Decisions for a better life

[owengtam09]

We all know that being an addicted gambler is a very tough spot in our life, but what if you need to decide what to choose, your addiction or your family? i.e., the given situation will be that you need to decide on the spot if you want to pursue your "career" in gambling or make a good simple life with your family? what will you choose?

Family is more important than anything else. Money is nothing if there is no Family, we earn money and we work hard because of our family, so it is pretty obvious that we choose family over gambling. Maybe this question is for those who are too much attached to gambling that can't control their mind playing gambling. Maybe it is hard for them to choose of the two.

This is so true that generally people work for family and give them priority . At times they will not buy anything for themself but will fulfill the other people needs and if anything left then they buy for oneself . But those who get addicted to gambling may find it difficult as it involves money and certain humans are greedy more than their family .

I think OP needs to make it clear, is it career or addiction? Gambling can be a career like a professional poker player does. Or you can also be the house, it is in line with gambling as well. Addiction is different. The gambler does not have control of his gambling habits.

Well, if you are an addict, you have limited choices actually unless you commit yourself to get cured by getting professional help. If I am an addict, it will be hard to choose family because addiction will make it hard for you to let go of the habit.

But if it is a career, then Family is the choice. I can always find another career if gambling is a conflict with my love ones.

People's bad experiences with gambling have made many to see it as evil... It is just as some people can get criticized for drinking alcoholic wine by those who dislike alcohol. It boils down on moderation. Things that have little to no harmful effects when taken in moderation shouldn't be a problem.

I agree with this. I'm a family oriented person and I'm very close to my family and for me, they are the greatest gifts for me.

I will not and will never choose gambling or money over my family although if you are a money minded person, you will say "Your love with your family will be useless if you don't have money because your love can't make you buy necessities such as foods water etc." Probably, some of the addicted gamblers choose gambling over their family which is the worst decision a person can make.

Obviously, i will choose my family over my addiction in gambming because without my family i would be nothing and worthless, unlike if i choose gambling instead of my family, i would end up losing a lot of money and wasted most of my life. Gambling is only for entertainment and for fun, that is why you should not let yourself be attached in gambling too much.

good for you mate's because youre showing how much you love your family but me , im not that really attached to my mom , and my dad was also passed away when i was still a kid and we arent also close to each other  .  my bro was also not friendly to me so i sometimes feel the same  . for me its a tough decision to make because i also develop a gambling addiction a little only but not too much  . your last qoute was true that i feel useless or my love for them will feel empty if i cant provide them some cash to buy thier needs and for the house needs , so i just spend more time in gamble hoping to win   .

now, the family is my first priority and gambling is my 5th priority..  before marriage, I had been very devastated, because I let gambling control myself, now that after a family I realize that my wife and child are my primary responsibility, their lives depend on me.

The question is not simple, not easy, that is, it is easy from this point of view, of course it is a family, but when we are addicted we are usually not aware of the choice, of course we want a family but the gamble is dragging us.
Everyone wants to have a healthy and normal family, but envy usually kills it.
So we can't choose here, but a strong mentality can keep us from gambling.

[doomistake]

Also OP, learn what "addict" means,

I already know that, I don't know if do you?

and remove the mindset that all gamblers are " addicts" Thanks.

I can't recall myself having a mindset like that, I've stated my post crystal clear, but I can't prevent it if someone is going to misunderstood my post since we have different level of understanding, I'd recommend read it very slowly, you'll get my point.

I agree, but it looks like most of the people misunderstood the term that I used with a quotation mark on it, I was being sarcastic when I said "career", and of course professional gamblers are not included when I said that, because professional gamblers and amateur gamblers holds different mindset, pro have their passion and amateurs have their greed on it, just pure greed, they do have plan but later fall apart because they lost their money in gambling.

Read this, hope it will help to you guys to understand what I'm trying to say about my post to avoid further misunderstanding.

^ That is the reason why gamblers should have self discipline in order to control their selves from any temptations in gambling. When you are addicted, just something you commit promises from gambling and it is always in our mind to keep whispering just to gamble and even when we close our eyes we always saw in our imagine those gambling games we played. So, if you have a responsibility in your life just take this as your priority and set aside your gambling habit. Family is very important and it should always in our priorities.

when talking about careers, it will also be measured professionally, money management is more mature with strategies that come from accumulated experience, the principle of capital management is no longer merely biased from addiction. An established gambler is able to cover everything and not affect the family's needs subjectively. It is difficult to describe it more clearly because the abilities of each gambler are not the same.

Money management is the right thing if you are in a gambling habit. Of course, you can split your money into how many folds for those expenses that you have and spare a little amount that you can afford to gamble and not the entire budget that supposed to be for your family needs. Correct, educated gamblers are know everything and they know how to budget money.

thanks that you have given a  second chance because there are many gamblers that did not have recovered from their mistakes and end up nothing.

family is the greatest thing that will happen to every people so never waste time in anything less important than them,we will use all our life and power to give them what they need.

Some people do not like gambling so they keep talking wrong about it but in actual it’s good for those who know how to play it so keep learning and gamble with money you have extra with you. Gambling is liked and disliked by people equal so we should take out own decision and never rely on other peoples thinking.

A person should never have to think about this decision, unless they are estranged from their family or something. Succumbing to addiction is something nobody should ever do as it will just make your life worse than it already is.

If someone lived far away from his family, he is not thinking about his family for some time, and that can attract him to the gambling games. When he plays gambling, he can forget about his family, and that makes him use his money for playing in a long time. And it that is happened, he needs to pull himself from gambling and get away from the place before something worse happens to him. He needs to have a responsibility to himself and his money so he can protect his money from the loss in the gambling games.

but gambling addiction changes the personality of the individual that is why sometimes this things happen that family is being leveled in gambling.

if you are not aware,there are so many cases that a gambler has been left of family because of being desperate to stop them continuing their bad habit.

but you are also correct that it is estranged to choose between family and gambling because they are two different thing in reality.

Gambling or say money is such a thing that people forget the relationships in front of money and this I have seen it practically also . Only a self disciplined or say who have a good control can resist from such addiction else people are prone to it .

Me, I wouldn't even consider gambling as my priority or even include it because I don't want it and I don't want to get addicted into it. My family is my main priority at this moment and next is my future that is why I don't want to invest too much money in gambling. To all addicted gamblers who have family right now, stop gambling and focus on your family and you will never regret it .

bad thinking if gambling is made a top priority, although sometimes gamblers can benefit, if he neglects his family for gambling, then it is very likely that one's mentality has been disturbed and his gambling addiction can be detrimental to his future life.
