Life with a Gambler - Solution!

[Lordshiva]

In gambling we should only use our money, if we run out, we must go home. Don't use children's rationing, our wives to gamble because it must be very painful for them. If you want to gamble, use our personal money.

That is a good suggestion but I will stick to what other people say to me, instead of gambling, why don't you invest your money on your children and family? It is something that made me realize that I am risking my money into gambling while my family has a great future ahead of them than my gambling. I'd rather risk my money into my family rather than use it on gambling.

Good thinking, but have you also thought about the possibility of winning millions from gambling, a substantial amount that will give both you and your family joy?

A better approach for me is keeping the money you spend for gambling in check. This may be achieved by drawing up a monthly or weekly budget depending on how you earn and allocating a certain percentage of your income to gambling and then try to stick to it.

Yes this is the best way to keep gambling in check.Give a fixed amount to gambling every month and even if you loose all in the very first day then there must be will in yourself that you will not gamble for the rest of the month, if you can do that then it is absolutely fine.

I have never been addicted to gambling at any point I have been into gambling since 2015 and since then I only gamble what I can only afford to lose and as such I don't tie my source of income to it. I think lack of tangible occupation could be one of the key reasons for addiction which first starts with greed and urgency for quick money. Blackmailing loved ones who are addicted has never helped the problem but talking to them in love can go a long way to help control the addition

Không có một giải pháp nào cho vấn đề này. Cờ bạc là một chứng nghiện, vì vậy cách hành động tốt nhất là ủng hộ họ và đưa ra các cách để tái tham gia vào một thứ gì đó khác, hoặc có thể tổ chức một cuộc thảo luận về các buổi trị liệu có thể xảy ra?

Your attitude is what gamblers need to know and use so they will never become addicted in long term .

A person is able to defeat any addiction. If he can define it as a problem.
If this problem is noticed by everyone except the addicted person, it requires the intervention of a "specialist".

The sooner the problem is found, the sooner you can get rid of it.

Agree, when there is a lack of work, someone can become a gambling addict because they think gambling can provide income. Addicts who are a burden to their family or people around are certainly very bad addicts, because some other addicts will not burden others even though they get defeat and that is a control they have. But when the case is that we become people who are affected by the destruction of the addict itself, then our attitude can help him and help him to get out of his problems. But if we can't afford it, then I think we can take a stand to leave it because after all we also have to think about our destiny for ourselves.

It's true that we can beat addiction, but in my opinion getting rid of addiction is not easy and of course it takes time, hard work and also a strong desire from them, I personally see in my home environment, if only a few people are able to escape addiction to both gambling and alcoholics and even their families have tried to use the services of a psychiatrist to find a solution to their addiction, but the results only lasted a few days and then the addiction returned.

controlling ones self to not gamble the next day or straight for almost one whole month can be uncomfortable .
we shouldnt spend all the funds for one day but we should stretch it into smaller parts so that we can gamble most of the times and we can easily survive months and months by just spending less money .
gamblers life is not easy but theres always a solution to keep them going .

I didn't experience it nor experiencing it right now but I know a lot of people here in my place who are addicted to gambling (cock fighting, poker, and lottery). I thought if they lost their job, they would quit gambling because they don't have anything to bet, but I was wrong. They made a loan to loan sharks, and this is the one they are using to support their addiction in gambling, which leads to disaster.

Gambling addiction will give you a pile of stress and problems if you're not going to solve it, instead you're just making it worst every single day by betting and betting until your debt is as big as your addiction.

People like me knew well myself as addicted, but I wasn't able to come out of it. This means I've lost control. Most of the time the money requirement is the major factor that drives me to gamble hard and loss everything. Recently I made a good sum out of gambling. Gambled with $850 and made it to $350. Later somehow managed to make it to $840, further I lost control and lost everything in the event of recovering the last $10. In such cases getting a solution is really hard.

this is a 2018 thread, although the question OP talks about is something that no matter how many years pass there will always be this problem in the gambling world, I think we should have let this thread die and create another one if anyone wanted to discuss this subject that has been seen in the gambling  world

That really an existing problem as people had never learned how to escape or to avoid such addiction but they let this thing happen to them, and we have nothing to do with them because that was their choice either. But I think, they are comfortable with their life caught into addiction because, in the first place, they will surely find a way how to stop this, however, they did nothing but just to continue their addiction.

Some people gets addicted to gambling without even knowing. They see it as a normal thing, but can't let a single day pass without placing a bet. While some people knows, but don't know how to get out of it. I know a man who sold his properties, just to gamble. I think the first step of getting out of gambling addiction, is realising and accepting that you are a gambling addicts, then you have to make the decision of getting out. Although, is not always an easy process. It requires time and determination.
