If...

[St4yInTh3D4rk]

If you're the one who gets addicted, what possibilities can you do?

It will be serious if you ask me,I will mentally get disturbed a lot if I am addicted to something and it will feel like a hell and I experienced that addiction on something other than gambling but in gambling it will be much worse since I have to give more money whenever I want to get happiness from it and it will keep eating all my saving,then assets and my life as well.

Hmm if assuming that I get addicted un poker for example, I think of so many things that could possibly happen to me. First, maybe I will stop studying not only because of wasting a lot of money coming from the losses I got from gambling but also because I already lose my time and interest to it. I also see myself becoming a robber or drug pusher or a person who desperately do anything just to earn money. And since luck is not on eveyone's hands then I might end up as a beggar or at least a broke and helpless teenager who regret his bad decisions in life and now jealous to his batch mates who are succesful in the present

Anyway, that's only a what if. I guess I will never be that kind of person since I knoe to myself that I am disciplined and have self-control .

If you're the one who gets addicted, what possibilities can you do?

Seek professional help from experts in handling addiction. I won't take my problem to friends or family members to avoid unnecessary argument on how I'm wasting my money, i feel I'm already getting addicted to cryptocurreny and adding gambling to it will just end my life. I gamble with precaution like they say "Prevention is better than cure" so i prevent myself from getting addicted by taking some precautions.

I gamble with precaution like they say "Precaution is better than cure" so that's how i keep my gambling habit in check.

its not precaution its prevention  .  " prevention is better than cure "  but we dont exactly need to avoid or stop playing a gambling in order to not get addicted because addiction can be controllable .

in my case im a regular player of online gambling but i never get experienced to be addicted with it because i have a time management  . i divide my time to do other important things  .

It's going to be difficult to admit to your partner if you're addicted, so that's the first problem here. I don't believed that someone will simply sit and talk to someone that they have lost so much money in gambling. I'll possibility cover things as much as I can, to avoid arguments until I start and wake up from my addiction. Good thing though that me and my partner are into gambling casino's and we go play at the same time so we know the effects and the money involved, so at the end of the day, there's no argument. If I'm in your shoes though, I will quit gambling slowly before everything is too late.

If you're the one who gets addicted, what possibilities can you do?

I am sure that I will get get addicted to anything any more. Yes, I was addicted to forex trading and lost some big money by the years of 2007 to 2008. I have learned some very big big lessons after ward about the life and people hence I believe I will never get addicted to anything including girls and drugs.

In recent times, I have noticed that I am searching for gambling strategies after heard about some stories on big winning in few gambling houses. But, within two days I just started about studying how houses may cheat us and then I stopped looking for methods to crack profits. Similarly, I have noticed that I am taking alcohol more frequently (yes, my name is beerloover), and once I realized I was getting addicted to that, I started to focus on my trading and now I am drinking yearly once or twice.

I request gamblers here NOT to focus on what you will do after got addicted but must focus on how to prevent addictions even you stay as a gambler. Prevention is always better than curing.

If you're the one who gets addicted, what possibilities can you do?

This is a hard question to answer, specially for addicted one because majority of them doesn't want to admit their addiction.

If you're gonna ask me, maybe I'll first have a serious discussion with my wife bout the money that I will gonna spend at the casinos then later on we could have an endless arguement that can lead us into nothing.

It's a bold move, but this should be a case to case basis. Not everyone's wife will totally agree with this approved.

If I get addicted maybe there is also a possibility that I will certainly blame people whenever I lose on a game. (That's the attitude that I have and I don't want it to show.)

And you? Would you be the same? Or even worst?

True. I have been in this situation before, I blame everyone, all the people from behind, even someone who sits beside me in a slot machine. lol. Until I realized that I've been too much in gambling because of that attitude, so what I do is control and reduced my gambling and be a responsible gambler. I don't want to be another person who's going to ruined his life, so I decided to just play and have fun and not worry about my winnings.

[bering]

Since this question only if and i will answer with my personal opinion that if i was being an addicted then i will asking my family to help me to cure my addiction because family influence will have big impact to cure addictions and i will more dicipline to heal it because addictions is dangerous disease and for long term effect it can ruin my life and my family so be honest about my conditions probably can help me to cure my disease

[eternalgloom]

Why would you blame someone else when you lose a game? That's one of the silliest things I've ever heard, I really don't understand the thinking behind that.
You really shouldn't blame anyone but yourself for losing a game, if your actions caused you to lose that game.

I don't see how anyone else's actions could cause you to lose a game. Except maybe in poker, but even there it's a combination of your own actions and someone else's.

[Siren]

I wouldn't waste my time talking to my wife, she'll not understand anyway.
Gambling is a man's game and usually a wife would not understand it unless he herself is also a gambler.

Yes she will not understand but if you explained to her for sure things will be sort with her,our wife must be our best friend because above anyone they are our strength,they are the one who can help us to understand things that we accidentally did specially wrong doings

For me i will talk to her ,i will confess and seek for advices because she is the most affected on this problem ,involving money matter our wife is the other hand that will feed our children’s

But i will try to do anything that i will never cross this bridge for all i want is my family’s goodwill

[cabalism13]

If I would be addicted, the first person I would go is my parents, they know me better and they have more experience than me
so I'm sure I can get some advise and the real help. No parents that wouldn't care for their children, though we mature in the world
but as long as they are still alive, they will always do their responsibility to guide us.

We should be honest and accept that we seek for help, otherwise, any advise we will receive will become useless.

I doubt you will ever do that, I might bet on having some arguements with your parents and asking them for money to get your behaviour into normal again. Getting addicted is really hard to make a contradiction in an easy manner.
But seeking for help to anyone is not a bad idea I guess.

but still most of the people using gambling very peacefully and making more money again and again so then how they are doing it properly without addiction are any tension It's all about how we handle any job we can find it will not get addicted to anything.

I will be also the same as you are said in your court that we can definitely addicted to gambling when we got and entered into this field when someone says about addiction that be a good advice so keep that advice and make more useful gambling and don't get addicted to it.

[khaled0111]

The worst thing about gambling addiction is that addicted person never admit it, he will keep repeating "I am doing it for fun" whenever someone warns him.

The responsibility is up on his family or friends to help him recover from his addiction.
If it was me, (hope it will never happen) I will talk with people who had the same problem and ask their guidance, also, I will start new activities.
The most important thing is to have someone who cares about you and will support you during your suffering.

[NavI_027]

The responsibility is up on his family or friends to help him recover from his addiction.

You should be the one who fix your personal issues first and foremost, not your parents. Yeah! You can seek for their  advices because it was a part of their responsibility as a parent since you were a child but now that you are slready mature then make your own act for the improving yourself and do not fully give the obligation of changing you into others.

If it was me, (hope it will never happen) I will talk with people who had the same problem and ask their guidance, also, I will start new activities.

I don't thi k it will be a good idea because if the other is struggling in the same condition and can't solve it either thrn how he will give solution to yours. What you need is an an adviser, it doesn't really importang whether it is a professional or not as long as it has a clear mind so that he can asses your problem properly.

[BitBustah]

Its not the worst addiction in the world, drugs can be far more damaging on your wallet and health.  I think it is very important to have a very close support system of friends that you can talk to in your tough times.  Just remember that everything is temporary and nothing will last forever.

I don't know about that.. Sure drugs can be very damaging to your health, but I think gambling is probably the most expensive addiction out there.
Think about it, someone who's severely addicted to gambling will spend every last penny in his pocket.

Most drug addicts will still get by somehow, gambling addicts usually end up selling their house etc.

It's addiction, a serious disease inside your minds where you need personal care and guidance, if you are willing to be cured, the right thing to do is to admit your problem then seek for help with your closes relatives or friend, if you are already in  a high level of addictions seeking for good psychiatrist
will help you to find ways to eliminate this issue inside your minds.

Help from your love ones is the best counter if you are not that addicted yet.
 

[Heisenberg_Hunter]

Addiction to anything including gambling is dangerous sickness or probably can be considered as a non-curable disease. I have gone through extreme addictions right from internet, movies, technology, news, gambling and have came out of them over the years. I was once a torrenter who would upload and download around 20-30 GB's of data per day which includes movies, games, comics and books. I have bought a server for maintaining those stuffs and the size of my collection ranges somewhere around from 15-20 Tb. I came out of that insane addiction by distancing myself from the online world for more than a 5 months. If you couldn't resist yourself from turning on your PC/mobile, try to give them off to your friends. Addictions and cures would probably be taken care by myself completely and I don't depend upon others during such times. Later on I got addicted to bitcoin and the cryptocurrency technology and I spend somewhere around 5 hours per day reading through the technical documentation and the code.

During the beginning of my crypto addictions, I have been part of gambling addictions. Those lasted for not just a month or so and that was seen to be quite dangerous to me for losing all my money. I distanced myself over the course of months from Gambling and rather would invest the same money in promising alts during the dips.

As long as you don't realize that you became addicted to gambling, then there is no way you will stop. Like you said, you will be blaming people when you lose money on a game. This "blaming" people is just an excuse for you to continue gambling and avoid the confrontation. Since you know that you might get addicted to it, then don't gamble at all in the first place.
Maybe I wouldn't be the same, but how would I know? I am not an addict.
