Topic: Support, do not criticize. - page 2. (Read 1167 times)

Many people actually want to stop gambling , but they are not seeing the right position . So Encourage them actually don’t really have what they do to spend some time so they use gambling definitely make money and spend a lot of time in the process they lose more than they can afford to lose and it become a problem if you are in a situation whereby someone is gambling and passing challenges and you feel like the person needs help all you need to do is to advise and tell them to stop the person from gambling for a while

When the time is right, an addicted person will break free from his or her addiction, if the time is wrong there is nothing that anyone can do to make them stop, this is what I have learned from the experience that I have with gambling addicts.

Some people do need to be criticized before they wake up from their stupid dreams, they might be able to think about themselves after criticism, so I am not entirely against this idea, people are always different.

I have a cousin who is too rowdy, if you want him to listen to you, do not try to speak to him like a gentle person, as if you are preaching to him for a change, it won't go through his ears, but if you directly use some harsh worlds, in a way like you are trying to pick a fight with him, you will get his attention and also his senses.

It depends on the person that you are trying to change, I prefer the truth, in a gentle manner than trying to use harsh words, I won't even listen to your advice, I feel more pained with words than brute force.

      -      Well, you have a point about that. Having a decision is a matter of choice; if the time comes that an addicted gambler wants to let go, it is considered his choice, and he may have seen that it is in his best interest to give up gambling. .

Then one more thing: we can go through everything with a proper discussion and a proper reminder to them that we don't need to get angry or yell at them. That is why our understanding must be broad in all circumstances.

This approach works alot like magic because when you support someone who is in a mess of a stage a gambling addiction, you tend to show the brighter side of things that you could not have noticed since you are seeing things from the outside, and with that you can easily buy their interest and attention to listen to you after all, you doing that out of love, which helps them to come out of the situation on time.
But criticism on the other hand will definitely affect the victim's overall morale and motivation, so the best result when dealing with a case of addiction is to truly support the victim in the best possible that you can and try to avoid overdoing it in such a way that he may lose interest in overcoming the addictions at all seeing it as way of resistance.

Yes and that means the difference is in "managing and controlling", basically anything done in excess always results in something bad and especially if we are talking about gambling which is an activity that has an even higher risk than we imagine when you treat gambling in the wrong way.  Talking about healing or recovering someone from the addiction phase is a really difficult problem to overcome and we all recognize that.

But actually it all depends on the person, I say that gambling addiction is difficult to cure when you really don't realize that you have entered the addiction phase, because sometimes experiencing financial problems does not always make someone realize that all of that is due to wrong gambling, because gambling addiction lies in a person's wrong mindset which means that gambling addiction will not be too difficult to overcome if for example they want and have a strong determination to change, and after that we can help them with some support even if it's just a suggestion, and in my opinion what should be prioritized is to emphasize awareness, not to let them experience interest in gambling again, meaning that if possible, the healing must be supervised by several closest people, especially family.

For people who know that someone in their family or someone close to them is addicted to gambling, even after they have previously been able to recover from their addiction, it is not a fact that will be easily accepted so that the wrong response will arise, such as criticizing and so on, especially when they don't know how to handle or deal with people who are addicted, so it's not only addicts who face difficult situations but also the people closest to them.
Apart from trying to advise and continue to provide support so that he can recover from his addiction, also taking him to a professional is the right step because the addict will get the right treatment so that he can really recover of his gambling addiction, even when playing he does it responsibly or knowingly people closest to him so that when he exceeds the limit, he can immediately stop it because there is someone who controls it.

I don't understand the point at all in criticizing a person if they are trying to get rid of any addiction. In fact, it doesn't really matter how many times he or she relapses before he or she completely gets rid of his or her addiction. The only thing that matters is to achieve the result, even if the path to it will not be the easiest. In my opinion, support is something that we should provide to our loved ones, no matter if they are struggling with an addiction, gaining experience in something or just want to become a better person.

The difference between an addicted gambler and a normal gambler is not much. Addicted gamblers cross their gambling limitations whereas general gamblers gamble within control. But this gap does not allow them to be socially distanced. Rather if we support them there then they can come back from that stage. I don't think there is any chance to ever neglect or degrade them. It should be remembered that if an addicted gambler does not get proper support, at some point he will make bad choices. As a result, social security can also be threatened. Gambling addiction is not uncommon. Therefore, addicted gamblers must be supported with proper support to help them recover from their addiction.

I'm experiencing a similar case with one of my closest friends, although the problem he has has nothing to do with gambling. I'm sure that if I was critical with him, he would've stopped telling me about his problems. On the contrary, he knows that I'll always offer him unconditional love and won't judge him, and that's why he tells me about his improvements and relapses.

You shouldn't force someone to do something he doesn't like, it has to come from him. Making an addict feel bad about himself doesn't help, but sharing love and company can shed some light into his life.

The chances are limited but that doesn't means family and friends can't gives their supports to the addicted to gambling because they should helps the addicted to gambling to cure his addiction. It needs awareness from the addicted to gambling knowing that he already have addiction to gambling and he must talk to his family and friends about his problems so they can immediately helping him by seeking a way to start curing his addiction. When family and friends with the addicted to gambling can realize and give supports to him, he will knows that he is not alone because his family and friends will always besides him. This also gives trusted from his family and friends that he is serious to cure his addiction, especially if the addicted to gambling already seen what happens to him. Together, they will have a chance to helped the addicted to gambling and maybe doesn't need to takes too long to see the addicted can slowly cure his addiction. People deserves a second chance to get his normal life back but that depends on how the addicted to gambling wants to cures his addiction.

Those who doesn't get any supports from their family and friends can't survive from his addiction and become worst because they don't know how they must do and how they can cure his addiction. Yes, supports from family and friends gives an impact to the addicted person to gambling to realizes about his problems and cure his addiction.

Yes, the most important thing is support from your own family to treat feelings of sadness due to experiencing the risk of gambling, namely losing a lot of money without having anything left and not only that, because support from the family is very possible. that a gambler will try to be more careful and try not to overdo the betting he plays there so that indirectly the gambler will realize that thanks to the motivation of support and attention from his family he can recover from his gambling addiction.

Though, people struggling the addictions (regardless whether one is talking about addiction to gambling or addiction to illicit substances) one needs to keep in mind those chances given by family and friends are limited. They will be able to understand you have a problem at first, and they are likely to help you to overcome those obstacles when you first mention them, but as time passes and they catch you doing the same thing and committing the same mistakes again and again, sadly they will start losing hope and patience on you, they would even start to neglect you and abandon you because they assume there is nothing which can be done to help you out.
In the end, the willpower needed to overcome those very serious situations are supposed to come directly from the inside of the person suffering from the addiction, family support helps, but it is useless if one takes it all for granted and do not take advantage of it to seek for professional help to curb the addiction and regulate the way one spends money.

It is a cruel and sad reality of people who end up homeless and we see walking around on the street. Because if it, we must appreciate the support our family give us all, and in the same way support them as much as possible, for our households to stand indefinitely in all difficulties.

Supports from family and close friends will gives a good affect to addicted to gambling because they will knows that their families and friends is not leaved them and stills cared to them. That can gives more power to addicted to gambling so they will try to pass every steps to recovery their addiction. They will not feels too difficult to pass everything that's necessary to cure their addictions because they feel that they are not alone to do that. It's why the family and friends supports is always needed to helped the addicted gambling to realizes that he still have a second chance to have his lives back.

There must always be someone who will wake these guys to their senses, especially if they are in too deep in gambling. They don't know that they have a problem until you talk sense to them. They'll believe anything isn't their fault, and that it always has to be someone else's doing why they're having a series of bad luck. That's a mindset you can't take away from people that are too deep into the gambling pit, so I believe that someone should always act as a support to these guys to get out of that pit.

Of course, there are still those that are self-aware but not trying hard enough to get out of their state. They also need some help, too.

The difficult thing about all this is that the addict is the last to recognize their addiction, they will always deny it and say they can stop whenever they want... Which is a lie, they lie to themselves.

So it is very important that family, friends and loved ones keep an eye on any situation that gets out of control, addiction really is a very complicated thing to deal with.

If a person is addicted to gambling, he must try even if it is impossible to get him back. Because when he is addicted to gambling or when gambling time is made according to his routine, keep him busy, and you plan to take him away and distract him with various suggestions. Although a gambling addict will not get addicted easily he has to try I am still a current gambler but not as addicted I retire two days a week and gamble the other five days. A gambling addict will never earn money from gambling, and he will destroy his family and destroy society from the loss. So I think it is most important to protect a gambling person from addiction.

There would need empathetic, compassion and support when addressing addiction, including gambling addiction. Criticizing people struggling with addiction without understanding the underlying factors contributing to their condition is counterproductive and can exacerbate feelings of shame and isolation. Addiction can affect people from all walks of life, regardless of their background or circumstances. It's a complex issue that that stems from a combination of genetic, environmental, and psychological factors.

Approaching addicted people with empathy, understanding, and non-judgmental support is a proper way in fostering positive change. People struggling with addiction need to gain insight into the impact of their actions and feel empowered to seek help. Encouraging addicted individuals to seek professional help from trained therapists, counselors, or support groups can provide them with the necessary tools and guidance to overcome their addiction.

Nope. Babying them and "supporting" them is only going to cause you and the gambler even more problems. What they need is an intervention, not a fucking echo chamber telling them that "they can do it if they put their minds in it". And trust me when I say this because I am a gambling addict that was able to recover from my affliction all because I got some tough love and a pretty nasty real talk session from my bros and my relatives.

Imagine this, you have a friend that's already addicted to gambling. And instead of pushing them to face their problems head-on or actually encouraging them to forge the right path towards gambling addiction recovery all you did was stroke their ego and "inspire" them. That's not gonna work in the slightest cause all these gambling addiction clowns are going to justify every single instance of them betting with the most remote and stupidest thing out there. So when a friend that you know is addicted to gambling speaks up about having some massive difficulty in pushing towards quitting gambling, instead of telling them "nah bro you can do it, just remember why you stopped in the first place" (which by the way, is fucking corny to say the least), you give them contacts to a good therapist that would help them get into a recovery regimen that would give them the fix they need for their lives. Stop with this corny shit.

I agree, in fact I have realized and I have been saying it many times, in the forum there must be people who have the problem of addiction and sometimes do not know how to face it, sometimes the eproans lock themselves away and think they are alone, those who I Dedicate myself to Judging others, I simply tell them that they have straw tails and that any spark can make them light up, that is something that we should all see, that is why it is very easy to Criticize, it is very easy to judge, but those who do it they do, are they Prepared for them to judge? Or are they too perfect to have no errors? Sometimes the subject of addiction there are many who can say and say, but it is so cruel when people suffer from it, you have to be in the middle to know what it feels like, I have never been in that situation, but I have seen addictions, I have seen drug addicts, I have seen alcohol addicts, but based on this the things with a casino Addict , well I have not dealt with them.

As a person, it is very easy to reach out to someone who needs it, sometimes it is difficult to help with money because that is what you often do not have, but since advice can be given here I am sure that it helps a lot and that can be harmful, sometimes it is hard to accept this type of thing, but it is the reality, I think anything to help addicted people is the Best thing that can be done.

OP you just nailed it, people criticise all the time forgetting that this can happen to anybody, though we might not know what resulted to one being an excessive gambler which is addicted gambler, there are better ways of telling an addicted person something than trying to bully him or her, op I so much love this thread people see addicted gamblers as useless people but in real sense this are humans like us that may have turn to be addicted because of one reason or the other, the best way to even make them reduce this is by tell them the damage and the danger ahead if they continue in such act, at this point they need us and we must render this help to them if we really want them to change.
