2. List all things that were affected by gambling - if you can see all the things that were affected because of gambling then you may realize that it has no goods to give you, then I hope that it makes you think to stop gambling.

I highly agree with this,

Realization is what really helps up on how to wake up or recover from being addicted to gambling, especially if you lose too much. Seeing how it affects your life financially and emotionally will make you change and start to avoid gambling little by little.
The realization of being addicted to gambling is necessary but it is not everything, there are many people out there that know they have a problem and yet they keep gambling, after that the most important thing is the will to change and to look for help, unfortunately as we know many of those that are addicted to gambling are predisposed to this due to their personalities so many of them will become addicted once again as they do not know how to live their lives without gambling anymore.

I think we can use the words committed and motivated. At the moment the gambler already realized he is a compulsive gambler, nothing's changed. He can still continue gambling. I think the compulsive gambler should come to a point where he is already committed and motivated to change. He already understand the damage he have done to his family. This is the time they will ask for help, and sure, some will fail, but as long as they are committed and motivated to change. They will always try stop. It will be a long process, temptations will always get them, but the motivation to stop should always come back.

I agree that one of the ways to recover from addiction is by getting a new habit or activity to make the addict busy. But you know, it is not applicable to all addicts. In a serious case (severe addition), he needs an expert or professional health treatment besides supports from family members and friends. To change the gambling habit isn't as easy as you think. He needs special treatment and must be handled by a specialist. Also, this will take time to recover his mindset and grow his self-control.

The simple thing is if you want to quit gambling addiction, I think it's enough to just focus on the intention or desire to stop gambling, because if someone has become an addict, at least any advice given is difficult to make them change their mindset. So, something that they can recover from gambling addiction is themselves but indeed, at least other people around will also slowly influence it for a change.
According to me if a person wants to get away from gambling then he should get indulged in different activities that don't remind him of gambling. As he won't be remembering gambling then he won't be getting an urge to gamble and also that if he is suffering from an addiction then he can't just stop in a single day, it's a gradual process that takes time and many people aren't patient enough to do so.
Same ideas to me, you dont need a threatment you just need to be descipline from what you are doing. Make your mind busy by doing other helpful things like have a daily routine of exercise sports or even doing household. The problem about the addiction is you are enjoying doing it and in long term if you continue use to it it will become addiction.

Nice post mate, this will be very helpful for gamblers addict, I know most of the gamblers want to change their lifestyle, they want to do some productive things compared to gambling but do not know how to start. Well doing it will require time and determination, removing your addiction should have step by step, if you are playing everyday then, you should limit yourself from betting, atleast play alternate days, play now, stop tomorrow, because if you stop it so quick than it will not work.

You may also use the tips stated by the OP, you may focus on your family, spending time with your family is happier compared to gambling.

It finds myself very hard when you are in that stage (addiction) to get out from the hell. And the one thing that could help to heal that addiction to work for another stuff in order to have no time to go to the casino but rather to spend on our job. But fo course, it can't be an instant...The healing process may take for a while until we finally control ourselves from being addicted.

As far as I know, one of the rather useful and effective methods is to plan your day in such a way that there would be no free time in it.
Thus, you will always be busy with something, and will not fall into obsessive states because of boredom, which is quite difficult to fight when you are addicted.
That is what I want, becoming busy will help to be out from thinking about it. I believe this addiction will stop if we want a change but those who don't, they'll be dying to be like that.

And I believe what finaleshot2016 said...our family advice is a big influence and could certainly giving us help in order to stop this kind of mindset. This is not a drug addiction that is really hard to find a cure.

I think the 4th point will be the most effective solution. because points 1-3 will not be useful if someone's psychic is still disturbed by gambling addiction. I have a friend whose life only thinks of gambling. even when he hung out with friends he always cheered about gamblers. because according to him gambling is a part of his life.
If the level of addiction is really high, it's best to have someone who have a broad knowledge in terms of mental disorders, this level of addictions
already needs to cater by professional experts. The balance should be returned both mentality and physically, if there's supplements that needed to
be taken in order to lessen the minds of those addicted gamblers to think more about gambling it will be discuss by experts who understand well
about this problem.

You must know there are some drugs that can help you to fight your gambling addiction. I don't remember their exact names but serotonin reuptake inhibitors, opioid antagonists, and mood stabilizers are used for that.
Drugs have side effects on your health right? Tho, it's a great use to avoid compulsive gambling.
Here are the possible outcomes of those drugs:

  • dizziness, loss of coordination, fatigue, tingling, burning, blurred vision, insomnia, and vivid dreams.

The best solution is to ask for help on your family, they're the ones that might help and give you a lot of attention so you can get over on gambling addiction. Sooner or later, you'll realize the main problem and will understand the situation you're facing. Antidepressants are also applicable but should be taken moderately to avoid side effects.

If you are addicted on gambling its really bad for your mental and physical health. so, you need to recover yourself from it as soon as possible. The first thing you need to do quit gambling is to prepare yourself mentally then you can go hangout with friends, it will keep you away from gambling. Again, if you have enough money, you can go for a tour. Trust me, if you are starting to travel in different sights then you will forget to play gambling. 
I agree but there is a small difference between the poor and rich gamblers. The poverty leads to gamble with the last cent and healing process will slow down if the person has no interest to go outside due to the lack of money. Rich gamblers don't care about the amount of loss, and they can throw away the stress in the parties. No fair conditions for every gamble addicted.

   Danslip I think that difference between poor and rich gamblers is very big, huge! Not just in gambling way, in many other ways too.
About one more thing you are wrong, rich gamblers and poor gamblers goes to different casinos, so rich person goes in casino where
stakes are high, poor people are going to a casino where stakes are low. If you play with huge money you can lose all that money in
day if you are playing with very high stakes.

I think the solution to addiction is to isolate the addict in some home for addicts where there are specialist doctors on the subject. The addict needs to spend some time with other people who are addicted and talk to these people and medical experts on the subject. just like that it is possible to make a good treatment to leave the addiction. I know that a lot of people here talked about family and friends, but is it really that they already had an addict at home? as much as it hurts to say it, the best help that family and friends can do Is have the courage to put the addict in some rehab home for addicts

I agree from what you've said, but let me add a bit. Yes, it's needed for those addicted in gambling to be put inside a rehabilitation center for treatments, medications, and counselling especially those who are hardcore addicted to it. However, they must address it slowly. The gambling addict must first willing to recover and already accepted his condition that he needs help from other people. Otherwise, he/she will not totally recover.

The encouragement and moral support from their loved ones matter too to boost their willingness to recover. Then that's the proper time for them to go to rehabilitation facilities to talk and be medicated by the experts. It's also true that it will be beneficial for them to talk to other patients undergoing treatment for addiction whether it's the same case or not, so they could get an insight and learn a lesson or two that could also motivate them to quit and surpass their addiction.

I agree! Those would be the steps a gambling addict needs to begin a frank recovery. Self-control is also the most important of all the measures that will be learned to improve their quality of life and those of their loved ones.
I have heard that gambling addictions are due to many factors as well as deficiencies that the individual tries to fill with gambling addiction.
Having no self-control whether you are following a good certain guides, you will not conquer yourself and it won't help you. You can agree to what the list is saying but during the applications, you'll find it hard to conquer the addiction. The help must start from you, from within, because all of that advice, you just have to follow but if you keep on doing nothing and you are losing your control. Those tips are useless and not helpful to you.

I want to help those people who really abused by the gambling, let me list down all possible solution that they may use to recover from being addicted in gambling.
<...>

Very accurate. Addicted people are always having a hard time to cure their addiction, because they are abusing themselves by continuously getting addicted because they thought that it is the cure, but they are wrong. If they will continue to tolerate their urge to gamble, then they will not have the opportunity to rethink and reconsider things or advices from their friends to help them from their addiction.

Cooperation is the key to achieve their goal to eradicate their addiction in gambling, even in other fields of addiction as well.
Cooperation with self will are the best tools to eliminate this addiction inside your mindset, if you are fully willing to quit away it's not hard for you
to recover. There are people who manage to move out from this problem not because of any help but first the will to quit should be the first thing
then additions of those love coming from caring relatives and friends.

True, help yourself to fight against this addiction. Gambling addiction is manageable unlike other addictions. If one wants to recover from being addict he or she should follow some steps that will help him or her completely to quit gambling and fight being addict. Here are some tips I have, first is to talk to your family. Tell them that you have a problem with your unhealthy gambling and became addicted to it. Second, limit your money, it is very important that you have money management to start with. This will help you to lessen losses. Also, have self-discipline and self-control also try to minimize going on physical or online casinos. Try to think other activities that will help you to get your mind out of gambling even for a while, trust me a little steps counts as big help. If you still not satisfied for the outcome better seek for a counseling or support session these will help you to build self-destructive patterns and addresses some issues you still have on gambling. Medication might help you for mental health condition or disorders. Lastly, change your lifestyle. A great recovery become successful if you help yourself and focus on your purpose.
