Topic: Who does gambling addiction affect the most? (Read 2493 times)

It is always a blessing that the adict player has a family to help him or her get ahead, because most of the time, even if you have a family, sometimes things are not so good to help and all that, there are always many things that can have an influence, in my case I have a big family, but I think that most of them are not in a position to help someone like that because things or the cost of living is very high and I think that each one of them struggles to at least have a moderately good life, to secure enough to eat, and their basic necessities, so when they have a problem like addiction, I think the person must become aware and try to get better quickly with willpower, and even though sometimes it is very difficult to achieve it, they have to do their best, sometimes addiction puts hard tests to those who suffer from it and even though it is a disease that the only cure is Different , people have to go forward, because you are right when you say that they abuse or it is an excessive gambling.

Gambling is a risky game, and there are consequences, especially if we gamble excessively. Addiction is a consequence of excessive gambling, with many cases now occurring due to excessive gambling, they experience major financial losses and even other aspects such as relationships and health, and that is the consequence of excessive gambling. When someone is addicted, there may be people who will provide support for them to stay away from gambling, namely their family, whose name is family, of course they don't want any of their members to experience difficulties or problems, and I think the one who is most affected is their family, the main perpetrator who is addicted is the source. the disease.

when someone is addicted, their family will definitely help them, because it is impossible for the family to let their family members experience problems alone, of course the family will help them to get out of their addiction, even though it is difficult to get out, it is necessary to do it, because it is impossible for them will continue to survive in addiction.

That's how it should be and this applies not to you but to all gamblers who want to prevent or minimize the impact of risk in gambling, namely the emergence of a feeling of greed which will trigger your mind to gamble again and again without looking at how much balance you have spent on it. play.

And the experience that you have gained is certainly one of the motivations to get better and you have also done that, namely when you win you don't withdraw the winnings that you have earned, you think that maybe you will use that money again when you want to gamble. .
Yes, obviously that is a very appropriate step and you also compensate or get around the fact that the most important thing is that your main savings balance does not still have savings that are not all used for gambling.
And of course, with these wise and responsible steps you will be safer and not become a gambling addict.

I do this, the main aim is to minimize the feeling of greed that will definitely arise when I see a large balance. I also learned from previous experience, when I win and I don't withdraw the money, I will definitely run out of money by continuing to play there. So at least I still have money to withdraw, even though the main money in my gambling balance has run out.

This part is very important, only others could give support, and if we start from an important point it is that for addiction to exist we have to be people who are normally somewhat careless with ourselves, it is known that to get into addiction it is because He previously forgot about the responsibilities he has, he gave in to his emotions and as a consequence he has a well-defined problem, so when the player loses control of that it is because it is too late, there are other consequences, such as the If you are thinking that things are resolved just like that, you have to know that there are consequences where the player did not take precautions or that certain dangers were not taken seriously, that is why when this is not overcome, that is when family, friends and many come in. People try to help, because things get out of control, sometimes people outside the family are the ones who help the most to get out of any problem.

it doesn't matter who is the most affected because the very problem here is the bad outcome of gambling mate , because the truth here is no one really wins but everyone is loser.
yeah there are small winning but majority of each game is losing.

You are doing the right behavior because you already have a good strategy and good self-control when gambling or maybe you are already aware of the problem that all gamblers will face, namely maintaining stability so as not to cause greedy behavior in the casino.
And you have also implemented limits on betting where all gamblers are not ready to make that decision because what is on their minds is how they can win easily.
However, you actually try to carry out the right behavior, namely when you win, even if it is only a small result, and you rush to stop playing so that you can enjoy the winnings and you think that this can prevent you from being greedy and continuing gambling activities.
And in the end you get happiness there, namely that you already have a reserve of money from the winnings you have withdrawn and you don't experience any more losses.

Gambling addiction affect the gambler the most. Especially when the gambler is managing to survive.

Yes but not all gamblers and maybe only some gamblers who can really realize their mistakes, but yes as you said which is where the conclusion is that even though they are able to realize about their addiction and also realize that all the effects they feel are the result of gambling but still it still requires a lot of processes that are very difficult to really stop, it is difficult to be able to restore mindset and common sense like normal people in general, and one of the reasons is because something that has become a habit then it will be very difficult to leave. Gambling is full of temptation and it is very possible that at any time they fall back into gambling when they see temptation which means that quitting addiction really requires strong intention, determination, assertiveness and awareness.

This is indeed a common problem for gamblers. To get around this, I prefer to withdraw my winnings from gambling even though the results are small. in addition to preventing greed from appearing. At least when I run out of playing funds, I still have the proceeds from previous winnings which have been withdrawn.

no parent wants their child to be the successor of their parents' bad habits, in this case gambling activities. Therefore, it is better for you not to carry out gambling activities around your children. do it when you are far from them. and if you experience defeat in gambling, it is highly recommended not to express your emotions to your children or anyone around you. Just stop and accept the fact that if you are losing when playing. Losing money is still better than hurting your child with harsh words because your emotions are still uncontrollable.

If they really have awareness, maybe they will have the intention to stop and recover from their addiction, it's just that when someone is addicted to gambling, let alone being aware, they don't even want to accept advice from other people who are trying to make them aware. His family can indeed help, but in my opinion they can only help in supporting the recovery process, such as providing support to continue to be consistent with what was planned at the beginning, namely recovering from gambling addiction. However, in terms of raising awareness, I think it will probably be difficult even if his family puts strong pressure on him every once in a while.

That's not wrong, because of course we all have our own busy schedules, let alone those who are adults, it's just the children themselves who need to be paid attention to, but they can't be given full attention all day long, because we ourselves definitely have busy lives or activities, whether it be working or hanging out with friends. but if the main perpetrator who is addicted is aware that what he is doing is wrong, and he has the desire to be able to recover and recover from his addiction, then they must be able to restrain themselves from gambling, as much as possible they must be able to control themselves, because that Those who do it are themselves and they must be able to bear the risks themselves, other people will only provide support.

Who is going to tell the kids what's right or wrong if their parents or guidance are struggling with addiction? Life would be challenging for children growing up in such neighborhoods, families, or environments, where gambling thrives, and home training is in the mud. This could be stored in their long-term memory, which they'll never forget, and may flash back to the sad old life they had as kids when they get to adulthood. Hence, gamblers should respect the emotions of children, non-gamblers, and family members. Gambling shouldn't be made this difficult for our loved ones. It hurts to see a loved one suffer addiction.

What could be the fate of kids, when adults can't undergo the stress without a painful memory, even when it's gone? Children may then live with the pain forever because it won't easily get wiped from their memory. Addicts undergo lots of pain too but extending it to other people is just causing more harm to our society. We all need to limit how far the problem affects the emotions of other people who don't know anything about it, especially innocent kids. Kids should not be trained, as you said, around a toxic environment. Parents, relatives, and uncle, who gamble and stay with kids, should hurt their habit, and control themselves never to fall for addiction or chase losses in any form.

Agree. It is necessary to educate the new players but many of them sometimes don't care about everything we suggest to them. They think they know well what they will do, they are very confident they won't end up with the bad story as we ever did. They even babble that we are too afraid and we don't have the bravery to win. For these type of people, I sometimes prefer to keep silent, I don't tell/suggest them anything.

Correct. The addicts sometimes won't think realistically. They too focus on gambling, they spend all the money for gambling. When we suggest them to limit the funds, they think it doesn't help much for their gambling activities. Sure, they will do everything for gambling, they may forget their family because they have no limits on the gambling.

This is sad but is actually true. The misbehaviour of parents or elderly being seen by kids will be embedded to their minds. And sooner whet they get older, that will reflect back to their thinking and mindset. Because kids only follows the actions of those people around them. So if what they are trained to see growing up is gambling, addiction, neglect of the family, and poor money management, then they may also develop the same attitude towards life. It is detrimental that is why guidance with the right people will help this kind of issue.

Prioritising the desire to gamble over other needs for the family and for daily needs has become the last point of a gambler because they do not care about the surroundings, the most important thing is that their desire to gamble must be done.
This is a bad situation because it can actually cause a split in a family or relationship if it is not cured. I have a friend whose case is not much different from this because only the ambition to gamble is all he thinks about making the household he built crumble, as well as the assets he has in the end slowly become exhausted because of ambition that actually destroys everything he has.
In the end now his regret is too late because he cannot return what he had before, although on the positive side he has now tried to stop gambling and think more about other things because he realises that it is precisely with his ambition to win in gambling that everything becomes chaotic.

All what addicted gamblers care about is just about their gambling activities, they will prefer to gamble with the money with them, rather than spending it on their family members, some will go to the length of selling the properties which they are having and gambling with the money, the money which is suppose to be used to feed their family members, they will prefer to gamble with it. Seriously, addicted gamblers do crazy things which you will never believe people in their right senses will do, they do value their gambling activities even more than their own family members.

As gamblers who have experienced this, it's a good idea for us to educate new players so they don't fall into the same problems we experienced. and they also have to learn from the mistakes we have made. otherwise gambling will only destroy them. instead of wanting to win and double your money, you will only find yourself suffering.

Well, I think that as a first option, the person who is addicted to gambling should know and understand that things are always very difficult to guarantee that you have to take things in a good way, it is difficult to be addicted, but I think that the person must have strength. of the will to heal, that is something that must be fulfilled, taking into consideration that the family can help him, yes, but the addict must also know that the people in his family also have obligations and things that must be fulfilled, apart from a great weight like that , that must be considered, that is why when we are in that type of eventuality we must see that the attention is not full or cannot be full for that person, that is why many times it is considered that they take them to a psychologist or, if the case arises, It warrants a psychiatrist, because they may need quick attention.

It's okay, friend, it's a normal thing, because I think all gamblers have felt that way, but what's good, in my opinion, is that with this incident we can learn a lesson, which means we shouldn't do the same thing again because of the urge from thoughts that want to continuing to gamble even though you have been on a losing streak. In my opinion, losing or winning gambling is the same as it can make us addicted. When you win, what will happen is a strong temptation to continue gambling by wanting an even bigger win. and defeat can make us curious, like what you experienced, that's one of them.

the point may be losing self-control, because when we win or lose, it can be dangerous if we lose self-control. by losing self-control it can make us lose more money and what you say is true, it can destroy our lives and our finances and what happens is only regret, but even regret cannot change everything for the better. We must be able to do our best, such as gambling, by learning from experiences that have occurred.
