We all say that gambling addiction is bad and it should be avoided at all costs but we do not provide the solution as how it can be done ?

Also, do we have institutions or centers where we can take an addicted gambler for a medical cure? Just like any other sickness, we need to consult the doctor, gamblers too need to consult psychologists or doctors who can help them overcome gambling addiction. It is impossible for any gambler who is already addicted to gambling to become non-addicted on his own.
Gambling is a strong addiction that once addicted is not easy to get rid of. Here it is impossible to get Medicare or medical formula that can completely get rid of gambling. But with good motivation and honest advice there is a possibility to get rid of gambling to some extent. In my locale people who are addicted to gambling often resort to anti-social activities like fights, robberies, thefts, murders etc. Bringing them under the law is not getting any benefit. However, an organization/institution called "Rehab" is working privately with gamblers and drug addicts in Bangladesh and they are already getting great success.

  -  That's really bad, just because of the addiction to gambling and just to relieve it, even one's own grandson will be used just for money.
This is just one of the bad effects of gambling addiction.

So it's really important that you have self-control so that you don't end up like this. This is shameful and it is not normal for someone to do this. It's actually a psychological problem. It's sad when old people are still like that.
That is why addiction is supposed to be avoided by all means. Once you are addicted to something, that very thing becomes more important to you even more than  your own family and friends. It is just like someone being intoxicated and will be doing things out of their consciousness.
The war against gambling addiction should be intensified and that is the reason why some countries ban gambling in total because of the adverse negative effects that may be out of control.

Exactly, and when it comes to addictions, gambling addiction is one of the most deadliest and dangerous addictions one could ever have,

Im very lucky in that I grew up with maths bias, learning statistics and probability theory even when quite young.  So this is how I view the world on just about any subject there is a relevance to a range of outcomes always possible in varying degrees with various bias applicable.    This structured view of event outcomes helps combat addiction repetition or excessive risk taking in alot of subjects especially involving money and bets.
   I would recommend if someone is really struggling to reset their thinking and outrun a bad habit involving money, doesnt have to be pure gambling people can waste money on lots of spending activities but my idea is to learn the structure beyond what you are spending on dont be blind to risk vs reward and the maths behind a product.  I do think that could help fix the view of the world, its never just purely random theres always some pattern to recognize imo it will help addiction. Write down bets, compare contrast should have build up more of a considered view some games are better suited then others to revision and thought but to process better the game you play I believe it will help in progression.

When someone  got addicted to gamble it will very hard to control the attitude.if someone is not addicted it can easily control it if he/she is not surrenders by gamblers but we he/she is always with gamblers it will not be easy for such to leave it because it will be motivated by does gambler, and easily such can get addicted.so the best to avoid all this stupid attitude, is to avoid addiction and to avoid addicted to gambling, is not to start. Devil easily enter addicted gamblers that have no source of income. I have read several news like this in different social media, so i have not shocked.

A heartbreaking incident (suicide) committed by a gambling addict occurred again in one of the cities in my country. I am surprised by people who are determined to commit suicide because of debt, after all debt is something that can be solved, message for suicides - why should you end your life and leave your wife and children without clarity, doesn't that only make them suffer more and the future of the children becomes uncertain!
The majority of gamblers who take their own lives believe that even while they are still living, their life will never be in balance again because of all the crimes they have committed. Never treat gambling as a way to get rich; if you do, you'll end up with a terrible attitude that could result in suicide.

If someone commits suicide due to gambling, that person likely thinks they are done with everything. And if he has debts and can't pay them, he might choose suicide to end everything. But he forgot how his family could carry on without him.

It must have been hard on his family, being abandoned by the people they loved so much. And it's all because of debt and gambling. When someone is already in debt and is only used for gambling, that is a fatal mistake because it does not guarantee he can get a win but he can get a loss. And if he lost, how could he repay his debts?
my condolences to the family left behind by the person who killed himself

My friend's sister once committed suicide because she had a broken heart, as a result of this her mother became stressed and finally had a stroke and until now she is still half-paralyzed

the mind of a suicidal person is too short, debts can be paid, and gambling addiction can be cured but family integrity is difficult to restore if we lose a family member

Yes, it's really an unfortunate incident because out of all the people, it's the grandfather who took his own grand daughter to blackmail his own family. Every addict knows this feeling and some are even selling almost everything inside their house, some even resort to breaking other house just to feed their minds to continue from gambling, they just don't know what they're doing because it's already on their system which prevents them to weigh things from right or wrong.

I agree with that, I know that casinos and other gambling platforms are good for the nation's economy because the millions worth of tax will be helpful to build infrastructures and other things needed but if the nation is already booming already, it's time to ban these kind of activities because the consequences are not really worth it. Take for example South Korea, they have their own casinos but only the tourists can use it and not their own citizens as it's viewed as unlawful act and doing such will result into a jailtime.

that's sad
I agree that life is bigger and more important than most temporary pain, even debt
maybe this shows an indicator of propensity of depression and neurotransmitter unbalance in deep gambling addiction
could be..
would love to see studies in it
That's too sad indeed, there's still other option to make it right and to pay for his debt, but he chooses the shortest way, I think he don't have any support system as well that will help him to process things. If anyone of us suffer from this we should know that we need a professional help for this and we don't need to sacrifice our life to escape from this misery there's always  a solution to anything.
I feel sad when I see someone commit suicide because of a gambling addiction using debt-ridden money and I have little thought that that person may have a large amount of debt and some other problem that is driving his suicidal thoughts.
But I think this person killed himself because he had a large amount of debt just to gamble even though he was the boss at the company so he chose to kill himself rather than have to bear the shame of having a lot of debt for the sake of gambling.

It is truly sad to hear of such tragic cases of suicide due to gambling addiction and debt, and it is worrying that some people feel trapped and helpless in their situation and see suicide as the only way out. While it may seem simple to say that debt can be solved, the truth is that for some people it can be a huge burden that they feel they cannot overcome. We have to admit that we don't know what others are going through. Everyone's circumstances are unique and we never really know what someone feels inside and how deeply they struggle.

In situations like this, I think the people who can make the most significant difference are those in the immediate environment, such as family members, friends and colleagues. They need to be there to listen to their struggles and give them support and encouragement to seek help. Suicide is never a solution and only leads to more pain and suffering for the loved ones left behind. That's why we should all make an effort to support and care for those around us, especially those who may be going through difficult times.

Gambling can be wild. Instantly from airborne to drowning in debt. "Monetary Russian Roulette," as they say. Remember that every debtor has a story, a problem, and a reason for asking for aid. Debt is difficult, but it can be conquered. Consult professionals, consider debt consolidation, and plan your financial future. Create a "Debt Buster" to instantaneously erase all debts! Let's be honest. Help those in need and raise awareness. Together, our path to financial freedom will be clearer.

Suicide is not a solution to get rid of any job rather I think through suicide a person escapes from a job or place forever. An addicted gambler forgets all these things. Such incidents happen almost everywhere in the world. But for this it is necessary to raise awareness. There is no reason to kill own self forever, if a man is willing and able to pay back his borrowed money by working hard. Any gambler should get a good education before gambling. Earlier there was no educational system about gambling, but nowadays, as gambling has taken shape as an industry, various types of research are being conducted on it all over the world. Also get a good idea about how to get an addicted gambler back to normal life.

Gambling addicts do the darndest things. This man in the story must have successfully kept his addiction a secret from his wife and family. Or even if he didn't, they must have downplayed the severity of the addiction. As it has been said over and again, addiction exists and thrives in secrecy. That's its superpower but once exposed or talked about its potency is reduced. It is not enough to say gamble responsibly but to reach and guide them how to gamble responsibly.
This is true, it looks like he had kept his gambling activities as secrecy from his wife and family. Many used to gamble together, when the gambling activity is on the losing streak the family members used to take decision to stop gambling. By the time husbands used to suffer as they can't control their habit. This is where they try to keep it as a secret and when they weren't able to manage the loss ends up with such bad behaviour. As said rather than saying gamble responsibly it is good to teach them how to gamble responsibly.

Well, for some people, sometimes it is difficult to maintain control of what they do, in bets when a person does not have confidence in himself and is carried away by adrenaline, he can lose all his money and enter the casino with a lot of money and go bankrupt if you want, so that is what you have to avoid, especially those who have family, children, because you have to be responsible with them first before anything else, then if you are a person who has duties, you must comply Overall, because that's what he has his people for, he can't stop doing it because it would be something very bad, so yes, responsible gambling comes in here.

one of the bad examples done by gambling addicts who are already crazy. from this story it can be a reminder for us that having a responsible way of gambling is very important to keep gambling in a fun way without disappointing other people like the people in the story you shared because having committed suicide made his wife and children disappointed by losing family members family because of a gambling problem.
it is very sad to be in debt for gambling and commit suicide.

maybe we as sane people will think that why should we commit suicide when there are all solutions. but not for gambling addicts who are too crazy or already depressed and psychologically disturbed.
so he dared to commit suicide.

To prevent gambling addiction one must first learn to control oneself because it completely depends on the person himself. The young generation is attracted to various gambling sites out of curiosity to become unemployed. Starting from the investment of 5-10 thousand taka, getting greedy and losing lakhs of taka is making their life more miserable. Instead of this habit, you have to prepare yourself by analyzing the harmful effects and symptoms or the reasons behind it at least I have come to this decision myself I want to quit gambling. I want to get rid of gambling as the demand is at a level where self restraint is difficult, it is necessary to seek the help of a professional or professionals.

The end point of your statement was true. If you are already addicted, there's a need for professional help.

Self-admission is also one of the factors that keeps you stay and keeps your engagement to go deep. Gambling without control brings
a lot of problems not only with finances but also with your mental health.

You need to have a strong will to stay away and be ready to quit. It takes time and lots of determination before you can
truly free yourself out from gambling.

make it a habit to gamble for fun and only to spend a small amount of money. Spare that you can easily let go and forget.

yes! that's so true
for some users scaling out slowly and diminishing gambling habits over time will work but others will need a complete cut
it'll vary from person to person

having a network of support with loved people and healthy habits will always help

this really depends on the person as others can do a completely stop and after few months they got healed from addiction which this was also done by the most professional but others who are just helping themselves this is their way to slowly quit gambling which still needs self control but having really a circle of friends will help you so much on moving on becoming addict and it is best if you and your friend has a hobby like sports to completely be successful in moving on and fixing your self and to not become a gambling addict.

Anything to excess will destroy you in the end whatever positive it appears in a moment.   A person could be totally peaceful just constantly eating candy bars and they will maybe end up dead that way if they cannot control the constant urge to eat unhealthily.   A person who drank coke, nothing added just fizzy pop ended up dead thats because caffeine in the very extremes can cause death and it is a drug.  She drank from the moment of waking and 2 litre bottles to herself all day, the caffeine causes heart irregularity which means a medical team to restart the heart was required at one point and she did not make it to the hospital and died.  The excess of almost anything must be seen as a vice and yes always be careful with money, reduce your bets to relearn a game if its not going your way.   The luck of winning a game should be a thrill not just money.
Exactly, and when it comes to addictions, gambling addiction is one of the most deadliest and dangerous addictions one could ever have, not only gambling but any addiction that involves money will never end up being good and the addict will end up doing things that no one in the world might have expected them to be doing, just like what the old guy did.

So, it's obviously true that excess of everything can be devastating for a person and one should always do things in the limit, whether it's a hobby, a habit, a desire, or anything in general, do it in a way that doesn't make you have the urge to do it very quickly again.
Unfortunately setting up limits for yourself and other can be very difficult, thanks to the internet we have access to almost anything we may want no matter where we are around the world, this has made self-restrain a rare characteristic as almost no one limits themselves and their desires on purpose in order to develop their discipline, and without it then it is becoming easier for people of all walks of life to become addicted, or to at least develop behaviors which can lead to addiction.
