Understand addiction!

[michellee]

Gambling is really a heavy addiction and it can't be cured as easily as non-gamblers think. It is even more severe than cigarettes or alcohol, and needs a very good tratment. All of those advices and tips that are mentioned above are good and everything, but people mainly need great will and character to stop gambling.

Maybe I'm just lucky but I never had an addiction to gambling myself.  I think quitting drugs is much more difficult because it has a stronger physical effect on your body.  I still think people should be more concerned with themselves and not dictate others on how to live their lives.

Both gambling and drugs have difficult to quit because it is not just related to the physical effect but also non-physical in our body. We are difficult to quit by instant, and it depends on how strong our mind to say quit gambling in every time our feeling say that we want to gamble. But with helping from other people who close to us, I am sure that we can quit gambling or even stop to consume drug and it needs a big effort to do that.

Understand addiction and getting rid of the addiction from gambling is clearly a possible thing, it is completely in the user. The user himself needs to decide what need to be done to get out of addiction. The same is being used for marketing and some services too have got evolved to make people get out of addiction which isn't that effective when user himself isn't not ready to get out of addiction.

As much as I know addiction is as bad as one put his/her soul for sale. Determination is the key to addiction because it's not easy for one to quits gambling addiction. Self control may serve as a remedial to gambling addiction if an individual cannot exit the scene.

Playing gambling without any planning is already like doing a suicide and addiction also comes when you play without thinking and fully control by your emotions. I think if you develop self control in yourself, you can easily understand that you are influenced by the addiction and this can help to stay away from gambling or at least let you make a plan on when to play the gambling.

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.

This is so scientific meaning of addiction and it's so correct. Addiction is coming because of love something so much then you will be in the step that you can't stop it.. As the op said, if anyone addicted and want to quit that he/she need to change her lifestyle, and i know that's not easy, because it cannot happen in just 1 or 2 days.

But addicted people may not realize the addiction so they will keep doing for longer term which eventually making the the process of overcome the addiction too complicated.

I wouldn't compare addiction to that.

Determination is the key to addiction because it's not easy for one to quits gambling addiction. Self control may serve as a remedial to gambling addiction if an individual cannot exit the scene.

As you say it's not easy for one to quit so there must be some help from relatives, friends or someone the addicted person is close to. They need attention and someone to talk to because there are some cases that they don't know what they are doing.

Yes.Once you're an addict,you are now unaware of the things that you want to happen always.It is behind your control anymore.Addiction can be prevented if a gambler has his own limits in gambling.He should know exactly when to continue and when to stop gambling.And with the family around,addiction can be more prevented or even avoided.

It can be prevented if the gambler who's his thing but it's too much for him to handle, I doubt it that he can prevent it at the mid of it or if he's totally addicted already.

Knowing when to stop and how to stop should be the protocol of the new gamblers there.

People first come in gambling with their extra money and if they lose, they invest their more money. The addiction is too bad that they tend to take loan and try again their luck in gambling. In few cases, i have seen people losing their house and family only because of this gambling addiction.

So true if anyone wants to quit in their addiction they should first learn to change their own.
Quiting on it is hard but once you overcome it ,
You could really say that it is a huge achievement not just for yourself but also for your family.

Everything is OK till your habits or obsessions do not start to hurt people around you, people who love and care you.

Winning money with gambling is the addictive and not losing. As what the OP said 'Addiction means your mind want something in a regular basis to satisfy the dopamine needs.' No one wants to lose in a regular basis, when someone loses in gambling the urge to win is kicking in.

It's true that gambling is so addictive especially when you are on a winning streak but I've never been a fan of it because I always lose.

Be careful when you say you are addicted because you need to have a high control for your emotion. I see many addicted people get in trouble because of their addiction and I don't want to see you in trouble too. It's better you realize that you should reduce the addiction to gambling and reducing to play any games related to gambling. Although you already make limits on the gambling games, it doesn't guarantee you can quit gambling.

[sufferer123]

There are three rules in gambling:

1- Play enough not to hurt you when you lose.
2- Don't gamble with debt money.
3- Play to gamble to satisfy the feeling of pleasure not to be rich.


If you feel sorry after losing, if you're not getting a lot of excitement while you're gambling, if you're asking for money from others to gamble, if you're saying "your goal is  be rich with gambling', it's time to get psychological support.

Getting addicted is something that is constantly wanted consistently and I have passed that period. Trust it or not, in the past I just invested my energy consistently simply betting, regardless of whether neighborhood betting and web based betting. However, after this time I understood nothing could transform me on the off chance that I kept on betting, until at long last gradually I could change these propensities by filling my time by doing different exercises, for example, being increasingly dynamic in mingling and so on.

They can hardly to escaped from being in addiction cause they don't want it to do, they can't even move on from losses they have. This is a big challenge for every gambler, we should have to control our self not to fall into addiction cause it won't give good to us instead, it will bring us into troubles someday.

I totally agree with you that self determination is the key for which one can be able to reduce your addiction to gambling activities.

I thought you also agree with the selling of your soul or something. Lol

That’s the problem, you think you can just  immediately stop what you are doing with self-determination, it is going to be hard especially if you are alone. I think what’s better is to find someone who would be willing to help you either a professional or a friend, at least for an individual you would know that you have a problem and that’s the first step.
