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.

Correct.

If you guys had watched "The Platform" which is a "rehabilitation" center, they also talk to the people about their addiction, if they really wanted to be in the platform and will be released after a certain period amount of time, but however, it's more than that. I think that's the very effective way of curing addiction, I mean, limiting their sources to avoid getting contact with their addiction, to slowly remove it on their habit and replace it with something more helpful and will not cause any problems to them.

covid19 should have been a good help for them for it's not allowed to go out and casinos are closed. Some find their way to do it online, however. addiction could take a long time to be out of the system, it's like an old habit.

but if another habit comes in, it will be replaced by another. this another habit should be programmed to be a good habit like raising chickens on the farm, fishing, trading cryptocurrency or porn. Cheesy

That's the problem, the online world made gambling much more accessible and obvious during the pandemic. The only way to destroy old habits if you compare it to addiction is if you try to break it little by little, don't go full on, try to take it easy and gradually you will see the difference. I don't think porn is a good habit, makes you expect unrealistic things in your relationship.

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 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.

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. 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.

That's a fact but having a support and acceptance from your family and relatives or close friends, that will help you win against addiction. I agree about getting a professional help but if you can mend that with the help and support of your family, I think that's also fine.
But if it's already to the point of insanity with addiction then that's really need to seek a professional or if you can avail that even if you're not at that state then that's good.

Curing gambling addiction is a long process and needs professional help. Trust me, the process isn't easy. Surely, your family would always support this process, but your family alone cannot help you overcome the addiction. Not unless If you have a family of psychologist or have a business/job in a psychiatric field.
The earlier you seek professional help, the better chances for a gambling addict to overcome the addiction in a short period of time.

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.

Correct, the support of the family could be enough if a person still has not developed a gambling addiction but once this is the case then it is necessary to bring professionals as the temptation to gamble again will be constant, back in the day when online gambling was not a thing it was more than enough to just avoid places like casinos and you will be fine, but now that online gambling is a thing then you can gamble everywhere you are as long as you have a device with Internet access, so the techniques professionals need to teach to addicted gamblers need to be more effective in order for those that are addicted to resist the temptation to gamble again.

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.

Solving problem alone is rather be the first to be tried out rather than on seeking out for another help from loved ones or professional.
Self realizations is much more effect and doesnt only talks in terms of financial concern but also wont really be requiring too much effort
or not really hassle at all.

If you do find out yourself to be that impulsive or emotion towards gambling then better to avoid it out while its still early or dont make yourself get
attached to it.

Aside from professional help, your loved ones or family will care more than anyone else.
simple example, if you are sick or something harms you or suffers, who will take care, wait and give you good advice, whether someone else.
families will care more and try so that their family members do not suffer, especially parents and they know better what to do for their children even though it is wrong.
So, I think the people we love and also love us will care more about us if we are suffering and whatever.

Before getting in touch with those peer support groups and organizations, let your loved ones know about your problem. Things are going to be easier when you talk to them about your issue. Don't hide it from them. Nothing to be ashamed of. They will support you and you journey to get rid of your gambling addiction is going to become very much easier than it would be. First step is self realization, second steps is to talk to someone you trust about it and the final step is to get professional help. This is how it should be.

If they can do that, they will see that their family can help them solve the addiction gambling problem.
I agree that self-realization will be something that addicted gambling should have because with having that feeling, he will know how bigger his addiction is and think about how he can solve the addiction.
With the help from his family, maybe that can make it easier to find a professional or psychiatric or addiction health centre to help that addicted gambler because his family can do anything to help him solve the addiction.
It is better to take honestly to your family about your addiction than to solve your problem alone.

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.

This kind of issue is really serious its better to take medical action especially with the mental health of the person they cannot make a good decision making due to having the urge to get gambling this is the reason why we are always saying to gamble moderately always choose the best for your side not only for the satisfaction of your self. By this kind of situation these people need to seek of an attention of some relatives and friends to guide them until they can back to normal.

Should be in order.

1. Seek help into your loved ones like family and relative.
2. Professional help

But honestly yourself realization would be the fastest treatment of all.If you don't like problems then better avoid gambling if you are a person which does have
impulsive or way too emotional on dealing with it because risk of addiction is high so better avoid it.

Self realization will help.

But it won't be the answer to solve to one's addiction. If it's already that far from the normal addiction, those 2 that you have listed really has to be there for them to get some help.

A family that will show you love and support will be the best and most natural way of conquering addiction. But it's a good combination with the help of a professional.

Actually only the minor parcel of gamblers will act insanely like this. This fact indicates the problem isn't gambling activity itself, but the addicted individual. There are people who have a tendency to become addicted and if it's not going to happen through gambling, it will be through alcohol, drugs, compulsive buying or something else. By turning gambling into illegal practice, governments and religions aren't saving people from addiction at all.
In order to save people from addiction, the society would need to cancel capitalism and tie each person to a chain, so they could be controlled 24 hours daily. However it looks more insane than the own addiction, right?

Freedom has a cost and the cost is that we are completely responsible for our actions and the consequences we face out of it, those people that blame external factors are just using a convenient excuse to try to make it seem that what happens on their life is not their fault, addicted gamblers are widely known for this and unfortunately governments believe them and this is why gambling is forbidden in many countries, but the ones responsible for this are the addicted gamblers as they would have gotten addicted to something else anyway if gambling was illegal.

The truth is that the first step must come from you. You have to become aware that you are addicted to something and that you can call for help. The sooner you become aware of this the better it will be for you, your recovery and your family.
It seems that the memory of the first win also has a great influence on the overkill people have for gambling. People who gamble habitually tend to remember exactly when they first won and the feeling of victory they experienced.
It is there that we must start again, from the sense of frustration that was felt after that victory, for all the occasions in which, instead, you have lost a lot of money. It is there that the discomfort, the malaise and the addiction to gambling should be sought.
It is therefore good to leave aside the nostalgia of victory and focus, instead, on the effects that gambling has produced on one's life. It is necessary to get rid of gambling before it is too late and to do so, it is necessary to forget about that distant day when you won, move away from it and try to start again to eliminate this bad addiction from your life.
