I remembered before I talked to an acquaintance who likes to gamble in the casino and he was bragging about his vip membership card, and he was bragging to me that you can't enter the casino without the vip card. And he tells me that he's not an addict, it's just a hobby.

But there were times when he also admitted to me that the habit he started playing in the casino was that he experienced several times that the salary he earned at work was only a few hours gone because he gambled at the casino. He worked for a month and only spent a little while at the casino, meaning he has an addiction that he is having a hard time getting rid of.

This is a common sign among all gambling addicts, denying the addiction. Some people believe that gambling addicts are people who spend huge amounts of money playing without making any returns and that successive losses are what make them addicted to the habit of playing without stopping. This may be partially true, but it is not very accurate. The evidence of addiction is that the person always thinks about continuing to play even if he always makes profits, meaning that he is not attached to losing in all cases. We all know cases that have lost all their profits from gambling after they were unable to stop playing despite making good profits. There is no explanation for these cases except that they are people in a state of pathological behavioral addiction that they cannot get rid of.

I’m not sure how telling of a sign it is, but I would think that posting regularly on gambling forums on the internet is probably not the best sign that you aren’t addicted to gambling. As long as it doesn’t become a problem and have a negative impact on your life, I think you’ll be ok. Mostly just don’t do dumb stuff and look for things to blame.

Actually, if many of us here are not gamblers it probably means that they do not have quality experience about gambling. And again, I probably think that anyone instead of anyone to be gambling regularly, it is better for them to be posting constantly on the forum. Because regular posting on the gambling board will do them no harm, but regular gambling will make them to become addicted to gamble.

Symptoms vary between users depending on how much they've lost in gambling. A person who has lost little will be in an urge to recover what he has lost and will be thinking of gambling and the different ways possible for the same. A person who has missed his life spending everything will be looking for an opportunity to make money so that he can spend it once again and recover back what he had lost earlier. In simple terms, once lost, the person's thinking will be surrounding the gambling activities and never come out of it. This is the start of real addiction. If one is able to realise it, then sharing the hard incident with a closer person and needing to focus on something else. This will help them come out of addiction. Maybe the person whom we share about the loss might scold, but that gives some relaxation, and some might give consoling words that would help us recover and understand the real gambling problems.

This is actually the main thing that triggers gambling addiction, the thought of trying to recover what you have lost, the more you think about the losses the more you would be tempted to get them back. Logically it's insanity to chase your losses by gambling more but at that point you are too desperate to think straight. Gamblers including myself must learn to move on from what you have lost, accept reality and don't try to avert those losses by gambling more, revenge gambling always backfires, the chances of winning from it are very slim because it's done out of emotional feelings. Focus on doing other things to get those money you lost instead of gambling more.

This is nice of you keeping a good communication with your family matters as your wife is also your confidant. You know not all men do this and in some cases, some men just keep things to themselves even away from their wives because they feel not every thing is worth telling their spouse and this pride and ego eats them deep to the point that it causes disaster in their life and wrecks their marriage and family.

Yeah, I understand and I agree with the fact that not everyone tells everything to their wives. I do not tell everything as well. But we should share important things. If I am getting addicted to something, which could affect my family members, of course, this is an important matter and I believe no one should ignore this thinking this is not a big matter for the family.

For now, I started a business already and have enough savings in crypto that even if I lose a couple of hundred dollars, my wife wouldn't notice. She does not know how much I am holding in crypto. But, If I were addicted to gambling or something, I am sure I would tell her that I lost a hundred dollars in a casino.

Yupss that's right, I also have the same thoughts as you that as long as gambling activities do not cause negative impacts in our lives then we don't need to look for the bad side or mistakes of such activities to be used as a defense, but on the other hand, my friend, maybe the purpose of posting these signs of addiction in this section is only to share with others, especially us, about what are the signs of addiction so that we can immediately take action if we experience such signs.
But from another point of view, I think it's also good, because by sharing such information, especially from those who have experienced it, it will be very useful for other gamblers so that they don't fall into the same problems as those experienced by people who are already addicted due to the wrong perspective and treating gambling in the wrong way, plus as we know, addiction often occurs without being realized.

Not necessarily that people who talk about gambling a lot of doesn't talk about it at all addicted to it or not, it's something that can be observed by their actions on daily basis especially by looking at their spending nature. So only someone who is very close might be capable of noticing when someone addicted to gambling.

Most of the people that posting in the gambling section are not even gamblers but probably because of the promotional campaign, they are force to make those comments. Therefore most of them can't be addicted because they are making comments on the online gambling platforms. And what let to addiction of gambling is the mindset of winning big and chasing of loss. If a gambler is not chasing his losses then he can control himself from addiction. And another thing that also making gamblers to be addicted is the small winning they got from the games.

We should not take gambling as passive income activity because most of them are using it and that lead them to the addiction.

However, even after knowing that they are addicted, they would feel insecure to tell a family member or their spouse of their challenges because they would feel less of themselves to have allowed it to the point of being addicted and this silently eats them up to becoming worse than they could think of as they refuse to share their experience with anybody.

I wonder if all men always dominate their families. I want to believe many men share their problems with their wives, sisters, brothers, or parents. Every person should have one close one who knows everything about them. When I lost my first salary in the casino, I had no one to tell except my wife because we handled the family. I work outside, but she manages the inside.

When we spend money on food, utility bills, and other expenses, we plan where and how much. If I spend my salary in the casino, I must tell her because otherwise, we wouldn't be able to manage it well. I am glad that I do not have a gambling addiction.

It is true that every person should have one close confidant to talk with whenever they have issues. I have come to realize that this aspect of communication is one of the major problems people are facing in the society, people do not keep secrets anymore rather they use it to blackmail their friends and partner. Lots of things are happening and this has made many people keep things to themselves and are dying in silence with nobody to talk to.

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've even seen worse but it's not encouraging to say that it's difficult to overcome gambling addiction. If any addicts read that, you know people, they will believe it's always like that but it's not so. Could you believe that no matter how addicted a gambler is, a simple solution of self-fighting by building a strong mind and willpower is enough to overcome it? It's all about changing the mind's disposition and finding another purpose. Also, gambling addiction comes in stages, many have not even crossed the red line yet, they can heal fast if they see the right advice or change their attitude. Even those who have crossed the line still have hope, I only wish they quickly find the right help.

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.

This is very correct. There are some kind of psychological challenges that will come with losing an amount of money that the person can’t afford to lose, which is one of the reasons why it’s advisable for people to only gamble with a small amount, which can’t trigger much emotional distress when they lose it. Even those who have good self-control, there’s a limit to the level of loss they can handle if they don’t stop gambling.

One of the main issue of a certain gambler on the moment that they will really be playing gambling is that they cant be able to control themselves and really that making use of the amount that they cant be able afford to lose. This is why its really that important that you should really know your limits specially on spending because on the moment or time that you cant be able to control then the you will really be that bound on losing tons of money. Signs of addiction isnt something that you could be able to notice it out for yourself but rather other people will be able to do so.
This is why usually a certain gambler will really be able to notice it out on the moment that they are suffering those huge loses.

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.

When there is responsibility, the player will be able to stop on his own, and the sign will be that each time the expenses on gambling will increase. And when it comes to the point where the player can afford to lose most of his salary, or even all of his salary, then this is a clear sign that there is a problem that needs to be addressed and a solution sought, if the player himself does not understand this, then his family needs to help him with this.

Responsibility alone should awaken the consciousness of a gambler because they should know they have other family needs to attend to when ever they are gambling which would enable them to take a leave after they have exhausted their gambling budget for the day but when it happens that even after exhausting their budget, they still continue it is obviously clear that addiction has set in and they should be able to control themselves otherwise it would become worse than they could imagine.

However, even after knowing that they are addicted, they would feel insecure to tell a family member or their spouse of their challenges because they would feel less of themselves to have allowed it to the point of being addicted and this silently eats them up to becoming worse than they could think of as they refuse to share their experience with anybody.

It is difficult to treat those who are addicted to gambling, in fact I think in this case we become awry to remind someone who is addicted, on the other hand maybe gentle advice is no longer effective for them because of the addiction that has spread to their brain and mind, while if you give advice harshly, obviously it will only make them avoid us more and more and maybe get deeper and deeper with their addiction as you said, In my opinion, a better approach is to provide empathetic support and seek help from professionals who are experienced in dealing with addiction, so that they can provide more effective and safe strategies to help someone recover without worsening the situation.

Absolutely rightly noted. Only the help of professionals who know perfectly well what they are dealing with will help here. Only in this way is there a chance to get rid of gambling addiction. Especially if you contact a specialist in time. The most important thing is to admit this problem yourself. Without this, there will be no effective process of getting rid of this harmful habit, addiction.

Yes, that is right because it needs an openness from the addicted person to realize that he is addicted to gambling and needs to cure it. When he can realize of what happen to him while we give a help to him, that will work for him and he can try the solution that we give so he can start to cure his gambling addiction. That will be the time for the professional to start the recovering of his gambling addiction because there is no rejection from him. But we may difficult to identify the signs of addiction in someone because he will hide that from other people while he himself does not recognize that he is already addicted to gambling.

the thing is that most addict would find it difficult to agree to visit a professional therapist because a lot of them don't even agree that they are addicted in the first place. for a civilized individual that knows how helpful professional therapist can be for this kind of situation and that truly want to come out of the addiction, its not going to be a big deal for them to take that bold step but for the regular guy that is in the street and gambles literally with anything that comes his way hoping that in some way through his gambling he can come out from the street after hitting it really big, it takes the grace of God for them to come out of the addiction.

instead of getting addicted and then trying to come out of the addiction through the use of the best strategy or working with a best therapist, it is best to work on staying disciplined so that you don't ever get addicted at all. it is easy to talk about your rout out of addiction but more difficult to truly come out of an addictive gambling lifestyle if you for any reason get addicted.

Extremely sad these circumstances for so many and the kids have to live and be struck down before they even had a chance with a very hard life indeed. I’m sure some strong willed determined kids come out of that tho, some kids that had to fight their whole life and make their own living even as a boy. Isn’t there some storybook or movie about that ?

I don't know if there are any movies about that. I know moogly, an Indian boy, was lost in a jungle, and the animals helped him to survive. I don't think that is a real story. But every homeless child's life is more than a movie. Most of them lost their father and mother because of their separation or they died in an accident. Now they live by begging for money from people, and sometimes some of them try to sell something. Some of them get addicted, too. A gambling-addicted person could be the reason for many people's trouble. Mostly, the children get affected, and this is a sad truth.

Bro, it depends.
There are some people out there who are irresponsible as hell. This is why we see kids become homeless because their fathers leave them. Gambling addictions and drug addictions create a lot of chaos in the family, and it sometimes ends up with divorce. The children become the victims of these cases. In my country, there are thousands of homeless children's lives in train stations. We cannot expect everyone to become equally careful of their family. Some people become brainless when they get addicted. They do not hesitate to gamble their last savings and do not care about their family. This is a sad truth.
