Problem gamblers what can we do to help them help theirselves?

[dobolspeed3]

The ones who can help the problematic gambler are only those closest to them and that will also be done by themselves, we, as gamblers, can't do anything. Can only hope the best for problem gamblers. Maybe it can only take lessons from the person's problems.

What can you say about the families that repudiate their loved ones that are very addicted to gambling I think that will be the time other people would make a move in helping them I think? I guess there are public sectors from the government that are helping those in need of therapy to help people conquer their problems regarding a gambling addiction, I guess this can be prevented if people would sure ensure that they are accepted from their lost I think they will not going to chase over their loses, I think addiction is triggered by many things.

We should post a sticky I think in the gambling section explaining gambling in details,I think to explain the risks of gambling more than the benefit of it.Everyone can add content to the sticky as long as is following the strict guidelines of the sticky post creator.There are a lot of resources to build a good sticky post on gambling risks so I will leave this to better post writers than me,I think this idea should help many gamblers here read before they decide to gamble.

I doubt gamblers would recognize such risks or even bother to read them since they believe in themselves that they already know what gambling is. It's kind of like how you know smoking is bad yet you still do it. Kind of a form of stress reliever and enjoyment for themselves. Sadly though, gambling is most often, if not always, seen as something negative which is why gamblers themselves have this same mindset even though they do this themswlvss, causing them to incur addiction to themselves.

Come on, in my opinion the point is not just the thread that discusses the risks of gambling here, but that is only a few pictures of the thread in this part of gambling. There is a lot of discussion in the gambling section, not only the risk of gambling but also strategies, suggestions, problems, etc.

Oh yes this section of gambling is not only intended for gamblers, but for everyone including non-gamblers and prospective gamblers. When they come here, then they will read the risk of gambling (for those who don't know it yet) and maybe for gamblers, threads like there is no point because they already understand about the risks of gambling but for prospective gamblers, thread like that is very useful.

No one can actually help a gambler but himself/herself. If you are addicted to something, you know that even if people, whether a close one or not, give you advice it won't stop you from doing something you are crazy about. For them, gambling is like a drug that they can't stop. That is why as early as you can learn to moderate your self, or if you know you can't move away from gambling. Gambling is supposed to be a habit to entertain people. It should be a means to relieve stress, spend time for yourself and socialize. But, due to the chance of earning easy money, it makes people greedy.

i agree that no one can help gambler when they're are addicted . Because their mindset is too hard to understand especially if you don't have knowledge about gambling.. And you will be blamed if you keep Convincing them to stop, because it seems your blocking their way to succeed . Lol. That is based in my experienced also actually.
