You're the only one who can help yourself if you become addicted to gambling. We can provide advice like find something else to spend your time so you forget gambling or think that gambling is not good for you at all so you must avoid gambling. Even though there are thousand of people that tell you to stop gambling but you continue to play, other people's advice are all non-sense. Help yourself in your own natural ways by pushing yourself to stop gambling.

We are just human and we need the help of others during this difficult time so don't hesitate to ask for some help from your friends and your family, I believe those are the people that is very close to you can help you out of that gambling addiction. You can also make yourself busy to Church activities, I'm sure God will also help you, you just need to seek for his help. Anyway, most of the gambling site have already a supported site for the gambling addiction, there's a responsible gambling if you need a professional help, you can go to them.

I have heard and even seen shows on television about phobia to animals or other types that can be cured through suggestion, whether it is real or not. Maybe a way of giving suggestions can also be done to gambling addicts so they can leave the habit, but this is done if you are 100% sure you want to stop gambling.

Giving suggestions can be tried for that gambler, but that will need a professional who really knows how to do that because that needs to enter his subconscious, which not all people can do. It is like reprogram our minds not to think or do not know anything about gambling, and our minds will tell us to stay away from gambling. Maybe that can work, but still, that needs an effort from the gambler to stop his gambling habit and he needs to have someone or his family beside him.

When trying to compare it on treating phobia then it would be still on 50-50% chance because not all would really be able to cope up with their own fear into particular
thing and also addiction isnt something comparable to it so its a bit off that you would really be comparing it with gambling addiction into some sort of phobia.
Nothingless, everything can be stopped out on ones will or self control or discipline, if they are really eager on stopping anything according to their likes
then they can really do it.

Oh man, I have a good story how it often going in private "clinics". One important moment, that such clinics are universal: they helping to gambling addicted, drug addicted and so on.

So: you're arrive into such "clinic", out of the city in private area. The house and near territory is fenced so you can't run away. At least if you can jump over 3 meters. They rid off your smartphone and other personal stuff. And it where it all started: Day after day you doing only few things. In the morning you clean up territory outside the house. After that you're going to talk about your problems and addiction with other patients in so-called "Alcoholics Anonymous" circle. And after that you're going into your "spartan-style" room and just sitting. This is not a joke: there is nothing to do. No books, no games, NOTHING. It looks like some kind of mental torture.

3 months in "clinic" looks like thousand years in the Hell. In the end you will never play any gambling games again, mostly because of animal fear to get back to this place.

I stand with Ukraine.

Judguing by the article, this girl, Danielle, isn't a common gambling addict, as we know them. That's why I find her case the most interesting one. She's not trying to earn a lot of money with gambling. Neither she is a healthy gambler doing gambling just for the fun of it. "I was in a bad place and it filled an emptiness in my life. People assume everyone does it to win money or for the excitement, but it stopped me feeling lonely and anxious." - she said.

The thing is that this emptiness can be filled with much more dangerous things than gamnling, things like drug addiction, criminal activity, joining a radical religious sect etc.

Gambling addiction is a bad thing, no doubt about that, but I want to emphasize that it is only one of those bad things that can happen to anyone when there's this emptiness in their life, and actually it's this emptiness is what should be fought first of all.

There are a lot of groups in this day and age that offer help regarding gambling addiction, I am pretty sure that a simple Internet search is going to yield you millions of results, just make the parameters specific to your country since the search engine might be confused and give results about groups in the international level.

I believe the best solution to gambling addiction is to get rehab, there should be interaction from gamblers to professionals who would help them, not by seeking online advice only since even though they have the information on what to do, if they are not interested in doing it, it will still not help them.

Some gamblers are afraid to go to rehab because they are afraid to be discriminated by the society. Plus, it would also need the family's support of that addicted gambler for him to go on those institutions or specialists. Most often an addicted gambler just goes broke and ruins his life because his family is not willing to help him. That is why I admire people who are willing to help these types of people, they are also good at giving advice that they will even help you to go to those rehabs.

What actually makes people addicted to things like games, sugar, drugs, etc is the fun/happiness they derive from them especially when they are sad. So, you need to make sure customers don't get addicted to your products/services by making them less flashy, less sweet, lessen the prize money (so they don't get attached to it) etc. The world is full of addicts who are addicted to movies, foods, games, money, flashy things, etc.

Important Tips for Betting Sites and other Businesses on the addiction issues:
Make your products/services safe and beneficial to customers. Better to have people addicted to very beneficial games,, foods, movies than have them addicted to dangerous ones. Make them good/safe and beneficial just incase your customers get addicted, the products and services will help them to be useful to their societies and themselves.

Also remember to promote Safe Bet

It would always be best to seek medical attention from a trained professional first and foremost before you go around medicating yourself. Not only will you get better advices, you'd also be assisted in recoveringfrom the addiction you succumbed into. Furthermore, some anti-depression medications would require a doctor's recommendation before you can even buy them, so you would really need to consult a professional firs.t

Maybe before he can find medical attention from a trained professional, he can ask for help from people who closest to him to join with him to search for a psychologist. He can feel hard to find that professional and maybe he will not visit that professional.

I am sure that he will have a chance to solve his addiction with help from the psychologist, especially if he follows every step from the doctor. It will have a big opportunity to cure his addiction if he gets support from the closest person because that is the important thing he can get from them.

There are drug treatment clinics in my country and they can provide therapeutic assistance to a person suffering from gambling addiction.

Aren't they more like antidepressants or something of the sort? I'd honestly think that taking a walk, having some fresh air or having a vacation of sorts is a lot better than drugs. Idk, it just makes it feel more like, the one under medication is in need of a LOT of help instead of having that free mindset of calmness you get when having a breather. Like instead of letting go of what strangles you, it instead just lets you go for a moment before strangling back with stronger momentum/force.

It depends, I really think those kind of medicines have their reason to be especially if they are used during the short term, the problem is that many doctors give those drugs to their patients for years and that is when it becomes a problem because we know of all the undesired effects drugs like that have on the body, that is why people need to learn to do the things you describe, however those drugs can be effective at the beginning of the treatment to treat gambling addiction as many gamblers that have indebted themselves to the point it is very difficult to pay their debts have suicidal thoughts.

You can easily search on Google which places you can check out to seek help against gambling addiction and I did some search which is limited to my country and there is a lot of intervention groups that can help.

True that not all would really be having the access due to country locations and not all of the places which does have correspond professional help or services something like
this which means not all would really be catered out with this kind of help.Therefore the best thing to be done is to help out yourself first before asking out some help
in others like your loved one or any other services out there that do cater out gambling addiction.This is a kind of problem on where someone cant easily
get rid off.

It's good if there are dedicated hotlines for gambling addictions on a country, though if there isn't one available, intervention from medical professionals such as psychiatrists would go a long way in helping people already addicted to gambling. Turning oneself in is difficult, especially if they are still in denial of their condition and are shrugging it off thinking that they are still 'normal' despite their obvious behavior of being hooked to a certain game. It's a case-by-case basis, so you can't really know for certain whether an individual is already deep into the addiction or not.

There is a scenario where gambling is illegal in your country and if you are suffering from gambling addiction then you can neither tell anyone nor you can visit a psychiatrist because you will behind the bars very quickly.

Most of the gamblers are underage and students which makes it really challenging for them to inform their parents and some don't even realize they are suffering from such a problem. I relate gambling addiction very closely to drug addiction where you don't know what you are doing and the moment you realize it is either too late or you have done too much damage to ever recover.

I am not saying one cannot recover but it depends on the individual, damage done and one's self-confidence to come out of it.

I doubt a pure gambling addict is reading here at Bitcointalk. They don't want this advice stuffs.

But the topic is more helpful for people that want to help others to overcome their addiction. Since these gamblers will not read this kind of stuff, we, as a gambler that still in control will help those struggling ones.

The goal is to minimize their gambling addiction, not to advise them to stop gambling right away as there's a process for it. It's hard for these gamblers to just stop completely as it needs time for them to adjust to a lifestyle that they never used to.

i doubt so too. if he's here he'd be tempted to click my signature link to roll a dice before he can try reading any advice. but if it's OP that is already addicted, he might really read the advice posted in this thread.

he'd rather be reading the advice in the forum than going to a nuthouse and jail himself. it just really need the diversion of the attention from gambling to a hobby of the past.

The story about the girl is definitely unsettling. I hope that nobody finds themselves in such a situation and if they do that they would be brave enough to ask for help. As for getting help, I'm not sure if it's enough to just subscribe to one of these services. The first step must be accepting your addiction and be willing to stay away from gambling. Still, not being able to access gambling sites is probably helpful to some extent.

I hope these links will help someone who needs support. Don't give up!

Should be the right or initial thing that you would mind off is about self-realization and if you do really mean on quitting gambling then you should do it and dont tend to get involved into more gambling activity further.

Try to avoid all of the ways or things connected to it and you would slowly heal up on the process.Its up actually on someones self discipline and control because if you do really mean to quit then you can actually
do it.

Even though there are still instances that we cant really help out ourself too get away with addiction.
