Understand addiction!

[aoluain]

Addiction means your mind want something in a regular basis to satisfy the dopamine needs.

Your brain has three status of living conscious,subconscious and unconscious.In the stage of conscious your mind knows what you are doing but on other stages you may not unaware of what is happening even if you are living in it.

So if you are having some habit to make you pleasure on short term like gambling,porn or dating and other lot of stuffs will become an addiction when you want that happiness everyday.But these things is not your long term pleasure it just only meant to be short term but your mind turning it into long term by making you keep doing it very often because your subconscious and unconscious make it as a habit already since you are doing it already.

If you want quit addiction from something then you may need to change your life style and concentrate on long term pleasure like building your career or doing workouts and getting success in your business like that.

Also, it is good to listen to those people who you trust with if you want to quit your addiction to something. Quitting additction is not something that can be done overnight. You need a proper discipline on yourself if you want to quit. But for me, gambling is something that can be done without being addicted to it if you just do it for leisure.

But the problem with gambling addicts is that they have a close mindset and if you call them about their addiction, it may end up negatively to them and it will cause friction between you and that person. So it's a delicate situation to approach so you need a lot of psychology behind, before telling it to them straight in the face.

yes the topic with the person addicted can often turn into a very
negative discussion.

there is a lot of psychology behind it and the healing of it.

I see people I grew up with who do not work but spend their days
either in the pub and the Betting shop next door, it is like this is
all they have to do, it is their daily routine so to them is probably
normal and not looked on as an unhealthy addiction.

Everything you said is what I am agree with but not with the above quoted statement. Changing lifestyle is not a solution to quit addition for sure. Changing lifestyle or workout may help somehow but the main and only solution is the will power. It can either come from inside or can be built through professional counseling. If a person doesn't have will power to quit addiction, nothing will work. Only a person has gone through such addiction, will understand what I am talking about. 

In general if you want to quit addiction it is possible only by making your brain to quit it which is remove that addicted habit from unconscious memory and it only happens by filling that memory with other stuffs so I am right it is possible by changing habits.But changing habit is not easy it takes months to practice and keep continuing it is very huge hard work but no need of medical help when it comes to gambling addiction.

It is greed you should be scared of. Addiction is triggered by the greed. Without greed addiction is harmless. I mean you can get addicted to read books and that's a good thing. You can get addicted to math and that's a good thing too. Addiction is a weapon. Making it a good weapon or bad one depends on you.

Addiction in gambling is different, it can ruin your life and if you are not able to go beyond that point you journey will be done. We have to understand that addiction is not good in gambling and we must take control of it, just play normally without expecting big profit do it passively and not by greed.

In the Op a clear definition is given to the term addiction. It clearly shows that addiction will not happen with gambling alone, it'll happen with each and every activity of a human life. To be out of addiction, a perfect scheduling and moving forward focusing on the goal achievement.

[michellee]

Maybe we need to go to psychiatric and ask him/her to hypnotize us and keep saying to the subconscious to not playing gambling, and we want to quit from gambling. I think it will work well because it's like a reset button on the computer and we have a large supercomputer in the living conscious, subconscious and unconscious. And by doing that, I think we can solve the addiction to gambling, and we can stop playing gambling forever.

Addiction is not only defies as for gambling because this is happening in every areas of humanity sometimes theres a good but mostly baddest,helping others sometimes can be call addiction but it is a right aspect while,gambling,womanizing,illegal drugs,smoking and alcohol drinking,but what Op has saying this is not that easy because this is not just a simple problem with a simple solutions

It is greed you should be scared of. Addiction is triggered by the greed.

Emotions, I think is the correct term. Greed is a factor emotion (but as for all, it seems to be the most recognizable of all). Addiction is triggered by the action of the user, Greed will only take effect once the the user's emotions triggers.

Addiction in gambling is different.

Well, I'd agree at some point. But addiction in general is can still ruin one's life. I.e. Addiction in alcohol, drugs, and etc. those type of addiction is has no difference in affecting one's life like gambling. TBH, too much is too much and for me any type of addiction can really make one's life miserable at some point.

It's easier said that done, mate.

On point!

The first thing that a addict should do is that admit to himself that he has a condition. Otherwise, if he is on denial, no one can help him. Yes there should be supports group like families, friends and medical help. But if refuse and admit that he is an addict then there's nothing we can do about it.

In addition to this accepting, the fact is quite hard for those who are experiencing, and it's really a challenge.

If he was able to hurdle this first step then I'm sure it will help him a lot and he/she can channel the mindsets to different thing to get ride of his addiction, it will be very hard and difficult in the beginning, but if he wanted to quit for good, then absolutely he can do it.

A lot of people, do fail on the first step and lose his/her battle. Despite all the help they receive.

Addiction is not come from someone's influence it is happening because of changes in our mind so having our mind under control is the step to quit gambling but as other says it is not going to be an easy thing but still possible.By the way nothing is easy.

I'm just not a believer in hypnotizing people, I think it is just snake oil.  IF it was that easy to quit addictions there wouldn't be anyone addicted to drugs or video games.  Placebo is very strong though and if the participant believes it work then it may actually help.

It's your own decision why you became addicted so its also your responsibility to move away, you are correct that it is not easy to resolve this issue
since it's already inside your routine, but you can change it as you need to control your activity, help coming from your friends can make things much
easier, building good relationship and start renewing or start creating new ones will help the process.

Every addiction is the same and should be treated in many options that have application to many different kinds of addictions. If you have managed to quit an addiction in the past with an exact way, you can apply the same to the gambling addiction and it might work. It is up to you if you will react to that or not.

But we also need to be aware of the next habit we are practicing it might leads to another addiction so having balanced life style is important to be ourselves a better human on this earth.

[gabmen]

The fact that people were able to overcome addiction means that it can be overcome. Perhaps different approach for different kinds of people depending on their upbringing and environment. The important thing is that they have to want to overcome it. It all starts from the person who's addicted.

You can't quit addiction by just simply changing your life style..
We have to know the main source of addiction, and we need to cut that into our life.
In this sense, it's gambling so we simply stop gambling, and that's a hard thing to do when you are addicted.

After getting a crushing defeat and making life a mess, maybe addicts can be aware and begin to force themselves to stop their habits. Indeed, a way to break habits that already merge with our minds cannot be done instantly. Sometimes, help from other people is needed because many addicts aren't realize with the dangers that threaten them later. The concern of the closest people is needed to deal with acute level addicts.

[Oceat]

Addiction is when your body won't stop to do what you are not supposed to do but since you were too stubborn you will just ignore it and continue to feed your stubbornness until you left out of nothing. But we know that at the back of your head you keep telling to yourself that this is the last time I'm going play this game but you never listen to it.

People should understand addiction because it is just like stress it keeps giving you a problem. But once you know how to control it you won't have a problem managing your own money. If people have an addiction problems they must have to seek a person who can help them the most (i.e. psychiatrist, friends, parents). Lots of people who played gambling was buried in debt with thousands and millions of dollars.

You are right the addiction was definitely happen because of overconfidence and involving higher than a normal person but the solution for getting out of addiction is simple but following them arr to be more difficult for a person to rebuilt his life and proper guidance will make you the difficulty more easier.

[Cacingkemi]

That's right,I want to eliminate that habit.Well Pornography gambling is inherent in my soul and such pleasure is only temporary.Planning to build my first career like your said but I doubt whether the addiction will appear again or not cause there is definitely a desire to do it?Trying to stop the habit repeatedly but can't,other alternatives become a second way for me but it's still difficult.

Pornography gambling? This is my first time to get heard of that. Are you serious with this or there is an "and" in between?
Anyway, I can feel you bro. It is very hard to change especially when you are already imprisoned by such evil things but remember that there's always hope. My advice is find your motivation first because it will serve as the source of your urge to change (e.g. Family).
