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, 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.

Someone can realize that their debts have accumulated and must immediately stop their gambling activities because otherwise, the problem will get bigger and the girl can admit that she has used a lot of money for gambling. It's not easy to admit a mistake, especially to one's mother, because it requires a lot of courage. Fortunately, his mother was willing to accept his confession and help him recover. Family members should do that when they see another family member experiencing problems. And it seems that the girl could rise from her downturn because her mother still supported her and encouraged her to recover.

That should be the support given to family members who are experiencing problems so that they can find solutions and help them to cure their gambling addiction. When there is support from their family, those who are addicted to gambling will feel that they are not alone in struggling to cure their gambling addiction so they will really try to carry out the healing process well. They also will not be discouraged in the healing process because they know that their family is always with them and will not abandon them when experiencing problems.

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.

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.

in many cases people feel ashamed, they feel afraid, other people are convinced that they can stop the addiction on their own and then they remain silent even though they see that they are losing a lot of money, then they reach a serious level where they start asking for a loan to play and then Those who lose everything start to sell all the goods they have to take the money and gamble, at that moment the family discovers that they are addicted to gambling and they start fights because the addicted person will refuse to undergo treatment because in his head, he He's not sick, he's just having bad luck, but his luck will change and for that reason he needs money to keep playing

The things that an addict says sometimes make anyone who is close to them, listening to so much nonsense that the addict says, lose their patience. The addict will say a lot of things to avoid admitting that he is addicted to gambling, he will use all kinds of arguments to not go for treatment, which is why in most cases relatives end up giving up on the addicted person, be it sex, alcohol, gambling addiction. bad luck, eating, drugs... they all have something in common, the addict refuses to undergo treatment and there are few cases in which relatives force them to undergo treatment.

and even when they are undergoing treatment, the cost of the treatment is very expensive and those who pay are the relatives and when the addict finishes the treatment but returns to the addiction again, this causes a lot of pain and disappointment to the relatives who once again will have to pay the entire amount. cost of treatment, in poor families they have no choice and abandon the addict, what happens next is that the addict ends up living on the street, without eating, without sleeping well and becomes sick and dies. These are the most likely scenarios that happen here in Africa, a concrete example I see in my country

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.

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.

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.

In as much as quitting depends so much on the person taking a decision to stop first , if we must be very honest it's not easy to quit gambling especially for someone who has a good knowledge about sports and have access to internet and a smart phone or device with little money enough to spare, then the person is just a click away from gambling.

Sometimes it will have to take therapy, or further extra help to get rid of the habit as it usually becomes inherent once cultivated, quiting becomes difficult, but with a strong will and probably seeking for help it's possible to quit. As seen with other habits such as smoking and drinking it's usually not easy even with all the decisions it's possible the person could go back at some point especially when they don't find a good replacement for the habit.

Triggers should be avoided when trying to stop a habit, triggers when not avoided it could make quitting difficult, an example of triggers could be keeping company that encourages that habit, availability of resources used to fund the habit it becomes very difficult to stop or quit the habit over time but when the resources are in shirt supply or not available at all, it could fast track the quiting of such habit

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.

In my opinion, gambling is an activity that a person does so that some people become addicted to this activity and there are also those who can easily get rid of their habit. I really agree with you that if someone has chosen to stop gambling, this will really depend on their own personality and for those who have succeeded in stopping gambling, it can only provide motivation for those who choose to stop their activities. Leaving what has become a habit is not an easy thing, they have to consistently do it if you really want to stop.

Indeed, and she's lucky to realize things and not to add more with her growing problem, with the help of her love ones she was able to move forward and quit away, though not all can do that same thing as most gambler who got engaged too much and turned everything into addiction are people who were unable to admit that they are already having an issue with controlling their engagements and even they are losing a lot they still thinking that they are just fine and they can still work things out, the time that they will admit it is when they already empty handed and they already risk both their health and their financial capabilities.


That's the problem, with easy access with online gambling the force of bringing you back I mean the attraction and the lust of keep playing will be stronger than how you think that you can resist the call, it's important to balance everything and if you have that chance to find alternative activities that will keep yourself busy, that will help to lessen your gambling participation.

Yes, it all depends on intention and hard work, but I have a friend who is addicted to online gambling. Many times he has said he will stop gambling but when he has money he will deposit again, I have given him advice that it is okay to gamble but if his huge debts have been paid off. But he said he was restless when he had money and wanted to gamble

I also gave him advice not to hold laptops and cellphones, but it seems difficult to do because nowadays all communication is done using cellphones so it is impossible if he doesn't use a cellphone.

Yes, it's true that everything depends on your will and intention, but if you have ever felt what it's like to be addicted to gambling or other addictions, I don't think you will say it easily even though you have the will to stop, the process of quitting an addiction takes a long time so it's necessary. The process is really long, even though there is a will, sometimes the will still stops in the middle of the road and in the end you still become an addict. In fact, the focus to stop doesn't have to stop immediately.

Reducing it gradually will help and you don't have to stop suddenly, increase your willingness to stop slowly even though it will take a long time, sometimes at most about a year or more, depending on the level of addiction because each person has their own level of addiction. the easier it is to stop, but if the level gets bigger it will take years, I have a friend who managed to stop gambling and it could take 3 years and that too by reducing it slowly and consistently and with full will, the most important thing is to find a diversion from busyness such as looking for other hobbies so that can reduce it.

I guess it depends on which kind of gambling to tell how addictive it is. Like going to the casino or buying scratch offs? What is your gambling problem exactly? If you're wasting all of your money then definitely quit, seek some help from loved ones or professionally to ensure you quit. Also start looking back into your faith, my heavenly father has always helped me when I asked. Make sure you pray and make your requests known, but first thank him for this struggle, because you are going to gain something from all of this loss....

I think is no different from any other addiction and it goes with the person. If you have an addictive personality it could be gambling, it could be videogaming, watching football... there is a line where anything can virtually become an addiction. Even drinking is known to be "bearable" for many people who are drunk often but are also working and otherwise doing a semi-normal life.

quitting gambling is totally depends on individuals and what gambling meant for them, we cannot ask someone that has been benefiting from gambling and having good winings were as through gambling he was able to take care of needs so stopping it is like telling the person not to feed anymore because he is being sustained through gambling but there are some persons that has allowed gambling to cloud there sense of reasoning were as all they think of is just gambling and being so obsess in gambling those kind of person can be very hard to stop gambling because they are addicted to it. One thing I observe in life is that is very easy to develop a habit but very difficult to leave it if use to it.

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.

So it is possible that many people actually become stressed because of gambling and losing. I'm sure that actually not many people can have fun by gambling and manage their finances well. Even though I can manage my finances, sometimes I can still get emotional and deposit again after losing gambling. If this condition occurs, my financial condition will definitely be bad because I spend too much money on gambling

So, no matter how you gamble and how much money you spend gambling, as long as you are responsible and ready to face it, it certainly doesn't matter. However, you still need to pay attention to your financial capabilities, otherwise it will be very dangerous for your finances
