That's right, it is very difficult to provide education or understanding to the public about the real dangers of gambling, because they only see luck, namely winning, so they will be interested in doing it. If people also see the negative side, namely defeat and the bad consequences of gambling, they will think carefully about entering the gambling environment. Moreover, if you are already addicted, your life will be full of problems and this must be really paid attention to for someone to enter the world of gambling.

Individuals who are consistently losing money in gambling to consider quitting for their health and well-being. They stress the importance of prioritizing life over the pursuit of money through games of chance and sports betting. The message underscores the need for responsibility in facing the realities of gambling and acknowledges that there are more important aspects in life than the casino or other forms of gambling.

One of the things that is not Easy to leave is the game , Especially when you Acquire a habit , because when you acquire a habit and things that we are used to doing it is difficult to leave it, it is like leaving a person who you have shared with Someone for 10 Years or something like that, the fact that they leave or that they leave them is going to hit a lot, and that is something that many cannot resist, it is the same with the casino , if it is stopped at once it can cause one of those Reactions when They are detoxifying drug users, the person is not well.

Players who are thinking About making Money have to understand that they will not quit, but if a person does nothing but lose and lose, they have to leave the game for their own good, for health and for Everything , it is not healthy to lose all the money, I have money in games of chance , sports betting, because life is More important than other things, the casino is not everything, you have to have a lot of Responsibility to be able to face Things as they are.

Another huge factor that is making gambling disorders to become more common is the detrimental state of our economy, due to the pandemic many people lost their jobs and found themselves in a difficult situation, and with no good prospects around them they had to figure out a way to make money, and some of those people decided that gambling was a good way to do it, however those people broke one of the most important rules when gambling, which is to not bet money we cannot afford to lose, and when they did they became desperate to recover that money and this increased their problems instead of resolving them.

Are we talking about other people in this case? of course if it is another person we want to stop his gambling addiction is a difficult thing, because it goes back to the person who has the addiction, in this case never change someone if he himself does not have the initiative.

Yes, the biggest factor is the amount of free time a gambler gets so that he thinks more about gambling than what he has to do, because such a position puts pressure on the desire to gamble, but on the other hand there are also many people who are busy but when they have a gambling addiction they will always be able to make time to visit the casino, no matter what the situation is, this goes back to the priority point in his mind. So the main thing is to quit the addiction is to divert your mind to other things that can drain your energy.

That's why it's difficult to educate the public about the dangers of using gambling to get extra income because they have seen several people succeed in getting it. Because the desire to get money from gambling is getting stronger, they keep trying to get it. And even if they have to spend more money, they will still do it. If this is the case, they will find it difficult to stop gambling unless they realize that what they are doing is a mistake and try to fix it by leaving gambling. But if they are addicted to gambling, it will be even more difficult because their mindset has changed and this must be corrected first before curing their gambling addiction.

I don't blame your opinion, because everyone's views will be different and varied😊.
 Yes, in fact in society, people from the start have considered gambling as a way to earn additional income apart from real work and this can influence people to become gambling addicts.
It is very difficult to stop when someone is addicted to gambling. What was on his mind was how to get what he wanted all this time even though the method he was doing was wrong.

this means that it is hard or easy to stop gambling depending on our mindset, right?
Indeed, logically that is true because we will bear all the responsibilities ourselves, so whatever happens, even if the casino offers a tempting promotional offer, of course, as experienced gamblers, they will not be tempted by things like that because they already know and have experience in getting promotional bonuses. It's not an easy thing so dont be tempted at all.

and on the one hand, if all gamblers have a healthy mind and know how gambling works, it will be very easy for anyone to stop gambling because they gamble just for fun and only come once a week or once a month. so gamblers like this will never have difficulty limiting themselves, stopping gambling and choosing to live a healthy life without gambling, even though there are lots of casino promotional advertisements, they still have a very strong commitment.

Stopping or curing gambling addiction needs the collaboration of the addicts to respond to therapy. Like any other sickness, the patient needs to respond to treatment. The same applies to gambling addiction, even though the gambler can't do it alone, if he doesn't want to change or attend therapy sessions, he won't be able to heal or get cured. Addiction works in different ways for people, and the goal for any gambling newbie is to understand that in gambling we all need to remove addiction from our minds. It's fair to be cautious of something, but a person who doesn't think of it or know about it has no reason to be cautious about that same thing. A person may not detect earlier whether he's addicted or not, but along the line, he'll learn that his actions are becoming glued to gambling and he won't control it anymore. Hence, he may not be able to get hold of himself to gamble only two times a week. Provided he has some funds, he'll gamble every single moment.

While those who have no access to money will need to borrow or do some other risky things to generate money for gambling, some addicts who have not gone deep can begin to rethink why they're in a bad financial situation. Luckily, they'll have observant family or spouse who would be concerned about their situation and may begin to question them about their new behavior. Whenever a person's behavior changes people around him notice it and most times neglect to take actions or engage in a discussion that can lead the person to say, unknowingly, what's the problem or makes him transfer aggression to people around him. Indeed, gambling is fun, but addiction spoils the whole concept of gambling. However, it's self-inflicted, nobody is to be blamed for it. The factors leading to addiction, can't be completely known. Most often the actions or habit of the addict aren't their fault. Therefore, whoever is close to an addicted person should take it upon themselves to help the person change.

What makes you think you can convert an addict more especially the ones that get angry over every little argument concerning gambling, I don't support the idea of convincing an addict to stop doing what they love, if the person is ready to change then that's when we can help but in a case where the person keeps insisting to gamble how can a friend help, if anyone keeps insisting to change an addict it might result to fighting.
They're many means to stop the addiction of gambling if the person is ready for example visiting a therapist, that's a good idea especially if the gambler sells property and take loan just to please his desires visiting a therapist will help, secondly let's observe 90% gamblers addicted to this act are never busy with work so they spend more time on casino shops, the idea of getting a job that's stressful and occupy more time during the day will help reduce the addiction. Have seen a lot of people quit gambling cause they made the decision and worked towards it.

Gambling sites are built and developed to make money, they offer various profit bonuses and also very good marketing to attract the interest of gamblers, this is why errors in understanding occur in the minds of every gambler.
Those who only aim to have fun will sometimes be fooled by various ambitions to make money and of course this happens because of the opportunities they see for winning.
And there are still various streamers who broadcast big wins, which makes gamblers even more curious and really want to make more money, from here, gamblers will feel confident that they can win and they forget about the risks and spend more money.
It will be very difficult to control and you will never be able to think properly if gambler has experienced this condition because they still have thoughts, desires and ambitions to be able to win and win.
Anyone must feel the same thing and of course when all that happens it really makes it difficult to limit gambling time or to stop.
I have encountered the same problem several times from many gamblers and of course they must be able to have understanding and awareness in making efforts to become much more controlled gamblers.

Yes, you are right because gambling gives people who gamble the opportunity to try to win some money if they are able. And that's what makes many people continue to gamble and don't seem to notice that what they are doing is not right. They should understand that they can gamble but not to chase wins and only to have fun. Once they have had enough of gambling, they must immediately stop gambling and leave the casino because if they still stay there, they could be tempted to continue gambling and that will cause them to experience even more losses. And because casinos make advertisements that say someone can get a big win, it makes people not want to do other activities that can also provide the same pleasure they get in gambling.

Maybe the enjoyment will be different from gambling if they do other activities, but at least they can reduce their losses in gambling. Also, they don't need to use a lot of money to be able to enjoy other activities. If someone really wants to stop gambling, he should start training himself to be able to master good self-control and start reducing his gambling activities by doing other things so that his mind can start to be distracted by other things. This will be useful for creating a new mindset that will not only think about gambling but also think about other things that can also provide pleasure.

Though, even though I agree with you gambling is supposed to only be view as entertainment, the true is there is much more than entertainment and fun in gambling. For example, when someone thinks of entertainment and fun, several times can come to mind: videogames, going to see a movie with friends, driving around the city, several things alike. Though, the big difference between those activities and gambling is the fact the gambling and casino industry advertise the massive wins of their gamblers for the sake of improving their own reputation and also to seek to attract new gambler into their services. Automobile makes, cinemas and videogame companies do not advertise their products and services by showing someone who gained millions by using them, so that expectation does not exist in those Hobbies. In the casino there are expectations and in many of the times those are held by novice gamblers who do not understand how that kind of advertisement is supposed to work, thanks to those ideas and expectations (which are negative) there will be always the small thought in your minds about doing money off the casino, regardless we are there for only fun or not.

The distinction between gambling for fun and gambling for profit is real. Gambling should be fun, not a source of income. Just bet for pleasure within your budget. This requires discretionary funds, not needed income. Gambling becomes riskier when it becomes more than just fun. "chasing losses" is always dangerous. Gamblers seeking quick fortunes are more addicted. The constant chase of the "big win" often leads to loss and desperation. Its a risky game with low odds.

Addiction treatment is difficult. Problem recognition by the individual is key. Friends and family can recognise the indications, but the gambler's admission is the first step to recovery. Effective intervention requires self-awareness, which is often difficult. Gamblers must accept their circumstances to recover.

That's why we really need self-control when gambling so that we don't gamble beyond our limits. While we are gambling, maybe we don't think about this because of the pleasure we get, but when we can think clearly while resting, we can find something useful in making decisions. We can avoid gambling addiction, which has been experienced by many gamblers out there because we care about our lives, and we also have people with whom we can exchange ideas or share whatever we want to share with them.

And we are indeed in control and we should not fall into gambling because gambling is just entertainment that other types of entertainment can replace. When we realize this and want to control ourselves, we will be able to use gambling as entertainment and will not gamble too often because we also don't want to take too big a risk in gambling.

Basically, gambling addiction is a very troublesome thing, especially since it can destroy a person's life. I think gambling addiction can be categorized if someone does it every day and even when they lose continuously and for someone who does it because they want to relieve stress once or twice a week that is not considered a gambling addiction.

Everyone can categorize themselves as being heavy gamblers or not and as long as they fail to control themselves then they are definitely addicted to gambling. However, this does not ignore the fact that sometimes there are gamblers who have run out of money but still borrow money from their friends and that is where the peak of gambling addiction becomes increasingly difficult to stop. So again, being able to stop gambling is something you can do yourself, not someone else.

While looking at what the topic creator have written above you will see some kind of contradiction but in another dimension you will understand that there is no contradiction in the statement above. What the creator of the topic meant is that gambling is strictly or should be strictly for fun and not as a major source of income. So it is important for anyone who is gambling to do so for fun and whenever someone is gambling for fun they will not necessarily use a huge amount of money that will affect their personal life to gamble. A gambler who gambles for fun will always use a spare money for gambling or in the other scenario he will have to have a budget from which he gambles and immediately he runs out of fund according to his budget he will stop gambling. But in the other hand the man who gambles in order to become suddenly rich is at a very high risk of becoming gambling addict. Is the man that will have to use a few cents to win millions of dollars and the more this man tries, the more he fails and the more he fails will be the more he chase his losses and in the end of the day he can have two or more winnings that will motivate him to continue wasting his money and that will eventually become a habit and that is what we call addiction.

It is true that not all addicts agree that they have been addicted. In fact it does not even matter if they agree or not because most times the addicts do not actually know that they are addicted. It is their friends and family members who will notice the change in their behavior and know that they are addicted. The whole thing is that if a gambling addict does not admit that he is addicted, finding solution to his problem is a waste of time. An addict must surely know that he is addicted and sincerely seek for solution before he could be cured.

Indeed, those who realize it as early as they can turn to addiction may find ways to look for another source of entertainment. I guess you need to work on it as a self-disciplined thing, no one but your own self who can help you when dealing with gambling, most of the time, a person who gets addicted needs professional help plus support from family members or close friends to back up the changes that they need when treating these concerns.

You need to be practical and always be in control if you don't want to suffer from any types of addiction and allow yourself to
move forward in terms of quitting your way.

This post is a bit ambiguous, you tell people to stop being addicted to gambling, but you also tell people to have fun while gambling.
What you need to know is that each person's gambling addiction cannot be predicted. There are many people who consider themselves addicted but they only play 2x a week.
There is also the opposite, playing gambling almost every day but not wanting to be considered a gambling addict.

So let them enjoy it, they addicts will have their own way of gambling.
Whether it's when you run out of money or don't have anything or even an internet connection to gamble online.
Because what I understand here is that you are talking about online gambling addiction.

They have to know that they can't beat the house. They can only enjoy their gambling activities without being able to make big profits, even though they can sometimes win from home. But the amount they win will not be as much as the amount they lose so it is still difficult for them to win large amounts of money. Stopping gambling is not as difficult as they imagine but the problem is how strong they desire to stop gambling and not use gambling anymore to get pleasure.

If they can do that, they will have no trouble quitting gambling and they may not even come close to gambling again. Those who realize this will try to find other types of entertainment that will not use up too much money so that they can save money for other purposes. And when they manage to save their money, maybe they will be surprised to see that they can collect quite a lot of money without gambling.
