If a person finds it difficult to stop his gambling activities and tends to want to continue gambling, that is a sign that he is starting to become addicted to gambling. With the signs before that, he already feels that something has changed about him. He should immediately try to reduce his gambling activities before everything changes because when someone is addicted to gambling, he will not be able to see other things and will tend just to gamble.

And people who are addicted to gambling will not find it easy to stop their gambling activities. They will instead continue their gambling activities because that has become their priority, and they do not want to do other things. If you are starting to feel that you are too involved in gambling, you should start reducing your gambling activities before you really get too far into gambling.

Just because you can, it doesn't mean everyone else can. Brains can act very differently and can be wired differently when it comes to need of dopamine, and while rational thinking help, it doesn't always help. Addicts many times understand that they shouldn't do something, they just can't help themselves not to. This is why people need treatment in the first place, as without it they are taking extreme measures that doesn't make any sense to someone who has more control over their decisions.

It's true that want to be healed needs to become inside from the addict, but sometimes that's pretty much one of the few things addict can have control over to. And lots of the times addicts don't really want to heal for themselves, but the pressure and people around them. And gamblers can definitely benefit from drugs. Bupropion for example helps for all sorts of addictions. It however doesn't give a reason for people not to play, it just helps with the addiction and compulsive need for something. And Concerta can help people with ADHD to act less impulsive, stay focused and follow plans. That can be essential for fixing compulsive behavior for some people.

         -   Yes, you are right. The only scary thing about gambling is that when a gambler has an addiction, there are other casino players who become violent in their actions, sometimes even having suicidal incidents, which is not good.

But if a gambler is responsible and can manage his gambling habit correctly, I think it's fine, as long as there is no addiction in the personality of the gambler at the casino. But if you really feel like letting go of gambling, it's good to do it little by little, as much as you can.

Same with other addictions without self-will, it is difficult to remove, you can quit if you have that mindset that you want to stay away, and with the help of all people who are caring about you, that kind of struggle can be workout, to the point that you will be needing professional help, but it is indeed that self-will is always the key factor to quit away.

There are people who can quickly deal with it as the will inside them is really dominating, but for those who are heavily addicted, it's tough and there's a long process before they can let go.

​

Addicted players who don't wish to change are the hardest to heal or cure of their problem gambling. Every other addicted player can be rescued out of his gambling struggle. Families can achieve it with the collaboration of the addicted person. If he's not ready to comply. He wouldn't think of letting them know in the first instance. Addicted people have the tendency of hiding their habit from any third party, not minding if they're family or not. People don't want to be blamed for their habit. Especially when they're still comfortable with the habit. Hence a family that wishes to change a member from addiction, should be willing to engage in constant discussions with the person. The aim is to know as more information as possible in the person's life. How they discuss about gambling. They can mention about how much they spent during their last gambling session. Whether a person is known as a gambler or not. He deserves to be loved and allocated some discussion time. It matters in figuring out what the person is under passing hiddenly. The more the problem is hidden, it escalates internally in the person, thereby increasing his pains and suffering. Instead of them complying and sharing the problem with people, they'll think it's preferable than getting rejected or blamed by other people. Who may go ahead to spread the news of their ill condition. In a nutshell, our thoughts are different.

Gambling is an activity that involves taking risks and betting money or other assets on an uncertain outcome. Gambling may be an exciting and exciting experience at first, but it can quickly become destructive to lives and personal relationships.Stopping gambling is not an easy process at all. You may find yourself stuck in a spiral of addiction and debt, and don't know how to overcome this huge challenge. You may want to continue for another dose of thrill and a chance to make up the money you lost, but the painful truth is that gambling will only provide you with more losses.

However, this does not mean that stopping gambling is impossible. You have to start by taking responsibility and admitting that you have a problem. It is essential to seek help and support from professionals who specialize in addiction and psychotherapy. It can be difficult for an individual to decide to stop gambling, so support and engagement with people who understand your problems provides a safe space to heal and discuss the challenges you face.You may experience setbacks and find it difficult to keep going, but by continuing to strive toward wellness, you will discover that there is a better life waiting for you outside of gambling. Don't let gambling control your life, but make the bold decision to stop and regain your freedom and inner peace.

It takes quite a long process, because addiction is one of the diseases that exist in a person's mind that has a direct relationship with what they want, I mean one of the things that makes addiction difficult to overcome is because they like the gambling activities they do even though basically it makes them experience downturns in everything, especially money. Basically addiction can be very difficult to overcome and can also be quite easy to cure, all of this depends on themselves whether they want a change for the better or not, so actually this is a choice and on the other hand I'm sure all of the addicts don't want all the problems to come to them and that means a change in mindset is needed to solve this problem.

If we look at the scenario, it is probably the same with alcoholics or drug addicts, and there is no other way to get them out of such a bad situation except for self-will and after that there is a process they have to go through, if they are addicted to drugs or alcohol then they have to reduce the amount of consumption slowly over time until finally they consider that "it doesn't matter if they don't consume it" because there is no way they can solve their dependence in a short time, and this also certainly applies to gambling addiction which also starts with awareness, openness which ultimately results in desire. On the other hand, I understand that doctors or experts can help, but especially for gambling addiction, I think it all has to start from their own desire.

Sure, addictions are by definition uncontrolable desires. It makes.me remind one occasion I talked to someone very close to me and they mentioned to me they had problems with alcohol. They described to me how alcoholism feels like: one you begin you cannot stop and feel like drinking all the alcohol in the planet of you had the chance to do so. I have never met someone seriously addicted to gambling, but I imagine it must be something similar to that kind of feeling: wanting to be able to have all the wager possible to roll dices and spin slots for the rest of the time. Reality collides with the desires of the gambler and alcoholic when they run out of money and drinks.

Also, you would be very impressed on how many people there are, which are not okey with the use of medicine or drugs to treat psychological problems, specially related to addictions. There is an inherent fear the patient could also become addicted to the medication.

Any addiction can be treated but it is very difficult, for those that have no problems with it stopping is very easy, but those which are addicted cannot do it once they begin, this is the same pattern that we see with alcoholics and drug addicts, in which they will consume those products until they die, and we have seen this with video games too as some players have played for so long that they die of exhaustion, so gamblers which are addicted need all the help they need, and if a doctor believes they need some medicine to make it easier for them to overcome the first stages of their recovery then they must use it.

Gambling is not something scary, but many people have changed to the point where they are addicted to gambling. This must be addressed immediately before things get worse and affect us mentally. If we feel that gambling does not provide any benefits for us, we better immediately stop gambling and look for other activities that can also provide entertainment for us and will not use too much to get that pleasure. Everyone who wants to stop gambling can do it easily because it depends on their intention to stop their gambling activities and do other things. But it won't be easy because people who gamble too often will find it difficult to stop their gambling activities unless they really intend to try. They can think clearly about what they have done in gambling, and they feel that they have gone too far in using gambling.

I dispute the fact about what you said about gamblers who loses bets having less interest or quitting because I've seen most gamblers losing conspicuously but rather calling it a quit they continue with the believe that they will win on several attempts and this mostly happens to people that have won before as they are always the people that believes they can win again no matter how many times they have lost but someone who is new into gambling and tried on several occasions and couldn't win can easily lose interest and maybe call it a quit because he hasn't tasted the sweet side of gambling. Yeah no body that puts sugar in their mouth and complain it is bitter so someone who plays and wins will always talk good about gambling unlike someone that have been failing on several attempts.

In my opinion, the impact of winning or losing has the same thing, where both of these things can make someone continue to gamble, because in my opinion if they lose it will make them curious and go back to gambling to win, and if they win it will make it difficult for them. to stop gambling. That's the similarity, but it depends on the person doing the gambling, because if the person doing the gambling has good self-control then this won't happen.

with those who don't have self-control, they will gamble continuously without stopping until they become addicted, and in my opinion if they become addicted it will be difficult to stop gambling. This has happened in many cases. Of course, to recover from addiction is not easy, they have to experience something that can make them realize that what they did was wrong. but it's possible to just realize that they are addicted to gambling.

It is each of our human rights, it is up to us whether we want to gamble or not because we use our own money to carry out the activities we want and do not cause harm to other people, and if the OP hate gambling, it is up to him but don't force other people to do the same thing like he did because people have different levels of enjoyment because there are some people who consider gambling as entertainment and don't mind the expenses they spend on gambling.

It is true that forcing people to stop gambling is the same as being detrimental to the person who owns the business. We cannot blame the game but instead blame the person who misuses the game to make a profit and instead of making a profit, it causes them to experience big losses and tries to chase their losses so that in the end causes gambling addiction. And when someone is addicted then the OP invites people to immediately stop their addiction, gambling will not be a problem if you can use it well.

The impact of winning or losing on a gambler varies. Some keep losing and feel curious to continue playing and get their luck. Indeed, for the winning effect, it can make gamblers happier playing. that's because they feel the benefits they get from gambling. Who doesn't like it when you play to get pleasure and also profit from winning?
However, for those who already enjoy gambling, it will be quite difficult for us to leave and leave gambling. So we must limit our gambling is not a necessity, but only for fun.

The way to stop gambling that penetrates the player's heart and mind the most is to lose so much that he really realizes that gambling cannot make him rich. instead by gambling he only gets misery.

One thing is sure about gamblers is that the more they win the more they love it more, but the moment they loose more it becomes a thing of complain and wanting to call it a quit. I know you are only saying this now, because you are not fortunate enough to win big.
But I bet you, if you had your ways of making more money in gambling, you wouldn't be bordering yourself talking bad about gambling or calling it a quit

Maybe I'm wrong but I don't underestimate the level of luck in gambling because I often see novice gamblers being luckier than people who have been gambling for a long time. It can change many people's lives, and I realize it is a reality. But because of this reality, many people are getting deeper into gambling until they have to use up a lot of their money, and some even many people are going bankrupt. It may be very easy to know the stories of people who are successful at gambling, but there are more stories of people who fail at gambling and it is those stories that we don't know more about. Indeed, those who are successful in gambling can buy gifts for their loved ones and live comfortably from their winnings. But many more people experience losses from gambling, living below the standards of most other people. That is why, before they get too deep into gambling, they should be able to think about reducing their gambling activities or even abandoning gambling if they think gambling does not provide benefits. They can get enjoyment from other things they might not use as much.

Yes, I realize that gambling can change lives. We have seen a lot of evidence of this. But we also have to know that more people end up suffering from gambling too often. That is why we must be able to use gambling as entertainment and not need to use a lot of money to get pleasure from gambling.

Gambling should not be expected as it leads to more losses and foolishly trying to make money will lead to life long addiction. This is why you have to deal with yourself and avoid greed. A gambler should try to understand the various harmful aspects of his own gambling addiction. Addicts often don't want to remember these things or don't remember them because greed works in them. Instead of this habit you have to prepare yourself to deal with this addiction by analyzing the harmful effects symptoms or the reasons behind it. Be like a professional gambler they can handle everything so they take less risk.

Gambling is not a deadly addiction that cannot be broken once you are addicted. People can control themselves in any difficult situation if they want. If a gambler wants to, he can stop himself from gambling in any difficult situation at any time, so that gambler must be mentally prepared. If a gambler's family treats him well and can do good mental consulting, then 50% of the work will be easier and if he regularly participates in various social and cultural events, then it will be possible to prevent him from gambling addiction very easily. There is no need for drugs to get rid of gambling addiction, but a friendly treatment can bring back an addicted gambler from a psychologically distressed state.

It will be very hard for someone that had been in gambling for many years to stop easily because they are advised to stop. This is the case of addiction and it doesn't stop like that. We need to know what we are doing so that we don't end up admitting to something that could be very difficult to happen. It is never easy for us that had been gambling with fun and suddenly we starts developing dislike for gambling. This is unlikely to happen is addiction even though it's less is involved. The case might be different from someone that had not been gambling for long.
