Topic: Who does gambling addiction affect the most? - page 7. (Read 2507 times)

I voted for "the gambler", simply because the first one who is affected by addiction is the gamblers themselves especially if the gambler is still single and has no responsibility to take care of a family.
Even if the gamblers has their own family to care, the impact will not come directly to the family members.
It will also depending on the financial or economical status of the family, because a rich family wont be affected much if one of the family members is addicted.

I think that things are very different when it comes to gambling addiction, firstly the person who has to do it and is most affected is the one who is suffering from addiction, yes, now, the person has a family, is the head of the family, is Things are worse, because things are always done so that they can be better, but even so the family feels the signs that something is not right, basic things begin to fall, rubles, medicine, there are delays in basic services, All of this begins to go down and look in an uncomfortable way and it is confusing because basically things do not happen as before, because there is no liquidity in the home, there is not the slightest freedom, so these types of things are what a person must think before doing anything, personally I have always said something, we are a normal person and when we are not doing well economically and the family suffers the consequences, it is something that the pressure increases too much.

Therefore, every time we are doing things to be Able to generate more solutions, we have to resort to asking for more credit from the bank , more debts, more loans, more financial life in decline, and this is the only reason why it is effective in ending them. When there are children things are even worse because you have to be a Responsible person, take care of everything, when faced with this type of thing I cannot lose control on a personal Level , and family has always been my handbrake, hence I cannot help cross my limit , but there are buts that even though they do not have a family , Children, they may have other mourners such as their mother, father, family in general, sometimes their environment, friends, all of these people make a difference and I see This is what you have to think about before making any move, plus this is a lot of Risk , I think this is Enough to make things better, you have to always consider these Types of things.

The main impact of addiction will be experienced by the addict. Families of gambling addicts do not always feel the impact, especially if the addict does not change their behavior. I see many addicts who are fine with their families and have no change in behavior, but addicts like them are responsible gamblers.

Changes in behavior will only be experienced by irresponsible gamblers. We often hear husbands hitting their wives or children because they lost at gambling, this is the real impact of irresponsible gamblers. I agree that addicts like them need treatment or consultation with a psychologist or specialist, it can help reduce the impact if they really want to change.

Everyone is different, but many people have mental health problems that affect their children. It is not necessary to blame all problems on gambling, alcohol, drugs, etc. because all problems come from the person himself. A person may not have any addictions, but this does not mean that he is not a despot to his children. I believe that it is possible to solve any problem and get rid of any addiction - it takes desire! Of course, it is a pity for children who are traumatized by their parents. The only thing I can recommend them is to find a good psychologist to work through these moments and help them forget this difficult experience.

It is difficult to say who suffers the most, but most likely those people who love this person the most or who are close to him. These are my wife, children, colleagues, friends. But if friends or comrades have the opportunity to stop communicating with this person, then people who live with him do not have this opportunity or it is much more difficult to do so
Therefore, I think that it is most difficult for people who live with a person and who worry about him the most

I'm sorry about your story. I know how hard it is to be a family of gambling addicts. This should be a lesson to other people that gambling addiction is not a good thing. I have a friend whose father was addicted to gambling and he is now also a gambling addict. This is especially sad because he became a gambler because of his father, not by his own choice as an adult. I saw his childhood life completely destroyed because his parents often fought. So I think the immediate family suffers the most from gambling addiction. Don't become a gambling addict if you don't want to see people you love suffer.

Technological developments that occur in the current era make it easier for people to gamble with safe privacy, and as you said, even the closest people, both parents and partners, may not know about the activities they do, that's why in this case we need do regular checks on the cellphones and computers they use so that at least we can prevent and monitor our loved ones so they don't get caught up in gambling, but if we are too indifferent then it will gradually become a regret for us when they start to get addicted to gambling, I don't think it's wrong for us to have a heart to heart talk and also try to keep them away from gambling from an early age.

The many stories circulating about how the effects of gambling can affect a person should be a benchmark for us in looking after our family and closest people, maybe we will get a little resistance from our loved ones for invading their privacy but at least it's still better than later being late in doing taking precautions that in the end will only make us regret it for the rest of our lives.

Yes, that is because people now can playing online gambling easily even in their rooms without telling to other people. They can keeps their secret for a long time and that can makes them in dangers because without anyone knows they are playing gambling, that can makes them playing gambling excessively. It's why they needs to asks someone or his friend to comes to their house and stays at their rooms to watches their activity in gambling. But I guess not many gamblers do this. But his family can get affect of his addictions because they can busy to takes care him and go to the rehabilitation with him to cure his addiction.

This can be very difficult to do nowadays, as in the past at least you could get an idea if one of your family members had a gambling problem if other people watched them going to the casino too often, but now that people can gamble online, you do not know if your family member is playing a video game, sending a few messages to a friend, looking for information that is work related or gambling all day, making the early detection of gambling addiction way harder than what it was on the past.

But usually, gamblers hide their gambling habits from other people, even if they are members of their own family. This requires attention from other family members to recognize changes in the gambler's attitude so they can ask the gambler about it. If the gambler wants to say that he has started to become addicted to gambling, his family members can immediately take him to see a professional who can cure him. This requires a fairly long healing journey for the gambler. But it is all worth it considering that there are family members who will always accompany this long journey so that the gambler will not feel alone in struggling to cure his gambling addiction. Maybe his family members will experience the impact of the gambler. But if there is mutual openness between them, especially from the gambler, they can help each other to try to overcome and cure their gambling addiction.

Newbie gamblers can be persistent about making the wrong gambling choices. Even when with an expert. However, it helps being with an expert, at least to remind the newbie of his wrong moves. Although some people would think that their own choices remain the best. You see that gamblers sometimes wouldn't care about the words of the expert. But if the person is quite very close with the expert, he wouldn't resist his advice. And it'll be hard for the gambler to get compulsive on the long run. That's the importance of having a good gambler around newbies. Because if he gets addicted, it'll be quite a long healing journey for the gambler to get back to his normal gambling habit. Definitely the people around the addict will go through multiple stress. Which can even lead them to therapy, because multiple stress can affect the way one thinks and behave.

At some point even those gamblers realize the mistake of their ways, but when they do so it is so late they cannot really stop anymore, since even if they know they cannot obtain profits with gambling, they have gambled for so long that it is difficult for them to imagine themselves doing anything else, and that is when things can get even more dangerous for them, since they are now gambling not because the profits they believe they can get, instead they are gambling because they do not know what else to do with their lives.

But I think it is not tendency but rather mistake made in approaching gambling, if they had the right approach and could control themselves then the problem of addiction would never occur.
It is clear that they will be able to take some precautions or not even prevention but rather an attitude that can really prevent the problem of gambling addiction.
The beginning of addiction is curiosity that is too high, getting big wins but not being satisfied, losses that cannot be accepted and also satisfaction that never stops, all of these are the initial factors for gambling addiction but if there is good attitude and approach then everything it doesn't have any effect.
Based on human attitudes, they often let go of their own control because they are too passionate about big ambitions and they forget about any consequences that occur because they aim too excessively at achieving success.
This is not wrong because what is wrong is their own mindset in responding and having an approach to a result that they may not be able to accept well.

It actually easy to take the right steps in gambling so that bad things don't happen, but it the gamblers themselves who make everything complicated and seem impossible to do.
They have an exaggerated perception that gambling is place to produce big things, one of which is win that can change their life.
There must be improvements and also discarding various thought patterns that really don't make sense, this will be very helpful in context like this.

Most gambling addicts do not feel that they are addicted and that is a fact. They feel that what they are doing is not wrong and it is the people closest to them who are wrong because these addicts think that what they are doing now by gambling is to get money and become rich. And when someone forbids them from gambling, it's like preventing them from earning more money and the effect is that they become more aggressive and that can become domestic violence. That's why children are usually the main victims of violence in gambling addiction, followed by wives and other family members.

There are people out there that have personalities which show a heavy disposition towards addiction, and those people need to realize this fact, because if they do it then they can take all kind of preventive steps to never fall into an addiction, but the majority are unaware of those tendencies, and when they find an activity they like then they will begin to do it without imposing any limit on themselves, and that is when thing can get out of control really fast for them.

Personally, I do like it when they talk about strategies and these things are highlighted, I do believe in strategies, although many say that strategies do not work, I say yes, because it is a way of not playing so flat, and that is something that must be the best, so just as there is luck, I consider that on some occasions that are alpicanfucnioa, of course it is not that there is a single strategy, but it is possible that things work, agree Many more things can be established to this, first if I win with a strategy I know that I cannot use it later to make the same play, in fact a lot has to be innovated, in this order these things can be seen as better when They show how to do something better.

When we are playing we want to do our best to win , to have fun, and there is nothing better than things being done differently so that we can have a better way of playing, so when we highlight something, it is not that They work for everyone, because in the game things don't work that way, sometimes it can be said that a person has multiple Strategies and they are not the same, but it must be that something is not working well, because they are taking an extra step, or they are eating one step.

For me, strategies are the best they can do, I don't like to play flat, those who say they don't apply strategies because they don't work, well I would like to know how they do it? Maybe they play randomly betting on good luck and the touch of luck, it is also valid, but I always like to play with the order of doing things like that, because one discards , that Strategy didn't work for me, I'm going to I am going to apply this one, or I am going to apply the other one , then these types of things are what we should see, of course this is what is always evident.

If children already know gambling, we should teach them about the risks of gambling so that they can think about the risks and will not try to approach gambling. They also will not try to play gambling because of the possibility they will lose their money. We should not need to introduce gambling to teenagers because they are still not stable, and there is a vulnerability to experiencing a loss of control of themselves in gambling. There is still much that they can do just to get pleasure so they don't need to be involved in gambling.

Someone should look for other things that can give pleasure than playing gambling, where they can experience loss of money and also lose control of themselves in playing gambling. If they do not benefit from gambling in the sense that they will only experience more money loss from gambling, they should not use gambling to find entertainment and pleasure. Gambling is only to have fun and when they cannot get pleasure from gambling and will only be emotional, they should begin to realize that they must immediately leave gambling before everything turns bad. If they lose control and become addicted to gambling, they will only give their families and also themselves.

Perhaps a novice gambler can gain better knowledge if he is accompanied by an experienced gambler, in this case, his father or the adults around him. But we have to remember that not all beginner gamblers can and want to learn about self-control when gambling because each person will be different too. And when they can learn all the things needed to play gambling, they can avoid excessive gambling. But if they become more curious about gambling, they can use more money without anyone accompanying them in gambling, which can trigger them to lose control of themselves. Apart from that, we also have to remember that when someone has become addicted to gambling, it will be a difficult moment to be able to pull him from gambling because he has started to not care about other things around him. Their focus will shift to gambling, and they will think that gambling will be more important than other things, so they will not want to do other things. And when they are addicted to gambling, it can have an impact on them and the people around them.

Absolutely true, many people are swimming in addiction today because of the fortune they see some gamblers make in there presence of the heard from a friend, this set of people first will always have the mindset of winning always but forget to understand the principles of gambling which is either to lose or win, this kind of person will make gambling his sole occupation and the end may be disastrous, gamblers with this kind of information will continue to be addicted as long as their want is not met or achieved unless their is no fund available even though there is none, they will still look for a way to augment things.

The emotional toll on the gambler and their family can be severe. Feelings of shame, guilt, and despair are common among individuals struggling with gambling addiction. Family members may also experience stress, anxiety, and depression as they try to cope with the situation. Excessive gambling often leads to significant financial losses, affecting the financial stability of the gambler and their family. This can result in unpaid bills, debt, and even bankruptcy

Children have retentive memory but easily forgets an inconsistent subject or training. They prefer following up with what they're being thought. Same things happen to adults, but an adult can forget to remember. Among other online gambling criteria, remembering discipline while gambling is hard to withstand. Hours after gambling, one can begin to reminisce on the experience he had and the promises he made himself. Both of which wouldn't rhyme. When in action, the brain thinks differently compared to when at rest. Gamblers have challenges to resolve while gambling. And it needs the help of an experienced gambler to teach youths. Having an experience gambler as father, could be tagged lucky. It takes a good gambler to save a compulsive gambler, especially when they're close relative, friends, father and son. A home that has no gambling expert could remove such problems by taking their children away from a gambling community. Failing to secure the safety of the kids can put a big trouble in the family. One who doesn't know about gambling may find it hard counselling a gambler. The terms we use also plays vital roles in starting a healthy conversation that will take hours to end.
