Most of the listed symptoms are pretty observable but the problem is that not a lot of people know that it's actually a symptom of addiction and that they just think it as something. This is actually thread because I think that not a lot of people know how to deal or identify an addiction when they see one so they disregard it and see it when it's already too late.

risk the friendship to fall apart by suggesting him to go to a psychiatrist, because because in my place people who go to a psychiatrist are identical to people who have mental disorders.
In overall look, consulting with psychiatrists may not be preferred by most part of the world but if we teach about the importance of such consultation then probably we can get rid off those misconceptions about psychiatrists. Psychiatrists also doctors and curing alone is not a doctor's duty but prevention as well.the symptoms of a gambling disorder or behavior that is classified as severe gambling addiction.
In my opinion, all gamblers are prone to get addicted severely over the time hence we do not need to spot out any symptom or behavior disorder. I mean if you are into gambling then most probably you will get addicted any time soon. Just quitting gambling alone will protect us.

The excessive playing in gambling is the major symptom of this disease. A certain addicted person will always prioritize playing gambling above anything else no matter how much he'll spend and lose on it, just to feed his desire to satisfy and infuriates himself because things doesn't always go with his plan.
Now, the very hard part on it is convincing them to get treated, because they won't admit that they are addicted. Take note, in order to solve a problem, you need to admit that there's one. So without their cooperation, they won't get better, instead they'll get in the worst case scenario.

If indeed playing gambling interferes with our daily activities, it has also become a symptom of addiction. Because indeed people who are addicted
must play gambling excessively and prioritize gambling over other things. If we feel that gambling is a priority, it's not a good thing, because without
us knowing it we are addicted. Therefore it is necessary to control when playing gambling, so that we can limit ourselves when playing gambling.
I agree without self-awareness, it is difficult to cure addiction, sometimes people who are addicted do not feel themselves addicted.

I hate friends who are an addict on gambling because as a responsible gambler myself I have seen how gambling can ruin one man's future and reputation, I will them him right away to stop and get professional help if he doesn't listen then it's no use to continue our friendship, I hate to see a friend ruining his life because of gambling.
The best way to avoid getting addiction from this type of game, it is by never playing it. Cuz, once we got involved in gambling, soon or later, it'll be our regular habit and unconsciously we will rely on it to pass the day. Once we got addicted, it will be hard to cure. Even for those who said that they can control the game, there will be something that will lead them to the addiction part. So, its better not to try to gamble otherwise, the chances for us to be addicted will be there.

We, as their friends, need to remind them not to play gambling too often and explain how dangerous it is for a long time. A friend must do that for their friend because we do not want to see them become an addicted person to gambling. And if somehow, they have trouble gambling, we need to help them get out from gambling as soon as possible before something worst happens to them. If they still want to play gambling, we must remain them to be responsible gamblers and if it is necessary, we can stay beside them and watch their playing gambling so we can tell them that is enough to playing gambling.It's hard to stay on their side and keep them reminding about their gambling habit if they don't listen to you at all. Sometimes these addicted friends get annoyed to us when we remind them, they tell us that it is their money that they are spending so we shouldn't interfere with their gambling. They don't hear and realized what we are saying to them when their habit gets worse so for me when this happens it is still better to consult a specialist to assist our friend to get out of his gambling addiction.

get rid off.
When you do saw that your friend or even yourself is falling gradually into addiction then its better to be wise on taking some break on playing or get engaging with gambling.If you dont like to experience
some possible unfortunate situations in your life then better quit or stop for a while.

I have no friends who are very much into gambling but if I do have I will take the risk of explaining to him by a heart to heart talk , he can disagree and deny but at least I let him know that I am fully aware of his habit and I make a stand that I don't want him to stay that way, you have to tell him right away, even if it means losing each other.
I also think so, it's better for us to risk friendship than to see our own friends break down in their bad habits, after all if a friend is angry I think we can do something later that can indeed improve the relationship but of course it will be hard to see someone who it's close to us doing bad things that harm himself, so I think it's better that we tell the truth now than we have to watch him go down and I'm sure that gradually he will realize the bad deeds he has done all this time and can understand if what we are doing do is for his own good. hero member

In the last few hours I personally do self-introspection and analyze these symptoms may be in myself, family or friends. and as a result there are some of my friends who do seem to have these symptoms ;
1. Should I shut up and watch him continue gambling.
2. Or risk the friendship to fall apart by suggesting him to go to a psychiatrist, because in my place people who go to a psychiatrist are identical to people who have mental disorders.

You can test your friendship by urging him to go to a psychiatrist if he gets angry then it should be ok with you because you did your part of telling him that he is on a self destruct character if you are a friend you must tell him straightforwardly that you only mean well, maybe he will listen to you because friends trust each other to protect each other.
Gambling addicts tend to deny their gambling addiction. In some countries, people who are registered with a psychiatrist face social discrimination. Therefore, your friend might get scared.
Your friend may lose confidence in you. In my opinion, in this situation, it is advisable to organize an exciting lifestyle for your friend. For example, to introduce him to a charming beauty with big elastic boobs.
Or jump with a parachute.

Better risk your friendship by telling him straightforward that he is a compulsive gambler and he needs help from a professional, or you will regret your whole life by not telling him so before it's to late do the right thing even if it hurts your friendship, a true friend cares and telling him this means you care.

- He has tried time and again to curb, lessen or halt gambling, but has not been able to.
- When he is defeated during gambling, he tries to make up for the loss of money by going back to gamble again, trying to win back what he
Another scenario is when a gambler had decided to stop gambling the same spirit will assure him of wining big or win back after another trial this will linger on uncontrollably and endlessly until all fund is lost, these are big issues related to addicted gamblers it takes a great courage and persuasion plus counseling to discourage such an addicted gambler, some of them are having the mindset of wining a jackpot or huge win before quitting which is very uncertain based on the fact that all the funds loss must will be recovered someday.[/list]

I find it hard to believe that people could go to the extent of cheating and stealing for his gambling addiction. I've been happy putting bets in games and sports but it never came to me to steal for it. Maybe in video game rentals when I was a kid. Yeah, I'd steal for it but with just coins of pesos.
A rehabilitation procedure maybe a good answer for this if he have not taken the addiction too far. A vacation without smartphones or laptops, just a prepaid phone for emergencies may also be a good idea. I'd set it up if you were that close of a friend and maybe even take care of expenses. Let him calm down for a week, talk about it for a while without exaggerating the details.

Gambling addiction is a serious problem because it is not just your life that is affected but also the people around you, your family, and friends. If you know someone suffering from it, talking to them may not fully help them with their addiction, but still it helps. I know how it feels how to be addicted to something, sometimes the more you try to avoid it, the more you crave for it. It takes time to withdraw from something and it is not an overnight process.
Gambling addiction is a serious problem, personal relationships can be messed up if not treatedaddiction never makes the sufferer happy, it will only slowly destroy
I've seen people addicted to gambling, alcohol and drugs divorced from their partners
if you see your neighbor or closest person is addicted to gambling then scold him, don't care if he is angry at you

Risking it though seems like martyrdom in my opinion because you don't really have any bonds with them besides being a friend, I agree that you should risk it but there will come a time that you should set a boundary that you won't be doing this thing. Also the symptoms that you should worry about when someone is addicted is when they are harming others or themselves.
A lot better than a friend asking for money from you and when you don't, argues that you aren't a true friend and some random bs. Also, a boundary that you wouldn't risk it? What? isn't that just an empty relationship? Might as well just break it off if I do say so for myself. It's pretty stupid to let a friendship remain if it was just taken into face value. And man, you would wait for people to hurt themselves and others before trying to fix a desperate gambler? Now that's just wrong ngl.Still, the end of the day it depends on the capabilities of the player or the gambler because in some instance some gambler knows the risk management they are dealing with the game they set a limitation if they think they already enough with the designated amount of profit or losses they have. Some player still continuously playing because they want to pay back their losses or even meet their quota and still losing the game this is a common mistake of them the reason why they always get more losses.
The former is simply a player, the latter is a gambler. Players aren't a problem, gamblers are. June 26, 2021, 11:13:14 PM
Things people do for their enjoyment.
So do gamblers consciously know that the have a gambling problem and choose to deliberately ignore it or they unknowingly continue with the toxic gambling habits without reading the signs in front of them 🤔
How does it get to be a gambling disorder 🤔
I doubt that they will know if they have a gambling problem because gambling can give them interest and pleasure in playing many gambling games. They can forget about how long they are already playing gambling, which can become toxic and addiction sooner or later. Without realizing how to prevent playing gambling too often, they will still play and they will not listen to others if those people warn and suggest they stop gambling. Maybe it will not be a gambling disorder for the gambler itself, but for people who know the gambler better, it will look like something wrong already happened to that person, so they need to warn him to realize that.So do gamblers consciously know that the have a gambling problem and choose to deliberately ignore it or they unknowingly continue with the toxic gambling habits without reading the signs in front of them 🤔

I think most gamblers will try to defend/rationalize their addiction by saying that it purely gives them entertainment. I mean, it is relatively hard to argue with someone who is suffering from addiction, especially if they do not know that they are the ones experiencing it.
This is primarily the reason on why having a good support system can really tell you if you are a gambling addict or not. People around you would start to notice and they would do anything in their power to fix the situation. While I also understand that change must really comes within, but having to know that you have someone or somebody that probably cares for you would most likely help in the process.
I am sure people around will see clearly what is happening to them. If they really care, they will approach that person and talk personally. The change must be done, but they can change slowly because it is hard to stop directly from their habit if they already did that a long time ago. We need to give them time to do it slowly.
