It's all on you that will play the big part if you really wanted to solve your gambling addictions,

There should be a trigger-man. A person that is already on a verge of being addicted can't control themselves. That's why they need help and not just we will ask them to stop. It's not that simple as it's now involved mental problem.

After that person is slowly taking over on their mind, the slow process to recovery will now begin as aside from the help of their closed ones, they can now help themselves too.
Some people been saying that it would be easy but the truth is that its never been easy as it sounds.There are indeed people who do really need help to get rid of addiction.

Not all people would have that strong self will on doing the right things this is why we do see different outcomes or situations on where people been facing.

Healing addiction is a slow process but if you do really mean it then you can actually quit if you wanted to.

This is something that many people underestimate, any kind of addiction is not going to be cured in a matter of days, an addiction is a problem that takes months or even years to develop and it is going to take that long to have any chance of being cured as well, and even then this is not something like an infection in which you can be declared cured after the agent creating the infection is eliminated, it is going to be a constant struggle that will last for a lifetime.
It’s like taking things slowly but seriously. When were serious in our goal we need to plan it smoothly, it’s hard to take away something we’d been doing for long same with addiction, it may cause other problem when we push it right away like mental breakdown or stress. As long as we keep ourselves motivated and reminded that we’re on a goal and help of people who matter to us, a small progress in staying away in addiction can be solved.

better than forcing yourself into something that last only for a while, addiction is a serious matter.
Similar with drug and alcohol, the system is already built inside you.

It's all on you that will play the big part if you really wanted to solve your gambling addictions,
slowly but seriously/surely far better than not progressing with your goals.

you have to admit to yourself that your engagement is no longer controllable, that's the  good
start in curing this kind of mental issue.

Addiction is something that cant really be removed in ones self in a short span of time or talking about instantly leaving it because as said that once you had been engaging on a particular thing for long time then your body is already get used to it.

You will surely be finding out ways to play or do it once again because you do eagerly wants to play and its true that if you are really serious on quitting

then you can eventually quit it up and make out self realizations and doesnt really need any service or help out  there.Its just matter on how serious you are on quitting or stopping gambling.

There will be no end to discussing this because the answer will be the same, professional help, family, closest / loved ones and also other people.
what they talk about is never really experienced, and all the advice given is good and helpful for gambling addicts.
basically all return to addicts must really want to heal and earnest intentions, and in that way using any means will definitely be useful and successful.
and everything that is suggested plays a role in curing a gambling addict depending on how and is taken seriously to help him.
Not all the same I guess, because not all countries have a good treatment of a compulsive person in gambling. The treatment on this will not quickly heal, it needs more time for the patient to be recovered and I guess it needs rehabilitation and yes, the guidance of a family members and with the care of professional doctors will I guess the best solution with the addiction.

That's why from the start we should open to our family whatever you gamble outside, so that there is someone who will always give advice if you are in a wrong path that will turn to addiction, they were a good help to us as a gambler.

I think all of the things you list at the beginning are only useful one the individual themselves has decided the gambling is a wasteful act to be avoided if they seek long term prosperity. There are very few professional gamblers out there, it is mainly reserved for the highest quality poker players or others who have mastered a niche such as sports betting. However the chances that the average person has the right skillset is the same as the amount of lottery winners out there - millions to one. Once people are educated to understand that the math is simply against them at all times, that has to be the point that they either see the futility and stop, or alternatively go down a deep rabbit hole of lying to themselves. I fear people in the second category have a much tougher and sometimes impossible road to recovery.

Yeah its true that this is a never ending kind of question and make out some common sense type of answers when it comes to this scenario.
When it comes to help then there were no other options left aside from help from family or professional one.
This cant really be precisely tell if it would be effective because not all would really be having that will and make out self realizations on their own.
If you do engage with gambling then expect that there would be some sort of connection in between this activity neither you do able to control
it or it would be the one would control you and gets addicted.So it all matters with self control and awareness.

Any intervention or rehab center that rehabilitates addiction is a good start because they cater a wide variety of addictions. Also, try to talk to the person first before anything else  because getting them by surprise is going to be a stupid thing to do because it will be against their will and they might resent you for the intervention.
The resentment is bad enough but that is not really the problem, people need to understand that the desire to get better needs to come from within the person that is addicted, as long as they think they are in control and that everything is fine and they can manage things on their own there is no way to help them, this is why the first step in almost any rehab center is for the addicted to admit they are  in fact addicted otherwise there is nothing anyone can do to help them.

Actually the main objective of the topic is not about those you answered but for the government to act and make this possible.
meaning at least not in our personal pocket as addicted gamblers but from our government as they are the one who allows the gambling to operate in our places .
if they restrict gambling then there is no chance that people will become addicted like what Most Muslim country does.

I think the first step to overcoming gambling addiction is to ask for help from the family, if it is still not resolved, then we can ask for help from
a rehab center. But the problem is that not all countries have rehab centers for people who are addicted to gambling, most rehab is available
for drug addicts. But basically how to overcome gambling and drug addiction in my opinion is not much different. So it is very possible to cure
gambling addiction in rehab for drugs. But we can also ask a psychiatrist for help. My friend once recovered from gambling addiction by asking
a psychiatrist for help.
If his country does not have a rehab center, visiting a psychiatrist will be the solution to solve his addiction to gambling. But his family will be the first help that he should ask to search for a fast solution before he visits the psychiatrist. It is really hard to cure the addicts because that needs an effort from him to solve it. Maybe curing gambling addiction is not hard as drug addiction, but it is still hard to do if the victim does not want to change his habit.

A rehab center for gambling addicts? I haven't even heard of such things. If you ask me, I don't think it would work. Gathering all gambling addicts under one roof isn't a good idea IMO. It's better for the addicts to stay home and take prescribed medications while being supported by their families. That's when the support from family members counts big time btw.
Maybe in the other country, the name of that rehabilitation will be different. Still, I think the country will have rehabilitation for the addicts and use different methods to cure the addicted person. Of course, prescribed medications will be necessary and needed. Still, if the addicted person can talk heart by heart to other people, especially to the psychiatrist, that would help them figure out why they become addicted. It needs an open mind from the addicted person to know how they can live like other people without becoming addicted to gambling.

Solving the problem of gambling addiction is always better with the help of others than alone, but I wouldn't advise family, or close friends, over professional help. Your close ones can help you with finding a good doctor, and they can be supporting during the process of healing, and that's the best they can do. They cannot replace professional help.
Why you say so that they cant help or wont be that relevant? Professional help is indeed better but doesnt men that friends help wont be helpful at all. ~

I'm only saying that they can't replace professional help(unless they are professionals themselves, of course). Other than that, they can be extremely helpful because addicted gamblers don't actually want to go to doctors, in many cases, and that's when the close ones can help with convincing the addict to request professional assistance. And then their support during the medical treatment is very important too. I would never say that support from the closest people is irrelevant. You just got me wrong, buddy.

~
Nah man, get professional help. No matter how much we say about talking to family and friends could help and whatnot, it isn't the best solution. Opinions of families and friends may even actually opt to make the situation worse. Any gambling addict would only receive two types of words, one, talking bad about them being an addict and that they should stop, two, pitying them or indulging them into pitying their family and telling them to change and trust me, neither of the two is actually helpful sometimes. It just makes it worse since they keep looking at the addict from their POV, not the other way around. Don't take the easy solution, take the one that could actually help instead.

I agree. It's never easy to admit that even your loved ones can't help you to solve the main problem, and you need a professional help, but sometimes it's the only solution.

There are a huge number of players who are or have been addicted to gambling. We have to be realistic: some will never get rid of it or want to get rid of it. The more you think you're rid of it, the harder you often fall. You could share your experiences with fellow sufferers who have undergone exactly the same. The most important thing is acceptance that you are addicted, online you can also come into contact with many people who can guide or support you. to turn gambling into a hobby often does not end well and you fall into an addiction again. There are organizations who aim to help you to get rid of the addiction.
They can get rid of it no matter what happens or how long it takes.

There's just have to be a worst experience and situation that gambler has to be for them to realize what have they done. It's going to be not that easy but I'm sure that everyone will be able to get rid of their addiction.

But it all lies to the strategy how they'll do it.

That will depend on where that person lives because not all countries have that rehab centre, especially for addicts to gambling, but maybe the government will have a drug rehab centre. If the addicted person to gambling can not find that rehab centre, they need to figure out how to solve the addicting problem. Before they search for that place, it is better to tell other people and share what they feel, and who knows, that he knows some places that can help that person.

I think being a gambling addicted and having difficult to control personal finances due to this addiction is one thing, but stealing money from others to gamble is different and much more serious on my opinion. By doing this the person isn't harming himself only, but causing prejudice to third parties. It's the same as the drugs addicted that steals or kills to maintain his addiction.
When the situation reaches to an extreme like this only treatment isn't enough. Besides it, a punishment is also needed, otherwise the person will never learn how to respect others. As we live in society people must respect each other, doesn't matter if they want or if they have any kind of issue on their private life.
The punishment those people will suffer can come in many forms, obviously one of them could be in the form of spending some time in jail if they happen to steal from strangers, however if they happen to steal from their family it is unlikely the family would like to file charges against them but what will happen is that eventually the family members of the one that is addicted will lose any confidence they have in them to the point they will begin to reject the addicted gambler and leave him alone.
It's true, usually when the robbery happens against a family member there won't be any police reports, because the families tend to protect its members, even when they do terrible things. Somehow that is why there are so many people doing wrongdoings nowadays, because they know there will be always someone willing to defend them.
In past times families were much more severe with their children. Cases like this were severely punished with expulsion from home and disinheritance sometimes. And I believe it worked, creating a generation of more responsible and polite people.

Yes, I believe you. The process won't be that easy but if it's mendable at first try with the help of the family or so then that's good because it is an easy solution for the affected person.
I agree to you that as early as you can if the gambler needs to seek professional help, then the family must support that decision because it's the best option. I'm just saying if it's possible to get some help and it will be cured with the help of them then that's a good alternative.
Nah man, get professional help. No matter how much we say about talking to family and friends could help and whatnot, it isn't the best solution.

Without the support of your family, you'll dropping the ball and will totally feel bad about it already. I do agree to all of you about getting professional help and there's no debate on it.
The acceptance and help from the family is also important specially if you know that they're there to support you and help you along your way getting out of it.

I think in this digital era seeking help will be easy if the addict wants to share his story about gambling addiction itself, at least if they share their story and ask for help from anyone then of course it will get a good response. A person who will return to the path of goodness will definitely get a good response too and therefore, this case returns to itself whether they are ready to share or will they just be kept to themselves and after all they will always have their own way too if they have strong determination, Why not.
