hmph..
Having alternative activities that will keep you busy will allow you to lessen the chance of thinking about any gambling related activities, if you can help the person to be attracted and be engage with another physical activities like sports or any types of exercises which will give them some refreshment, though addiction also have different levels if you can help to avoid getting to deep and still can cope up with doing some kind of entertainment you can push the person to change up and to completely move away from this bad habit.

Increasing offline activities maybe become effective in preventing us from gambling online. However, this must also be ensured that when he is alone, with no friends to talk, he can use his time to sleeping. As soon as he wakes up, he has to stay away from gadgets again. If he want to open his gadget, use it for other things that don't trigger the desire to gamble. The ease of internet connection and online ads can change everything in a few seconds. In fact, opening social media can make people who initially didn't want to gamble, become thinking to gamble again. The reason is easy, the cache on the device or browser will usually personalize the ads, if you gamble frequently, then gambling ads will appear on our social media pages.

I am of the opinion that since gambling sites are mostly online and some has adds that pops up as advert on visited site, one should be able to disable or change their browser settings  by blocking casino adds and as well disabling  gambling sites on their browser settings so as not to gain access to it anymore till the number of days they deem fit to their resolve. This was just a little tip I gave as a possible solution. I had to put it up here for further discussions so that the bigger community can see it as  well.
Not seeing does not mean you can get over your addiction, addiction cannot be cured that way, when there's a yearning to play a gambler will find a way to play, that is why restricting oneself from playing in a casino a gambler playing is useless, to overcome addictions, you need professionals you need to stop the symptoms and the urge and this can only happen with the help of professionals, self-cure will not help you overcome addiction it may even get your addiction worse, your recommendation will not eradicate addiction.
Steps to stop online gambling addiction are to limit the use of devices that can give him access to visit casino sites. Besides that, they also have to start a new habit related to physical activity so that their minds can be distracted by doing this activity. This can be successfully tried for those who still have difficulty avoiding online casino sites so that they can slowly reduce their gambling activities and even prevent them from visiting those online casino sites. But to do all that requires a strong desire to reduce their gambling activities because they have experienced the negative impact of frequent gambling. If they really try, they will succeed in reducing their gambling activities and will no longer be addicted to gambling.

Try to distract yourself on other activities on which you wont really be able to make yourself that thing about gambling again or would be tending to stop completely or would be having some break.
Quitting gambling on point is hard because we do know that its not really that something that you could really be able to do so on point. This is why it would really be that important that you should really know on when to stop whenever you do see that you are already that seeing things that being compromised specially money and time. There would really be no problems if you do really just that make yourself that sensible on the actions that you are making. This is why it would really be that important that you should really know on whats the things that are happening.

No matter how perfect you are, you can't win a bet always. Gambling isn't a sure things even after making good predictions. Don't be shocked when an underdog win a match. It's high time gambler learn this to help them cope with been addicted to gambling.
It's not possible that you consistently win as a gambler without having to encounter some losses at some points except you stop gambling after your wins that way you may not secure a loss again but if you consistently gamble, chances are that you will loose at some point and it doesn't mean you not profitable or bad at gambling but it's just a normal phenomenon.

Understanding this will really go a long way helping the mindset of every any any gambler as contrary to the previous mindset of a must win at every point which definitely don't happen in such manner, this mindset will also help them reduce their risk of turning addicted to gambling as a result of their consistent chase to profit gambling without understanding they not every day is a lucky one rathe we use some day to further gain more experience on gambling which Also helps improve your gambling skill as a gambler.

yep, exactly. online gambling addiction requires several stages which may be a little difficult to carry out and what is suggested here does not always provide success because gambling addicts still need help from professionals to provide in-depth assistance, provide medication or any assistance to help gambling addicts truly recover from their addiction and eliminate the desire to gamble. but the efforts carried out by professionals require help from the family to be able to provide strong encouragement for addicts to recover from their addiction and a more appropriate way to carry out rehabilitation in the long term without having access to online sites or keeping away from cell phones and the like after that provide activities such as work that can make money and that's when his mind becomes diverted to positive things.

however, all of this requires a great will from an addict who wants to recover from his addiction and the greater the desire, the greater the chance of being able to stop addiction.
Recovery requires specific tactics and support from therapists and counselors. Understand the addiction's origin, not only take medicine or therapy. Why gamble compulsively? Fixing these difficulties is crucial. A robust support system helps in emotional recovery. Healthy behaviors, accountability, and a gamble-free environment can be promoted by family. However, this family journey demands patience and empathy.

The will to change initiates recovery. Best techniques and support systems may fail without internal motivation. This is about replacing gambling with healthier, more fulfilling activities. Transformation is difficult but doable with the appropriate mindset and assistance.

I couldn't agree more. We can easily say that in order to quit gambling addiction we can find distractions like finding new hobbies, or seeking for professional help and such. But if we don't have the willingness to do so, then these things won't matter at all. At the end of the day, if you don't have the drive to do it then you will be having a hard time to stop gambling addiction, because no one will do it for you but yourself. It is only yourself that you can rely on because we are the one who are responsible for making decisions for ourselves.
It's a difficult decision to take, we can only understand if we are in their shoes but since we are just speculators, we won't understand what a person might be going through. Gamblers, even when they realize that gambling isn't good for them and is harming them both mentally and financially, they still find it difficult to just step away from it because they have been involved for a very long time and we all know it is not easy to get away from something that you've been doing for years.

So, bringing that drive in yourself to just accept the fact that it is a bad thing and you need to stay away from it is a big challenge. Some people manage to do it and they get out of the addiction eventually, but a lot of people fail in that stage and they never get out of it.
Exactly we're just spectators but that don't mean that we have to be so quiet about it, we can always form our own opinions about it. I like that you've added the empathy part because that's one of the things that some if not all of us forgets about when we talk about this kind of stories. That awareness about their addiction that's definitely true, a lot of them knows it's bad for them and that they're damaging themselves and their loved ones but they still do it because they can't help it. I've seen this one video about a crack addict that was a former engineer and in the interview he boldly said that yes he's aware of the addiction and that he's still going to do it anyway, it made something in me something profound about addiction.

I agree with you, gambling addiction cannot be cured just like that, there are many things that must be done to get rid of the addiction, also with the level of their addiction which must be seen whether they are seriously addicted or not, because that will determine whether it is difficult or easy for them. to cure his addiction. If their addiction is serious, it is likely that it will be difficult to recover, because even someone who is addicted to gambling is sometimes unable to accept advice or input from other people.

in my opinion they will not recover even with encouragement from professional people, because if they themselves have no intention of stopping it will be difficult, I think before anyone else they must first have the mind to stop their addiction, if they have conscious and having the mind to stop, it is likely that they will try to do anything as long as it can stop their addiction. Someone who is addicted to gambling will not easily accept advice from other people, even if it is their own family, because someone who is addicted to gambling will usually experience a change in attitude and become stubborn. In my opinion, the first step is for them to be aware of themselves and reduce their gambling activities.

Learn never stops, we grow in every stage of our lives. We just need to hits the perfect spot, not addictive but with straight strategy, everything becomes very smooth once you're in the system and acquainted with the activities of the system. Addiction is worsen for gamblers, they have no other thing ringing in their head other than repeating gambling over and over again. Gambling is not easy, always stressful before a gambler would generate profits, it takes time especially when one doesn't have a good strategy to approach the market with.
In gambling and life, finding the 'ideal place' is strategy, not addiction. Learning the system, adapting, and changing. Gambling is a dance of chance and skill that teaches different things with each step. Every gambler learns from losses and wins, becoming more strategic. The thrill of the game and the unknown attract gamblers. Risks and rewards coexist in this adult playground

Consider life's similarities to gambling. Both are unpredictable, but we plan and adapt. In gambling, as in life, we learn from successes and disappointments. Smart gamblers study the game. They realize psychology, math, and luck go into every bet. They learn to recognize trends, assess probabilities, and manage risks - lifelong skills. Although gambling might be risky, with the appropriate perspective, it can be a lesson in strategy and decision-making. Education wrapped in game excitement is the goal, not addiction

what I think is most effective is the gambler's awareness. unless his psychology is disturbed, if not, I'm sure there is still an easier opportunity to advise him, but if his psychology is disturbed because of his addiction to gambling, I think there is a special treatment. In fact, I'm sure that addicts definitely have regrets after they lose, but they will repeat it afterwards and will continue like that as long as no one supports them in stopping their addiction to gambling. My suggestion is to take those who are addicted to other things to earn money, such as selling or small scale businesses, to forget them a bit from their addiction to gambling.

I have seen several topics here and other discussion thread where many people talked about gambling addiction. So many procedures been stated to follow sequentially to reduce the rate at which one frequently visit online gambling sites and possibly their application if they do have any of them.

I remember in one of the threads I raised up a point which was long hidden as the thread became too numerous and lengthy to continue the conversation on that topic. It was my opinion to add up in profering solutions to gambling addiction. I believe not too many people saw it to to say something about it so that is why I had to bring it up as a topic hear. I want to hear your opinion and ideas towards it.

Here is it;

I am of the opinion that since gambling sites are mostly online and some has adds that pops up as advert on visited site, one should be able to disable or change their browser settings  by blocking casino adds and as well disabling  gambling sites on their browser settings so as not to gain access to it anymore till the number of days they deem fit to their resolve.

If you feel or think here is not the right place for this you can say it. I am open to corrections as we all are here to learn.

There needs to be a united front against gambling companies for any measure to find true success. You'll find that many countries in places like Europe have requirements that a company must offer a self exclude function, which is the most powerful thing a gambler can have in order to successfully quit. However it would ideally be applied across all sites and forms of gambling worldwide to be truly effective. At present it is simply too easy to hop around different sites and spend money, even if you did block yourself from one. Whether enough governments can pull together and put pressure on remaining countries to adopt such a worldwide self exclusion ability remains to be seen, but there does seem like bigger problems in the world that cannot be handled in such a manner already.

I will also agree with you that gambling is not easy because here the chances of winning and loss are 50-50%, here you can on at one chance and you can also lose all at once. But the purpose of gambling is only for the entertainment if a gambler became on addicted it is obvious to him stressful on gambling. But those person who gamble for fun I don't think they will become stressful while they gambling.

Once a someone has developed an addiction to online gaming, I don't think quitting will be simple. One issue about gambling is that it might be hard to break the habit if it's ingrained in you or if it makes you feel addicted. That's how you play without getting anything out of it, even if you're still losing. However, some people think they will always win a bet, regardless of the circumstances. A person who enjoys gambling shouldn't compare himself to those lengendaries because it has been a while since they were in it and they also have sufficient understanding about it.
It is not simple and easy to quit gambling and it is even harder when you are addicted. But as OP is suggesting, it is whatever you see that can possibly help you to quit, do it. Even it is hard but it is helping you to quit, that is all what you need to think of.

Because we know that it is hard and then we do not do something to help ourselves, that means that we have already gave up and it is no use to do anything to quit.

But if you insist and persevere to do all of those actions you think are relevant to quitting, just continue what you have started.

Gambling is a business, and we know for the fact that there's no one in the right mind that will operate a business that will just lose their investment. That kind of mentality towards gambling needs to be re-assessed. Yeah, there are experienced gamblers who can play and sometimes win decently, but not because they did that means that you will also have the same outcome.

It's better to play the game for enjoyment, a part of your entertainment and not to exceed anything more. It's much easier to quit if you are not hooked that hard. There are circumstances where addiction requires extra help from professionals. Best not to engage that much to avoid having this kind of addiction.

The gambling site was based on the prediction in the real world,the casino game was purely based on the prediction.If the gambling prediction of the casino was based on the previous bets in the same gambling site,the gambling site had huge story both good and bad.The gambler who doesn't have ths capacity to make the winning in the gambling site,may have the possibility of the losing the same dollar in the gambling site.Many gambler will use to play same game in the gambling site.

Its never been simple, if it was that simple then we wont really be seeing that significant industry boom in gambling on which if people do have that kind of control nor easily do get rid of addiction
then no gambling business would really be that flourishing but rather it would really be just that remain to be that profitable in the sense that it isnt really that progressive. Addiction is something
that we do must avoid because once you do miss out on doing such thing then you would really be ending up yourself on such problem on getting out. Actually it could be that possible
to stop immediately if you do just make yourself that wary and having that kind of discipline into your mind that you should not play or get involved too much.
