Ways to recover from being addicted in gambling.

[LogitechMouse]

If someone is already addicted it is difficult for the individual to make a stop in that person's addiction, the same thing for the heavy gambler.

Heavy gambler and an addicted gambler are somewhat the same since they are both addicted into it and stopping gambling for them are really hard and there are many things that you need like family help, experts in mental things, discipline etc.

There are many ways to recover from being addicted to gambling and most of them are already stated here. Now the problem is not all of the gamblers can do it for some reasons. Yes we can say that our family will be a big help in recovering but what if we don't have any family members near then it will be hard for the gambler.

As @YOSHIE said, if you can stop doing things that you are already addicted with like liquor or cigarette addiction then it will be easy for them to stop gambling. In the end, it will be go down to how discipline you are and how strong your willpower is. If you really want to stop then you will do everything to stop and vice versa.

There are so many gamblers in this virtual world or even in the real life, there are some that can be considered as a compulsive gambler or those really addicted in gambling. That is the worst thing that you may acquire in gambling, in which that all the things that you are usually doing are now nothing, you are only focused on gambling, even your relationships on your friends and family are affected.

Most effective way to recover will be to be determined to stop gambling yourself. Addiction is a disease and should be treated with serious caution. Like other addiction (like the like of drug, alcohol addiction etc), the gradual reduction in their intake can be reference when dealing with gambling addiction. You should limit yourself in both the time and fund you spend gambling.

Assuming you spend hours gambling or thousands of dollars, it should be reduced to minutes and hundreds of dollars respectively until you can finally declare yourself free from gambling addiction. Don't rush the process, it's a gradual process so give it time.

Addiction is a disease and should be treated with serious caution.

Definitely. It is a serious problem among gamblers. Every party should contribute to support the way to recover the addicted gamblers. Not only their family but they also need helps from their close friends, experts, and neighborhood. If the addicted gamblers have been at a severe level, they must visit professionals or experts of mental health regularly.

What about limiting your budget for gambling ?
The limited budget for gambling will not allow you to become addicted to gambling, because once you are out of your budget you will automatically quit it for the day or week, according to your plan. The less funds you allocate to gambling, the better you will remain safe from the risks of losing money.

That could work for those that are not addicted to gambling so they develop the discipline to only gamble when they have enough funds to do so, but for the person that is addicted to gambling such a thing will not work since he does not have the self-control necessary to pull it off,  besides it can be argued whether or not an addicted person will even think of something like that as most of them do not think they have a problem, the best thing to do is to receive professional help and for the most part to avoid the temptation to gamble again.

That is the worst thing that you may acquire in gambling, in which that all the things that you are usually doing are now nothing, you are only focused on gambling, even your relationships on your friends and family are affected.

I want to help those people who really abused by the gambling, let me list down all possible solution that they may use to recover from being addicted in gambling.
1. Focus on your family or friends - if you have strong relationship with your family and friends then you will forget to play gambling, and they may help you to limit yourself from gambling.
2. List all things that were affected by gambling - if you can see all the things that were affected because of gambling then you may realize that it has no goods to give you, then I hope that it makes you think to stop gambling.
3. Read and Search about gambling addiction - if you can see all people that have been affected because of gambling then you may stop from being addicted on it, there are some people's life that already destroyed because of gambling.
4. Meet and visit experts or professionals about mental health - If you really want to limit yourself from gambling, but you can't then you may visit some experts and listen to their advise.

Yeah, nice points you got there. But, you really need to put the fourth point on the top. You can't just magically start focusing on your friends/family and recover yourself from gambling addiction. For this to happen, you will need professional help. Those professional will advice you on how to recover from gambling addiction. They will guide you on a proper way without causing any kind of harm to your life.
Realizing that they are addicted to gambling is actually the first step of recovering from gambling addiction.

Realistically, nearly all of this requires a significant amount of willpower to implement.

Sometimes an addiction doesn't need to be cured, because the damage is either minimal or trivial, whereas other times it does need intervention but the person lacks the willpower/resources to do so.

I recommend that anybody who has suffered serious financial detriment because they are unable to control themselves should implement time locks on their funds.

Time locks, remove access to your funds (hand it over to a trusted third-party) and develop coping strategies for when your urges begin to kick in.

Sometimes, addicted gamblers don't want to tell their family or friends because they don't want other people to know about their addiction. But somehow, their family can know that something has been happening to that person because they can see what he did every day closely so they can guess that person might get addicting to gambling.

Visiting professionals will help that person to solve the problem, but it will better if he can visit with his family so his family can know what they need to do to help that person. Having another activity is necessary to distract his mind from thinking about gambling so he can slowly leave gambling.

Nice advises but for me this all has been given here for so many times but still gamblers become addicted more since it is their choice no matter what we do to help them out.

Because it is them whom will decide if what their future heading we are only here to advise but its their call.

Point number one is very important, if you have a loving and strong family, there is no way you will turn to gambling, because gambling will turn you away from your family, and of course you do not want to be away with your family, I have not seen a loving and responsible father gambling to much to the point of neglecting the family.

Yes and being a close family also means you will always have someone around you to talk with you and you don't get spare time to spend in gambling and that is one reason why families where the father goes to job and the mother goes to job and the children are alone they always feel alone and are more prone to gambling and other addictions. Another point that will amaze you is that, single child has more chances of such addictions because if he/she has a sibling then they would always talk to each other and such addictions are less common.

Once you are actually addicted though, there is only one solution and that is to visit a proper mental healthcare and get yourself proper treatment because once you are into gambling no family can save you if your addiction is severe.

its actually easy to defeat that addiction , what will be the important things you do?

Forget to play instead make it your family as your priority have bonding time with them instead of using your time playing. Make other habbit that can make you happy with your family not with your self alone.

Yes, they decided that too. But if the addicted person to gambling is someone that we know very close, I think we need to show to him that being addicted cannot make them get the money from gambling. They will only add more problems to their lives without they see a chance to solve the problem itself. We need to make them realize that what they did is wrong, and we need to help him to stop gambling and cure the addiction. I am sure that one day, they will realize the wrong thing that they already made, and they will want to solve the problem.

I think it depends how deep is your addiction. Sometimes its easy to said than done to stop and focus on your family instead. But there are type of gamblers who cant control themselves anymore and this kind of gambler need a professional help and a support from family. Knowing the risk and possible consequences if you're a new gambler is a must to prevent yourself from being addicted.

[MRKLYE]

As a former addicted gambler who is still very much paying for it I can tell you that it is mind over everything..

Stop chasing that high, stop chasing that loss. Gambling isn't a means of making money, but rather an expensive form of entertainment that can cost you hundreds or thousands of dollars.
When you step back and realize that chances are you are going to lose, that that high of winning will eventually come to an end at a great financial cost, you realize it isn't worth it.

As someone who understands how these gambling games work, and the mathematics behind them, in the short term you can win, long term you will always lose. That is how the math works.

Ask yourself this before you bet: Is winning a bit of crypto in the short term worth losing it all and feeling like shit in the long term?

If the person is genuinely want to get away with this then I think everybody will support him/her as nobody would like their own person to get into gambling and spoil their own life. Only thing is that one should not be cheating that on one side show as if not into gambling anymore and on other side continue to gambling beacuse once this is known then no one will believe that person and no one will even care to help out to overcome from such addiction .

I agree to that, people who loves you will support your will to step away from gambling. Those people around you will be there to help and assist
you to whatever stake that you needed them.
Recovering is not from other people but it's needed to be in your own self decision. the will to quit and the help by those who supports you will be
enough to removed you from this addiction.

I think there is only one thing that is most important in this case is about awareness in yourself because with you have awareness, then surely you will have a wiser mindset not to spend a lot of your time and money in gambling so, gambling will not make your life ruined and you will not be a dangerous gambling addict.

Unfortunately, if you are in the situation of trusting gambling too much because you already win a decent amount, losing isn't an easy thing to accept. You might really bet more than your limits and merely your personal decision would not help you stop it but you might need an outside intervention to simple remind you that you could lose allot in gambling.

So to those who have their family members really IN to gambling, a simple reminder to limit their bets would really help. As our goal is to earn and to keep our family being separated.

I'm not really gambling too much, but I have read allot about being addicted in gambling that is why I always limit my bets to amounts that I am okay or I can afford to lose.

No matter what type of addiction one has, it is really hard to get out of its charm. One needs rehabilitation along with full time support of family. I strongly believe that one has to take measures in the beginning of gambling regarding gambling addiction by limiting money and time rather than waiting for getting addicted.

[qomariah95]

The way I stop or recover from gambling is to think of finances, because I imagine how much money I wasted playing gambling. With that I will start to realize and try not to play gambling again. although this method does not work right away, because indeed we must fight not to play gambling.

Everyone has their own way of dealing with problems to stop playing gambling.

The less funds you allocate to gambling, the better you will remain safe from the risks of losing money.

This is the method I am using in order to not be dragged into gambling addiction. Everytime I am playing gambling games, I do make sure that I would limit myself on an amount, for example $200 for that day, twice a week, if I would reach that limit, I made it a habit to stop and do other things. But this is not that easy, especially if you have huge loss, there will be an urge to again play in order to regain the loss, which is something to be avoided if you would be using this method.

It is another thing if you are already addicted into it. Professional help would really be a huge thing. Also, support and attention from your love ones. It won't be easy being on such condition because it is 'urge' that you would battle, meaning, you are depriving yourself from the satisfaction, gambling is giving to you.

As I have said, it is not that easy. It would undergo a process, little by little. One won't be able to get over gambling addiction in an instant. But I do agree that oneself would be the one that would make a change for themselves, it is a matter of choice. No matter how huge the support is, if that person won't do something about it, then nothing would happen.

It ain't a problem for me since I know when to stop.

I just bring the money which I like to gamble and after all of it is gone then I will just walk away. Maybe I will back next week or a couple of weeks.
If I win though then it will be a different story.
I could go way long into just playing the game specially poker.
My longest play is like 8 hours straight. Just changing seats if I get bored with my past table.
