Well and that is also the reason why recovering from addiction is very difficult, but it does not mean that it is impossible to recover from addiction, I mean recovering from addiction can be easy and can be difficult, depending on whether they still have an excessive interest in winning or not, and from here we can also conclude that the difficulty of recovering from addiction depends on the interests and obsessions of gamblers with winning.

On the other hand, I can honestly assure you that it seems like your friend is a gambler who finds it difficult to accept defeat, is not responsible for the decisions he has made and also most likely he came to earn money, in the end one thing is that controlled gambling and recovering from addiction will only be possible if for example they no longer make winning a priority.

To recover from addiction is a difficult thing, especially if they themselves do not have their own awareness of what they are doing is a mistake, sometimes there are players who get help from other people such as psychologists who try to make them aware, this can be done but does not guarantee that addicted players will be easy to recover, because the lack of awareness in themselves strengthens addiction into something that is maintained.

There are other cases out there that are worse and happen, this should be a benchmark for us not to do the same thing in gambling, being aware of the risks of addiction is not a trivial thing, keeping everything in good condition.

I had a friend who got hooked on gambling, and it was tough to watch. He started hiding it—making excuses about where his money went and avoiding people.

The advantage of a true friend is that you can tell him the truth, as you see it from the outside, if he has changed, then tell him that it is better to stop it now before it becomes a big problem for him. Gambling is not for everyone, there is a fairly low threshold for success, only a few percent of players can win, another part will play relatively without losses at best, the rest will only lose money. If you understand this, you can save a lot of money, just playing on what you don’t mind losing.

Many people confuse true friendship with other manifestations of interaction between people, such as acquaintance, neighborhood, common temporary interests. I agree with you that a true friend will do everything in his power to remove a friend from gambling as soon as he notices the first manifestations of gambling addiction, even if he hides them. An acquaintance or neighbor by and large will not care about someone else's gambling addiction, so he most likely will not take any steps to help the person who is in trouble.

Your friend might not be really addicted to gambling, he might be depressed for losing money to gambling and he thinks his only way of making it back is gambling. He is making himself available for ways to make the money, you know that it's not everyone that can handle loss in the best way possible, some will ghost everyone until they make it out own their own or some might remain like that because they might never make that loss they made to casino.

If you guys are very good friend, do well to check on him and make him feel love and try as much as possible to carry his attention from gambling. If he is not that type of person before the loss, he will leave the solo lifestyle and come back to you guys and might even quit gambling for good. If you also have more, provide him some financial assistance, you never can tell where yours will be another day, nobody pray to see someone dear to them in bad condition.

That's only the first signs of it and what's next to that could be more unbelievable. This is why those who are close to them will lose their respect and trust because they are the ones who are making it wrong. It's too obvious in their faces that they are lying and yet they will keep a strong firm on using it.
Don't avoid them as much as possible. Be a friend and help them with their problem because they will need it. Gambling addiction should now be taken seriously because of the growth of online casinos that are coming out left and right. They will find ways to gamble but if they know someone do care for them, it might change a bit.

That is one good thing about having a friend when you start crossing the line there is no way that you won't allow you to drawn in gambling because a lot of people have been suffering in the hands of gambling and they don't even know when to go on a break and that is one of the reasons why they have been suffering emotional because they need help inside them, but they won't speak out. And people are failing to understand that gambling is not for everyone amd they should also knon that gambling is not another way for them to make money it's just another game you play in luck to see if you will be able to win a price for getting it right and there is nothing more than that. But when you decide to see bitcoin as an opportunity to want to make a huge amount of money then you won't be far from addiction.

You should give it more attention on making it a habit as it's really going to help you track your expenses while you save more. Just like you, there are gamblers that think it's not necessary that it's going to have them worried knowing a total of how much they lost but they apparently have no glue of the benefits. At least you have been able to testify from your end how much you could save for the few time's you've done it.

Well it’s not really like I don’t do it at all, I do but not just that frequently, only once in while when I just wanna make reference to it, and I still feel like I’ll have the luxury of doing that every single time I gamble. Like, I have lots of things that I need to do in my 24 hours and some I even gotta do them simultaneously just to make sure I finish them before the end of the day, and so I feel if I chip in taking record of my gambling every time I gamble then I’m afraid that I may have a clash of activities and I wouldn’t want that.

Indeed, a purpose of being a close friend is have that someone who can openly gives opinions with how you are dealing with your activities, whatever it is they've got opionions that have value to weight in when deciding your actions, especially when you are dealing with gambling, if you are exceeding with your allocated limits a friend can tell you openly that you need to reassess and need to reflect with how you are behaving.

With that kind of care, you'll be able to realize to adjust and might have that opportunties to adjust and change the way you are dealing with your gambling participations.

Often addiction can be hidden from other people and even friends. You may notice a change in the behavior of a loved one, but you will not be able to understand what is wrong with him if he wants to hide it. If it happens in the family, then it is easier to detect, because more money may be spent than usual, or even the behavior (usually the mood) of the person will be different, so it should be noticeable to those who live with you.

If you know your friend addicted to gambling, you can try to close to him and ask him to do many positive activity that can distract his minds to gambling. You need to convince him that you will besides him no matter what problem that he face so he will know that you really want to help him to solve his gambling addiction. He will start to open himself from other people so you can enter to his life and start to identify the problem and start helping him. Maybe that needs time but that is worth to do because he is your friend.

Of course, parents should keep a close eye on their children, especially by paying close attention to the type of classmates or friends they hang out with. This will help you understand whether they are addicted to gambling. However, if he hides how he spends his money, then it is clear that he may be involved in some bad activity, especially gambling or drug addiction.

I think it is the obligation of parents to pay attention and direct a child to everything that is much better and keep him away from everything bad especially what is around him and when it turns out that a parent does not do that at all or other things that fall into the category of prevention so that his child remains safe and well then it must be questioned, and so far I think this is not a too difficult task for parents because after all they have full access to pay attention and manage their children, you can check all the money expenses made by your child and I don't think it will be too difficult for you to find out whether your child is involved in gambling or not.

Wayback when the technology isnt really that having such progress then it is really that easy to monitor out but now that we are living in a world on where the tech is already that having such huge change then accessibility is really that easy on which there's no way that you will be able monitor out everything as a parent nowadays but of course as much as possible you should really that know on what they are doing, if you cant monitor fully then you should be setting out some meeting up your kids and telling your kids or having some open forum. So it will be that up to you on how you do set up things accordingly as a parent on which you should be that responsible.

Addiction is the main problem that you will be able to encounter when you do deal up with gambling because at the time you will be engaging with it then you should set up into your mind that you are doing it for the sake of fun and not for making money because on the time that you are really that becoming addicted or interested with that then this is where problems do really that starts. So when you are that trying out to make up such engagement then be responsible into the actions or decisions specially on handling out funds.

That close friend help feature works only with smart friends. A gambler can share prize or buy that friend a present, and next time he goes gambling, that friend will be cheering and supporting addicted gambler with all possible ways. For a friend, who does not lose but only gain from addicted to gambling friend, it is even harder to keep self-control.

People need to make assessments of their gambling spending and habits if they want to be able to moderate how much of their finances that goes into gambling now and then. A lot of gamblers don't even know how much they spend weekly or monthly on gamble. Perhaps if they could do a good assessment study on that then they can save some funds into something better when they get to realize how much they use to gamble. Because with that it enables the gambler establish a gambling limit amount either for a daily or weekly spending.

I'm actually among those gamblers who don't always feel the need to track how much I spend weekly on gambling, except on special occasions when I just feel like checking how much I've spent for that month or the previous months, but you're actually right, because whenever I do this, and discover I've spent way too much on gambling that period, it enables me to kinda regulate my gambling habit or limit how often and how much I spend on gambling, and it makes me save more subsequently.

You should give it more attention on making it a habit as it's really going to help you track your expenses while you save more. Just like you, there are gamblers that think it's not necessary that it's going to have them worried knowing a total of how much they lost but they apparently have no glue of the benefits.

Is not bad to track your gambling activities though, but sometimes it can lead to mood swings after seeing the money you have spent for that week in gambling, especially if you're the type that gamble for the money alone , taking unnecessary risk just win big .

You could grow a bad mood knowing how much you have spent but such much is momentary meanwhile you have uncover your waste and would henceforth endeavour to limit how much you spend by applying discipline to your gambling pattern. It's better to be in the know than trance in ignorance.

There are some gamblers that when they are addicted, you cannot talk to them. When you show concern and talk to them for the first time, they will stay far from you. If they see you, they will hide because they don't want you to advise them to stop gambling. It will be hard for such people to overcome addiction, because they believe they can win a fortune from gambling. They see people advising them as an enemy of progress to them.

You have mentioned an important point. If we are very interested in winning, we can quickly become addicted to gambling. The first thing I need to know about gambling. Gambling is something from which there is a possibility of making a lot of money, as well as a possibility of losing a lot of money. Now if we always want to win, this is not possible at all.

To be a professional gambler, you must be mentally strong. Losing money in gambling is a normal occurrence. But you should not be upset about it. If we break down after losing money, it is very bad for our mental and physical health. Moreover, we must remember that in gambling, the chances of winning and losing are equal. I would even say that in gambling, you have to think that the chances of losing are more, and you should participate in gambling keeping this in mind.

I had a friend who got hooked on gambling, and it was tough to watch. He started hiding it—making excuses about where his money went and avoiding people. His mood would swing like crazy—on top of the world when he won, but super irritable when he lost or couldn’t gamble.

The worst part was, he wouldn’t admit it was a problem, even when it was obvious. Eventually, he got help through the abbeycare group, and it made a huge difference.

Well I think what you said is true that the trigger for addiction is because of the hope and belief that exceeds the word realistic in gambling because those are the only two things that I think continue to encourage them to continue to gamble consistently and even treat gambling blindly and experiencing defeat is indeed not something that can make them aware and then stop, not like that because actually defeat is something that challenges them that will make them even crazier, and this is the reason why there are always gamblers who end up trapped in despair and on the other hand this is also the reason why gambling addiction is a very difficult problem to overcome.

It is undeniable that they become addicted because they really put too much hope in gambling but with the results that tend to be disappointing, they cannot control themselves because they cannot accept that they have lost until all they think about is wanting to recover the losses that have occurred and even want to get profit so they chase big wins that are actually not certain to be obtained.

Those who gamble can probably be seen from their reactions when they lose, I have a friend where he gambles healthily but when he loses he borrows money to return by saying he is still curious and using a joking tone, even though it sounds like a joke but if he continues his gambling session it can make him lose control of himself which makes him addicted.

Well and that is also the reason why recovering from addiction is very difficult, but it does not mean that it is impossible to recover from addiction, I mean recovering from addiction can be easy and can be difficult, depending on whether they still have an excessive interest in winning or not, and from here we can also conclude that the difficulty of recovering from addiction depends on the interests and obsessions of gamblers with winning.
