I mean seriously, living life with a gambler can have its major downfalls, but I can think of many other types of addicts that I would 100% not be able to share a roof with.
Gamblers won't steal from you to gamble; unlike a drug addict who will steal and lie to get their next fix.
Those are probably addicts who are addicted to substance or alcohol. But how come those people are going to steal from you and gamblers won't? I don't understand since gamblers feed on burning money in order to gain more money. What's a better scenario than them being in a place where they can take someone else's money without that person's knowledge and be able to gamble with it? I have met some substance and alcohol abusers in the past and they take pride on being an addict but they can afford it.

Gamblers, on the other hand, no matter how rich they are, they can never afford gambling. Some would think that a rich person can gamble and lose money but not worry about it because he's rich, but what happens when he starts betting higher? The higher the bets, the more thrilling it is to gamble. What happens when the person starts going all in, starts gambling with the things he owns (properties, cars, etc)?

Honestly, I would be able to stay under the same roof with people that are addicted to substance. They are just people like you. The only difference is that they are using gambling, drugs, and alcohol to escape reality. If you don't do that, then I'm proud of you. I'm proud that you don't have to resort to doing those things. But you have to understand that this people are just trying to carry on with their lives without destroying anything but themselves. They are not to be disgusted of.

I don't think gambling should be called a addiction it's not something bad or horrible as it's always is portrayed. Not all our alike, not even our fingers are the same size, each one finds a different passion which keeps him sane so I would call it a passion, i believe each person is sane enough to decide for himself, and so I feel each one can make his own choice without being subject to humiliation.
Only people who do not have a future will consider gambling as an interesting thing. The fact that gambling is a bad thing and has no benefits. As people who want a much better future, we must try to leave the gambling game in the fastest possible time.
Indeed, for me, gambling is a worse way to earn a profit and to have fun as well because how will you suppose to be entertained if you are frustrated from losing isn't? And how you can say that is one of the ways to have income if you are always loosing? There's a low chance for you to win in this way, and if you won then I can say that you were lucky enough. But don't get used to it because every time you play the more you come to your worst scenario.
Gambling is really not a good way to earn money because no matter how many times you would win you will end up losing. It depends to the person if he/she enjoys gambling because there are still people who don't get frustrated in losing in gambling because they are already rich.

yes, it is better to search on other sources to earn money because we can get the money and we can also collect the money and I think we have a small risk if we can get that jobs. so in the gambling, we need to handle our emotion to not become frustrated and like you say, gambling is only a ways to enjoy our free time but I am sure that there are many other things that we can do to enjoy the time.

No matter the situation, you should never consider gambling as a good way to earn. Probably people tried gambling because they never know where to start. I'm talking about people who have not yet understand how to earn bitcoin etc. Probably the rich are the ones who really enjoy it but sadly, they are the ones who easily get addicted. Don't you think so too?

we keep seeing topics coming about the negative side in gambling , it's a fact that there are really few percentage that are addicted to gambling but the majority are fun seekers and professionals

I don't see someone coming with topics like getting addicted to video games , or getting addicted to watching movies

I have seen many people who ruined their selves with different types of addictions , but never seen a person who was affected from gambling

the problem does exist , but it's really rare and I guess the majority know the risk and also know the reward

to be honest living in Syria I realized that gambling is the minimum risk that the human being can take
Yes only few people were seriously addicted to the gambling and then most of them can tackle it even if they were addicted to it with their daily life.
Gambling has lot of positivity too but in most of the world it was just portrayed as bad thing to do,like a sin and sometime even like illegal activities that is why many people afraid to be a gambler even if they wanted to be.
Man, you are the only one here I think who is saying this. Gambling has a lot of positivity? Where it is? Why this positivity is not seen to us? Why people are getting so much negativity in gambling and why they are not making themselves beneficial with this positivity? I think this all is just a loss of mind. You are out of your mind or somehow you better become blind with greed for money.
I don’t have any gambler friend because i think that gambling is a bad thing and so the gamblers. I do not gamble because I do not want to lose my hard earn money so easily. So when I think that gambling is bad think how can I have a gambler friend? If he forces you to visit casino with him and you go with him, one day you will start gambling.  Keep avoid of such friends.

Well, the thing is that most people who have realized that there is nothing you are really going to be getting from gambling than losing anyway, will know there are other things you can do to have fun if you really want to have fun without almost giving yourself high blood pressure trying to win some money out of luck.
I pity those who come into gambling with the wrong mindset because gambling itself comes with an impulse that wants to control you and giving up that control before even starting with wrong mindset makes it even worse for such a person.

Don't think all people with no future only consider gambling. More individuals with higher level of life status had more fun times with gambling, rather that other activities particular on sports. Other frustrated persons might be leaving gambling for good but, after all sorts of pain recovery they tend to go back the usual habit. Happiness in gambling cannot be measured specially a person who wanted to live life to the fullest.

Once you become an addicted gambler it is almost a guaranteed thing that you will lose your job or lose your family soon afterwards. The key consist to never become addicted by following simple gambling guidelines you can find many of these guidelines in many different websites accessible to all by just doing a google search.

Being a strong person mentally is a necessary step in order to not become addicted nor to gambling nor to anything else, like drugs, alcohol etc.

If somebody can control their emotion then chances are that they can break this circle and come out of it. For that one needs to have a discipline in life which can sort out many things and they would not be losing much money and family as well.


That's very true. Discipline is key when entering the world of gambling. This works because you have a balance between work- family- gambling and you're not tied to just gambling as your everyday thing. Balance and order in life is important.

A lot of people who gamble sometimes can make it a hobby so gambling can be used as a fun activity because it can try their luck, but it is not worth imitating because every day they can spend their time to do gambling. as much as possible we should be able to limit it and can balance with other activities.

I heard it is so hard to get rid of gambling addiction. I've seen people spending all their money in gambling. Alcohol and drugs fuels the situation as they lose control of their emotions. In India gambling is illegal however, there are lot of people who are addicted to gambling.

Maybe because they can't find themselves in some sweet spot in real life?
Such thing for example a real life solid job to win some gains.
Or because India have any economic crysis?

My questions are:

Do you have the same problem at home?

If you have this particular problem are you trying to solve it?

If you have solved it, can you share your "personal fight" flow and outcome here?

Thank you!


I don't have any problem at home and I don't think that gambling is a "hidden disease" because as long as we can control ourselves in the gambling, we are not potential to be an addicting person. but if I have this problem, maybe I will find somebody in my family and I will tell that person that I have a problem with gambling and I really need his/her help to solve this. I am sure that if we really want to get out from gambling, he/she will give some help and always give a suggestion to us so we can solve our problem with gambling.
Playing gambling in times will make you become dependent on it but also the people who tried gambling for two to three times in their lives only, they also would become addicted to it because gambling is more addiction than the addiction itself. When the person starts following gambling, no other substitute can be found of it for the people.
The dependency is actually attributed to the mindset you bring into it in the first place which most of the time those who actually think it is something they can depend on in terms of making money, earning income, getting rich always end up getting beaten and by the time they started realizing they have been living in fools dream, they are already so addicted from trying to recover their losses without being able to find a means to even get out. Life of gambler can be smooth like a heaven if they limit everything but emotions make everything collapsed which leads to disaster even in life threatening level too.

I don't think that I have a problem at home because so far, I can manage my time between work, playing gambling, and with my family and I can do this with good. I don't play gambling too often like other people and I can hold myself from playing the games in every day because I know that it's not good for me and I can lose my money. I think it's because we have another thing that we need to do in the daily life so our mind is not thinking about gambling. and if we can do this, you can prevent your mind to think about gambling and you can prevent from being an addicting person in gambling. and yes, I know it might be difficult for every gambler to do this, but as long as they have a will and they really want to change their life, I am sure that they can do like what I did. so this is about you and about how to control yourself.

The consequence that first and foremost which is needed to be think deeper before dealing with such activity, being too much engaged to gambling even you will keep denying to yourself that you are already suffering from being addicted into it will reveal you from the results that it will brought to your life, being stress and put away important things in life just to satisfied your lust of playing resulting to nothing but being burned and empty.

The moment when you put gambling before your family and friends, then you know you have a problem. I gamble for the fun

 and excitement, but I know where to draw the line. Unfortunately not everyone know where to draw the line and then

gambling become a problem. Some people will "ban" themselves from casinos to stop, but it is not possible with online

casinos. The best thing for these people is for them to acknowledge that they have a problem and to stop by themselves.  Roll Eyes
Yes.Gambling problems or let's say gambling addiction can only be cured if you admit it by yourself.There are a lot of gamblers today who never acknowledge their problems and so they end up ruining their own lives even their own families.I suggest to gamble only with what you can afford to lose.Setting limitations for yourself might be a great help and of course self-discipline is the only tool to help yourself get out from that big problem you had.
It is very sad to see the families that are ruined by "irresponsible" gambling habits by their family heads and the saddest part of it is that they are unaware of the problem that they have and the root cause of it. Seeking professional advice could also help people with this kind of addiction. Acknowledging it right away will be very hard for them and they will be able to do it if they will be assisted by professional practices.
Addiction should always be addressed right away. It's like a little plant at first, not really taking up that much space. Every time you gamble, you're watering that plant. Until one day, that plan has become a tree. And the roots are a lot more deeper. And the trunk and branches of the tree are thicker than ever. Mental health is an issue that's been around for a long time. People think that gambling addiction is a phase and everyone has had it. Everyone did gambling in their lives, but not everyone got addicted to it. Up to now, addiction is still an issue that a lot of people are talking about, but not really fixing. Mental health is just as important as physical health, probably even more important. Funny because it was only recently when a law in my country was established about getting help with mental health.

As a gambler, you should realize that your life isn't just a life for yourself. Your life is also for your family and your friends. You might think that they aren't affected by your actions but they really really are deeply affected by it.
The true happiness is comes in an honest words. In order for you to solve the problem you need to become honest with what you feel and be honest to your self. There is no other that can solve it but its your own.

Like all forms of addiction/affliction, pain or suffering, it's actually really difficult to empathise if you've never experienced it before. As I grow older, I am more open to trying to understand things, no matter how insensible they seem to me. I can't ever see myself losing control in gambling, but perhaps I've never really made myself vulnerable to such situations. I do find shades of irresponsibility within my limits - countless times losing a bit more than I intended to, a few times depositing more when I promised not to, just to chase back losses. But perhaps on worse days, less desirable personal situations, I could have gone a few steps farther, and then it's hard to say what could have happened next.

Living alone is always going to be difficult, no matter the rigours of self-discipline. It's good to see the recognition that having friends and family help keep an eye on you, having first being open about the problem, is critical to keeping that addiction at bay.

As audacious suggests above, perhaps keep control of finances. Bitcoin makes this a bit easier. Keeping the private keys on savings and income, and funneling whatever you're comfortable with to her, until she can trust herself again.
Well, it is a good thing that you cannot see yourself losing control in gambling and probably that is because you already know anyway that there is really nothing you should be expecting so much from it as long as you know the possibility of losing is high anyway.

With respect to empathizing, I sure do know how it feels since I have someone who was close to me and ended up an addict because deep down, there is just no way you will not feel for them. It is like someone who is inside a deep well and trying to get out but just stuck. It is hard to describe but it takes a lot to be able to get out from it just the same way as drug addiction.
