Everything will be influenced by person thoughts and thoughts will really seem abnormal when they are in certain conditions, for example gambling addict who is willing to spend all their money and do anything to be able to continue gambling.
He will really think that continuing to gamble is fun and very important, plus there is desire and curiosity about the ambition to be able to achieve big win for satisfaction.
This is the basic reason why gambling addict forgets awareness good mindset and easily commits various stupid actions which can cause complicated problems afterwards.
A gambling addict cannot have awareness when they are in gambling session and whatever they do is what they consider to be the most appropriate, and we must remember that this is why gambling addicts cannot easily receive good advice.

Indeed, sometimes destruction is strong warning for every gambling addict to have much more objective awareness and thinking, they will experience problems and difficulties which will enable them to think clearly.
But this kind of awareness also has differences depending on the quality of the mindset of each gambler.
There are those who can realize that when they enter the beginning of destruction and that there are still some valuable things that are saved and there are those who are completely destroyed until they have nothing, then they can realize that everything is mistake that must be avoided and corrected.

Yes, according to the story of my friend who is a former gambling addict, when he gambles he doesn't think about anything when trying to recover his losses, let alone chasing his losses, it's true that he almost looks like a crazy person, in fact he finds it easier to spend more money than before, he even was left behind by his wife and children because he often committed violence against his family when he experienced losses which made him seem unconscious and even sold his vehicle just to gamble, he almost used up all his assets and fortunately he realized in the end.

But fortunately he still had a house that he had not sold and finally he was back with his family until now he was no longer seen playing online gambling because he realized that gambling would only lose everything he had, fortunately he immediately realized that chasing losses because gambling is not the best choice for a gambler because it is a big mistake that no gambler should make and this has also made me realize that gambling must be responsible so that gambling should not exceed the limit which ultimately leads to gambling addiction.

It's unfortunate for some people because they regret it later. My friend would regret it each time he's in trouble and promise never to go back to it. But unfortunately, he will go back to it. It continues that way for a year. He doesn't steal; he doesn't smoke, not even to use his money for nice clothes, but to gamble. There was a time he went to learn some skills, and he was also loved by the boss, but gambling addiction destroyed their closeness, and he was sent away by the boss. Addicted is the worst thing that can happen to someone. Even in medicine, lots of this guy's start taking tramadol or other hard drugs just for the first satisfaction or just to know how it feels, but at some point they like the first feeling and try one, two, or more, and their body starts requesting it. Addiction has just started without their knowledge. It takes lots of work to fix yourself at this point. 

Therefore, it is important for us to be able to determine the money allocated for gambling, allocating money for gambling according to our abilities. This can be done if we have limits on gambling. Many people force themselves to gamble beyond their financial capabilities, so some people borrow money to gamble. , but of course they don't have a reason to take out the loan because they won't be able to get a loan if the reason is for gambling, of course they have other reasons when applying for a money loan. It's true what you said, if we chase luck then it will most likely only ruin our lives.

There are a lot of crazy things that are done when someone is heavily addicted to gambling, they tend to take actions that carry big risks, but they can do it with confidence and don't see the huge risks for themselves, including for their future. It's a shame that they dare to take risks on the wrong things, because if they take big risks, gambling will only destroy their lives, whether it's their health or their relationship with their family or partner.

Your friend did the incredible - he quit his uncontrollable gambling addiction. But it is important not to return to this world.
To avoid falling back into gambling addiction, it is important to remember a few things.

First, try to avoid situations where you might be tempted to start gambling again. For example, do not access casino sites or visit gaming establishments.

Secondly, it is important to take up other hobbies and hobbies to take your mind off thoughts of gambling. For example, you can play sports, learn new languages, or just read books.
And of course, it is important to have the support of loved ones and friends who can help in difficult moments. If you follow all this, there will be much less chance of returning to gambling.

The story about your friend sounds like he was deeply addicted to gambling. Gambling destroys deeply addicted people financially as evidenced by your friend. Gambling is a very attractive thing that if used for a long time a person becomes very vulnerable to it. And at that time they start taking various wrong decisions like exceeding the gambling limit, taking loans and gambling despite having no money in their pocket etc. Because of this, it is better to keep yourself under control and play limited gambling

The problem with gambling goes beyond responsibility and stopping. Understanding game addiction is key. People think they're in control because they set restrictions, but the house always wins. You think you're one bet away from a big win? Folks, this is fantasy.

The cycle of junkies seeking the next big hit is endless. After winning big, what happens? Because winning never feels good enough, they keep going. It's about the excitement and chase, not the number. Greed is the cause. It's a major issue for individuals and society. We see damaged families, lost wealth, and a hard-to-break addiction cycle.

What's more important than how much to stop is why start. If you want thrills, look elsewhere. Be clever and responsible - there are better ways to have fun than wasting money.

It is true that we gamblers will never know when we will get a lucky win and if we gamble just for fun then what you say is true, we will probably bet according to our desires and we only gamble when we are bored and have free time. it's free, so we can control when we want to gamble.
Yes, that's right, we can use the bad experiences experienced by other gamblers as lessons for us so that we don't experience the same thing, therefore we will be wiser and more careful so we can prevent and minimize it. quite a big loss by having good self-control.

When you playing gambling, you will not knows when your luck will comes and can only expects and hope that you can win. When we can knows that playing gambling is for having fun and no needs too long, we can used some money and always controlling our time and money so we will not face a big loss. That's the must thing that we always do in gambling to avoid the losses that many people already face. We can learn from the other experience so we can be wiser to act and we can prevent the bad things that can happens to us. Besides that, if we can prevent the bad things when we playing gambling, that means we can used gambling for having fun and enjoy the games. We will not chase the win or recover the losses.

Actually, sometimes chasing luck can lead a gambler to become addicted, but that applies to gamblers who have no responsibility.
But for gamblers who have big responsibilities and have self-limitations, they usually also chase luck but only with money they can afford to lose and know when is the right time to stop gambling.
If a gambler is addicted, usually they always have the belief that they will get lucky so they continue to gamble even every day, but what becomes very strange is when a gambling addict has the luck of winning a large amount, he will not stop betting but instead will continue betting and hope to get an even bigger win.
So the question is not about when is the big day but how many wins are considered lucky for an addict?
I believe that if you have ever seen an addict get a very big win but still keep betting and end up losing all the winnings and it becomes a madness for gambling addicts even though they will get $100,000, gambling addicts definitely think that this win is not worth the money they have lost before. .
Such is the danger of addiction which can always have bad impacts such as greed.

That's how it should be, we should not chase luck that we ourselves are not sure we will get, playing casino is of course an activity where we have to give up the money we have to place bets there, whether big or small depending on our own abilities and the result is losing and win.
Yes, the experience you gain will be a very valuable experience, especially for you, maybe with this incident in the future you will be wiser and more careful in every action you take, yes, by thinking carefully again you will reduce or even prevent it. happened again, right?

If you do keep yourself chasing up that one lucky day then you would really be able  to bust up yourself too easily. Play on the amount on which you can afford to lose and never ever make yourself that
spend up on the money on which you cant afford to lose. People do usually mess up their lives on the time that they would really be having those delusional approach towards gambling on which they dont even make themselves aware or wary on the things that do happen on which they cant really be able to make themselves that avoid into that potential disaster. If you dont make yourself
that be careful with your decisions then you do really end up on having that kind of miserable life because of too much expectation on something which cant happen.

There's this friend of mine who was into gambling. This guy was introduced to betting and got addicted to it for years, and at this level he has gone into virtual games. At some point, he could use all his money, borrow from others, and even use the one given to him by someone for important stuff. This went a long way for him, and his life was becoming miserable as time went on. But with the help of some punishment , self discipline and prayers, he was able to reduce it. And today he doesn't do virtual games. In all this, I noticed that there's this confidence he has that he will hit it big, if not today but one big day, and he will stop it with the money he will hit. 
My question was, When is this big day? Yes, you might be lucky one day, but when is that? Is there a guarantee for it? How long will you continue to do this for the big day? It's better to stop today than regret it. 

that's a good point
it may be easier for someone in a clear mind to see the mistakes and addictions someone else has but if you're inside a situation sometimes you can't see clearly
also important to consider the fact that some people are really bad at taking criticism and won't accept if you tell them something about their behavior or try to help somehow
many things in play here.

Addicts don't possess such luxury of self-examination; their thoughts are no longer in order as it was. Hence whatever goes through their brain has to be related to gambling and jackpots. Addicts also win, but careless on withdrawing, continuous gambling is a priority to addicts. They don't comply to any rules or strategies, an addict can go all in immediately he starts gambling. Playing for fun is out ruled in their jurisdictions. Funds are necessary to addicts, but not useful. The goal is to play further with whatever money they've got. Regardless of the aim for the money. An addict once said he slept in his car for 3 days, because he gambled with the money meant for gas. When the funds were sent to him by his parents, he wagered it all at once. And wasn't able to eat or purchase gas. This shows how gamblers are controlled emotionally, not to care for any other utility other than gambling.

Once the money is available the addict doesn't feel that he's made any mistake with his previous funds. Their consciousness arrives the moment, they've got no money left. And disappears immediately money arrives. Such problem gambling derails the future life expectations of the gambler and needs to be stopped. But this time not by the gambler. Like I said earlier, he's no longer under control. His impulses is clouded by gambling. All he thinks isn't right anymore. For instance, the man in the story, look what he did to his family. That's as a result of no adequate attention to his previous behaviors. I think that wasn't his first mistake or misdeed to the family. But they neglected it, because he's old. Every family with an addict shouldn't allow the player a breathing space of treatment. A therapist works fine in reshaping the gambler's thoughts to a better perspective.

Chasing luck. Well, most gamblers have the same reason why they keep on gambling. Although I don't believe much about luck. Maybe just 10 percent of what we do in gambling, especially in casino games relies on luck. It's all about how the system works and most of the time, it's leaning to the profits of the business and not on the users.

Preventing addiction is difficult because we always want to either chase our losses or become greedy and try to broaden the amount of profits that we make through gambling although we are already in profit. Just like today, I had the chance to cash out a parlay at x7 but I was so eager that I could win the last match and it will become x16. It failed and I lost everything. I regret that I didn't cash it out but that's what I am saying, we are greedy. We want that big payout and maybe withdraw afterward and enjoy the profits.

On those days I saw some people in my neighborhood behaving very aggressively, they wanted money, it was probably money to use drugs, drink alcohol and gamble. At that moment I was thinking about how in this life addiction is something very malicious, and a great evil that is destroying our society, something I noticed from those guys and because they sold most of their assets to support the addiction, they became people who can verbally and physically attack anyone they want if that person doesn't give them money, which makes them afraid to be close to them, afraid to say hello to them, afraid to live in the same neighborhood and street with them

Many thoughts of terror were going through my head after I saw them being violent for no reason, I already saw that their behavior was not good, they have been constantly fighting, but they limited themselves to fighting and humiliating themselves in the place where they spend their time consuming. alcohol and probably drugs and in that same place they are playing. but this time they consumed so much alcohol and drugs that they started insulting people in their homes, this made me think about how dangerous it is to live in a neighborhood where there are many people addicted to gambling, addicted to alcohol and addicted to drugs, the women when they are walking, they humiliate them, because they know that they will not fight back for fear of them being violent towards them, addiction is a great evil for our society

Your self-will and with the help of professional if you are deeply engage with gambling and the level of your addiction is something that can't be handled by just doing it on your own, but with the help of someone who understand your situation and have that broad knowlegde on how things should be working in order to reset everything.

If addiction already dominated inside you, there's a strong will that needs to be boost by proper care and proper adjustments, there's always a way if the person itself is willing to work his way to quit.

It's needed that you are willing to cooperate and you are willing to push your way to change up and stop whatever your practices and try resetting everything to turn back your usual state.

Well obviously all gamblers certainly want a victory that can be found in gambling, but sometimes the thought that wants to get the victory is encouraging us to things that are not desired, want to prove to ourselves and to others, but sometimes it actually trap ourselves. Many people have been trapped because of their own thoughts that are wrong in gambling, they often suffer great losses with their wrong thoughts. And with their wrong thoughts, of course, it will make them crazy about gambling such as excessive gambling or gambling addiction.

In my opinion all people who do gambling whether it's a slot gambling or sports betting, they may have felt a loss, because it is something that is certain, but it depends on us, the way we respond to it, how we respond to it, if we respond With the wrong it is likely that there will be even greater losses that can occur, but what must be done with the occurrence of losses is conscious, if that is sure to happen and does not question it not thinking about it, after all thinking about it hard will not be able to change the situation Being better, the number of gamblers who cannot accept their defeat tend to be addicted to gambling and gambling excessively.

A person who is addicted to gambling has a different mindset and understanding from normal people regarding what gambling is, one of the reasons is because from the beginning they only saw gambling in terms of profit or victory but never thought about or ignored the aspect of possible risks that clearly could never be separated from gambling activities, so with such a mindset it is clear that they will put their hopes and beliefs in winning which makes them always excessive in gambling and have difficulty stopping or even just taking a break.

As you said and it's true that we all need money because money is something that can make us able to survive longer, therefore the main problem in my opinion is that the gamblers who are now addicted at first they only see gambling from one side, namely from the possibility of winning, they think that gambling can solve financial problems or even make them rich instantly, when obviously that is a very wrong mindset.

It is a fact that gambling is always synonymous with the possibility of risk, we must understand that this is a business for casinos that will benefit them as a whole and not the gamblers, so it may not be uncommon to hear some advice that we are advised to make gambling an entertainment activity, because it is the best, And while it's true that having that point of view makes it less likely that we'll go overboard, one of the other reasons is that gambling is nothing more than a game of "probability" which only provides possibilities and not certainties which means you could end up with two possibilities at the end of the session between winning or losing, it's always unknowable.
