Addiction could really be that be able to controlled if you are really just that responsible with your actions because people would really be that neither be that mindful about on the things that they are dealing with or would really be just that let it go and tolerate on whatever emotions that they could really have on that particular moment. This is why it would really be that best
that whenever you do gamble then be responsible. Making yourself that self aware on the risks that involved with gambling. People do really just that missed out this one important thing
and this is why on the time that they would really be able to commit out such wrong behavior and treatment then it is usually in the end of the line they would really be that
making up those kind of realizations.

Agree with you most of the people gamble and at last they become addicted towards it and because of such addiction they just love to receive money and spend it in gambling. They like their families until they get money from it but once their family stop giving them money for gambling then they initiate such a bad behavior that no one one bear it.
No one treat gambler with loyal behavior but everyone think that he is such a bad person that neither his family is happy with him nor a society. If a family fails to stop their children from gambling then it will become danger for them and their financial situation will become worse day by day.

This is a proper example of someone that doesn't have a good plans, as a grown man/women that has a responsibility you should always remember to save for your families because that's your main priority is to prove  the family needs and you should also save money for the raining days.
Like I have said earlier, gamble is not a wise choice of making money you can work on another alternatives and you shouldn't gamble everyday because if you are gambling everyday you be addicted. Although someone that has another ways of making money can not think gambling is another way of making money.
When they lose what they can not afford to lose that's the money they realize gamble is not a child's play thing.

In gambling, people's hope turns against them, forcing them to believe in victory, but lose more. It's like a magic circle where a person thinks that next time he will succeed, but in fact the casino always wins.
People spend all their savings and even borrow money to try to fix their losses. But the more they play, the more they lose. It's like an addiction that causes people to lose control of their finances and lives.
We need to be very careful not to fall into this trap and preserve your well-being.

In many poor areas, many people want to get rich and move to another place or country to start a new life there. But parents cannot give money to their children, because they cannot save anything, and there is no factory or enterprise around that could do this work. That is why in such areas they find the game as something that will allow them to get rich. They believe in the best, because the desire is very great and then the mind stops even allowing for the moment that it is possible to lose, the brain simply blocks such an option. And when a loss occurs, then the realization of what happened comes, and maybe not the first time.

A gambler can control himself because he's gambling with his money. Absolutely correct every one can be addicted to gamble, it doesn't matter your financial status, even if you don't have money or your fucking rich you can also be addicted when you don't gamble responsibily.
Someone without a job and side hustle can easily become addicted I think so, the reasons why gamblers takes gamble as a side hustle is because the ones they are doing is not giving them a good profit (good salary) and they have to find another alternative to make more money. Truth be told that gamble is not a good area to make money, and gamblers that uses gamble as a side hustle gets addict easily.

The two elements self-acceptance and discipline are crucial in the healing process of an addict. Fighting addiction is so hard that it requires extra humans and effort to help the addict. An addict's feelings can be contrary to that of his acquittances and helpers. Thereby, building up the toughness of the fight, then take up years for the battle to be over. However, nobody is brilliant enough to know the fastest method of healing an addict. But, with a collaborative effort everyone wins. Society gets to receive funds from the addict, instead of losing it to the casino alone. When an addict stays around us, it affects everyone. We must endeavor to change them, so it won't escalate to other citizens of that locality.

When people around gamblers are against problem gambling, lots of responsible gamblers will be birthed. Lack of limitations and external help puts many into addiction. No teacher to enlighten the naive players on the risks of gambling recklessly. However, the gambling community is working hard online to level up the understanding of the problem and responsible gambling. A lot of people need to know this because many are following the addiction route every day. Hence increases the addiction rate each moment. Gambling proves that we reap whatever we sow, if a player plays recklessly, he'd continue doing the same thing for a long period, and then face lots of troubles. The same applies to playing responsibly.

If you are really just that responsible then i dont see any problems that would really be created on a certain individual when it comes to possible addiction because things do really get messy on the time that you would really be that irresponsible with your actions because things can really be control if you wanted to but sometimes due into those unrealistic approach and wishes that you do have in mind on which it would really be causing up that kind of impression and approach on which it would really be leading into more engagement which would really be neglecting about those risks that you've been wary earlier.

Came from recovery from gambling addiction might sound simple but this is a fight that not something that you could really be able to pull that easily. Self acceptance and self discipline
would really be the key but of course not all people would really be that be able to do so.

Gambling addiction is easy to harness if a player isn't capable of controlling his actions. Responsibility includes being able to accept the losses as we do the wins. When a player loses money and insists on winning back the exact money, he'll easily get addicted. Hence, financial status or working class could be tagged as a contributor, but that's not to be generalized. Gamblers with a good source of income, still fall prey to problem gambling, due to their inability to control themselves towards chasing losses. When a gambler is not concerned about making money he'd have a better gambling experience. Winning money helps in bringing us back to the casino, but not all. These days players have learnt their lesson and chosen to gamble for fun purposes. It feels better than ending up sad after losing out in the name of chasing money via gambling.

As you said, Su-asa, it's a big fat lie to make enough profit in gambling. The disagreement comes into play in line with jackpots. But delving deeper into the concept of a casino's jackpot will take up lots of time to explain. Marketing is one aspect of the jackpot idea. Yes, it looks like the winner has been made financially, but it's not completely favorable on the gambler's side. The casino gains bigger profits due to this, because gamblers who disagree that gambling doesn't guarantee financial freedom, will jump on the jackpot cruise and gamble away all their funds, hoping for the day they'll win it. When someone else wins it, the desire increases, thereby fetching more funds to the casino. Remember the winner doesn't get satisfied, he'd go back looking to win another jackpot. It's quite deep and shouldn't be stressed. What matters is staying responsible.

Generally, if people who gamble become addicted, it is a loss to both the society and the family. I have seen such gambling addicts in my home country, they basically don't work for the family and spend all their income on gambling. And he doesn't like his own child either he just loves gambling so it's very dangerous for the family. So the gambling addict is always dangerous and the biggest threat to the family.

I had watched this video earlier and i thought i already answered on this, but must have forgotten.

Video had a pretty good structure and i really liked it, so well worth 11 minutes of my time. It was refreshingly honest, and if i had to guess it's a part of some confession therapy that recovery program he is using to get by. I was expecting it t be more preachy, and i guess it surprised me to the point i forgot to reply.

But reading the comments, i have to say that t was focusing on mainly mechanics of his gambling addiction (beside losing also time and relationships). And it did cover that pretty well. Covering addictions in general might be a lot of extra work for people who haven't studied them.

Which brings me to this comment pair:

Starting from: Marijuana isn't part of physical addictions (physical dependence is more accurate term) according to any scientific consensus, unless you consider every addiction physical because they are happening in physical level on your brain. With physical dependence, there are literal withdrawal symptoms for a long time and we get hooked no matter what. It has nothing to do if person has addictive personality or not. If people have an addict personality, with alcohol for example, they have only control over that first glass. After that, booze takes over the wheel and their ability to choose is thrown out from the window. This is why alcoholics tend to be drunk until they ran out of money, and why most of them need to stay absolutely sober.

In behavioural addiction (at least if you have an addictive personality) moderation is difficult, because your brain rewarding system kicks in so hard, that you can't think or act rationally anymore. So it isn't really about too much, which is a highly subjective concept anyway. People can do too much something and not being addicted. It's about inability to control even tiny amounts of it.

Addictive person can pretty much get on addicted to anything, and at some point, what ever it is, might get too destructive. Because while addictions steal time, if they steal your money or senses too and replace reality, then you might get in a lot of trouble.

How I wish this is easy as it looks like because I have known some addicted
gamblers that is good in advising other gamblers here but the truth is? they cannot
handle their own addictions .

the words stands as "Easy Said than Done" and indeed that realization will
come once we are already the one that in the video.

If you really love your family then you must know about to care
for their future and of course yours.

There is a possibility of losing the entire amount of money used in gambling and then there is a possibility of winning several times of that amount but no one can tell what will happen to him so always be careful with the amount of bet.  What we earn we have to use in different sectors so if we spend all our income in gambling and if we lose it then how can we manage our other sectors?  So, keeping everything running, some part of the income should be used in gambling, if we lose, our other sectors will not stop, everything will continue normally.

It usually depends on the individual if they try. A gambler can certainly be cautious if he wants to but a look at professional gamblers shows how cautiously they proceed. Prepare yourself by trying to understand the various harmful aspects of gambling addiction. Gamblers can take some effort as well as some steps to control themselves. This includes setting limits on gambling these are usually difficult but possible if a gambler keeps himself under control.

This is indeed a fundamental problem for gamblers.
First, he gambled in the hope of winning, which is wrong in my opinion. When that happens, the brain will only work to win. and when you lose, the brain will continue to work to tell the gambler to continue the game until they win.

After a win is obtained, the desire usually arises in the gambler to add to the first win, and this is also supported by the brain because its orientation is only to make a profit.

When the brain and greed envelop the gambler, he will automatically lose. and there is no such thing as having fun in the game anymore.

Gambling's self-control is necessary when someone playing gambling so they don't break their rules and that's not deceive because if they understand the important of self-control, they will learn until they can playing gambling to enjoy their spare time. Playing gambling responsible is the main thing that they should do because when they wants to fills their spare time by playing gambling, they needs to emphasis that they using some money to playing gambling and just for fun.

Gamblers who doesn't knows how to do self-control can't have fun in gambling. They tends to chase the win without thinks about when they must stop playing gambling because they feel that gambling gives them more fun that they can gets. If that gambler slowly gets addicted, he needs to search for a way to cure his addiction before everything becomes worst.

Addiction knows no bounds and can affect people from all walks of life, including rich people. The allure of gambling, with its promise of quick money and excitement, can indeed lead people to rationalize their behavior and make excuses to continue gambling. This pattern of addiction can often result in financial mismanagement and a lack of motivation to pursue other meaningful activities.

The addictive nature of gambling can be insidious, because it can lead people to prioritize gambling over other responsibilities and pursuits. This can ultimately lead to a cycle of dependency and negative consequences. Fostering awareness and providing support for those struggling with gambling addiction can work towards mitigating its harmful effects and promoting healthier attitudes towards gambling.

Very bad reality indeed, and as a gambler, our concusness should always be at alert so as not to fall into some kind of situation and conditions that we will not be able to control our deeds and actions, because when we slid into such State, we likely exposed to any kind of conditions such that will be very unbearable for us some times.
This is why we have to do everything that we could to avoid gambling addictions because it better not to get addicted in the first place than trying to come out of our addictions that state is hard job and almost an impossible to attain.

I think you have no experience of winning or you don't have anyone whom you know personally about their winnings and that's why you can't understand the reason for gambling. Another important thing is that people gambling not only to earn money but also for mental refreshment addiction and so on.

Everything is correct. but the most fatal thing is that they cannot control themselves when gambling, and do not manage their finances well because it is not only those who are unemployed and do not have a side job who become addicted, rich people can also become addicted if they do not have good control.

Because gambling will always be addictive, and makes gamblers make lots of excuses to themselves and others. Another reason gamblers become addicted is because in their minds they already imagine getting rich quickly, in other words, gambling can make money easily. So it is not surprising that people who are addicted to gambling will become lazy and have no other motivation apart from gambling.
