Understand addiction!

[Noilee]

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.

When it comes to gambling addiction then greed is one of the reason to be in that situation but greed is also form of pleasure which manipulates the minds so being in control is the way to quit gambling.

I agree in that reason, why some people are addicted in gambling because of greediness they want all the time to win and hoping. So they dont know how to control themselves. The thing should learn not to become addicted is control.

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.

In short if you want to get rid of gambling addiction. Divert your attention into other things that you wanted or things that think you can make you happy and busy. Well, it's not easy especially if you really got hooked and always thinking of profit but you can do it without noticing as time pass by.

Addiction... What is addiction? Addiction is something you want to "use" to achieve certain goals. Addiction can be incentivated by your actions.
In case you need some money (talking about gambling to get profit into money / fiat) you will want to reach a certain profit. If you cant achieve those you will think you MUST have a profitable situation which will trigger an addiction state.

Addiction can only be triggered if you have something that you like the most and you can't do anything about it. This is because you can't control yourself because it is consuming you. It's either you have to get rid of it by drawing your attention to other things that you didn't do always e.g. exercising, watching movies, reading and so on.

By doing this you can make a clear line between your addiction and the one that you are doing. It may be hard to attain at first but it will be worth it in the long run.

That’s the issue we can’t control ourselves and we always play with greediness and later on we realize thay we are already addict in gambling this is bad of course. We must understand that addiction should be prevented and should not be tolerated by anyone.

It is easy to say "oh, it's just my brain, he wants to gamble". But the true problem is that such addiction replace other important things to all of us: family, relationships, enjoyment in small things and others.

True. But i am sure you can get out of it by being much aware of it whenever you are tempted to go about it. If you are addicted to gambling and you have no money, you will somehow gather a little amount at least to go for it. This is what unable to get out of it. But when you be aware and control over it for few days, this would become normal and you may forget it when you move on.

Its always been worthy to try it out rather than not trying at all.You wont even know if it do work or not because only ourselves
would able to help to make us out of addiction.Even help from other people wont guarantee to be effective if you are not able to help yourself  first.
Distracting yourself from other things is always been ideal and you should really try to get rid of possible gambling related stuffs and so on.

That is the reality of life when you are addicted to gambling. You will miss a lot of important events of your loved ones aside from the fact that you will lose a lot of money. You need to accept what's really going on with your life and change for the better before it's not too late.

Indeed,from my own experience?i missed alot in life,there are lots of good offers from works to families that i denied because of being addicted.theres a chance that i have an offer for a work abroad but i taken for granted instead i choose my vices,from gambling,alcohol and smoking and sometimes womanizing

Yes I agree. Not just gambling but excess of everything be it good or bad is not good for the domestic and family lives. One has to be moderate in terms of dealing with certain affairs that can impact the family lives.

However, I think that government has policies against these things and do not allow it for the citizen openly. This is the reason in China; the individuals do not make loss due to gambling because it is banned. So yeah, it should be understood that addiction is a curse.

Actually no one wants to "use" addiction for a particular purpose like earning profit, on the contrary many players don't know if they
are already addicts, they will start to realize it when they can't stop playing

I believe that he should learn about controlling his mind so he can prevent the tempting of gambling games. Besides that, if he can control his mind, he will be able to play gambling in anytime without worry to lose much money.

But that is difficult to control the mind, especially in gambling games because we can stay for a long time in the games without realizing that it will be too risky for us to continue playing.

  I strongly second your remark. Excess is not fruitful, be it about some good thing or bad thing. Covering every aspect and element of this world and all the human behaviors and everything, whenever somebody goes for extreme, it hurts. Either to society or to his family or to country or to his mind. Gambling intuited addiction that is cause rather root cause of emerging disappointments in the society.

They know they can't sustain too long by selling their goods for betting but still want to do which is called satisfying your addiction.It is one of the huge problem of addicted people.

Those who done this kind of stuff already needs mental assistance, as they can do anything next when they don't have something to sell out just to satisfied their addictions, they can steal from someone or more worse than that, act like robbing someone, addictions ruined a lives of a person who's
suffering into it, medications can help things to be corrected inside a persons mind.

That's why it's necessary to avoid addiction as we can go beyond our limit, a suppose to be entertaining is now could ruin our lives.
Prevention is always better than cure, so it's nice to educate ourselves with the risk like the possibility of addiction so we can find ways to avoid it.

Do not get affected because it makes ourselves in a situation that is not good, addiction will only make it difficult for ourselves to be able to avoid it. Think of gambling as an entertainment game and so we can play comfortably. Aim the gambling game as a way to get pleasure, so that we can play calmly and avoid the adverse effects of addiction. Gambling games can have positive effects such as relieving stress, doing good ways so that we can avoid bad things.

Building career and working out aren't always pleasurable to many people.  I doubt they are the real solutions to addiction problem.  They can be stressful sometimes. .. And the stress could encourage more gambling.

Gambling addicts should be encouraged to list what makes them happy,  what they enjoy or find fun aside gambling. 
They could be asked to replace the gambling with the list. The fun experiences can be developed for them assuming they are undergoing a therapy.

Well that's amother approach to it. Working out probably gets mentioned a lot because it's a physical activity. Huffing and puffing your lungs out can take away other thoughts so it is a good alternative but only for those who are interested. There are also a lot of physical activities not limited to working out like going outdoors. For me that's a more entertaining way of keeping yourself from sitting at a gambling table. One thing is for sure, it's easier if the addicted gambler has a solid support group like close friends and family.
