We know now the gambling causes too much emotion in the people and some of them can't handle themselves with too much addiction to playing and few of them would like to stop for a while or permanently because they knew its already giving a bad things to them not just financially but also emotional and mentally stress. If you want to move on with addiction of gambling connecting to your family and friends is the most efficient way because if you are getting busy outside you didn't mind at all that you played gambling, make additional activities in your life includes the exercise because this even too is time and effort consuming so you feel get more exhausted that you don't even want to move at all just to rest. Even in stress walking and jogging is the best way to think and imagine you are now addicted to exercise and even gym that might improve your health too.

In fact, many times gamblers become so addicted to gambling that they do not even take proper care of their own physical health. They never go out and enjoy the beauty of nature and do not breathe the fresh air of nature, as a result, they become very weak in terms of health, they are always lonely, as a result, their relationship with their family and friends is also damaged at some point.
So to get out of this terrible addiction, you should focus on improving your physical health by walking, running or going to the gym, go out with friends and enjoy the beauty of nature, or it would be best if you leave the online world for a few days and live in the offline world completely.
In short, you should pay attention to your physical health, and forget everything from the past and think about managing your life in a new way.

Once a man, twice a child!

Quote from: DiMarxist on December 06, 2024, 04:47:47 PM

It is only when someone (gambler) loses huge amount of money that he will decide to leave gambling.

😂 But of course, what do you expect? Everyone likes the feel of winning, and like they say "winning brings the noise while losing causes whining" I've yet to see a gambler who constantly wins complain of gambling addiction or his loved ones cuss him out for gambling. It's all smiles when we win but when we lose people then have the audacity to throw their opinions on us as we won't amount to anything by their estimation because of our loses and financial incapability, so to say.

Some addicted gamblers manage to change because they work hard at it and truly believe they can turn their lives around. However, others give up on change because their mindset isn’t fully committed—they remain tempted. Finding new hobbies or distractions can help redirect our focus away from gambling.

It’s definitely a long battle, which is why many don’t succeed. It is usually due to a lack of support from the people around them. Let’s be real—fighting this alone is so much harder. Having someone by our side can make a huge difference. This is exactly why some people struggle and eventually choose to stick with gambling instead of breaking free.

I will not blame anyone for prioritizing gambling as a show means of making money because this are very hard these days and making people that are jobless are seeing gambling as a good alternative to make money from what they are doing. We ought to be smart and know what we are doing so that we don't have to end up with gambling addiction. Addiction has been the problem for many gamblers and for that sometimes we don't need to put all blame on them because it is conditions that are passing through that could have made them to keep gambling for a better days when they will be making consistent profits.

Well, one of the smart actions is not to make gambling a means or way to make money, right? Now, with those who make gambling a way to make money, I think it is not a smart action because by doing so they forget that gambling is a business that is developed with the aim of seeking profit, not by providing benefits to everyone who gambles, whether it is physical or online gambling.

This addiction prevention can be done from the start, if from the start they already consider gambling a way to make money, then addiction is the result that will occur, in contrast to those who do not think that gambling is just a means of entertainment.

Recovery from gambling addiction is not easy as we must really have a strong will to say no to ourselves to return to gambling and we must have many activities to distract our minds. But those who addicted to gambling will not have the same recovery process because that will depends on their gambling addiction level.

Indeed, recovering from addiction won't be easy because it must take times and some process. It also requires a strong will and discipline, these are 2 important factors as well. Anyway, I agree with you, the treatment for the addicts can be different. It will depend on the level of the addiction. If it is still a light addiction, it may no need further treatments from the doctors or experts. But for severe addiction, it must be handled by experts or doctors.

Treatments can help but I don't believe in it, for treatments to work, the addicted gambler have to develop a strong will to break the addiction, it starts within the addicted gamblers themselves, no level of treatment will work unless the victim is willing to win the battle themselves.

What we choose to believe in can punish us, gamblers choose to believe in gambling as their ways to break generational poverty, I knew people who think this way until gambling showed them hell, I was able to take control because I don't believe that gambling can solve my problem, skills and investment is what I believe in, I do gambling for fun and it is why I am a step ahead of avoiding addiction.

In a light addiction, that person can be help by his families by doing many activities that will makes him keep busy so he can distract his minds and forget about gambling. The more activities he can do, he will not think about gambling and will fills his time by doing that things. If he can do for a month, he can change his habit to a better habit and that can gives him a way to solve his addiction. It needs support from families so he can do many activities and that still not easy as the families needs to concern with his recovery from the addiction.

true, support from family or people around us who understand our condition best is very important in the recovery process of addicted gamblers. what becomes a little difficult for gamblers whose addiction is already quite severe. not only support from family and close people, but they also need expert treatment in re-forming new mindsets and activities.
the process of recovery from gambling addiction is not short, even if it is a gambler who is still mild. because the process depends on the interest and strong will of the gambler himself.

Different people had different perceptions in terms of gambling capabilities, those who can handle the pressure they've got the ability to cope up and easily recover while for those who can't, especially those who don't have good control with their emotions once they've got addicted they need to take that help from experts to back up their treatment and to know what are the best presciption to help the person.

It's not easy for people who's already engage in a deep addiction they need a lot of time and closer help from their love ones who can understand them and deal with thier concern.

Once you get addicted to something, it is very difficult to control this addiction. And most of the time, it becomes impossible to control the addiction. So we face a worse situation. So we should try to control ourselves before we become addicted.

I will not go into the argument whether gambling is good or bad. We should first try to control ourselves. I have seen many gamblers who have lost everything to gambling. They could not control themselves, or they were too greedy.

I would say that every gambler should consider their financial capacity before gambling. If we spend more money on gambling than our financial capacity, then I would say that this is the first step of addiction. We must be aware. Otherwise, we will have to go bankrupt within a few days.

Quote from: Furious 7 on December 07, 2024, 07:22:27 AM

It is not unusual for gamblers with small capital to want to get big profits or big wins, because many people who gamble also have a big goal of wanting or getting profit from the gambling they are going to do, therefore with the many cases of negative impacts that occur it is not unusual anymore because the goal is to seek profit which of course makes them trapped in an unfavorable condition.

The mindset that we have does determine the future, someone who has the right mindset such as not considering gambling more than just entertainment then it is certain that he will not gamble excessively, such as when they have experienced defeat then they will stop gambling and will not extend their gambling session.

Indeed, many people who gamble aim to win, including those who gamble by betting their money even though in small amounts, there is still hope to get a big win, I myself am not a hypocrite with a big win that of course I myself want to get even though the amount of budget allocated for gambling is low.

I agree with what you said, indeed for people who have a good mindset they will not gamble excessively because they know that it is just a means of entertainment so doing it with limits makes them in a safe state.

Well, I believe in you that you will also overcome your healing recovery from your gambling-related issue, which you have been through, and it is really not easy to get out of that. What you have been through may have been the same for others.

The only difference is that you have the resources to support your loved ones. You can't get out of it right now, but the only thing you can really do is fight yourself against the thing that almost killed you with your gambling addiction, thanks for the reminders op.

That's just the problem with gamblers, they know the rules of staying away from addiction but only few stick to the rules because the others are after making profit, forgetting that addiction is for all who lacks self control over their gambling activities. Getting addicted is not the problem but for you to be able to realize yourself fast and overcome it, is what matters a lot.

I am happy for you OP, that you have finally overcome addiction and have made some activities that will keep you away from gambling, but you still need to be careful so that you don't become addicted again when you start gambling, only if you choose not to gamble again.

I couldn't agree more with your statements. OP definitely needs to stay vigilant with this. THis is a truly hard time in their life and overcoming isn't just a one and done type of thing its a daily choice to not have to do this shit over and over. Choose to refuse!! Keep at it OP you got this.

To get rid of gambling addiction, the gambler has to try and if the gambler's mind is strong and he wants to get out of the addiction, he can get out of the gambling addiction. A man's hands and feet can be tied but his mind cannot be tied, and if he doesn't want to get out of gambling addiction, he will gamble at the next opportunity no matter how much you keep him busy. That's why I always say it's very important to have a gambler's say first whether they want to get out of gambling or not. If he wants to get out of the gambling addiction, if the friends around him help the gambler a little bit, then the gambler can completely get out of the gambling addiction. But if the gambler does not want to do this, then it is very difficult to get him out of gambling addiction.

That's right I think gambling addiction have their stages because the first time I try making extra bucks through casino games I got to point of not knowing when to stop, after keep telling myself I can't get addicted, but little do I know I was getting addicted, but lucky after experiencing a loss that took me time to recover I was able to stop casinos games, now and days I hardly play I just do it for fun or to try my luck Cheesy

For sure, things are actually really hard, but that does not mean that people should spend that little money they manage to earn under that same hardship to chase winning something where the outcome is based on probability, which actually means that the chance of getting the winnings is very slim compared to the chance the house has over you.

Those who are suffering to me should not even get involved in gambling. What will the person feed on if they end up losing and wasting that money on gambling, which turns out with no winnings? We just have to choose to change that mentality that gambling can help the hopeless regain hope and get a better life with just one winning.

The days are tough and most nation's economy are not welcoming to the low income earners. But the spreading news of gambling as an alternative to the current condition of the world isn't a great choice, and since it can't be wiped out the memory of most people, the more we'd get to see players with similar initiative.

While environmental hardship could affect a person's emotion to lose control in gambling, it's necessary for players not to suffer alone. In difficult times, living or being surrounded with loved ones helps to tackle emotional problems that can lead to depression, and problem gaming.

- Keeping myself busy and focusing on work.

Keeping yourself busy is one of the best ways for an addict to distract themselves from gambling. They can find a hobby that they enjoy, or do work, or do other activities that keep their attention away from gambling. Because the problem that gamblers often face is that the urge to gamble arises when they are not doing anything - although this is quite difficult to do because not everyone has the same ability to restrain themselves, but if this is practiced continuously then over time an addict will be able to control their addiction to gambling.

Anyone who is lost over gambling by prioritizing gambling as a major means of generating income is likely to become gambling addicted where at every point in time you loss the next thing that will comes to your mind is chasing your losses which consist of gambling under pressure, spending more time energy and resources in to it, and when this happens it is very important we seek for help because situations like that requires given attention before it gets worst, if only a gambling addict will change his or her orientation that gambling is not guaranteed hence it doesn't worth taken too serious, that way he or she will recover faster alongside with other remedies.

Gambling addiction has become a definite consequence for those who think of gambling as a means or way to get money or profit, when someone has a mindset like this then addiction is unlikely to be avoided, the desire to recover losses will be there and cannot be restrained when gambling and ends in defeat, this can be a repeated action that makes someone addicted. It doesn't take an expert to predict it because this is the reality.
Someone who is addicted is unlikely to ask for help from others to help him out of addiction, because someone who is addicted is unlikely to be aware that the actions he is taking are actually wrong, unless they are truly aware then they don't need help from others to be able to recover from their addiction.
