Addiction is a disease, it is a mental health issue which occurs to an individual and requires a solution via therapy and counseling. Addiction in gambling is real and it happens when you lose your absolute control over yourself and end up priorizing gambling over tuoyour financial situation and relationships. As a gambler who's suspecting gambling addiction, it is paramount for such person to weigh his gambling involvements with such parameters so as to know when they're becoming addicted to the game and how to find solutions to it . Like experienced by drug addicts, addicted gamblers are also faced with the withdrawal syndrome finding it irritating to leave the gambling games.

Given the fact that gambling addicts do not recognize the fact that they are addicted and carefully hide their passion not only from others, but also from people close to them, it becomes very difficult to identify early signs of the disease. This only becomes apparent after they start stealing money to make up for their losses.

Most families, when they know that they have a relative who is an addict, do not help the addicted relative to recover. What happens is that the relatives abandon the gambling addict, and then the addict ends up on the streets committing crimes and ends up being murdered, or arrested, or gets involved with drugs and consumes excessively and dies. There are few cases of addicts who have relatives who help them with all the treatment until they are cured.

They are easy to spot though most gamblers despite knowing that they are addicted they never accept it. This is the easiest sign to spot, people continue losing and they act like nothing happened. Second it can be a sign of not being satisfied or not staying one single day without gambling, only gambling can fulfill their days and life. Another sign is people keep playing despite hitting heavy loses day by day, I have seen the same people complaining of how scammy a casino is and they are there every day to keep playing. These are major signs and can easily be spotted, there are more subtle signs too.

The fact that addiction is something that comes in a subtile manner makes some persons not to even understand they are actually getting addicted, the early stage is usually one that even the gambler may not notice except in some cases and so they actually keep gambling until they eventually loose it by actually getting deep into it. Even when some are been told about signs of it been noticed around them, ,what happens next is seeing them trying to be defensive it's only those who are addicted chronically that do accept their addiction.

Well that's the reason why gambling should be done with full awareness in mind, none other than because that awareness will help us to recognize various indications that lead to an impulsive approach and of course indirectly it can prevent us from addiction because we realize that it is an indication that can lead us to an approach that is harmful to ourselves in the end.

So it can be concluded that one of the reasons why a gambler is addicted without realizing it is because they are not careful in their approach, so addiction without realizing it is indeed a fact and most gamblers who experience addiction start with the unawareness that they are gradually entering signs of addiction, so the point is this is the reason why gambling must be done with full caution, because the many temptations in gambling can very easily make gamblers addicted without realizing it

Additionally, I believe procrastinating other activities and unconsciously or conscious going to gamble is a serious sign that you're way too into gambling addiction. I have seen lots of people miss opportunities because they shifted almost everything to create more time to gamble. perhaps op you have said it above but I still have to point to it because I have an experience on that.

Secondly very sad that we have to keep running around discussions like this meanwhile we all know what is the truth.

Gambling is actually a waste of time and money, some chronic gamblers can spend 5 hours gambling forgetting that they have to be at work or somewhere important. You don't just losing your time but also your hard earned money, this is what makes it a losing game. If it gets to that point where you have to postpone everything else to focus on gambling just know that it has become a dependency issue. I have gone through situations where I was supposed to be in the gym at a specific time but I decided to procrastinate because I was gambling and at the end of the day my activities for the day gets disrupted.

Yeah, addiction can be tricky because sometimes you might not notice it creeping in until it starts affecting things like your relationships or finances. I realized I was spending too much time and money on certain habits, and something needed to change. It's good to pause and check if you're losing control over how much you're indulging in something, whether it's gambling, vaping, or anything else.

Yes indeed, as a bettor from the beginning until time goes on with the bets made, that bettor will not realize himself entering the period to become addicted. But, if the bettor has many colleagues who have previously experienced addiction from gambling, then at least the bettor will get a lot of input by his colleagues who have experienced addiction first. But, if the bettor does not have anyone and or does not care about the surrounding environment and does not care about advice, then of course over time the bettor will experience addiction that was not realized before. After all, if the bettor realizes that he has entered the period of becoming a gambling addict, then of course they will have some efforts to not fall too deep.

Simple say that it still depends from how a person take things out, like what you mentioned if a peron got someone around him who already suffer from addiction he can use that information if he's open for suggestions or open in terms of poassibilities it might be a good help for him not to allow that same thing happened to him, his attitude and his discipline will prevent him from going the same path.

Though same deal, if he's not concern in anything then the chance of getting addicted is not by far as he'll take the route even there are things that being shared as he will follow his own will and regret after.

Not every addict will be easy to realize their addiction. Some addicts think they are doing the right thing, other may not care with addiction. In cases of severe addiction, they even think that gambling is an inseparable part of their daily life. In this addiction level, no suggestion will be effective to stop them. They need special treatments from the doctors. So, you can't expect that all addicts will immediately stop their bad habits after we give them some suggestions.

It is very rare for an addict to admit to being addicted or to recognize his or her addiction, because if they could realize that themselves, they would never become gambling addicts. There are cases where they realize they are addicted when they lose all their property and loved ones, but by then it is too late to realize their mistake. Therefore, once addicted to gambling, they have no way to get rid of the addiction on their own and need the help of doctors and relatives.

I have said this before, I do not believe that a gambling addict can overcome his addiction without paying a heavy price or without help from loved ones. That is why I advocate that we should talk about our gambling habits with our loved ones instead of hiding because only they can recognize whether we are addicted or not.

When I switched from smoking to vaping, I was worried about falling into a similar pattern, but I tried keeping it in check by tracking how often and how much I spent on it. I found a site, Nexus Smoke, that offers lots of product options, and it helped me transition better since I could choose lower nicotine levels and slowly reduce my intake. It's worth looking into if you're trying to manage a habit like that.

Though, you have to keep in mind there are techniques which are widely used by casinos to desensitize their gamblers when comes to the event of losing money in a regular basis, it is like getting them accustomed to losing money in each session until they do not longer care, in the pursue for the jackpot there is allegedly eating for them at the end of the deal tunnel built by their accumulated losses.
That is why I believe one of the most important things one is supposed to do in order to avoid gambling addiction is to have a person we confess our winnings, losses and wager, so such a person of confidence can act as some thing of thermometer and let us know when we are getting too far with our wagering or allowing desensitization to take over us, seasoned with greed and love for money. Though, it would be important that other person of trust not to be a gambler as well, for obvious reasons.

We always talk about gambling addiction here in forum but it all seems vague. What are actually signs or symptoms of gambling addiction that you can try and detect from yourself or other people?

Individually we may have different ways of having signs of gambling addiction, I know quite well of gambling and if you are getting addicted in the gambling, you will be thinking that everyone match you see will be sure game for you, secondly, you will not be contented in anything you're doing that gives you fund's except you participate in gambling...we all know that gambling has a spirit that cosme into humans, and if you're not safe control you can't control your ambition in gambling

So people what means them to be addicted in the gambling is as result of the experience of loss they have recorded, and some vow that they most recover their funds they lost through gambling before they can be retired in the gambling, so this is one of the primary thing that leads some people to be addicted in the gambling

And some people have another theory that derived, that frequent gambling or consistent gambling can create avenue for a gambler to record wining, basically I know that gambling has to do with luck, but been addicted in gambling is base on out of greediness and procrastination that you will win gambling if you partake today or tomorrow...so some of us need to desist from such concepts frequently participation in gambling brings wining.

To question ourselves to others, sometimes we are skeptical and lazy, basically I think everyone will feel that they are in addiction, there is a conscious point they pay their abnormal gambling accommodation, but they do not care about it, it could be a conscience His small says for this way to remind, but excessive emotions will eliminate all the awareness that is in our minds and hearts and make the wrong decisions so that they spend money.

The signs of a second are when the mind has begun to think more about the good gambling that will be done know what has been done, because that triggers you want to gamble and gamble again.

It always more easier to enter than exiting the premises even when we are losing or winning, it takes a mature mind to overcome the temptation of being emotional carried away by any of the circumstances of either when you are in profits or when you Lossing, winning might make you become more confident of your self and of course expecting more winning and you may end up losing it all while Lossing might as well make you feel like given up is a bad idea, so you see gambling can become problematic when a gambler becomes so indecisive of his or her present circumstances.

And that’s why it’s very important to first master self control and emotional stability before attempting gambling because, without these two, one may easily fall prey to these circumstances, indeed it’s very easy to feel overconfident when you’re in a winning spree, it becomes difficult to exit the casino as they’d feel the need to take back everything they’ve been losing in their previous encounters. Likewise when they hit a losing streak, it becomes harder to turn back as they believe they’ve lose enough already and wish to recover everything or at least half. But with self control, a gambler knows when exactly to exit the premises regardless of the circumstances involved.

I have gat to figure out something which is very simple, there is an adage that say that a tree that doesn't know how to dance can be thought by the wind, yeah we might not understand it all before attempting gambling but why we are already in the environment or space of gambling we should be able to learn as what should be best obtainable in regards to our approach, commitments, as well as risk tolerance and financial management, in light of sustaining and maintaining a good gambling behaviors, experience will surely teach us better then we are outside the box with assumptions.

The problem is not as if we don't know but when it comes to gambling you have to learn to play by the rules we know there is loses but the chances of winning is also there and eve if the house is in favor the individuals are also benefiting because there people that are also winning, and I don't even like the issue of realizations because as the risk is there the chances is there the same time, why not play the risk and see if you will be able to win I know of people that have won a good amount of money and have used it for a good investment because you see comments like gambling is risky but we love the risk just that it is not good to overdo it, and that is were the problem lies when you understand the pattern moving in it should not be a problem then, when you win you have to reduce how happy you are going to be, and you will want more all gamblers have that feeling and you will be pushed sometimes to want to put good money to see the out come but when it turns like that you might not even win anything.

from what I have been able to understand and pick out from your wall of text, i dont think you are wrong at all, but I still stand on the opinion that most gamblers have failed to realize this fact and that is why you see them, even after winning, they still end up giving back some, most and sometimes even all of their winnings back to the house all in the name seeking for more profits but of course we already know that usually ends.
when a gambler is knowledgeable about these facts, it helps him know just when is the right time to call the game a quit or when to continue playing both before or after winning.

It always more easier to enter than exiting the premises even when we are losing or winning, it takes a mature mind to overcome the temptation of being emotional carried away by any of the circumstances of either when you are in profits or when you Lossing, winning might make you become more confident of your self and of course expecting more winning and you may end up losing it all while Lossing might as well make you feel like given up is a bad idea, so you see gambling can become problematic when a gambler becomes so indecisive of his or her present circumstances.

When your whole thought is filled up with gambling thoughts and you have nothing else to think, except ways to make quick money. You know that you are being hit by gambling addiction, no two ways about it.

Someone who thinks more of gambling as a way to make quick money needs to check on themselves because they need help to save themselves from the financial losses of gambling.

Nothing destroys someone's finances like gambling addiction. It is not what someone should treat lightly like it's nothing when they notice it. You as the addicted person need to fight it on time to have your life and finances saved.

In my opinion, when someone has reached the point they already can only think of getting money off their gambling sessions or chasing losses they have been after for months, then it would be fair to call such a person to be suffering intermediate addiction to gambling or perhaps it is the beginning of addiction to gambling, whether it gets worse or not it would depend on the percentage of their monthly income which is wagered on the casino and how much of all of it gets lost to the house.
It must be a nightmarish situation, if you think about it, not being able to picture anything in your mind except to be logged on a casino rolling dices or bouncing Plinko balls, wanting to engage in other daily activities but they do not longer provide any pleasure as they used to. It is pretty sad.
