Gambling Addiction Stories and Possible Solutions

[Moiyah]

Too bad there are so many gamblers who got very much addicted and can not get out of their addiction. I'll admit that I am sometimes greedy when it comes to gambling. Yes, it is fun. But it also made me feel uncomfortable and disappointed whenever I lose amount of money thinking that I can still get it back when I play many times. Which I admit that it is not the proper mindset of a gambler has.

They will eventually get out of that addiction, we have friends and family who can help us and I don't think they are in big number.
I believe only few are addicted in gambling and in the worst situation, most gamblers who got addicted were able to fight it to get out.

That's how we are, human are weak when it comes to this things, we don't like to loss, hence we want to win back our loses, but sadly we don't have an unlimited money to gamble, so sometimes we are force to stop even at a loss.

Thats right human tend to be un contented in everything,we are not like animal that when the stomach are full then they will just rest and wait to become hungry again,but people even if they had a lot,they will seek for another and much higher or bigger

Let me be honest with you about this.  Because I never was a big gambler.
Ever since I started to have extra weekly BTC, I have found myself more interested in gambling.
I have a mindset where if I win, it’s very good.
But if I lose oit was “free BTC” to begin with so I don’t feel horrible. 

That is applicable for those who called as Fun gambler and not to profit at all-and i admire you for that because most of the people like you turns out to become a addicted in time so i hope you’ll never change in that mindsetting
We have same style but I didn’t come to mind about thinking of losing just a Free BTC

Losing is part of gambling. I think what he means is that it's okay to lose free BTC because simply it's not that huge. I've also tried that before when I don't have Bitcoin or any other altcoins and it's a good way to play just for fun at the same time you still have the chance to multiply it if you're lucky enough.

They should do that if they want to solve their problem with addicted to gambling. They can hide their problem because they don't want to see their family will get angry to him but trust me if you love your family, you need to tell them and ask them to help you. That is only the way to solve the problem. You cannot solve by yourself because you will always come again and again to the gambling places.

You need other people to help you, but you must tell them right away so they know what they should do to help you. I think his family will understand him and will search a way to solve his addicting and if necessary, his family will ask him to go to psychiatric to get a way out.

Exactly.Once you gamble,learn to accept the fact that losing is a big part in gambling that cannot be avoided and it has a higher percentage than winning.So better gamble only for pleasure and not making it as your own source of income.Addiction in gambling might only occur once you keep on gambling without self limitation so you end up losing until you see yourself wanting gambling more than you value your own life.

You mean gambling and not  addiction is fun? It is hard to find people who are addicts and enjoyed being addicts.  The excessive spending alone will make them to want to quit as quickly as possible but the experience is the only fun part i guess.

Gambling addicts weren't that easy to find, maybe at the last end user explodes. Only by that time it is possible to know that the particular person has got addicted. From my personal experience it is really hard to make a person get out of addiction with advices or other suggestions. Until the user himself believes it isn't possible to eliminate addiction.

A gambling addict may really have a hard time solving it alone. A good solution is turning oneself to a rehabilitation center. This way, the participation and interaction with other patients will enhance themselves.

That’s why it’s best to have a support channel like having your family by your side and believing that you can conquer it. I know it would be hard for them to quit, not to mention the feelings he/she is going to face towards the world when he/she comes back to it, it’s not going to be pretty. They might easily get back to their old ways instantly.

Addiction is one negative side and indeed in fact that when a gambler is addicted it will be difficult to stop. Even though at first we all got information about the adverse effects of gambling. For people who are smart, they can control all emotions. but for someone who does not have the ability to maintain patience, they will get closer to addiction. So look at the gambling game as an entertainment, make gambling games a pleasure. Never make gambling games a pressure in the decisions we make.

Yes.Do not enter into gambling where you can no longer control yourself anymore because for sure you will definitely become an addict to it.And the worst is that you will not realize you become addicted to it until you see yourself slowly ruining your own life.So never make gambling a priority in your life.Gamble only for pleasure or for fun.

I guess he is pertaining to gambling . Well, I can't say that there's no existing person which is aware of being an addict and enjoyed it  as well because that was not possible. Best examples are the gambling millionaires, either his aware or not we can consider them addicts — addicts who enjoyed being prosperous financially speaking.

the solution for gambling addicts is to make yourself busy, not just work but do other hobbies. for example, you like soccer, volleyball, basketball, golf or something else, then do it to fill your free time rather than having to go to the gambling table again. and often gather with family so that harmony is maintained and you can make your own limits.

OMG. It is too bad addiction. I am surprised to know this.
Addiction is like an illness, it should get a serious treatment immediately. Someone who is addicted to something like gambling forgets about the purpose of his life, and how he should live in the right way. He only thinks about "how to win / how to be rich with gambling". I think someone who knows him well, better to advise his family to look for the solution. He needs support from his family to change their activities and to remind him about the main purpose of life.

That good ways to try, but to stop gambling when we are addicted isn't really easy. Although we are busy when we have free time we'll back and back again.
Only ourselves know what to do. Just like me, many ways i try to stop being addicted in gambling but i cant until i have wife and son then they change my mind about gambling. Before i married,, i spend much money in gambling every week, but they come to my life and now just little money for fun in gambling. I dont know why my mind about gambling changed and out from gambling addicted, maybe because of the needs that I have to fulfill every day.

But your suggestion still good ways, nothing is impossible when we try.

I agree that making us busy to do something will prevent our mind from thinking about gambling. We could distract our mind and even block our mind from gambling, and soon, if we do this in every day, we could solve the problem with addicting to gambling.

But creating a new habit will difficult especially if we are addicted to gambling and we need help from other people to still watching us every day.

I used to be addicted in gambling back in 2017 ,
Whenever I have money I would always deposit it on the gambling sites that I want,
I used to play at bustabit since I thought that I could easily make money from it and also satoshimines.
I always play and at first I would win then I would become greedy then lose it all,
The thing that got me out of it was online games and my friends thanks to them I manage to save myself and save some money.

Congartz mate you've made a way from hell and you'll realize it early before getting you into mad. Gambling addiction will destroy our minds and we can't think the right way we should do cause there is something a curse happen to us. If we tried to listen advice from friends and to our family, it could be easy for us to escaped from fire.

How can a friend's advice help you, while what the family says sometimes does not have any influence on the player's feelings?
I've also been an addict, nobody can stop you, your friend, your family, except your own desire to stop it..

Also, have a lot of debt to few people will give also to stop being addicted. You may have an experience when you have a debt then some people come to your home as debt collector and threatening with any ways so as you pays the debt, maybe that's the horrible things. Sometimes our addicted will stop when we face an afraid, moreover if we have family, wife, kid will give encouragement to stop being addicted in gambling.
