How can we overcome our gambling addiction!

[Janation]

it all depends on the level of addiction. Are they too bad? maybe it's true that they have to go to a therapist because it has entered their subconscious mind and has to change mindset to stop gambling. and this is the most important thing, find out what triggers made him gamble? and try to overcome it without gambling.

That is the thing.

After knowing what triggers them to gamble, it will always be the same after that, they still needed someone to be there with them. They should be able to have an alternative way to kill time and gambling should be out of those choices. The time that he feels alone, that time that he feels free and can do anything even in a slight time, their mind will go back to gambling again.

One who is addicted first of all will never hear anyone's words. It is the situation that has made a change in you. If you aren't into such situations surely you could've experienced the addiction for a long. Until and unless a person himself decides, it is impossible to get out of addiction. Getting close to religion should not happen forcefully.

Precisely, but at least, if we really care with him, we need to talk with him personally. If we can show our express that we really want to help him, in the end, he will accept us what our means. Sometimes we need to touch him deeply in his heart, so he knows that finally, someone wants to help him. That will need time before he realizes, but that is worth to try because we need to find the right time so we can get close to him and talk privately.

Overcoming gambling addicted can be very had most especially that you've lost almost everything already. In most cases, they become very addicted and won't stop at nothing until they recover their losses and the wort part is that they will still lose and as a result, lost everything. I think the best thing to do is seek professional help or rehabilitate your uncle because if he is already addicted your advises will be useless.

On those situations that an addicted person would be more addicted was due to despair, and this is a serious issue on the emotional side of a person. It needs self rehabilitation in which a family is needed to be with him on times of crucial and uncontrollable gambling. In order for him to overcome, taking vacation or trainings in financial litteracy should be taken diversion just to eliminate the spare time intended for gambling.

Once bitten, twice shy says a proverb after experiencing many losing streaks while gambling due to addiction I trained my mind to engaged in any meaningful activities like watching movies or sport just to erased the bitter experience and sad memories as result of losses incurred while gambling I believed overcoming gambling is a thing of the mind.

They need someone who won't tolerate their addiction, good if they have a family that are not gambling addicts also as they will be a big help.
your body is not looking for gambling unlike addiction in drugs or cigars, so anyone can stop abruptly, and stay away in gambling,.. in the end, people just need an inspiration to change and be cured from this kind of disease.

There's a story that my mom told me, it's about my uncle who once became a gambling addict that there comes a time where he sold most of their things in their house just to find money to gamble. The worst thing that my uncle did is to pledge their house just to satisfy his gambling pleasures.

I know it's not easy to overcome this situation especially when you're already in your point that you want to get back everything that you have lost. You keep on gambling thinking you can earn everything back. Actually, we're already lucky enough if we continuously win the game but even our luck has its own limitations. Without noticing it, our wins are slowly turning into losses.

I also know that some of us here will just put their attention on different things to avoid too much gambling. But in reality, it's just easy to say but harder to do. There's no easy way if you really got attached to gambling. But in your opinion or personal experiences, how do you overcome your addiction to gambling?

I'm sorry for your uncle. I'm a bit curious how he or his addiction ended up. How is he now? Does he have a family? The worst effect is definitely not only affecting the gambler himself but also his immediate family. For sure, an addiction reaching a stage like that is damaging to everyone around him.

That is true that it is easier said than done. But you really need to look for that thing that totally distracts you from gambling. With the help of your family and friends, I guess that can be addressed for as long as it is not yet at a worst stage.

not only killing time mate but also Buddy's that can be with them for those time they are struggling to win over gambling because this is not that easy as we say,because the eagerness to play and bet is always there and we alone cannot win this,but with people who can be with us and divert our mind into good things aside from winning money(or losing much better to say)i have known some people that forget addiction because of their family who does not leave them in times of trouble and always guides them towards reality that in gambling there is always one winner and that is the house.

Controlling gambling involves more of emotional maturity. Gambling addiction is a product of the habit uncontrolled from the early stage. To control addiction, research analyzed that you ignore the act 21 times and it will be over. For this to be possible it involves discipline. And inability to caution one's self is a clear sign of immaturity.it may be difficult to say here that some of those addictions could be spiritual too, and needs prayer.

I had a friend who was too addicted in gambling as high as he sold one of his restaurants and lost almost half of that money. Fortunately, his family got to know about this and we all helped him come over it. It was not easy and sometimes he did gambled but not for much money. I think anything which turns to addiction is not good.

Another thing is the willingness of the gambler himself.

We can't force a gambler to just stop his addiction, he needs to admit that he himself is addicted to gambling. Without him knowing, he will not be eager to fix his problem. He should know his problem so he can also push himself to be better.

This could be incorporated to other addicted things we do, in such a case that for me, I've been addicted to playing onkine games in a sense that I missed to eat in a right time, spent most of my money in comouter shops, but I found out that some recreational activities could possibly divert my attention to spend less time in gaming.

So in crypto gambling, we could aldo do it in a way that we spend allot of time in trading rather than betting.

is it possible for someone to become aware of addiction after experiencing something very bitter like something bad happened because of his doing? he should be able to realize himself because the true desire to recover from addiction is in us. but of course the guidance is necessary, but all back to him whether he has a very strong intention to change.

If you have an addiction it's hard to stop even I have read some news about addiction in gambling on spending money around $70k he did not realize that that much money had been used up by gambling.
But we must be able to control our emotions when gambling and also do not be happy playing gambling because if it is often or every day can become addicted because it is difficult to stop.

If you are deeply addicted you need help from your family and professional, I'm not that really addicted I can always find a way to not play even if I have money to play, there's a lot of things to do in life besides gambling, I only gamble at spare time and if time permit me.

Personal aid would be a great help in order to overcome something but sometimes we do need  professional help for us to achieve such. Addiction is really a serious thing, therefore we should give caution to other people before they become addicted into something especially in such activity as gambling in which many people are being too interested because money and profit is involved. At the end of the day, it is really ourselves who would be the biggest help in order to overcome addiction.

I don't think that overcoming gambling addiction is that easy especially if your body is always finding it.

Gambling addiction is very hard to overcome for some reasons. Your mind always says that you must gamble whatever happens everyday. Curiosity is one reason why people are getting addicted into gambling. Their playful minds are thinking that they must try gamble until such time that they will get addicted into it.

Aside from that, desire is another one. They are desire to win money in a short amount of time until the time will come that they will get addicted. Revenge is another. Gamblers who are losing everyday will try to get their money back until the time they are addicted.

How to overcome this? For me, the gambler who is addicted must seek help from other people like the experts and his family. They will be a great help for him. One way that I see too is that don't give him money at all .

He may realize that, in my case I did, that is why I agreed on going to therapies, I promise to be in the house after my job and be with my wife's side at weekends. It is tough, I cried every night regretting those money wasted in my addiction. Though, I have my wife comforting me, she helped me a lot.

Your uncle has a deep addiction and only professional help can map out a plan to get rid of that problem, although costly, he must be under the care of a professional help, or he will eventually ruin himself and his family, and he might go crazy I read stories of people losing their minds because of gambling.

It always start with mind conditioning, if a person already condition his mind in gambling, the body will follow.

I remember my grandpa who is old enough and he is not really feeling most of the time, but comes Sunday as his schedule for cock fighting, he will then feel so healthy like he is still at his young age, .. that's how gamblers feel, and some does not even play sleepy when playing cards because of the excitement and fun they are getting.
