I read that there are people who are addicted in gambling but they are successfully cured from addiction, I'm interested to know what are the methods they do in order to get cured from such addiction, I use the word cured because gambling is a serious problem, I call it as a disease, so please share you experience so we can also help those who might have been experiencing an addiction right now.

To be honest, the word "cured" when it comes to gambling addiction is confusing, because it either means you completely quit it or your successfully made some moderation towards gambling, so let me explain both sides that I've said. When someone wants to completely win against gambling addiction by fully quitting it, they need someone's help, of course they also need their self for this process, what I mean by "self" is their will and dedication of doing so, while the other one is that they need to go out somewhere else, to completely subside their urge on gambling, for example is like going on a trip to a place where it is remoted (no wifi) if possible, and appreciate the beauty of nature instead.

In these way, they could achieve their goal, slowly but surely, there is no shortcut on making your dreams come true.

I agree that we can consider gambling addiction as a disease somehow that sticks on you till it consumes everything that you have. In my case, I have been into gambling addiction way back 2017 when bitcoin's value was still very high. I was confident enough cause my investment went very well till the day came where all of the profit I made from my bitcoin investment was all gone. My fellow investor and friends helped me to cure my addiction till I was able to completely end it and regain all of my losses.

I've been there. It's been a hard days lol, I have a signature campaign at that time that pays bitcoin (This is my part time) and every time I received payment from the campaign on where I belong I deposited it immediately to gambling sites. Casino and Sports betting sites are my main platform and at the end of the day if I won I will do a last bet where in I bet all the winnings that I have and test my luck and most of the time I ended up losing.

The bad thing is that whenever I lose, I immediately transfer another coins from my savings and used it to recover my loss and of course I will loss it too. After with this many events in my life I decided to quit it even it's hard... I did it through focusing on other things in life such as pursuing passion that I like, Playing games (Which was my first hobby), play sports and lastly if I really urging to play gambling I play through gambling games (mostly on steam or web games and sometimes mobile games)

Those people who got escaped the hell in gambling are very lucky. We know that getting addicted in gambling isn't that easy to be cured. It will take time and discipline and help from other people in order for the gambler to be cured totally.

Abstinence, help of family and focus on other things.

Abstinence is the best way to cure a gambler from getting addicted into gambling. Not gambling for how many months or years will cure the gambler for sure but it will depend. There are some times that their body wants that they want to go to casino while their mind doesn't want too. Discipline is a big thing here. Not disciplined = harder for a gambler to be cured.

Family will be a good help in order for the gambler to be cured because they can distract him and make him do other things and not gambling like playing, travelling, jamming with them etc.

In every game I played, I always have my limits set before proceeding to gamble just to be very sure I won't spend beyond my limits. There are many cure for those who have been addicted, just setting a limit can be of a Major help to quit the gambling industry.

When we get addicted, the only way to get rid of the same is through alternate focus. We need to turn our focus towards something else, and if we get self satisfaction on the alternate thing one will easily get out of addiction. If the alternate focus too doesn't fulfill the mind, automatically the person gets back to gambling.

Whether it is money based or something else, people wish to achieve it in a very short time period. This is where people easily gets addicted.

This is the correct thing and I have seen people and recommended some friends too and this has being a helpful to some people and makes me happy that they are now not on the wrong track. One has to find out the alternates and the moment you decide about it chances is that you have overcome 50% of addiction and rest is when you get involved in other activities or hobbies which makes and trains you to be a better person and stay away from your addiction which is not good .

If things were that simple

Then, according to this train of thought, simple abstinence would do wonders and, more importantly, suffice. But it doesn't work that way in real life. Alcoholics who haven't been drinking at all for years can and do in fact often relapse into their alcohol addiction, which means they are not and have not been cured of their dependency in the slightest. In general, the same is equally applicable to gambling, as well as any other form of addiction. Put differently, forced withdrawal can be a solution but only a temporary one. It doesn't remove addiction

Following that line of thinking, I don't think there is a cure for gambling addiction at all. Once a gambler - always a gambler. We're all adrenaline junkies! Wink

Of course, there are people who have managed to successfully restrain from their gambling drive, but that does not mean they have been cured of addiction. Maybe they just swapped one addiction for another. Maybe even something with a little more adrenaline. I think all gamblers (both regular or occasional) love the feeling of winning just as athletes or any other adrenalin junkies love it. Because it's a rush, right?

I gamble a lot but im sure that im not addicted to gambling being addicted to gambling for most of the time could actually ruin being successful I believe that others with discipline and can control their self is the one that is successful in gambling if you're really addicted in gambling it might prevent you in being successful because they don't stop playing and don't get satisfied. All excess is harmful to us.

Curing addiction is I think very easy in my case the key is discipline. I think it is difficult to others since they justs go with the flow and don't really want to stop gambling or stop it.

Imbalance problem with those addicted gamblers who can't manage to established right attitude towards gambling. But for those who knows how to handle and knows what to do in order not to be engaged too much, they are capable of moving or quitting if they are not feeling good while playing,
take some rest then go back once they see some good edge.

It's quite easy to achieve if only you're determined and focus on achieving your goal. Back in my high school days I was an addict to most activities that can be addictive. Gambling was one of them and I was able to overcome it the help of family members and friends only personally don't played a very important roles since it was my willingness and determine that fueled my desire.

It starter as gradual process as my gambling budget was cut down by 30% that's if I usually gamble with $100 daily, it got reduce to $70 and it continue in that method until I got to see myself gambling with only $10 daily. Somedays I hardly gamble in general

You will get cured from an addiction to gamble when you don't have anything. I'm sure you will cured by 100%, because you need money to play gambling, without it you will just wacth the game

I did go all in and I do really regret that time and I call it the worst day of my life .....

If you go all in and it's not part of your plan, that simply says you are losing control and maybe addicted already.
There are two types of addiction, a serious one and a minor addiction, first it will start with minor addiction and if you can't cure that, it will become a serious addiction that would cause a serious problem, we don't want to reach at that level right as the deeper the addiction, the harder you'll get out of it.

Everyone should understand the risk in gambling so they'll be responsible in gambling, and always stay realistic that you can't win in gambling all the time and it's hard to win in gambling most of the time.

i am not telling my story but my best friend because He use to be addicted and had sold everything just to sustain His gambling addiction.
he even lose us (His friend) because of this trouble he into.

His parents keep on asking us how to help him but there is nothing we can do since he is ignoring us.

But one day we have been shocked when he Finally come to us,with changing Mood why?because he become a Christian,i don't want to Impose religion here because i respect everyone has their views regarding this but it is what changed Him and now he never come to gamble again.

We all know that one of the best profitable ways to earn a lot of profit is with the use of cryptocurrency gambling and now we can get a lot of income if you are having enough skills and technique just to win those games. Also choosing the best game that is suitable for a player gives them an advantage. Playing gambling is a very risky thing even you can earn a lot of people. Nowadays many people are trying to use gambling just to earn more income but sometimes we are getting more greedy and cause of losing money as a gambling player always look for the play safe if you want to get an enough profit but if you don't mind that you can risk all of your income and play a game that has only 0 or 100 chance of winning always monitor and aware your self what is happening to your money and income.

We don't know what method they did to cure the addicting to gambling because I guess that they will use different ways to solve the problem. But perhaps, they must do something to distract their mind not to think about gambling so they can build a new habit and avoid playing gambling. They will need other people to help them to solve the addicting.

My experience in preventing from playing gambling every day is do something else, and I don't touch my computer for some hours, so I don't think about gambling. I am trying to do something after I used my laptop, so I don't use my free time to visit the gambling websites, and so far, it works for me. Some of my friends use their free time to go to the gym and swimming, so they don't feel that they are addicted to gambling.

I maybe addicted but I don't feel it's resulting bad to me, currently, I am gambling almost everyday but with proper limit.
For me the mot important is to limit yourself in gambling and think of another day.

Maybe iirc, before I lose my tempter or control in gambling, I did go all in and I do really regret that time and I call it the worst day of my life but nothing really serious happen after as I always learn from my mistake which I believe everyone should.

I was addicted before but luckily it was not a serious addiction that turns me into a monster, lol... what I mean monster is that I do drugs, don't sleep much, steal money, other illegal things just to finance gambling. The worst thing I did in the past was just to loan money to gamble which I know might not be able to repay it on time since I have my responsibility to my family which that time my salary is not really big.

I get out of it through my own realization and I think for the future of my family,.. so one day I wake up I am not that stupid anymore and I am happy that I still gamble now but not like before that I can be out of control anytime, I am more matured now, and thanks to my experience.

Im not addicted but i do gamble almost every week, i think time management is one of the reason why im not become addicted to it. Also i do it just for entertainment only or if I have extra money just to have fun. Being addicted in gambling is really alarming because its not easy to avoid it once you started and enjoyed it. So my advice is to have control , time mangement and make a plan on how you spend your money through it.

I doubt the most addicted persons that turned into worst are here reading threads. They will not read something like this. But somehow, if you have known some, this might help.

In every country, there is a gambling rehabilitation center whether gamblers will focus most of their time doing leisure activities, meditating their mind, playing sports activities and something that can relax their mind without pressure. Should be free of cost if that's a government body but private ones do have a much better service compared to public ones. The costs though would hurt but 90% will cure someone's addiction.

Gambling addicts will never listen to anyone just by reading and giving them advice. They should treat as a normal patient with the disease. Families and friends should be the first ones to make a move if they want to help a certain gambling addict that is now nearer to become the worst one.
