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.

That's right! It's really not easy to stop especially if you are already addicted into it. As we know, addiction is the kind of behavior that requires professional support to overcome because the process of healing needs an intensive guiding. As you've said, those addicted gamblers has a mentality of asking their self of many "what if" and that is one of the major reason why they are having a difficulties about leaving this activity. I'm not saying they shouldn't think about such things but at least they should be aware of what is happening to themselves and better as soon as possible to resolve before it gets worse.

Generally, stopping an addiction is hard and gambling is not an exception. It is not easy to quit gambling because of the mentality of most gamblers. It is the belief of most gamblers that they can win and make it big from gambling hence their inability to stop. Also, some gamblers hold this belief that they have lost a lot in gambling and there is a need to recoup the loss thus there continues trial. In the same vein, some others will say "If I quit gambling how will I get the millions?" When you look at these diverse mentalities it becomes difficult for a gambler to quit.

But I would like to note that all players understand this responsibility differently.  For one player, responsibility begins when, for example, his little child asks “Dad! Play with me, don’t play on the computer!”  And such a person turns off the computer and goes to play with the baby.  But for the other player, responsibility does not arise even when his wife takes away all the money from him, which he will lose anyway, and he goes to a friend and borr ows money.  In our understanding, this is, of course, a completely irresponsible player.  But he himself doesn’t think so.  It is in the understanding of this difference by different people that there is a difference in approaches to understanding responsibility in gambling.  Here, in general, it is quite difficult to determine this very line of responsibility or irresponsibility of this particular player whom we are evaluating.

Exactly,  it takes time before you can establish that pattern why bother to provide or share it freely,  as mentioned,  there are experienced gamblers who manage to create good strategies that simply works for them and give them decent benefits,  they will continue to improve it to make sure they will make a good use of it, newcomer also need to invest their time and effort if they are keen  to succeed,  either to proceed fulfilling their dreams or quit and stop not to fall for more losses.

It makes sense that professional gamblers do not really like to share their methods with others, as those are methods that have taken them a significant amount of time to develop, so sharing that information for free does not really sit well for them, so newbie gamblers that want to become pros need to find their own way and almost reinvent the wheel, and even if after a long time they became professional gamblers I am sure many of them will also refuse to share their findings due to all the hard work that it took them to get where they are.

Not all professional gamblers are like that, and to overcome this, novice gamblers can look for other information that has been shared both on this forum and elsewhere. Beginner gamblers can definitely get what they want by searching various places, and if they don't know or need an answer, they can ask it on this forum, so many people will provide the answer. Yes, professional gamblers will show it with actions and not with words because they feel that novice gamblers are not really beginners. They need to learn it themselves so they can adapt to the conditions they experience. If professional gamblers only give words or advice without action, novice gamblers won't understand, so it's better for professional gamblers only to give it in the form of action and give a little advice.

I can say that there are lonely people out there that can be said that they're on their own and they only find happiness in an activity. One activity for example is with gambling, there is no doubt that someone can do that for themselves but when they get too much, addiction is going to be the result of it.

Well, if you've got a lot of time then it is for sure best to spend that with your family rather than gambling. You can allocate your time and divide it nicely both for gambling and also for bonding with your family. You don't know that it's just going to be something worthwhile while you're with them but it's also no doubt that when you win, you also enjoy right? But going back, if someone has to quit, you need to have a strong will.

That's right, you're absolutely right, a person who is always active with their things to have fun doesn't have to give up anything to feel better, if they do it it's because they feel good, now I think everything focuses on the problems of addiction, which which is something that causes all types of problems in life, it is necessary that the person is decapitated and that apart from being left without money, that person could be left without friends and possibly without family, and that is something very sad, it is something that cannot be It must be done, that is why sometimes there are people who say that you should stop playing, or you should stop drinking, or having fun, of course it is not them, because it is something that does not concern them much, I think that the people who Those who can talk about things like this are those who have gone through that problem and who have been able to come out of it unscathed and overcome that addiction, regardless of the path, through detoxification or by sheer force of will because they have a good understanding of who they are as a person.

In the case of drugs, as I have already said, I believe that it is the most serious problem, because this is capable of killing the person, and if it happens, then they overdose and die, with the casinos, with the games, the addiction of the emotions, but more of the emotions I think it's from that little voice in the brain that tells you, keep going Juan, with the next game and suck you win double, or you get everything back, find a person who is capable Playing in a casino you must be very well prepared to do things well, because otherwise it will be a total disaster, and the truth is that here in the casino, there are a lot of people who are suffering from addiction, where my main advice is , let him play but in short intervals, let him play with the most intensity, that is, if it lasted 4 hours in the casino, this time he reduces it to 2 hours per week, and the next week to 1 hour, and until it reaches 10 or 5 minutes, so that the addiction does not cause you so much anxiety, and so you can get out of it, sport helps enormously for an addicted person, that is what I recommend, although the best thing is that you go to a psychologist who will help better .
