Understand addiction!

[iMark]

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.

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.

From this title in this thread I think that's the key, yeah self control is important but what if someone is out of control and already an addict? of course the key is to understand about addiction, understand what bad things will happen when you become an addict, it will make you aware

I think he still needs to learn about self-control although it is hard for him because if he is addicted and he wants to quit or reduce his time in the gambling game, restraint is the only way that can help him. Without learning self-control, I don't think that he can quit or reduce gambling and maybe he will become very addicted because there is no control of himself.

Besides that, he will lose too big money in gambling, and I am sure that it does not take too long to see he lost everything because of his addiction. He needs to prevent that if he wants to save his money or quit 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.

A person is able to control his brain; accordingly, he can control his instincts and direct his actions by will. If a person cannot control himself because of gambling, then he has ceased to be a human being and has become a biorobot and such people need to be treated for dependence.

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

Exactly. This is kind off curse when it comes to loans and selling personal property for the sake of gambling. That is really an ugly side of gambling. I think that is the reason why it is banned in many countries around the world. In addition, there could be more ways of making the money and not only gambling if it leads to addiction so yes one should be aware of the gambling addiction.

i know im an addict but i can keep under  control i love gambling but we must know our some limits

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.

To quit gambling is not necessary but the most important is to have good control over our emotion. I think most of the people do not lose money because that they are addicted to but I think that the main reason is that people do not have control on their emotions.
To me although I have good strategy and limit for my gambling activities, but still some times its become more difficult for me to control my emotions and therefore I continue playing gambling tell I lose everything.

Well controlling our own emotions is really hard to do.We often make mistakes because we always want to satisy ourselves so we tend not to controlled our emotions.But in gambling,it's a necessity because if not,you will be prone into addiction.And addiction might only ruin ourselves of the things we do without our own control.

Seems like a good advice for understanding the self which is for me, I find it really helpful. Too much of a something can do really make bad things to come that is why self-control and proper moderation when it comes to playing gambling as well as the other stuffs that you may think you find it as a source of your happiness. Do not be dependent on those things that are temporary in this world like playing and materialistic pleasure because you are not really just making yourself happy with those that you have, you are depending on those to make you happy that turns out to be your addiction through time. Seeking guidance from other people can somehow make up your mind but still you have to decide. That is why whenever I tend to play into an online casino I am currently into, I always keep into mind that playing those variety of games are just for fun because social life and important matters in life like building my career is still the best happiness I could ever had.

I agree with this but before doing it, its better if you consult to a psychiatrist first because he/she can give you tips and advice unto how you can remove your addiction. Change your lifestyle, find companions that are not like you who are gambling. Try to focus on one goal like make a business or get a decent job or travel around the world or do blogging. Anything that is not related to gambling.

That is not necessary, you have your family to help you, you are only getting the service outside if the addiction is really serious.

Most of us are addicted in gambling but it's not serious because we still can get out even on our own, if we got addicted we need to seek help from our friends and family members, they can give more honest advise than a paid professional, I'm not saying they are not effective but I guess people close to you would do better as they know your better.

And you think that is just easy?

Being an addict to something is so hard and you will not know that easily since you are just enjoying yourself to that. When someone is addicted to gambling, they don't know they are an addict to gambling but even though they are addicted, in the real world, they know what they are doing. The problem is that they are sticking too much on the probability of them winning being positive that they will be having a take-home of big amount of money.

You can overcome of being addicted into gambling by changing your daily routine or lifestyle. Try to deal things which is actually meaningful and make yourself become happy to it. It's your own choice to decide and if you still don't want to change what you already used to.

We need to be strong mentally if we want to control the gambling addiction.  Being a human we should undersand that excess of everything can be bad for us and same it happens when it comes to gambling.

If you keep on playing gambling nonstop without any plan, you will only end when you have lost everything.

We must have something in our minds to scare us whenever we want to go beyond our limits. It's okay to have a dream of getting good luck through gambling but if we keep chasing it regardless of the risks that can happen, it will be very bad for us.

There should be limitation in everything and gambling is very prone for addiction. If you do actions like this, hurting your familys future, then you must consider yourself as addict. Its hard to stop on that level, but there still a chance for everything if you want to, so better to have someone to guide you.

Its your money and you have full control over it on where to spend it and how to use it. Since you earn the money, you own it and can spend it in any way. It can be spend on gambling or any other investments.

The problem starts when you do not have the money and still you want to play gambling. For this purpose you take loans and/or even try to get money from illegal means. This is where the addictions starts and we should stop our self from such acts.

Indeed. Self-control as well as contentment is the key for all of us to be happy in our lives because seeking for too much than what we currently have can do really lead for bad things to happen just like getting into addiction. We must not be dependent to those things that have a temporary purpose in our lives but instead better see those things that can make us happy for a long period of time. Never treat a game such as gambling a part of your life like you depend your life on it because it will be another matter to deal with which is addiction. Well as you have said, I got interested into those variety of games you were playing because it seems to be fun and I want to experience the same like you do.

So, our mind will also decide which is good and which is bad, if being a gambling addict is good according to our brain then don't ever admit a suggestions from someone else and our brain will also ignore the bad view of gambling that most people say.

Your brain though works from past experiences. So it doesn't really matter whether what you're doing is deemed good or bad. And we don't have the same experiences and perspective towards things so i don't think people who haven't been addicted to gambling will know what it's really like inside the head of an addicted gambler.

You mind is your enemy so it will go on the side which makes bad for you unless you command it and make it do good things for you.

Everyone wants happiness in this world,your mind also need it.
