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.

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.

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.

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.
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

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.

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.

It is indeed difficult to convince a gambling addict to stop gambling because they are already addicted to gambling. Still, it can be done, especially if other people can encourage them to do other more useful things. The person can try doing other activities, as you said, and do them regularly so that there is a new activity that can help the gambling addict to divert his attention to gambling. Maybe doing a lot of activities like that can make him tired after a day of activities so that in the evening, he won't have free time because his body is too tired to do anything else. And he won't think about gambling because there is no time for gambling anymore.

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.

If a person is busy with other activities with a group of people around him, of course this can affect his activities, he will certainly be able to avoid gambling addiction.
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.

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

What you say is true, because you are tempted by the winnings obtained by close friends or other people in gambling, of course it will make someone do the same thing, even though it is not certain that he will also win, and if it is not controlled then he will continue playing. Until what he wants comes true, not managing his money when betting and not being controlled when playing is of course a big mistake for him. And at that moment he had resigned himself to the fate he had received, because his savings had run out and he felt he couldn't do anything anymore.

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.

Many people first comes into gambling by thinking about making a lot of money. But everyday they lose and make their balance zero.
These leads to playing more to recover that lost money. Doing these for a long time it becomes addiction. Some people stop gambling conpletely and get back to normal life.
But majority of who are gambling addicted. Get into depression, get into debt, commit suicide, etc.
You are lucky you are not one of them.
Never think of gambling as easy money making machine.

For me, there was a time when I considered gambling as a possibility to make money, but luckily that never actually happened because I was always very unlucky at casino games (or maybe it's because I was really bad) and that's why the addiction couldn't take over me (I think).
Today, I bet mainly on sports games, because I love football and that's why I complement this passion with betting in casinos, but of course... it's all for fun.

Stop betting? Like all addictions, it is certainly not easy to eradicate, it is something that takes time and can often only be done with the help of someone very close to you or a professional.

The first case, which is cited above, speaks of an addiction that is directly associated with dopamine or direct induction in the brain, it is like a food, it is symptomatic, it is really complex, and the second are addictions acquired by frequency and that They also feed that part of the complex brain that needs them, someone recently mentioned this.

Both are addictions, but they are different to treat, it is the typical case of apples and pears, do not put them in the same bag, smoking has an associated component that deteriorates your physical condition and will eventually lead you to death, not to mention that it brings certain associated diseases.

Smoking is so complex that asymptomatic addicts, not gambling addicts, recover quickly, unlike people who smoke.

On the other hand, Quote 2, the family is not always the way out, it is relative, speaking in the case of gambling, you are always alone, the gambling addict has no cure, the asymptomatic addict does, but it is a lonely transition, which is also something relative.

In short, the point is that this issue has nothing to do with addiction, the mere fact of retiring from the game is hard due to different circumstances, some associated with family, work in general, time distribution and that in itself has no NOTHING TO DO WITH THE ADDITIONS. (Sorry, nothing to do with the additions)

It is a bad habit to take everything on this board to the path of additions, we will have to call ourselves "anonymous bettors" instead of Gambling.

Not to mention if it's something you like because yes, there are people who can't leave a single Sunday without watching a soccer game or consulting who plays or doesn't play this weekend, and the news bombardment is worse than the advertising, well The programs are there everywhere.

So quit from to bet/gambler can sometimes be a priority necessity in life and it is difficult for you to do it, but the beautiful thing is that those who are healthy achieve it and those who cannot or find it difficult simply must analyze if they are really entering a spiral. that leads to bad habits, stopping playing for short periods is a good start and doing it for months is a great test. If you cannot do it, you should consult a specialist and start making the decision to stop completely.

In other words, it is not about describing it as hard or easy, it is really a process that goes through these phases.

doing gambling is everyone's right, but behind a right there is an obligation in gambling, namely playing wisely. I say this because when someone is unable to play wisely, which is not only detrimental to themselves but has harmed other people and families because they are too addicted to the name gambling. Then it is legitimate for us as family members, especially older family members or the head of the family to stop the gambling activities he is doing, because if it is not stopped immediately, this will further add to the problem that is worse than just gambling addiction. Because when someone is too addicted to gambling, this often creates a domino effect which makes this problem even more complicated.

They can't because they love gambling so much, it is hard to give up things that you are already in love with and things that you enjoyed. That's why people like should not treat gambling as source of income because most people feel this way and get addicted afterwards.

Yes, sometimes our wives become our safety pin when things get  handful it would be bothersome but soon you will understand that it is good that they stop us because if not , we will be just other people who gambles unendlessly and has a broken family because they choose gambling over their families.

Are you sure that telling family members can help a person quit gambling? Now gambling requires only one smartphone and internet connection, then gambling can be done behind the scenes. so I think it is possible to reduce the gambling by informing the family members but it is not possible to quit gambling. Family members can only motivate but not force to quit gambling. Quitting gambling requires the gambler's self effort. it will only work quickly

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.
