Topic: Quit gamble! Easy or Hard? Let's talk. - page 17. (Read 10336 times)

It can be good but not everyone will get the desired results. There are some gamblers who keep money with others and bring it back when needed. Refusal to pay there can lead to worse than good situations. If someone is unfaithful then the situation can go from bad to worse. If that person is not trustworthy then there is a possibility of losing the money kept with other. It is best for the gambler to gradually control himself from the addiction at his own effort. If he fails completely on his own then he can find the help of someone else in the family who can certainly be helpful to him.

They already have that pollution inside them. An addicted gambler who is already suffering with heavy addiction can't do anything about it, they need to work with the help of professionals and with their loved ones. If they think about quitting, being very vocal can help them find the right people who can guide them.

Quitting is always part of the option, it's just how you control things when you are already in such a situation, always find that wisdom to work with your emotions, make sure you have the right balance of both financial and emotional aspects.

Quiting gambling is easy or hard depending on how far you’ve gone. Even when you go to the hospital and you tell the doctor you’ve been smoking, they’ll ask you what you smoke and how long you’ve been smoking. This is because they want to understand how far you’ve damaged your health so they know what happens next. So, if you’ve been gambling for so long and really consistent, then you’re long gone. And if you’ve been in it for long but you’re not consistent (maybe once a month or even once in 2 weeks), then you’re still safe. It is the addiction that kills, not the gambling.

He had the opportunity to get out of gambling when he saw that gambling was no longer a fun place to gamble and he had also experienced a lot of losses. He has time to reduce his gambling activities and can even cure his gambling addiction if he really wants to cure himself of his gambling addiction. But most gamblers who are addicted to gambling find it difficult to see that they are already addicted to gambling so they will not think about curing their gambling addiction. This requires awareness from the gambler to be able to start the process of healing his addiction. And it can work if he gets support from his family to encourage him to undergo the process of healing his addiction.

It's about the adrenaline, the escape, and the zone, rather than merely the winning. It's a tricky between reward and risk, and a coping mechanism for more serious problems. Acknowledging this is critical. But the road to recovery from addiction involves more than willpower; it also involves diagnosing and disrupting the addictive loop. Does one gamble to escape stress? To feel a sense of control? It's important to recognize these triggers. Regarding the support of family, you are right. It takes more than just being there; it also takes patience, understanding, and occasionally, tough love. Perhaps most significantly, family can support an addict by not tolerating the addiction and by fostering a supportive environment and professional assistance. Understanding the nature of addiction, its triggers, and its emotional cost is a shared journey that is where knowledge becomes power. They can conquer the difficult path to rehabilitation together. It's a shared fight, not just the gambler's, isn't it?

Of course, if a gambling addict wants to stop, they must have strong intentions and determination to encourage themselves to stop, even though in their small hearts gambling is a game that makes them feel happy, but if gambling has had a bad impact, the gambler must immediately stop beforehand his life was ruined because of gambling, an addict who has determination can definitely stop and it is not difficult to do so. What makes it difficult is himself and it all depends on his intention to stop.

It's true that family support is also very important for addicts who are trying to recover from their addiction. At least this can speed up the healing process. With this support, a gambler feels like he has a family who cares about him and supports him in any condition. An addict definitely needs support from other people and himself to be able to do it stop quickly.

I disagree with you OP, if there's a formal agreement between you and the person in question then there won't be any form of misunderstanding fighting, on the contrary, that's the actual reason you wouldn't want to think towards that aspect, because you'd want to avoid creating a scene between you and the person.

Are you trying to tell me that if your wife is managing your funds because she wants to help you fight your addiction, you'd pick a fight with your wife simply because she refuses to release funds to you to gamble with? I don't think so.

I believe it's a good way of making an addict not to always be thinking about gambling, because if you have the resources to gamble at your disposal, then you're likely to always think or be drawn to gambling whenever you're idle or bored. But if your funds are not in your reach, then that will be hard and you'll tend to look for other hobbies to kill your boredom.

But if you feel like you can't totally stay away from gambling then you can agree with your manager to release a particular percentage or amount of funds to you weekly or monthly specifically for gambling, so you know that as soon as you've exhausted the amount, you'll have no other option than to wait, thereby gradually limiting your addiction till you finally get over the addiction.

This is not a good idea it sounds like a punishment, if you can't control yourself when you're holding your money then someone else can't do that for you, you might end up picking a fight with the person cause your the owner of the money and each time you ask you don't receive you will definitely fight with the person, I don't know if you've seen a gamble addict before they're always desperate and willing to do anything to gamble that's why we hear stories like he took a loan just for gambling or he sold his property to gamble. This is where the problem lies no one can change an addict except he decide to change.

For me I think the best way to fight addiction is by letting someone else manage your funds for you, someone you trust, could be your secretary or anyone you trust. The person could be in charge of your funds and would only release funds to you if the reason is good enough. You'll see that if that happens, you won't get the chance to gamble with every little chance you get, I feel this process would be quite effective of one really wants to fight addiction.

This is just likened to alcohol, If your brain doesn't carry it, you quit for your own good. Gambling is to be done in moderation and in any case you find out that you're not acting along the principles you set for yourself repeatedly, the best is to quit, and not just quit out rightly. Quitting from any addiction is a gradual process, its more like a replacement of addiction, you can replace your gambling addiction with possibly, reading, music or other profitable ventures so you can live a sane and happier life. do not just start avoiding the gambling sites, If you try it, you might get worse when you retreat back. the best way is to gently channel that gambling energy to the new hobby and gradually you will quit your bad and destructive addiction and welcome a profitable one.

An addict who has a strong desire will find it easier to cure his addiction because his thought pattern very easy to give advice to and whatever the best advice is, he will always try it because he has a great desire so that the addiction will quickly recover when he wants to do it for his own good.
A gambling addict who aware that he wants to recover quickly will definitely get full support from his family or relatives who will help him get rid of his gambling habit and all of this requires slightly faster process compared to an addict who wants to recover from addiction just because he forced to.

Agree with this mate if could someone is already addicted to gambling then if he has the will to leave in gambling world then he has a big chance for his recover cause like what you said above if the addict help himself then theres a possibility that he can recover and leave gambling for a short period of time. But if an addict don't have support himself then no matter what we do still he is addict . Cause one thing they knew playing in gambling makes them comfortable.

In most cases, people addicted to gambling refuse to take treatment, because in their minds, they are not sick, that's why they don't need any treatment or in other cases they always promise that they will be able to control themselves and that what It will not happen again, but they always return to the addiction, for this reason it is necessary for the addict's relatives to be very firm in their decision to catch their relative addicted to gambling and place them in a rehabilitation hospital, addiction is a psychological illness which means that as long as the person continues to have easy access to the thing that causes their addiction, then that person will not be cured

That is why, in the case of gambling addiction, it is necessary to place the addicted person in isolation, away from any device that allows them to access the internet and play in a casino, it is also necessary to take all the addict's documents so that Even if he had the opportunity to get a phone and go into a casino he wouldn't be able to go through kyc, in the hospital where the addict was placed in isolation there needs to be a device that cuts off the cell phone network so that the addict doesn't have any chance of access to the internet. unfortunately places like these are very expensive, although they are very efficient in curing addiction

and as many families are not willing to spend a lot of money on curing their relative, so they choose to abandon the gambling addict and the end of the gambling addict and being arrested or murdered because he is sick, will steal money to continue playing. If there was a way for governments to create ways to get all addicted people into good treatment with costs being paid by the government, then the situation on the streets would be different from what we see today

A therapist is a professional help I I think nits usually the best you can get to handle cases such as addiction especially when it turns out you want to quit, they have better guide and option on how to help you through to getting to quit properly, although family members and probably friends and others may help in a way buy nor like with a therapist.

And just like you rightly stated, a great percentage of the journey to quiring have a lot to do with the gamblers decisions, if there's a conscious and intentional effort by the gambler to wanting to quit then I think a greater percentage of the problem is almost solved because at this point he will be willing to take every possible steps required or recommended to help quit buy then ita not going to be an easy one buy with a therapist or will be easier and faster than it will be with friends and family helping out.

That's the problem, if the person itself is unwilling to work with his addiction then for sure it just going to be a waste of time for everyone, everything rely with that gambling addicted person as he needs to have that self-will in surrendering to whatever treatment that he needs to undergo, without that willingness there's no change that will take place.

A matter of determination and how both sides will play their part in renewing the mindset of the person.

It is right that professional gamblers only share enough information and will tell novice gamblers to find what they need and look for what can help them become professional gamblers. The methods used by each professional gambler will definitely be different because what they learn is also different, so what they find is also different. This requires experience and building on what they discover so they can find a method that works for them. This method will also be useful for them to be able to control themselves when gambling, which will also help them to stop gambling easily and not experience any problems.

Yes, there are indeed differences in understanding by each person because they also take different approaches to gambling, so this will also determine whether they can become a responsible gambler or whether they will only end up being an irresponsible gambler. A person's responsibility in gambling will be seen from how he can use gambling, where if he is a responsible gambler, he can stop gambling if he has had enough of gambling. But those who cannot be responsible will continue to gamble even if they have been gambling for too long.

Having someone in form of a therapist or family member may go a little way far in helping through, but we also have to consider how effective this could be on the intended gambler being the target, is such a gambler willing and ready to yield to everyone necessary steps efforts rendered on him towards having a change and renewal of mind, or are we the only one too concerned about having this change come through when the gambler himself is not willing to experience it.

Having someone who can guide you will really help to cure your addiction, professionals can provide things that will help both on mental and physical aspects, with the knowledge that they've got, it's easy for a person who also willing to work with his addiction will surely go to the right directions.

It's the person itself plus all the help that he can get from the people that surrounded him to easily resolve his addictions.

There is truth in what you say because there is no point in sharing all the methods have for taking advantage of gambling.
Moreover, when the wrong person knows about this method, it will also have negative impact because they will definitely use it carelessly and without calculation because even professional gambler who has this method still refines and applies it with full consideration.
A beginner will always have an ineffective mindset and behavior that tends to be careless so sharing good methods will also be in vain.

On the other hand, starting from scratch or trying to have good method according to one own path is sensible suggestion because they can find out if an error occurs and can correct it.
Whatever is obtained instantly cannot always have positive impact and building anything from scratch or from zero is process that can result in big achievement in mature way.

I agree with this. It's really hard to treat an addiction in general. Everyone that abused their capacity to do things will definitely suffer the consequences of their actions. It's true that we can choose what we want to do, but we can't choose the repercussions of it. So we should really be responsible in doing things. We can always enjoy without sacrificing and destroying our future. Treating addiction isn't an overnight process. It takes a long time for some to fully recover from it, and some even spend thousands for the treatment and counselling. So it's better to prevent it while you can. It won't be easy to quit. Surely it will be a hell of a ride, especially if you start craving for it. But it will be worth it in the end to be free from gambling addiction. And if ever you overcome that, do yourself a favor and do better next time around. Or just totally quit for your peace of mind and well-being.
