On the other hand, one of the reasons why recovering from addiction is very difficult in my opinion is because they are still very obsessed with winning and also still can't let go of everything that has been lost, so maybe this is just a matter of time, if only one day they can make peace with reality then I'm sure they can also recover by themselves.
It's not about being obsessed with winning IMO but about being obsessed with money. Well, all of us want to have more bucks and that's why we're doing things like gambling to grow our money but that's how it should be if we want the stable way. Those that are recovering from gambling addiction will take time until they are able to get out completely and that's an admirable challenge and fight for them but not everyone recovers from it.

Unconsciously, they develop an addiction that initially did not exist at all, but because of the habits that are done slowly, addiction occurs even though it is not realized. The behavior of continuing to gamble is also because of wrong thinking such as they are confident that they will be able to win for sure while there is no sure way to win and in fact they are only chasing luck which they should not do because it will only make them addicted and difficult to get out. Someone who is trapped in a cycle of addiction will find it difficult to get out or recover even though they get outside help as is usually discussed, help from psychologists or families who encourage them, but that does not guarantee it either because the main key is in the addict himself.
I haven't tried to make money in gambling for a long time, for me it's just a game for fun, maybe that's why sometimes I just get bored of playing and I take a break. Actually, when I was more passionate about gambling, I also had similar breaks for various reasons, either because I got bored with it or more often because I simply didn't have enough time for gambling. Therefore, it's hard for me to imagine a situation in which I could become addicted to it.
Chasing our losses is a given, because the gambler is already controlled by greediness so he can no longer stop himself from just stopping. That is why greed should not be allowed to enter a gambler. Because once it enters a gambler, self-control and self-discipline are gone.
That is why stopping cannot be prevented even if the amount a gambler loses is large when playing at the casino here in the field of crypto gambling business.
It's hard to stop greed when the sensation is still there. We will only wake up on it when we've got no more money left on our balances. That is why stopping cannot be prevented even if the amount a gambler loses is large when playing at the casino here in the field of crypto gambling business.
But it's true that before it happens, no one should be influenced by greed because it's the biggest influence that we're having that makes us gamblers become addicted.
#4 Inability to stop: I can gamble and still stop when I’ve had enough. Gambling addicts might not be able to do that. They will continue gambling and maybe even make up excuses for it such as “I will just take back what I lost” and many more.
many gamblers don't give much thought to the fact that their inability to stop gambling is the beginning of a gambling addiction. usually gamblers who have entered this stage do not realize that they are addicted to gambling, maybe they think that it is just them chasing a regular loss and understand it, but this can be bad if it continues because not only can it cause severe addiction, but it will also cause financial problems. a gambler must understand their limits and when to stop. making excuses to chase a loss is not responsible gambling.
Chasing our losses is a given, because the gambler is already controlled by greediness so he can no longer stop himself from just stopping. That is why greed should not be allowed to enter a gambler. Because once it enters a gambler, self-control and self-discipline are gone.

In my opinion, in your description of addiction you missed the most important point - that addiction has a negative impact on a person's health if it is not controlled and treated. Remember this compulsive feeling of wanting to gamble again and again. Get rid of it gambling addicted person compared to even a beginner is very difficult. This is nothing but a psychological problem. The same feeling a person feels when he becomes addicted to alcohol, drugs, etc.
#5 Financial issues: Once you start going out of your way to gamble even if you no longer have money, you have some serious addiction going now. Some will sell their belongings and even borrow money if it meant they could gamble.
I often find this in the neighborhood, friends and others. Because of easy access anywhere, they forget about the surrounding environment, they are willing to do anything to be able to play it, i really understand that, i personally am a gambler, sometimes i spend all the money i have, hoping to return the defeat before, after that i try to manage how much allocation i can spend on gambling, fear holds me back from fully spending the money i have, besides that i don't want to forget what is a priority like friends, especially family.On the other hand, one of the reasons why recovering from addiction is very difficult in my opinion is because they are still very obsessed with winning and also still can't let go of everything that has been lost, so maybe this is just a matter of time, if only one day they can make peace with reality then I'm sure they can also recover by themselves.

Addiction is an excessive interest in something where they always want to get or feel the same sensation such as victory, so maybe it can be said that the signs of addiction are when someone cannot pass a single moment without gambling or they want to always spend their time gambling that even when they are in other activities they always think about gambling.
Honestly, I have experienced that before which makes me say it here because I am also a former gambling addict, but unfortunately not everyone can really identify the changes in themselves that make them continue to be carried away until they experience addiction at a chronic level, this is the reason why gambling must be done with full awareness.

It seems difficult to realize the signs of gambling addiction because after all, you yourself can also realize addiction when you have become an addict. So, it's basically hard to realize the signs of addiction because anyway, when gamblers can still continue to gamble because they still have a lot of budget, then they will continue to do so. Because after all, the realization of addiction seems to happen more often when gamblers experience losing streaks and maybe even bankruptcy. At least, it is at that moment that the gambler will realize that he has been addicted too deeply even though some of them did not succeed in overcoming their addiction, but in fact there are still many gamblers who really managed to stop their addiction to gambling.

That is why when I play gambling I constantly listen to my inner state and the feelings I experience. I cannot say that at these moments I feel pleasure from the game, definitely not. But I am sure that the next time I go like this I will not think of it as a great entertainment that I constantly want to return to. So why am I gambling at all?
The thing is that sometimes I get bonus promo codes and they need to be played, trying to turn them into real money. This is how I play, not perceiving gambling as fun and not giving a chance to addiction.
If you have a good control it won't affect your intention though not all have that same mentality, and most of the time when you already got engaged your perception change especially when your adrenaline push you. But there's really some that can limit themselves knowing that gambling can penetrate and lead them into addiction those wise gamblers base their decision from the experienced they've got.
The better you can control the chance that you may not turn into addiction, just wisely playing the game with the same intention that you are aiming each time you play whatever types of gambling you are involved.

Gambling is meant to be fun and most time we could make mistakes while trying to make money from betting.
Addiction always have a sign and we should be ready to take some risk if we really wants to make money with ease. Because of our urge to make consistent profits from betting, we do make mistakes most time because of the circumstances we are going through. I don't blame most people that found themselves in a critical addiction that they don't know how it emanated. It is also good for us to understand what we are doing so we don't fall victim to addiction that can crumble our lives.
When a person enjoys playing in a casino, he develops a habit. He wants to experience this feeling constantly. And so, imperceptibly, the player develops an addiction. Then, of course, it all turns into a process when you need to win back the money that you lost before. A vicious circle, from which it is quite difficult to get out on your own without outside help. Here you need a huge willpower, and not everyone has it. Most likely, a person becomes addicted to other hobbies if for some reason he no longer plays in a casino.Addiction always have a sign and we should be ready to take some risk if we really wants to make money with ease.

Many factors actually trigger a person trapped in gambling addiction, such as what the OP said as an early sign for those who are addicted, but for those who want to restore what has been lost, it only makes them actually more immersed in the addiction, in my opinion, in fact many people are aware that they have an addiction but it is difficult for them to admit they are addicted during this time, besides gambling addiction not only has an impact on finances, but also on mental health and their social relationships, those who are addicted to gambling often experience stress, and often even relationships with family and friends are disrupted because of their compulsive gambling behaviour.
And mental health is no less important, but we discuss it much less often, perhaps because even without gambling we have enough stress at work and in other areas of life. Gambling failures can cause the same or even more stress. While a gambler can cope with not losing more than he should, in the mental aspect the losses are very difficult to measure, but I suspect that they can have an even greater impact on our health than we can imagine.

Admitting to having the addiction has been one of the top challenges of some of these addicted Gamblers and that sometimes leads them into continuing probably that's the only way they could escape accepting the reality upon them, it could be so stressing battling and fighting the fact that they have got such heavy burden to deal with, it's only in very few cases that some of them later breaks free from any of such but they can say for sure they really do have to go through a whole lot to get themselves fixed sometimes and the overwhelming stress of that makes some prefer to rather continue with the addiction.
