Gambling Addiction Stories and Possible Solutions

[virasog]

I don't consider it an addiction unless it severely affects the person's health.  Look at howmany people drink alcohol and smoke cigarettes, that is much worse than gambling.  Gambling you are only going to lose money but its not like you are going to do severe damage to your body like the latter.

Well if one drink alcohol or is in a habit of smoking, the adverse effect of it will be slowly and steady. There will be no monetary loss in it and whatever is lost by these habits is health which normally is overlooked by humans.

The main thing to note here is that if the addicted person lost a good lot of money in gambling it could give him severe tension and depression and he might take any undesirable step which may risk his life also.

Gambling addiction is different, the effect is instant if you will allow your self to be with so much addiction.
In fact, it will destroy your lives as you will be living like a slave that all you want is just to gamble and although you win sometimes, you will
still loss in the long run because that greediness is inside you. When you are addicted your mission is almost impossible, so you will likely fail.

When you fail, that's the start of a big problem.

It is true that experiencing gambling addiction will not destroy everything, in fact we may lose the money we have. For me, applying oneself to addiction must start from ourselves, don't ever overdo it because in any case, when we are excessive, we will get poor results. Playing gambling is not a bad thing, for me there are many benefits that we can get namely we can be smarter in financial management, we must be able to choose what is necessary and what is not necessary. Addiction can we treat, treat addiction must be from yourself !!!

Gambling can also damage our mind, thinking always about bitcoin and can also lose our emotions and control, addiction is really a bad habit even in gambling. We can lose money and at the same time, lose our control in mind and emotion, so that's just not only one problem when we get addicted in gambling, so don't be calm when it comes in gambling, although gambling also has a benefit if we win in a game. Don't forget that it still has a bad effect if we can't control and limit ourselves.

After re-reading my topic I wanted to share my latest experience. I have experienced my latest gambling story, and it's not a good ending. What happened is I deposited 0.05 BTC then I managed to go to 0.054 BTC in a few minutes later as I continue gambling, it went down to at least 0.03, and I continued, knowing that everything I have learned in this forum and what I have experienced in the long run,  I should've stopped, but I continued, knowing that in my mind it's like "What the Hell" then suddenly it went back to 0.05 with a fortunate win, which I'm very fortunate to have. In my mind, telling me that I could get back that 0.054, so I continued to gamble, I went to 0.057. But I continued and lost.

What I've learned here is that you need to be ready and prepared to be satisfied with what you have already and be successful when you know you have achieved it already. When you become greedy, you would really lose everything. There's a finite amount of luck for sure when you have it, and you should be thankful for it. I think that's the most crucial part of all of this.

Control your greed bro, Thank God you did went bankrupt after gone nearly very low.
Whike gambling we need to have control on the money and also in our mind that when we have to get out, don't ask your brain because it keeps wanting again and again.

[Mister1k]

Apart from enslavement, gambling do likewise pick up terrible notoriety from general society since they figure betting can just prompt loosing which is a bit reality yet in the event that you can control yourself.

At that point there is no issue with it. conceivable arrangements with it is limit the season of playing and make yourself occupied on some different tasks. however, for me I think betting cant get me dependent since I once in a while have money to bet. a great many people do likewise like me, so how might they say that betting is addictive where it is costly.

I know, and I know that I have failed to control myself and I regret that a lot. You know the feeling where you should've been. I was supposed to eat, but I still wanted to continue just because I want to profit. Maybe take it from the heart?

How about gamblers who only gamble from time to time like me? I think it would be harder to control that game, but I can regulate myself gambling by itself. What I mean is that I can not go to a gambling site for months, but once I go again, I might not help myself.

You should stop when you can reach 0.05btc and decide not to continue playing gambling. But you hear the sound that keeps telling you to play again and again, and then you continue. That is a good lesson for you, make it your last lesson in gambling and when you are lost in any amount, you should take a break first before you continue. Take a deep breath and make a decision and it's better to quit gambling for that day, and you can try in the next day.

Don't let the gambling control over you !

Sometimes I kindda confuse why people can't control or even got addicted while they are already realize that they are making wrong decision to keep gambling. It's not a drug , Remember this !

Worse yet, many gamblers do this such as drinking alcohol and smoking while playing. Doing it often is linked to by gamblers, seen as a negative side besides being addicted.

I do regret not stopping and realizing that I had already made money. It's just human nature. It is a good lesson but I know I have experienced it as well. It's not the first time I experienced it. That's why I'm not feeling right about myself.

Whether it's a drug or any other similar types that can be addictive, it can still be harmful to you. You wouldn't understand because you haven't felt it. It's not as easy as far as I can observe.

I was one of what called "gambling addict" and I am happy I have done things to prevent it and stop being an addict in gambling.
I still remember the days where gambling was my life. If my friends invite me to play gamble, there was an urge and excitement I possess and I can't even decline a single invitation for playing.

If I lose, I always do my best to find a way to have more funds and play again because I couldn't accept that I lost and I need to get my money back. In the end, as expected I will lose the game and the flow will repeat.

Play - Lose - Find a way to have money - Play - Lose - Disappointed.
The moment I realized ain't doing it right, I did my best to forget gambling and started to think about my future and plan things to work out.

There is no need to be like that,there are many players who don't have smoking and drinking alcohol habit but they are highly addicted to gambling so it means what our mind wants we will get addicted it maybe combination of many or just for one.

Yes, it's been said in very simple way. One should not let the gambling take control over the user. We need to decide what is our goal to be into gambling. From my view it is more than a drug, because within limited time they'll get back the normal mind. With gambling it isn't the case, because the loss encountered will be deeply found in the mind keeping us remembered until we make a win.

What are the preventions that helped you stop your habits? I think that's a great way to practice self-management and improvement. I'm just amazed that you managed to prevent yourself from being addicted to a controlled person.

If I lose, I always do my best to find a way to have more funds and play again because I couldn't accept that I lost and I need to get my money back. In the end, as expected I will lose the game and the flow will repeat.

I think that's the most common habit of people with addiction. They are finding ways to feed their needs and neglect all the responsibilities that you have.

Play - Lose - Find a way to have money - Play - Lose - Disappointed.
The moment I realized ain't doing it right, I did my best to forget gambling and started to think about my future and plan things to work out.

Basically, the addiction cycle I guess.

Even if its a drug you must not take it beyond your control. Gambling is way different, its entertain gambling at a higher cost. A lot of gambling stories, yet people are still trying to win big in gambling. They still don't realize how much risk is gambling are, the possible solutions is to QUIT EARLY!

It is definitely hard to tell simply because we're not on their position. Yes! We can perceive what they're doing and conclude that it was wrong but at the end of the day we cannot fully understand what's the real feeling of being a gambling addict. We cannot fully relate unless we become of them. That's why I'm not totally blaming them for having a miserable fate because they're the victims as well.

It's not a drug , Remember this !

I know that it is not a drug substance such as ecstasy, shabu or whatsoever, but the bottomline is it can also function as a drug. It also make your body excrete dopamine at high levels and if you stop it after getting used to it, your body tend to find that stimuli eagerly (gambling) which lately results to addiction.

Ps: sorry for being scientific, that's the way I found in order to explain this .
