In general, studies of all kinds of addictions, including addictions such as alcoholism, show that women become alcoholics much faster than men if they are placed in approximately the same living conditions. This is probably a natural characteristic of the female body and ffemale psyche. For the same reason, I would suggest that. in addiction to gambling and the transition of this addiction or hobby into a real addiction to gambling, which can safely be considered a disease, occurs faster in women than in male gamblers. I made this conclusion by analogy with alcohol addiction, but of course I am not sure that this pattern holds true in the case of gambling addjiction.
Maybe the pattern can be used in cases of gambling addiction. Still, we also have to know that other factors can cause someone to become addicted to gambling, such as playing gambling continuously, not having control over the use of money, having thoughts about making money from gambling, and others. Maybe men have a chance of becoming addicted to gambling more quickly than women, but men and women have the same chance of becoming addicted to gambling. When they want to stop gambling, there must be a desire from within so that they can think that there are other things they can do and not gamble continuously. By trying to do small things that can enable them to change or reduce their gambling addiction and if they can do this continuously without stopping, they will see that they can stop gambling sooner or later.

It seems to me that in general it is much more difficult for girls and women to reach such a level in their games that they actually require treatment for gaming addiction by professional psychologits or psychiatrists, or even medical treatment prescribed by doctors. Firstly, few women are interested in gambling compared to men. Secondly, women are less risk-averse in general, they are more cauttious, and I would say they would never make such a risky bet for a large amount that a man can decide on. So you remembered a really rare case. And by the way, on the issue of treating gambling addiction in women, the picture here does not correspond at all to the ratio in the treatment of drug addiction, where the ratio of drug addicted men and women is approximately the same.
But I think there are about an order of magnitude fewer women suffering from gambling addiction than men.
Well, maybe the woman hasn't reached the stage of serious gambling addiction and can still be cured because she can still recognize that she has gone a bit far in gambling and finally confesses. We don't know how serious it is if women experience gambling addiction, but it seems like the severity level can also be the same as that experienced by men. Indeed, it may be rare in women because they are not too brave to take risks. But we also don't know if there are women who dare to take risks because each woman will be different. I also think the number of women suffering from gambling addiction is less than that of men but that may require more research.But I think there are about an order of magnitude fewer women suffering from gambling addiction than men.

You got a valid point, quitting is just a start but to remain outside of something that you are already engaged that deep, it's another thing that you needed to fix, moving to place where you can really avoid doing what you are usually involving yourself will help you to avoid making another mistake in deciding your future, it only means that moving to a place where access to any gambling both online and offline will give you that freedom from gambling.
It's a wise thing to do, making sure that you will not go to come back after you made that decision to quit for good.
I have said this in several other threads about avoiding gambling or wanting to recover from addiction. simpler way is just to go to the place furthest from the gambling industry and if you dont have access to move, the main thing you can do is explore the case. I mean, if gamblers really want to quit land based gambling, it would be better to try to lock themselves up at home as long as they can and if they are addicted to online gambling, its easy just to avoid internet access.It's a wise thing to do, making sure that you will not go to come back after you made that decision to quit for good.
It sounds very easy but I am sure it will be very difficult for addicts because as you said staying away from something you have done often is a very difficult thing. but if there is always an effort to try there is no harm.
`
I think that things can be quite good when the person who is a victim of being addicted wants to recover, because if that is the case and they want to get out of it, it is something they already have as an advantage, in this order of ideas things can be flow to be better, of course when you talk about how to do things to have better Chances of doing things, friends and people close to the affected person also come out, the faster the person wants to get out of this, the easier it is for them to follow the instructions, It's difficult when a person is addicted and doesn't recognize it, because basically when things are not discussed about how to deal with it, they go wrong, firstly because the person gets offended and secondly because people who are like that tend to be very determinants, and the mere fact that when a person Usually says something like that, they are capable of getting angry with whoever, then in this order of ideas things tend to get complicated.
I have always said something, when it Comes to casinos and Cases of addiction in people, because things simply tend to go in Other types of Directions , such as lending money to banks, friends, among other things doing 'The situation is more complicated, that's why I say something, if a person practices a Sport, his body and mind will be Busier , he will be a little more tired of his body, and it has been determined, well at least for me, when I do a lot Protect Yourself , because I don't Feel like using my mind while working doing other things , so what I want is to Watch TV, rest, shop more with the family, if that applies to someone who is not an addict, then for an addict who It has all that on the surface because it has to work, for this is what all of us must always prepare ourselves, have a good geti'pon of money, to always be alert not to spend more than we Should , and not Confuse fun with the pressure , Stress and chasing Winning when you Have lost a lot of Money.
I completely agree about sports! Ever played slot tournaments? Similar to casino sports. The rush and competitiveness are limited! Tricks include setting aside a fun budget. Without chips, you're out. Enjoy, don't splurge, and don't confuse enjoyment with winning back what you've lost.
Suppose the machine glitches and gives you extra coins while you're playing. Do you continue because hey, free money? Or leave with a tale? Remember, it's all about the fun of the game and not the chase.
I believe every addiction is hard to quit whether it is for gambling or any other kind of addiction. People of different addiction struggles and fight to quit their addiction and never return to it.
A drug addict who wants to quit will go to a rehab center for support because it is hard to do it alone, I believe the same applies to those who are addicted to gambling, they will have to seek professional help to overcome the bad habit otherwise it will be extremely hard to do on their own.
The worst part is that not only quitting an addiction is extremely difficult, it is even more difficult to remain clean for the rest of your life, and this is because in part the environment in which those people moved incited them towards that direction, and if they really want to remain clean then they need to leave that environment behind, this explains why for example celebrities find it so difficult to remain clean for good, as not only they have a fortune which they can use to buy whatever they want, they must also move in an environment in which becoming addicted again is simply too easy.A drug addict who wants to quit will go to a rehab center for support because it is hard to do it alone, I believe the same applies to those who are addicted to gambling, they will have to seek professional help to overcome the bad habit otherwise it will be extremely hard to do on their own.

It is quite difficult to convince an addicted person to stop playing like that at once, it is impossible, I think the best way is to do a lot of activities, where they have enough fun and I wish it were something sporty, like riding a bike, jogging, etc. can release that stress or anxiety that being in the game causes the person, another option is that if a person normally lasts -5 hours in the casino, then simply reduce it to 2 hours a week, then reduce it to 1 hour and a half the other and then the other 1, until it reaches at least 15 minutes, after that it is totally replaced by sport or by something that tires the person's body enough so that they do not have time to think about playing , that is the way that I see that naturally you can get out of that addiction, however the easiest way is to go to a psychologist and have him overcome it with professional help, which is not bad, but if you need to give a lot of effort to whether you can overcome that problem that is attacking many people currently.This is a very serious problem, the damage that a person with addiction causes is very difficult to control, because the person has a sea of possibilities to find money and waste it in the casino, these things are what one has to avoid, There are people who, normally when they enter a casino, are capable of managing and dissimulating things very well, in this world there is everything, each person is capable of seeing how they can handle the issues of games, casinos and certain things like stress. ., the bad thing about a person with addiction is that instead of enjoying the game, they enter into a process where everything is stress, because they want to be recovering the money they lost, and that causes them to lose more and more, it is the pressure that which cannot be controlled under any scheme, that is why when we make certain movies in the casino we must do them with great restraint, because it is money with which we are tested.
So, if a gambling addict really wants to stop, he must be able to try to divert his attention from gambling. He can try various ways to not think about gambling anymore, and doing various activities might be the solution so that he will not have free time in his room. He needs to see things outside his home to realize that there are many things he can do to divert his attention from gambling and develop a new activity.

Well, to be able to completely get rid of the addiction to gambling is not easy, so we will need the role of other people who can help us get rid of it. However, this must also start from our own self-awareness. because if not, no matter how many people try to help him get out of this gambling, but when an addict does not have strong determination and full awareness of the bad activities he has been doing, then I am completely sure that he will never be able to get out of the addiction.
And we need to know it carefully to be able to change something and this includes our behavior in gambling, so everything must start from ourselves.
It's true that we are the ones who hold the key to control so we can heal this role ourselves, with the help of other people of course it will be a little easier to do, but it still takes time we can't just stop like that we can start from small things doing more positive activities to avoid gambling.
However this is difficult to do if we are in an environment where the majority of gambler so the main thing to avoid apart from ourselves is to stay away from an environment that has a bad impact so that we can really focus on the main goal namely to stop gambling.
However this is difficult to do if we are in an environment where the majority of gambler so the main thing to avoid apart from ourselves is to stay away from an environment that has a bad impact so that we can really focus on the main goal namely to stop gambling.
The difficulty of quitting is only on your mind. If all you think is about gambling and nothing more, it will really be hard to quit. If you focus on some other thing and take a long break from gambling, this will be an easy thing to do. A habit can be easily changed if you really want to. It's all on the person if he really pursues quitting or really wants to continue.
You are right, what makes it very difficult for us to stop any activity is that we think too much about how we can stop that activity so we never do it. I think to change bad habits that exist in us requires a hard struggle to really get rid of them and if there is support from people around us I think it will be better, there are a lot of processes they have to go through until they can really get rid of them.Yes when you have taken that thing as part of your life activities then to leave it is not easy again. And what I think that can make rid of addicted gambler is lack of money. When there is no more to gamble for about months then the gambling spirit will go down gradually.
Everything is easy if you want it hard enough, people that say they CAN'T does not want it enough.
Same with every addiction in the world, if you really want a new chapter in your life, you will get a new chapter, maybe not in a day, but with time.
Just have the will and you will for sure be able to quit EASY.
Those who say they can't, these are the people who are discouraged not because they don't want to. It's easy to say that you want to quit gambling, but we know that it's hard to do, especially for those who are already addicted. So you really have to believe in yourself that you can do it, that you can overcome it. Tell your family and friends that you are addicted to gambling, don't be ashamed because they are your family. It is easier to overcome the problem when someone helps you.Same with every addiction in the world, if you really want a new chapter in your life, you will get a new chapter, maybe not in a day, but with time.
Just have the will and you will for sure be able to quit EASY.
Well, I actually really like the previous opinion, and it is true and completely right, and it is also an option that has all the clarity possible, when one wants something very strongly, it has to be given, or it has to be made available, to Sometimes people will try to bring down the spirit of a person who is in trouble, if they are careless there are even friends who tell you that you are going to die and that you have no salvation, because sometimes people enjoy other people's pain, I really don't know. As there is so much illness in some people, but unfortunately the majority of people in the world are like that, personally I am a very positive person, and I always attract positive things, I eliminate all problems and the truth is I keep all toxic people away, because I don't like the problems, so when it comes to being able to face difficult things in life one must be aware that positivism based on reality does help, I believe that the first step for an addicted person to be cured is for the same person who would like to be cured, and that is a super important step, because a specialist, a professional can help, can medicate, and could provide even the best treatment in the world with his therapies and everything, but if the person does not do their part, it is very difficult for them to get out. forward.
A person dictates, it is obvious that he needs urgent help, either from himself or from those around him, sometimes there are real friends who help you get ahead, if there is any, just as there are others who claim to be your friends and They do everything possible to lower their self-esteem, and those are the types of people who are not adequate, who in some way enjoy seeing people badly, so that is why in all scenarios, environments, one comes across this top of people, in fact here in the forum there are many toxic people, who the truth is are quite unpleasant, who create problems and drama out of anything, so this is what I mean, always think positively, and if a person puts his mind to it, he can get out of it of that Quickly.

i dont think you can force people to quit gambling , its a personal decision and not even for people who are having fun playing . how do you quit having fun ? maybe for you you got addicted and things didnt work out so you had to stop. if you have tips on how the addicted can quit i think you should post it here. i dont think anyone will want to click on that link.
Well, whether it is a personal decision or not mostly depends on the context each one of us has and is living through.
For example, someone who is independent and has a job can certainly decide what to do with their money. On the other hand if we are talking about a young person living with their religious parents in a also religious country and community, I would not be about his choice to quite gambling or not.
We could argue that eventually an addict would do anything in their power to gamble, but I personally think that depends on the stage that person would be.
In terms of influence that's affect how the person will act with how they treat their gambling participation, I like what you said about the people that surround the person who might be prone to being addicted, the chance not to fall that hard or engage that much is possible though like what you said it will be depend from how the person will take it. But again, if that person is being surrounded by people who are not a fan of this activity, his chance to bring himself into addiction might not be that far.
In order to restrain yourself from unexpected expenses, you need to take friends with you who really shouldn't be gambling fans. After all, if they are the same players, then they will not be of any use, but rather even harm. After all, they themselves can fall into a tilt or uncontrolled waste, making the situation of the player for whom they came here much worse. I think it's best to take a wife, because the husband and wife have a common budget and both worry about it not being squandered.
Well, if we are realistic, obviously most of the times wives won't agree on going to a casino with their husbands, most women do not like the activity of gambling specially if they are conservative house-wives.
It would better to go with a friend and previously to settle an agreement with them about adding money individually to a wager poll and in equal parts. The winning amounts from the gaming would also be spread equally amoung the friends. So all of them have a common interest on watching over their budget and not over spend.
If anyone here has managed to marry or keep a long lasting relationship with a woman who also enjoys gambling in a responsible way, then that man deserves my congratulations. It would be something relatively weird to see here.
You have correctly stated that most wives will not go to the casino as husbands, but I often observe new types of families when the wife is not just a housewife and someone who cooks food, but also a friend for her husband, she is ready to play computer games with him and even do extreme sports. But in general, wives will be strict about gambling, so it's still better to take friends with you for your control in games.
Recently I read a story about a family where the wife was neutral, she did not scold her husband for betting, and surprisingly, he realized at some point that he was ashamed in front of her. That she didn't give up on him, but she also suffered financially because of the losses. And in the end, her husband decided not to bet anymore. It's a pity not all stories end so well.
I have got the impression those wives who share the same hobby of husbands are quite liberal in their way of thinking, you know, they do not mind to go against the stereotypes of the house wife. However, it is worth noticing that once the couple get to have children, it can become quite difficult for both to participate in the same activities.
It also depends on how gambling is viewed in the country or location both live in.
I would like to think that most of vives are neutral towards gambling, though, I do not have data in hand to be sure of it.
Quiting IA actually hard if we must be very honest with ourselves, without mixing words, especially online betting that allows you to use just your smart phone or other devices, where you don't have to travel to a betting house or a casino all you need is a click on your smart device and you are gambling already, since it's that was it makes quiting very hard.
Except for situations where you will have to visit a casino or gambling house before you will be able to place a bet we can say in such situations quitting can be somehow easy, if the person happens to relocate and leaves far away from the casino or gambling house they could possibly quit because they can't find their way to the casino or gambling hose again.
But then if one must quit the person must first want to really quit and take a decision in that regards and take adequate steps to effect it one of such step may include probably staying away from every form of things that suggest gambling to them, avoid companies that encourage it etc, but then it's of a fact that quitting is actually difficult because most persons make good money off gambling.

I believe every addiction is hard to quit whether it is for gambling or any other kind of addiction. People of different addiction struggles and fight to quit their addiction and never return to it.

Gambling addiction just like every other addiction isn't an easy habit to end by anyone who's involved in it. For a gambling addict, it takes strong determination and resolve to stop gambling. Sometimes the determination and resolve to quit won't even be enough and that's why the concerned person is advised to seek mental help from professional therapist who'll help in telling him the best way forward after proper interaction with the gambling addict. A drug addict who wants to quit will go to a rehab center for support because it is hard to do it alone, I believe the same applies to those who are addicted to gambling, they will have to seek professional help to overcome the bad habit otherwise it will be extremely hard to do on their own.
Getting addicted in gambling is a big problem for anyone who eventually becomes an addict so to avoid such circumstances, extremists are always advised to never get involved in it at all

But again, if that person is being surrounded by people who are not a fan of this activity, his chance to bring himself into addiction might not be that far.
However, if he rarely socializes with other people, of course, the habit of gambling will be difficult for him to avoid, and nothing can influence him except his own awareness to decide when to stop forever.

That she didn't give up on him, but she also suffered financially because of the losses. And in the end, her husband decided not to bet anymore. It's a pity not all stories end so well.
This means that there is a mistake in managing finances so that they suffer financially. Personally, my wife knows that I gamble and I trust my wife to manage my finances and she even knows that I gamble, even so, I remain honest and open to my wife, not to other people. Another thing, so my wife limits my gambling budget so that it becomes an alarm when I should stop gambling, so far everything is controlled properly.Listening to your story, of course there is a mistake in good financial management between the wife or husband, it could be that the husband is an addict and is trapped by his addiction so he doesn't limit the budget and ends up losing, whereas I personally only gamble on weekends just to look for entertainment, not to look for money. big wins or money, everything seems fine even my wife and I have no problems with our finances. The point is, gambling wisely and limiting your budget is enough

But again, if that person is being surrounded by people who are not a fan of this activity, his chance to bring himself into addiction might not be that far.
