When you say cured? Does it mean someone who is a compulsive gambler before who completely stopped gambling? Or those who were addicted and, can now overcome their urge and play casually? I use to gamble a lot before, but now I gamble casually and I would say I was able to take gambling out of my system.

I felt that my day is incomplete without gambling, but now I don't feel the need or urge to gamble. I think the key is your drive to control your self. Any habit that is not healthy, even difficult must be stopped.

I have not been addicted yet but I have seen people who were deeply addicted and cured themselves after fighting hard.Of course the number of persons I have seen being able to do this for me can be counted with the fingers of one hand only.They had one thing in common,big motivation to quit gambling and they were all recovered in professional centers against gambling addiction.I have not seen anyone yet being able to do this completely by himself but I hope these persons also exist.

It's hard to find that people here since in the first place we are in gambling discussion board but maybe there are several guys here are compulsive gamblers but if they are still playing up till now maybe they are not totally cured since they are back in this luck base business again.

But actually if people need to seek help for their gambling addiction maybe the best person they need is their family members since they are the one who will give a helping hand and advices for you on what you should do, but if your gambling addiction is worse then maybe a professional help is needed for this.

I think the better solution there is a total discipline. Many gamblers problem is their lack of control and this usually tend to continue even though they dont have anymore funds for gambling and will resort to anyway just to have money and play again.

I felt that my day is incomplete without gambling, but now I don't feel the need or urge to gamble. I think the key is your drive to control your self. Any habit that is not healthy, even difficult must be stopped.

But controlling yourself isnt easy especially for those people who used to it on gambling. We can easily say that, but for others its really hard to say. Its almost same with smoking which is naturally hard to remove if its on our system and our body is looking for it. Same goes with gambling which our mind searching and our body has no choice but to follow.

Curing it will take time but preventing you from frequent gambling can, seek advise for a rehab or medicine to loosen up your mind.

if the highlighted part is the question then i may consider myself as one,i use to be almost addicted(almost because for me addict are those who are total wrecked because of gambling)because at some point my parents cannot handle me anymore and there are times when i am borrowing money from friends just to gamble,but what cures me?is the faith of my family that i will change and their Love for me,also with the Help of trusting them as well.

I felt that my day is incomplete without gambling, but now I don't feel the need or urge to gamble. I think the key is your drive to control your self. Any habit that is not healthy, even difficult must be stopped.

or diversionary things mate?other things that will help us become busy specially when the urge of gambling is dipping into our mind.

I've been an addict since before I realized that it is not a good way to kill my time and to earn money at the same time, I am slowing downplaying since I want to really stop playing gambling, I've tried stopping it instantly but after some time I got back and played again at a regular basis, Now I'm on a process of reducing my activities on playing gambling, I think I got rid of the addiction and I can control now the urge to play gambling. I also set a limitation on myself on playing.

Firstly a good way is to decide that you are getting it wrong by gambling too much and this itself is the first win for you . Try and develop some new hobbies and enrol yourself into new activities which you like or passionate about . I have seen this really helps and people after some times leave gambling or can easily start away from it as they get busy in other stuff in their life .

[cryptoaddictchie]

To be honest that would be hard to prevent especially if the person is really hooked already.

I read that there are people who are addicted in gambling but they are successfully cured from addiction.

I'm thinking they resorted to a more reliable option such as rehabilitation or confining themselves away from a gambling site or place. It's more like a disorder rather than a disease cause the person its not actually sick but just being caught with his habit.

I think I got rid of the addiction and I can control now the urge to play gambling. I also set a limitation on myself on playing.

That's the best prevention before addiction eat you. Control and limitation the only one who could more likely to help out you is yourself but the abovementioned ideas could also help.

[Ailmand]

or diversionary things mate?other things that will help us become busy specially when the urge of gambling is dipping into our mind.

Yup, diversion is a good way too. However, I emphasize self discipline, control and limiations as mentioned by cryptoadditchie. No one can help you but your self. Not any hobby, diversion, family or friends. Because no matter how many people advice you to stop gambling, or how many diversions you have or even if you go to a shrink, if you don't want to fight your urge to gamble it is all for nothing.

That's the best prevention before addiction eat you. Control and limitation the only one who could more likely to help out you is yourself but the abovementioned ideas could also help.

Self control or not getting attached to "cute things" in casinos... This is self-help method. The second method should be from gambling owners, they should remove things that get people attached to their casinos, especially the bad thing that ads no value to the live of their customers. In my opinion, people should be able to bet on things as long as they're non-harmful things, and done in moderation. *Safe betting* should be encouraged more by casinos.

a disease is something that is related to physical body but gambling addiction is a kind of mental disorder so i think its inapropriate to call it a disease  but using the word cure is okay   .  its called cure/cured when you get over of that unpleasant feeling that you feel  . only few here have cured thier addiction  . those few of those ask for the help of our fellow members here for an adivices while some self cured themselfves  . some have ask for profesional help from the psychiatrist   .

In my previous post here, I said I somewhat was able to help stop my gambling addiction because I lost my job, thus my income. So that is the last straw for me. Obviously, when you don't have the means to gamble then you will simply have to stop, at least in my case.

And when I started to bounce back and slowly recovered, I simply lost my interest to gamble again. I really learn a hard lessons during that time, that's why I don't want to go to that bad experience. I just gamble today just a few times and with just small amount of money.

[sheenshane]

Count me in! Back in the days, I remember myself getting loans from microfinance and asking my families to lend me money so I could use to make a bet for a day and hope to win. But the truth is, you will never know you are already addicted to gambling until you see your financial status going down. When you get to that point, that is when you will realize that its time to stop.

What helped me on moving on from my addiction was meditation. The moment I learned how to meditate was the best thing that ever happened to me and I am really grateful for it. When I learned meditation, I realized that I am responsible for everything I do. My consciousness went to its highest potential. I hope I could help someone today and this forum as well, it will educate people about gambling.

I'm not totally addicted but base on my opinion the cure depends with their emotional take. I mean depending how they will overcome it.
Like doing other activities, with the help of peers and being committed somebody else. These factors can help an addicted gambler to cure himself but if still doesn't help, he needs a professional help from a psychiatrist or emotion counsellor.

[mersal]

Gambling neither a disease nor a problem so what is actually the problem is addiction!

There are gamblers who stick with their limits and have control over their gambling activities so not all gamblers are addicted to it but once someone got addicted then it will take time to realize they are really addicted to it.

Methods involving to cure from addiction is self realizing the issue and get your control over the thing which is controlling you.

I've written about that in the past

I can't say I was ever addicted to gambling as such but as a youth I was definitely addicted to video games. Indeed, the consequences of this addiction are incomparable to what addictive gambling can cause and wreak, in financial terms first and foremost. But other than that, it is the same thing essentially as I suspect is the case with any addiction, whatever that might be

So any method would do as long as you come to understanding from deep within how dangerous and harmful your addiction is. Most certainly, this understanding requires some painful catharsis to go through which proves that you really learned your lesson. After that, you simply lose interest in what caused your addiction (drugs, alcohol, games, etc), which is the ultimate cure if you ask me. There's no urge, and thus there's no need to control and fight it

Let me share my experience.
I was addicted when I started in bitcoin, I am into a gambling game which is the satoshimines. I always play it everywhere I am, always holding my mobile phone and playing silently. At first, I always win, this is when my addiction gets started until the days come that I received consecutive losses which lead me to be broke. That is when I realized the importance of money, I experience how hard it is to live without money and how deeply I regret all my actions in the past. Since then, even if I play (card games) I don't feel the same feeling as I have before, I can now limit my game time and how much money I spend.

I don't have any methods or anything that force me to stop immediately, but the realization of my actions helps to make me stop being addicted to gambling before.

[bering]

Luckly until now i never being an addiction gambling although i did gamble but so far i can control myself however this story based on my uncle experience that he was being an addicted gambling few years ago and he was spend all of his wealth into gambling table although he regretting it but he cannot stop to gamble and he asking help to his family to help him to quit from addicted and after several months mental therapy he declared cured by the doctor and he says too besides go to doctor family support also have important role to help addiction

[YuginKadoya]

In my opinion, there are certain people that have come back from being a compulsive gambler to not an addicted anymore, and I think there are therapeutic methods that needed for that to happen, A compulsive gambler really need to accept to himself that he is really addicted and accept the fact that he is really going into a problematic scenario in his life that needs some attention,

And if he truly accepts the fact that he really is then that is the time he would accept that he needs medical attention and ready the procedure of getting him into a rehab facility and begins his Therapy session.
