Yes, I do. That is why I do not gamble with the money that I cannot afford to lose, and I am not addicted to gambling. But I won't deny the fact that there was a time when I gambled a lot and lost my entire salary in casinos. Which actually helped me to learn a lesson. But the positive part is, I came to a realization that I cannot risk everything. There is nothing guaranteed in Gambling.

People get addicted because they are not the family's workers. Or they have other family members who earn money and can cover their family's expenses. They are not responsible for their family and their loved ones. Family members should step up and help them.

And what kind of help is there today for gambling? I suppose it could be help from a psychiatrist or other specialists in these matters. How else? I don't think that addicted people can be cured with words from loved ones. It doesn't help many people. The problem is much more serious than it seems. It's akin to some kind of drug addiction, if I may say so. It is also important to acknowledge the existence of the problem itself. If a person does not want to get rid of the addiction, it will be very difficult to help him.

Financial issues are the primary concerns; all the others will just follow because when you are losing a lot of money from gambling that you should not lose, all the symptoms will follow. Like you all mentioned, all gambling issues are related to finances. When your finances cannot keep up with your urge to gamble, irritability and mental instability will show up.

When that happens it's dangerous for a gambler to be in the state of considering loan. Which is the next step for players in such a condition. However, addiction sets in even before finance gets exhausted. As its result the player will end up not having control over money, and emotions. A reason why gamblers shouldn't stress out on making profits, is due to the risks of losing self control.

Even if there is some income in gambling at the beginning, people become depressed if they lose at some point. Gambling addicts are always in debt and the financial impact of gambling can be devastating. Individuals gamble with debt which can deplete savings and even resort to illegal activities to finance their gambling habit. This causes financial stress and bankruptcy can lead to loss of assets and severe economic hardship lost money leads to big financial problems to get back. Gambling requires self control if you can control yourself, you can deal with all kinds of problems.

Do you know what is most important? To remember that there are people who depend on me. That it will be difficult for them if they do not have the means to survive. This was the reason to give up gambling for many years, since I brought a lot of trouble to my family at the time because I did not notice anyone except myself and my hobby, if you could call it that at the time. Now my family is my first priority, and only then other things. And it may not come to gambling, since there are too many worries and responsibilities.

There is a lot of evidence that demonstrates that a person changes their personality when they are addicted, which is why their family members and friends claim they do not recognize the addicted anymore as they behave completely different than what they used to, and this is just one more reason to be wary of gambling addiction, as not only you will lose your money, time and loved ones, you will also lose the essence of who you are as a person.

If severe addiction to being a crime is naturally shunned because of something uncomfortable. They can do anything in order to be able to bet this which causes people to be close to being lazy to relate communication, because there is only adding to the burden and risks every day. But if the addiction can still be controlled does not make anarchy with people close to the family, friends may still be good

If the addiction has made you uncomfortable, surely no party will want to be in touch anymore, where surely this person will always have to deal with debts so that they can continue to play, it is difficult not to rehabilitate a gambling addict, there is no certainty that they will recover,

It is very difficult to recover from gambling for those who are addicted to gambling. They will experience a great life, destruction, stress. I see many people who are addicted to gambling to the point of committing suicide because they are in huge debt to gamble and not only committing suicide, some are going crazy because of their own destruction. Be grateful people who still have control over their minds consider gambling to be just entertainment

I would even add that the relatives of an addicted person usually try to stop him by resorting to harsh methods, but the addict, in order not to lose a part of himself, will definitely find a way to return to his habit.

People are different and gambling addicts respond to different methods. Some when faced with harsh punishment rebels and do their very best to go back to their habits while some don’t need severe discipline for them to go straight and not go back to their addictions.

However this probably depends on at what point the addict is at. Whether they are already in too deep or not. Ultimately, I think just being there helps a lot. Addicts don’t like being condemned than any more than necessary since they already know where they went wrong. But again if they are already in too deep, gentle love might not help as much.

#3: Denial/Concealment: Most addicts are in denial. They would never admit to having a problem. However they probably subconsciously feel that something is wrong or at least there is something they should not be doing. If you are hiding your gambling habits from friends or families, you might already know deep down that there is an addiction already.

It seems to me that this is the most obvious indicator of a problem gambler, because they often start lying and not showing this hobby to their wife, girlfriend, or family. And the thing is that they behave so secretly because they understand that their family will probably not approve of such a hobby. And they are right.
We all know how society treats gamblers. Of course, a gambler can lie about winning and getting winnings from a casino, but I think that his inner state will give away the gambler's true mood. If he actually loses, he will always be angry, even more secretive. But sooner or later, any gambler loses.

Not all of the above should be attributed to the signs of addiction, I think everything is much simpler here, an addicted person will always return to his bad habit, and he may not even consider it as such, this is always more noticeable to those people who are near him. But nothing will change until a person understands that he himself wants to quit, this applies to any addiction.

I would even add that the relatives of an addicted person usually try to stop him by resorting to harsh methods, but the addict, in order not to lose a part of himself, will definitely find a way to return to his habit. It's as if they provoke him themselves. This is a very fine line and here we need to look for a special approach to everyone, because if we press harder than necessary, he will lose even more. Although when there is nothing to lose and the player is in a bad state, you can try to do this, but it is better to consult with specialists before doing this.

An addicted gambler will not think about the dangerous of taking a loan because they only want to keep playing gambling and if loan can solve their problem, they will do that and not care with how they can repay the loan. When someone addicted to gambling, he can not think clear about the risk and will search for the other people to take a loan. The sign of gambling is when someone want to return to casino in the other days because they think that they can win and many of them are curious how it feel the winning. That makes them return to casino and play another gambling games or back to the gambling games that they played before.

I have my family. I have to cover the entire expense of my family. I have my mother, wife, and children to care for. I have to make money so I can take care of them. If I gamble and lose everything, they will starve. If I am a responsible guy, then there is no way to spend my hard-earned money on gambling. It is okay if I want to do it for entertainment purposes. I would deposit what I could afford to lose.

Some will sell their belongings and even borrow money if it meant they could gamble.

That's the severe and worst part of gambling addiction and such addicts almost forget about all moral values that they have learned throughout their life. They even sell belongings of their parents, siblings, and sometimes their wives.

Such level of addiction can destroy many lives and such addicts should get rehabilitation as soon as possible. Because if they don't get rehabilitation on time they'll continue to destroy their lives and the lives of their loved ones.

Yep, it's bad but at the end of the day it's an open secret that happens in some circles especially for those in the lower strata of the economy where they are always struggling with their financial management but force themselves to gamble.
Negative things such as selling their possessions, assets or property and maybe even some cases such as selling children or making children as collateral for their gambling have happened in the worst cases of addiction ever.

It's just that things like this also cannot be changed because however such situations are consciously or unconsciously created by the gamblers themselves so it is important for us to be able to emphasize more to ourselves if we really want to be in the scope of gambling or really want to feel gambling then as much as possible we must be responsible for what we do so that in the end we know the limits of ourselves and do not cross these limits.

Someone who is addicted to gambling will find it difficult to recover, and to recover they must have awareness, while for people who are addicted they tend not to think twice before gambling, they will only think about winning which makes them not consider the actions they will take even though it is high risk. With people who are addicted to gambling, in my opinion they have the wrong initial intention where they think that they will be able to win easily while the reality is not like that. Advising him to reduce gambling activities is a must, especially if it is a close relative, but have you ever experienced where you are annoyed because you have often advised him but there is no change in the addict? I have experienced this and what I did in the end was to let him be until he was really miserable and regretted all his careless actions

That's the problem because they think they can make money easily in gambling so they don't think long before starting it and addiction like this will be increasingly difficult to cure if not controlled properly. Some people who are not addicted set aside a special budget for gambling and stop when the money runs out, this way of gambling is not a problem because people will find it much easier to control themselves when involved in gambling.

I have also experienced the same thing as you and after we advised them, they did not change but got worse and even said that if we also gamble, why advise them. But they do not understand that the gambling we run is more responsible and not excessively involved like him.

On the contrary all this boils down towards individual approach as regards to gambling, don't be in a hurry to forget that there are those who feel that they can make it big through gambling to solve family problems and take care of love ones, these are those who consider gambling as a means of generating income other than seeing it as a game even though we do make some profits sometimes, when a man is sole committed to gambling it becomes problematic even the kind of life he lives will be affecting those around him, the key truth is that it is very wrong for anyone to make gambling a key factor of their sources of income.

That is a mistake. People who expect to make their living by gambling will be proved wrong. There is a saying: House always wins. The house always has the advantage against the players. People who try to make money through gambling know the risk when they gamble. I wouldn’t risk losing my money when I know I have family members to care for.

I do gamble from time to time. But I do not risk what I cannot afford to lose. But people who are addicted in gambling risk their last savings which they earned and saved for years. I hope I won't have to deal with it in my life.

This one is so heartbreaking;That's obviously the worst kind of addiction that anyone would experience, because that's literally the only option they can lean unto at that point in time.They start to sell off their properties until there's no one of it left for them to survive.A lot of toxic experiences after gambling losses is disastrous to individuals feelings and wellbeing entirely.

Gamblers that have gone to such level of addiction needs intensive specialist attention and also family members would have to be very cautious of them as they could be dangerous if they should have access to documents of family properties because they do this without minding the consequences as a result of the addiction they suffering from.

Sometimes I get to develop empathy for these chronic addicts who have allowed their irresponsible gambling habit to ruin their life making themselves a problem to their family and friends. Talking to one I used to know, he said something about know being able to really explain why he did some of the things he did just to get money to satisfy his gambling urge. Ordinarily, they feel remorse at their actions whenever they get back to their senses but then it's too late as the harm has already been done.

Financial issue is also the factor that leads people to gamble. Sure, it is like the fundamental factor in gambling. People also gamble excessively because of expecting to recover their financial problem. However, we must always remember that we should never try gambling with the amount of money that we can't afford to lose. Using unsafe money will lead people to gamble unrealistically. They will try to chase the wins and they often carelessly using the money of basic/urgent needs. Finally, this will never solve the problem, it just results in addiction and sever losses.

Honestly, I hate the gambler that have no strong mentality, indiscipline, careless, and emotional. This type of gamblers just worsen the reputation of gambling. People mostly blame the gambling only, they forget that the gamblers should take the responsibility as well.

Beware of these signs and detect gambling addictions early on so that you don’t fall in too deep. What other signs do you think we should be wary of?

A good thread. I believe most gambling-addicted people know that they are getting addicted or already addicted. Unfortunately, they have not taken any action against it. I have said this before in other threads that people with responsibility cannot become gambling addicts. If they care about their loved ones, if they care about their family, they cannot be gambling addicts.

I have my family. I have to cover the entire expense of my family. I have my mother, wife, and children to care for. I have to make money so I can take care of them. If I gamble and lose everything, they will starve. If I am a responsible guy, then there is no way to spend my hard-earned money on gambling. It is okay if I want to do it for entertainment purposes.

Bitcoin = Financial freedom

The one important sign of an addicted gambler is they will try to quit but soon after a while they will relapse and this is the stage that the person can't able to quit on their own and may need rehab to quit. Unlike other addictions these can be completely unnoticeable by others which is one of the reason it goes very deep before making a comeback.

One should always be responsible that's good for their own health and financial status, and don't make it too often when you feel it's necessary just take a complete u-turn and focus on something else.

Of course, basically we can't lie that money is something important to us because it is the only thing that can support all our needs during life and that is the reason why we should not cause various problems to our finances just because of an activity that should not be too important like gambling, because as you said that when we treat gambling excessively then of course the symptoms will start, losing balance in the financial situation will be the main thing that will be affected.

The point is there is nothing wrong if you really want to get involved in gambling, but you have to know and understand what to prioritize and what not, and you also have to understand and know how to treat gambling properly if you don't want to experience any problems in your financial situation.
