Beginner's luck is really a curse, huh.
You should NEVER, ever treat gambling as a way to get rich quick. If that was the case, then wouldn't everyone be billionaires by now and casinos would all be broke? Once you truly realise that there will be no prospect of addiction.
The casino that you play on operates a game that is mathematically skewed towards their favour and there is nothing that you can do to possibly change that. If you want a long term way to "gamble" with positive EV, either look into arbitrage betting, or invest in the bankroll of a casino.

There must be continuity and cooperation from the person itself, the closest people, treatment, and various other factors. Must begin with strong desires and intentions to stop and regardless of gambling addiction.Furthermore, there must be honesty from him to be delivered to the nearest person or who helped him in this matter, because it began with honesty that Treatment would be easier to do.
Next is there must be support from the closest people, at least the person he loves and he believes. Then, there is a special treatment of experts so that the process can really take place well and right. And there are also factors from their environment.
That's why I say if there needs to be good cooperation and sustainability of all.

Until and unless our mind isn't prepared to have control over our activities, even on getting medication nothing is gonna change. You've felt the bade about addiction, and now it is your time to have control or quit gambling. As suggested think about each and every loved ones who are ready to support you on all hurdles of life. Move away and make an alternate way to spend your time.
Well said. Control on our mind is absolutely necessary to quit any habit. The mind controls our body and if we develop the ability to control our mind we can easily quit any addiction.Mental peace is received if we meditate regularly. Mental peace can help anyone to have a control on his mind.
A person needs to have a lot of patience if he wants quit a habit. Here, to quit gambling, my best advice would be to cut down internet and spend more time with family members.
And besides that it is best to get closer to the creator and do what He commands and stay away from what is forbidden as best as possible, and do positive activities such as following religious activities and so on that can change you for the better. that way you will recover from addiction.
I agree that the effective way to overcome gambling addiction must be from ourselves, because a strong will and intention to recover from
gambling is indeed the first step to recovering from gambling addiction. It can be started by changing our lifestyle, which is followed
by increasing positive activities. That way we can live a more productive life, because gambling no longer interferes with us doing other activities.
We must be able to limit ourselves when gambling, so that we play gambling appropriately and not excessively.

Oh, I see, you meant they were not supportive, and pessimistic about his ability to quit. That's actually not that bad. Much better than being encouraged to gamble, or being ignored at all.
Understood.
When I read some dudes posts where they tells that spent 10-20 % of the income on gambling - i'm sure that they have such kind of family
Yeah, that, or they are addicted gamblers and hide everything gambling related from their close ones. This is a common case too, unfortunately.
People, especially your close ones, often say "You will never succeed" actually hoping that you will.
Maybe you have a point here. But sometimes they just don't care.
Anyway, as i said above, really good family will force you to go to specialists.
That's the best option possible. Hopefully - to real doctors, not some Voodoo specialists tho.
~ A friend of mine has the same case. His parents are addicted to drugs that they weren't able to work to sustain his studies but he made a different path by making studying possible on his own. He didn't try drugs even once. It still depends on an individual. We could change our future by creating a better path. Gambling addiction couldn't be cured easily yet we can take small steps to correct our actions.
I'm not personally acquainted with such people, but I'm sure there are many families with so called "professional" gamblers inside. All they do, they lose money, and their kids don't want to be like them, fortunately.

You need help to stop gambling but you are not willing to help yourself.I think the first help you can actually seek is to help yourself.Self realizations is the most important step to take while seeking help.It is after you have realised yourself and decide to quit gambling that you will also be willing to accept help from outside.
I believe he needs help because he can't control it and it's affecting his life. I'm not addicted to anything, but I believe it's similar to a computer or mobile game where we get hooked and can't stop thinking about it whether we're in bed or out of place, but it's just a hypothetical example. Those professionals are the ones who are most likely to assist you, but I believe it is costly, but it is acceptable because it will improve your situation.

Indeed. We know that to quit gambling needs big effort from ourselves and build a new habit that does not have any relation with sports and gambling so we can try hard to stay away from gambling. And with help from the specialist and of course, our family, that will not feel too hard as when the family take involve with our problem, they will help us more than the other people. If someone is addicted to gambling and his family sees that, maybe that is a call for his family to help him quickly before he got something worst that they can not imagine. If they can help them, no matter how sweet temptations from gambling, that person can get out from gambling because he will realize that he still has a second chance to have a better life.
True, actually every person has their chance to stop the addiction. But further, the other difficult thing is also the challenge of maintaining not to gamble again.
Let's say that we have been able to stop gambling for several months, maintaining not to gamble in these months may not be easy. And then, it may be difficult enough for the next months again, some people or advertisements may shake our ways to stop gambling
That is why it is very important to really ensure ourselves, to strengthen ourselves not to being addicted again.
It is a matter of on how a certain individual would really be that serious on quitting on what he do currently experiencing.If on the time that you cant help yourself already then thats the time you would
really need the help of your loved ones or professional help which would really be needed on your addiction treatment but before you do consider this option then always be mindful on quitting yourself first.

That's it.The supports from people around (closed family, friends,s or people) will really help those who want to stop and out of the addiction.
And the environment will also give the influence. Moreover, if they are still living in an environment with high gambling activities, it may be difficult. that is why sometimes, it needs to sacrifice a few things, including staying away in advance of the environment like that (or away for a long time). Because it will be very difficult when we are still in such an environment to really stop.
With a variety of support and attention from people around loved and trustworthy, with the help of special treatment, and a new environment that might be more conducive and not causing these addicts again, this might be better.

Do not search anywhere. Its you are the only one who can yourself. The moment we realize that we are much addicted to something and we have to get out of it, then yes and thats the moment of change. Many can advice or give counselling. Unless and until the advice is taken inside and worked upon, nothing will change. Get advice where you will get ideas to eradicate the addiction thoughts.
Yes the changes should start to ourselves and we must have willingness in order to do it because even our family and some institution help us to overcome the addiction but the gambler itself is not cooperating then nothing will happen. Thus before seeking for a professional help, its a must that you're also determine to change what you used to, its not going to be easy but you can do it slowly. August 07, 2021, 10:08:50 PM
Nah, I will not say it is easy to quit gambling, especially if we do not realize that we really addicted to gambling because it is hard to stop playing gambling for just one day. We really need other people to help us solve the gambling addiction problem because they can ask us to do something else that can block our minds from thinking about gambling. If we can follow their suggestion to do something else, slowly we can stop gambling and maybe we do not need too long to leave gambling and in the end, we can solve our addiction to a gambling problem. If our family really loves and cares for us, they will see something wrong happen to us and they will help us immediately by taking us to the professional.
I believe that it will be very difficult to quit gambling without any very strong conditions and also force or special treatment from specialists. Moreover, it is about addiction, it may be worse than what we are thinking.Sometimes, we commonly stare at the very usual people who like and hobby gambling. But in fact, some of these people in addicted and feel so stressed about his condition, but cannot stop gambling even once time.
every time going to quit, there will be another sweet temptation that always makes his intention to stop being shaky.
Moreover, if he still lives in that environment.

It really depends on the person's attitude towards what he sees and how he'll take action from that situation. And that's happening for those people that are gambling, some can't control themselves but there are responsible gamblers that knows what they do and their limitations. So sad to see those that cannot control themselves because they really have no option to stop themselves until someone steps on and guides them and eventually help themselves too.This kind of attitude must be in someone's friend because if you are addicted there must be someone who can control it and take good steps to do it.
Especially the most important thing is his close relatives support him.

Gambling addiction is a serious condition that needs to be treated as early as possible. Many countries have already started to realize the dangers of problem gambling, so they've created several gambling addiction centers and self-exclusion services that aim to cure addiction and keep gambling an entertaining activity. According to this complete list of gaming addiction centers , Canada is one of the leading fighters against gambling addiction, and they've already helped millions of Canadian gamblers solve their problems and take back their lives. Hope it helps!
That is available in Canada, but how about in the other countries? I do not know if the other countries will have a good place to rehabilitate the addicted person to gambling. But suppose the other countries can learn from the leading country that fights against gambling addiction and build a better rehabilitation for the addicted people to gambling. In that case, it will help many people who have the same problem. That can reduce the number of addicted to gambling, and the government will be happy to see that gambling addiction is not a problem in their country.but there are people who are really ashamed on asking out some help from their loved ones but we dont really have any option because they are the only ones who could help next would be
professional help if it turns out not to be that effective.
