Gambling Addiction - Despair to Recovery - 12 Step Therapy

It is not that easy to eliminate gambling addiction but one of the ways to kill gambling addiction is when one have really realised how dangerous the addiction is to himself,  one can think of the best way to stay from gambling but if the addiction is not a problem to someone it will be difficult to come out from gambling addiction.  Making good decisions a strategy to come out from addiction,  without having the ability to make decisions addiction will still exist.

Getting rid of gambling addiction is not easy. it should really be tried slowly. or if we are really addicted to gambling, it means we have confidence that we always win in every bet. try to utilize it in business, or trade. Be principled, I'm sure that today my items are sold out. without thinking how it sold. At least it also cures you of the addiction to gambling.

The spiritual approach is not easy task in the gambling,because the gamblers is like won’t obey other words in the addiction.The source of the addiction in the gambling is due to the greedy approach of the gamblers.The gamblers will continue their way towards the multiple game till the maximum winning was achieved by the gambler.The gamblers are mostly will not trust the god and mostly atheist in nature.Some people do the rituals to get the luck on the gambling,sometimes it will be achieved and some times it will be failed.After some loss,the gamblers become an atheist by the huge bad luck in the game.

try to remember the children and wife. I'm sure we have those dependents. we must be responsible to them. If we are addicted to gambling so we neglect them and even have to sell some of their original assets for gambling, what will happen to them? I think this can help us not become addicted to gambling.

Of course it will take time and of course everyone can do it to escape gambling addiction. Maybe for me, what I do to get rid of the thought of continuing to gamble is to do other things, such as watching and keeping myself busy in various other activities so that our minds are diverted to other things and forget about gambling. Indeed, there must be support from those in our sphere of life because if our friends gamble then you won't be able to do this.

Apart from that, slowly you can find a new form of comfort from activities other than gambling and if you implement this successfully within a week, maybe you will be able to get rid of your addiction to gambling. Indeed, in gambling, the management level must be in our minds to adjust the level of expenditure in gambling.

I wonder if we have that here that has hard addiction to it, that would really be a rare case, you mean a problem gambler that down to the core in addiction? I guess you just have to be consistent to always avoid it or you need to mitigate that urge to gamble. Moreover, I think consulting with a professional will be the best course of action.

Regrets do always come at the end and this is something that you should really be that trying to avoid as much as possible on which you should really be trying out to lessen the risks as much as possible but since we are

talking about gambling then this is a venture on which you would really be that needing to spend money to get that kind of leisure and entertaining for yourself but most likely, this would really be talking about
making profits or winning where gamblers which they do mainly be thinking and pursuing on which this is the reason on why this market is really that booming up or really that increasing.
Reading up on others experience would also help yourself to be wary on what are those other people experience specially on addiction and how they do able to cope up and recover and to those who do completely fail
on doing so and ended up miserable.

The only thing that you should really bare in mind is that you should really know on when to stop and when to have a pause on the time that you are seeing that things starts out to be messy
specially when it comes to finances. Its impossible that you wont really be able to notice it out if there's already something wrong on this part.

I don't get what  spirituality has to got to do with gambling, are you trying to say these gambling addicts are possessed with spirit of gamblers and that's what is behind their addiction? Are you erasing greed, loss chasing, lack of self control etc out of the picturesque of habits that incites addiction. There's no fetish power behind gambling addiction, what I know is that people normally perform some kind of rituals before activating self to gamble as just a way to brighten their fortune and luck for winnings beyond that it is circumvent to tribute gambling addiction of gamblers to spirits.

For sure, there are many people got that same sentiment as yours. After losing huge, realize that there's a big problem when you already become addicted to gambling.

You will just notice those realizations when you already experienced something like that, good for you that you manage
to change your mindset though gambling still exists, but dreaming big out from gambling, chances that you will chase
for something big that can lead you to lose more.

There are many gamblers who at some point became addicted gamblers and have been able to recover from it. I myself have had experiences where I was able to realize something after losing a big assets. Because I was dreaming of realizing big dreams from gambling which at one stage taught me that gambling platform is not a place to realize dreams.

With having loss or gain one should get pleasure. When I saw that if I had invested or deposited the money which I lost every month, I would have saved a lot of money today. After learning this education I have been able to control my gambling. I still gamble but with full of control.

It sounds like you're saying that the drop in gambling is a direct result of more tasks, which isn't always true or a good way to find relief

It's hard to take this: Not not having any duties to "distract" you is not the main problem; the problem is the gambling habit itself. The problem is still there, even though you've cut back on it because of work or family. How can you be sure that you've got it under control? Say something if things change. Have you thought about tools like self-exclusion programs, time-outs, or spending limits? For healthy gambling, this is what experts say you should do. Your current plan doesn't seem like a real answer; it's more like a band-aid. Something to think about

I have a close friend who is a gambling addict, he spends about $10,000 a year, which is a lot of money for my country. Now he can stop, the reason why he stopped is simple, because he has no more money for deposit. Now he has debts at the bank, so his salary is used to pay the bank, he no longer has money to deposit on online gambling sites. That was the reason he could stop

But the experience above is still better, one of the youths in my city neighbor hanged himself because he lost a lot of money in online gambling. I don't know how much he spent on online gambling sites. However, this person was still very young and had not worked, maybe he was stressed because he lost so he decided to hang himself from the tree behind his house

Money is not the answer to many things, you can get addicted and yet in this situation money cannot help deal with it except you take some personal precautionary steps to ensure you get yourself free of this by yourself, gambling addiction is not that easily controlled, we may need the help of other factors to help us through this process and the first is to avoid having money with your gambling wallet account in other not to have access to gambling when you're not with money, you should not deal with the addiction first but what is causing the addiction should be your first priority.

Gambling addiction takes a serious toll on a person's life. When a person becomes addicted to gambling, he is not considered a normal person. I have a lot of experience in gambling. But I never turned this gambling into an addiction. Although sometimes I was a bit attracted to gambling, but thinking about losing, I refrained from gambling. Whenever I thought about losing, I stopped betting. That's how I completely abstained from gambling and got my life on a nice tidy path. In fact there is no such thing as addiction it is entirely driven by human conscience. People can give up any addiction if they want to. Just need to awaken the will power of his mind. Then you will see that you have achieved success in everything.

Each person has different way to stop gambling addict.

Let's say you were a gambling addict and you can stop gambling after winning $5,000, but some gamblers might will try to gamble more when they get a big amount of money. Most of them will stop after losing everything including their house.

It's better to force the gambling addict to meet a professional or doctor.

This is impossible to do in online casino which is very easy to create an account since it doesn’t require KYC at first and it’s very convenient to deposit since they both accept crypto and fiat whichever works best to the player.

Removing the money available for gambling is the best thing to do just like your earlier thoughts. This helps me a lot when I have trouble before to manage my gambling addiction. I involved my wife for holding my finances and just ask money that I really need which my wife is very strict to control it as per my instruction too. 

Haven't you heard that gambling addiction will immediately disappear, as soon as you run out of money, creditors will no longer trust you, and all your property will be mortgaged and sold?

So don't worry - very soon this disease will pass by itself.

Case Tip: Stop playing. At all. Eliminate the ability to play for yourself. Remove passwords from online casino accounts so that you can't log in and play.

It worked for you so it could and couldn't work for the others. But, I agree to what you've said that we have to spend our time in many things so that you'll get busy and you'll forget gambling.

Just catch up with other things that you have probably forgotten to do and that will force you to focus on it and then forget gambling later on.

The management of your time is important to help you overcome it. Those that have been strongly-willed are able to win over their addiction.

I used to be an active gambler but not addicted, and now I'm not like before who only gambled on weekends even when I felt like gambling.
At that time I didn't have a permanent job, but I did have income from freelancing, and the proceeds I always used to gamble because I had a lot of free time so I just gambled.
And after I had a permanent job, my gambling activities decreased because I didn't have time to do it and worked from Monday to Friday and apart from work I had enough rest time. And can only gamble on weekends with limited money and time and only to fill spare time after work stress.
And what made my gambling activities decrease again after I got married and had children, and this made me gamble less and less because on weekends is my time with my family.
And sometimes it's a shame if I spend money even though I don't have much money to gamble because my wife and children need it more, but that doesn't mean I don't gamble at all. And I still gamble when I have free time after prioritizing everything and when I really want to, and for just a few dollars, with money I can afford to lose.

And this experience really worked, because I had a friend who was addicted to gambling and he stopped gambling after he had a job, got married and had children. Because time is what keeps gamblers playing because there are no other activities that really matter, and there is also someone to keep them motivated.
