Topic: Low cost but effective solutions to gambling addiction - page 8. (Read 3600 times)

If he often uses his smartphone to gamble, it means he is also addicted to his smartphone. He must really reduce using his smartphone so that he can also reduce his gambling activities. Using a smartphone has become necessary in this era, especially since many people use it for work and other activities. It seems difficult to separate someone from their smartphone unless they really want to reduce their smartphone addiction.

But if he does more physical activity, he can use his smartphone less because it can interfere with the focus of his activities. Slowly, he will abandon his dependence on his smartphone and gambling because not using his smartphone too often also makes him not visit the casino where he gambles. Indirectly, it also reduces gambling activities.

Religion can help some people, but it's not for everyone.

At the end of the day people should try different things and see what works for them.

For some as I mentioned it could be religion, but for others it could be family, friends, or a specialist group of people that help. Or all of the above.

the solution is self-awareness, it all depends on the situation, how serious the addiction situation is and it depends on a person's personal character from an emotional perspective, because the average person is addicted to gambling, it is very difficult to stop before they run out of everything, spend time with family and obey. Worship is the best solution in my opinion

The healing of the gambling addiction should be take care by the government,because the gambling industry gives the taxes to the government in two ways.The first way is the taxes was made in the gambling site to the government hosting in the countries.The second money from the gamblers to the government by seeing the gambling words in the bank transactions.The bank will forward to the government,So the authorities of the government will ask the gamblers to pay for the transaction in the gambling site.The bank keep monitoring the gamblers banking transactions after he captured the gamblers at once.

i don't agree fully on this idea. because i can understand if the government will say, they have other important things to allocate their funds with. like for orphans, homeless, aged persons and other important projects. gambling addiction is somewhat for me personal desire that you need to address for yourself. it is your choice why you are on this stage of addiction. and so it is just fair that you are the one who needs to find out how to get out of your terrible situation.

thus, i do understand if the government will provide funds for other pressing matters and not to this type of addiction. if you have the sheer will and determination to change for the betterment of yourself, better do it and not wait for someone else's help. because the truth is, very rare that you can find someone that will sincerely help your situation, it will be your own battle here. because in the first place, it is your own volition why you are in that situation.

government not really care about increasing services for rehabilitation for healing from gambling addiction, all costs for rehabilitation are not fully supported by the government to reduce gambling addiction but they prioritize increasing tax benefits from gambling every year, but I hope that the government will provide support for those who want to avoid gambling addiction by facilitating rehabilitation services at low costs because the costs for health and treatment are high, so that funds for the health sector can be allocated again for rehabilitation to cure addiction to gambling and also drugs.

The enormous benefits the government are raking out from the gambling industry makes it difficult for them to go hard on enacting rigid laws against them that will hamper their activities thereby affecting the rate of taxes they would be paying out based on what they eventually make. But the government has a policy approach they use to balance all of these that the gambling industry doesn't lose out in users base while making sure that a lot of their citizens don't get too entangled in to gambling addiction.


 It was funny to me too at first when I saw it but whatever means to achieve a good result towards a lingering problem I think accepting and working together in attaining it shouldn't be something to be ashamed of even if some other person's may term it weird and make jest of it. No one will understand the agony of addiction not until they experience it themself or someone dear to them is indulge in it.

Well, it's indeed true that if there's a chance that gambling addiction starts to increase and the stats shows that this issue must be eliminated as it's already affecting a lot of people, one thing that they can do is to closed down any gambling establishment or ban it. The thing is most of the countries with numbers of casino has contributed a lot in the economy with the tax they pay, just imagine the impact of it to the economy once they prohibited gambling to the country.

I couldn't help but laugh in the picture but one thing for sure that the husband might have a worse addiction to reach this far, but for sure he is willing to accept that condition for his own sake and for the family. Changes starts from you, if you cannot help yourself you can ask for help from your friends, family, partner, and much better the professionals.

Yes, that habit is what causes people to find it difficult to get rid of their gambling addiction, namely their cellphones where they usually gamble using their cellphones so that people find it difficult to leave their cellphones and in the end go back to gambling again, that's why it's important to avoid gambling addiction because it is very difficult to cure it. if not for my own encouragement to stop gambling.

My friend once broke his cellphone in order to avoid his gambling habit so he busied himself more with his work and started learning to love himself by doing other, more positive hobbies, that's why cellphones are more dangerous than gambling addiction itself, because people who are addicted to gambling are currently in casinos online, most of them are smartphone users and it is difficult to stay away from smartphones which are usually used for gambling.

Yes, everything is changing rapidly, especially with technology developing faster so that people can use the Internet well too. That's what makes them pay attention to most applications where lots of gambling advertisements appear on the sidelines of the application. And the presence of more modern devices is increasingly developing well because they are supported by better technology. If people can reduce their dependence on devices, there may still be hope for reducing the level of gambling addiction because they can avoid using their devices.

But most people still can't do that because they think their devices help them with their daily activities. They cannot leave their devices even for a few minutes. We are more addicted to devices like smartphones than gambling because we can't get through the day without using a smartphone.

There's nothing that's hard if you put in your mind to do it you will always find an attainable way out. If you are intentional and conscious about it then hard is just a word.

The increment in gambling addiction doesn't count for increased boom in the gambling business, people can all play the gambling responsibly and we will still have the gambling industry booming. You should rather be worried if there's an increase in gambling addiction in society for it can lead to a protest from concern citizens to ban or reduce the number of gambling hubs/sites across the society to help reduce the addiction level and that will be bad for the gambling business as an industry.

If  a smoker can craft out a way working together with the support of his family to eliminate his smoking addiction then it can't be different for a gambling addict in getting the solution he wants.

This society is placing the premise of technology and gadgets at the forefront, and when people can achieve everything with just a phone and computer, communication becomes bland, being attentive to most applications is our schedule every day and apps that take advertising dollars from gambling brands and serve them for virality and visibility. True entertainment activities have really shrunk too much, those who stand outside the boundaries of gambling should keep themselves, entering is just like those who have lost their way, no longer able to listen to the meaning outside

And you are right in saying that we have to be really careful and wise about things related to gambling because, after all, gambling can easily make us tempted. Many people have fallen into gambling because they do not have good self-control, so they become addicted to gambling after playing gambling for a while. To anticipate gambling addiction, they must be able to have substitute activities for gambling so that they don't always think about gambling and only keep themselves busy with other activities. They know that keeping themselves busy with other activities can make them forget about gambling every day so that they are not dependent on gambling for entertainment.

If it was easy on the first place then we would see that gambling business or venture or industry wont really be that profitable or wont really be able to boom out but we are seeing the different side of things on which it would really be just that right that you should really be that responsible on the actions that you are making. You cant really just that make yourself that too careless when it comes to spending because it would really be that ended on devastation and addiction would really be coming into that severe manner.Once you do make yourself get shackled with gambling addiction
then it would really be that hard for you to get out or would be able to quit upon. This is why you should really be that careful and sensible on the things that you are dealing with.

If more gamblers realized that they needed to prevent themselves from falling into gambling addiction, many problems in gambling could be solved, and the number of people who are addicted to gambling could increase. But the problem is that these people don't want to realize what will happen to them if they become addicted to gambling. They only think about making money quickly without thinking about what the risks are for them. There is no self-control, boundaries, or self-discipline in gambling, so they only make themselves fall into gambling and become deeper into their gambling addiction. This needs to be addressed immediately, and people who are addicted to gambling must be willing to admit that they are addicted to gambling and need help to cure their gambling addiction.

They need help from other parties, and if there are family members who know that they are addicted to gambling, family members can start helping them by taking them to experts. They must accompany people who are addicted to gambling so that people do not feel alone in fighting to cure their gambling addiction. He will see that there are members of his family who are also fighting with him, so this will encourage him to be able to persist through the therapy process.

I have always said something that can be very real, when we enter a casino the casino assumes and knows that one is of age, and being of age is not just turning years old on the day you turned 18, and that's it, no. , that implies many things, first of all age is the number, but this implies that no longer a child, or adolescent, there are certain things that have already matured and are supposed to be very mature and that the difference can occur at any given time that things when it comes to earning money or making money are delicate, therefore when we are doing all kinds of things like gambling, it is necessary if we have a risk management plan to spend all the money we have cannot and should not be get away, because we would be being irresponsible, and the caisno assumes that one as an adult is responsible, that we are responsible for our actions.

In this order of things, when you Try to do things a little better , you have to take them to the level of the possible, that is, the moment you fall into addiction for any reason , it is our Fault , we Immediately You must Recognize that we can control ourselves and if we reach that stage of being addicted, the other thing that must be done is to quickly seek treatment, or go to the psychologist or something, but we have to act quickly, otherwise we do not have the Financial resources, Look for the closest alternative that often works, calming down the Anxiety and desire to go, perhaps by doing a lot of sport, so that when the body gets tired the mind rests, and like any person who does sport, they always carry their dose of tiredness. It's good to do things like this so you can forget about the game, it's a healthy way to do it without Compromising anything, you can go jogging, go to the gym, something like that, for the moment you get home and feel like Playing , be so Tired that you can only Sleep, that's what you should do.

That is it, they are already addicted as the thing they love doing unchecked has already grown into an addiction. It is left for them to fight this addiction, but it is not going to be easy. I so much buy in your idea as this addiction of a thing has a degree, it comes in stages, and if the person has crossed the red line, it is just like the mad people, they will not know what they are doing again. Beat them, scold them, imprison them or whatever you like to do, you will see that it will not work because their mind is already imprisoned by it. Any available money they see must be gambled and this will happen until they set their account balance to zero all the time, that is only when their eyes will clear.

But it doesn't end there, that is when some will start looking for places to borrow money, while some might beg like those who are collecting alms just for the purpose of betting. Is this not madness? However, if it has gotten to this stage, then the person is dire need of help. This is not just ordinary help, it is the help that requires prayers for deliverance and also seeing a therapist, psychiatrist and psychologist as the case may be. This is why we shouldn't even let this happen in the first place. Avoiding it is only possible if we are conscious of our betting habits and never believe that we can make our life fortunes through it. And we should try as much as possible to be deafened towards what we hear online about gambling success and others, they might be a trap in disguise since most of them are made up, they are not just real.

They say prevention is better than cure so I guess the best low cost or zero cost solution to gambling addiction is the conscious prevention of oneself from falling into gambling addiction. It doesn't take much all it does take is self discipline, being in charge of your gambling habits and with a good money management.

However, for such a person that has already falling into the addiction and intentionally wants to kill it talking to people about it and engaging them into discussion about possible suggestions on how you can be able to deal with the addiction and this suggestions you make sure it's coming from people with a real life experience of gambling addiction. Then ones in a while the addict can also seek the service of a professional therapist too. In this way you can cut cost while achieving a lot.

Maybe for those who listen to advice from other people about the dangers of gambling which will cause addiction, this could be a solution for gamblers to avoid addiction, but if they ignore it and continue to chase their winnings and do not listen to this advice, it is likely that they will get worse in their gambling activities. Giving advice to gambling addicts is not easy if they do not have the intention to stop avoiding losses because their minds have been completely controlled by gambling so the only solution is for themselves who can accept advice from other people and make good solutions to avoid gambling addiction.

Yes, addiction is a mistake, if they can prevent them from becoming addicted in the first place, perhaps they will not experience bad luck due to the addiction they suffer from, and yes, if they are already addicted then it will be difficult to overcome therefore we must be able to use gambling wisely entertainment purposes but not excessive.

Well, I don't subscribe to the way that some gamblers will just be gambling without having plans, which could only be responsible for them gambling excessively, losing and trying to recover the losses. This is common in my experience with gamblers I know, and in the end, they lose their money, but it is at least most of them, not all. And for the fact that it is most of them that are losing money due to that careless act, is why I conclude that your last advice is confusing. For you to lose money in gambling doesn't mean you can't gain it back in the same act and I have done these times without numbers. It depends on the gambler, the emotions of gambling and the kind of game the person is gambling on. If it is in sportsbooks, I just breathe in and out when I lose and wait for the other time when the right available means presents itself to strike even harder. But for casinos, you will have to rely on your fate on that fateful day, but it is not always fine for most. In all, we should not act under emotion, and even before we get into the casino's house or our gambling platform, we should know what we are there for and how we will play until we opt out without any compromisation.
