form of abuse not to gamble at all
