Gambling addiction threads

[Reatim]

Does the gambling discussion here about gambling addiction help you reducing your gambling activities or helps you to think that you need to change?

Most likely, NO. Main reason is, a addicted person couldn't realized that he is fall in addiction. Its same like if you ask a mad that are you mad? Simply he will answer NO. It's just not about gambling, any kind of addicted person can't realized they are on addiction. Even some people realize it but very low percentage and only they could leave addiction when they don't have enough money for gambling.

and they are mostly hated to be asked,most of them are in denial and don't even believe that they are in addiction just like what you've said.

but there are also little part of addict that starts to realize what they are missing and now getting some changes.

also the discussions here are sometimes reliable so i think at least we can learn even small part for future.

 I need to change the previous wrongdoings a typical addicted gambler has. Isn't the first step we shall do to lessen the addiction is to reduce gambling activities?
 
 I've been there, done that. We bust, we say we can leave gambling. But then we come back to gamble. That's addiction. Reality is that, we always want to feel how to win in gambling again. That is why we are very eager to gamble more and wanted to recover the losses. Not realizing, the more we wanted to recover the more we tend to lose.
 
 It's a matter of self control. Reflect yourself so you will realize of what type of a gambler are you already in. It's hard to fight addiction. But with a strong mindset and self control, we still can. Noone will gonna help us but ourself.

yeah it does that is why OP is asking about the chance of making this section as a valid proof to lessen our addiction from reading topics and replies here in gambling threads.

I've been there, done that. We bust, we say we can leave gambling. But then we come back to gamble. That's addiction. Reality is that, we always want to feel how to win in gambling again. That is why we are very eager to gamble more and wanted to recover the losses. Not realizing, the more we wanted to recover the more we tend to lose.

but addict cannot realized that fact instead they will always look for reason to justify their deeds.
 

It's a matter of self control. Reflect yourself so you will realize of what type of a gambler are you already in. It's hard to fight addiction. But with a strong mindset and self control, we still can. Noone will gonna help us but ourself.

i tend not to agreed on this,because No One be saved if we will only rely on ourselves ,but all we have to do is accept other people to enter your life and lead you to better tomorrow.

I don't believe that an addict can't realize his wrongdoings until I myself realize the negative effects on myself being an addict. This instantly trigger me to start to change. I know many addicts just justify their deeds because they can't accept the fact that their lives are going to their lowest point in life.

It's a matter of self control. Reflect yourself so you will realize of what type of a gambler are you already in. It's hard to fight addiction. But with a strong mindset and self control, we still can. Noone will gonna help us but ourself.

I think it is depending on the person, I know that on your perspective, People can't change without the help of other people but some people are grown independent and can do and realize things on their own. I know some people actually and even me, I am proud that I start to change on my own realization.

I have read so much thread about gambling, there are a lot of informative posts that I have read in gambling section, which is really helpful for everyone who is facing gambling addiction, there are testimony about being addicted and being cured because of many reasons. I have learned that if you feel like you are being addicted on gambling, your family and your friends are the main thing that may help you to recover yourself from being addicted, they may give you some advise which can make you realize how good is life without gambling, because gambling can destroy our life, it makes us being unproductive, it makes as mentally unhealthy, physically unhealthy, etc.

I think those threads have positive impacts on our state of mind.
The more you see addiction threads, read about peoples experience, how they recovered, and their present state of mind as gamblers, Makes us / you develop this self believe that we / you can equally do the same and be free from addiction

So yes, this gambling discussions has helped alot.

[ethereumhunter]

we always want to feel how to win in gambling again.

I think that is because our curiosity becomes bigger than we can imagine, so that makes us come back on the other days. We realize that gambling can make us getting another loss, but on the other side, we want to know how to win in gambling.

It's a matter of self control. Reflect yourself so you will realize of what type of a gambler are you already in. It's hard to fight addiction. But with a strong mindset and self control, we still can. Noone will gonna help us but ourself.

Yes, it's always about self-control. If we can always control ourselves in gambling, I am sure that we can prevent from the addicting, and we don't have to worry if we are playing gambling.

Many threads here can be a good lesson for people who feel they addicted to gambling so they can try to change their mind to prevent the addicting. If they can do it, I am sure they will think that it is good to avoid addicting.

Posts in this thread can also contribute to this discussion since all we care is the addiction https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5231217.0 this may help answering some question also but of course this is not what the topic really talks about.
i am not addicted so i don't know how to answer this literally but for my opinion?addicted gamblers that starting to have realization might consider posts here as added reason for them to stop but not the main way.

[LogitechMouse]

Yes, it's always about self-control. If we can always control ourselves in gambling, I am sure that we can prevent from the addicting, and we don't have to worry if we are playing gambling.

In addition to this, controlling ourselves will protect us not just from getting addicted from gambling but in whatever decisions we can do in our life. There are many scenarios that we need to decide sometimes and if we can control ourselves, it will help you decide better.

Many threads here can be a good lesson for people who feel they addicted to gambling so they can try to change their mind to prevent the addicting. If they can do it, I am sure they will think that it is good to avoid addicting.

I have read so many threads here and commented on them base on my own experience in gambling too. I wish that some of the threads here in gambling helped the gamblers to realize that they've spending their money in a wrong way. That they must stop gambling at all or if they can't then they can just limit themselves.

[bitcoinst]

I think that partly the answer will be yes and partly no. After all, it is quite difficult for a person with an addiction to recognize and understand that he has an addiction.

However, reading all the comments that users leave here, a person can realize that he makes the same mistakes and is in the same conditions as other people who are here with game addiction.
Thus, he may well realize that he is addicted, which in turn will lead to the understanding that this harms him.

[John Russell]

For me being addicted to gambling is not a good character although being good in gambling gives you such benefit but being addicted to it will possibly destroy your life even your relatives and companion will be affected.As soon as possible change your habit or else you will suffer at the end.

[Krislaw]

Those threads helps me realize what's wrong about myself and what should i do to limit my addiction to gambling, those threads are real life scenarios and it's good that they cope up with their addiction, Because gambling is a dangerous kind of addiction you won't stop until you win or until your money depletes because it gives some kind of euphoria when you win something and it will make you gamble more, it slowly destroy your system and immerse you in gambling more and more so i'm looking in opinions of others so knowing that i'm not the only one experiencing it.

In reality, I see there are only a few here who really become addicted to gambling that needs serious attention. There are lots of threads about advice and how to get help on how to overcome being addicted to gambling but even how simple and easy those instructions, it's hard to do if the gambler itself didn't experience being in that situation.

I'm hoping that there are really gamblers here who got help by some threads here even for a few but as we know, from gambler's point of view, reading those long advice is boring and they will just realize that they should read those pointers after they lose big.

There's some point of threads are helpful especially to those gambler who are now experiencing an addiction through gambling. These threads give some gambler to realize their mistakes but the only one who can help them is theirself and the people whose around to gambler addict to support to overcome the addiction.

People always need someone to give them advice on how to overcome their problems in gambling. Every gamblers need some discipline and encouragement for them not to ruin their lives in wasting their money. Most of the gamblers are experiencing stress, depression and greediness that's why they have a hard time focusing on their work. You're lucky enough to read those opinions and advice, the only thing you need is to apply and practice it for you to really know the value of self-discipline. No one wants to ruin their lives just because of money, that's why gambling is just for people who want to become entertained and modify the stress they have. Some people are making a constructive advice so that it is not boring to read, professional gamblers are legit and easy to communicate with.

[Janation]

I hope it really did.

I am not addicted but I did learn some good suggestions and recommendations from a lot of people here. To be honest, some of those things I am still doing and started doing. As I said, I am not addicted so most of that help is to monitor my winnings and losses and I realized that I am losing a lot than winning so I really reflected on that.

[ethereumhunter]

That is right. No matter if we are in hard situations, with having control in ourselves, we can see the way to prevent that thing. We can protect ourselves by remembering that in gambling, our chance to become addicted will bigger so we can apply something to avoid that.

Many threads here can be a good lesson for people who feel they addicted to gambling so they can try to change their mind to prevent the addicting. If they can do it, I am sure they will think that it is good to avoid addicting.

I wish that some of the threads here in gambling helped the gamblers to realize that they've spending their money in a wrong way. That they must stop gambling at all or if they can't then they can just limit themselves.

We have the same hope for that. We need to know ourselves, making a limit in gambling is necessary to prevent the worst thing that could happen. We can also help them who feel that they are addicted to gambling by advice to do something else than to stay in the gambling places. But the first thing that they need to do is realizes how long they stay in the gambling places so they can feel that if they are addicted to gambling or not.

I became an addicted gambler before but its been few years already and I overcome those moment right before I joined here. Thus these threads about gambling addiction didnt help me because im already over it however it help me realize my past mistakes and can also relate to their problems about gambling. Its not really easy to overcome gambling addiction but advices can help a gambler to think or change if he is really determine to stop.

[Meowth05]

I don't think it helps a lot because if people are addicted then they are ignorant to their flaw because they are afraid that people will judge them and that they think that they don't have a problem. This threads only help people who are trying to help gambling addicts. In short, these threads don't cure addiction but helps other people who are trying to cure gambling addicts.

Could not measure it all. But it gives me an idea, and somehow a feeling of being in their shoes you know a feeling of being portrayed by someone. Well may be there were people here who have been highly influenced by such threads/stories because they are truly useful as for someone who are looking for a person who behaves as they are. Since it is tough to listen to somebody who didn't knew the experience, who didn't knew being in their place, just a someone who are giving words of advice out of what they think are beneficial compared to someone who have been through it all a lot, much credible I mean much believable.

[bitbunnny]

Even if someone starts to.talk about gambling addiction it's a good begininig.
We all know that the hardest thing is to recognize and admitt that you have a problem with gambling addiction and discussiions here could also be a good start in solving that issue. Of course, threads on forum are not the cure, very often professional help is needed but still they also could be support for community members with problems.
Selfcontrol is the key and gamblers mustn't allow for gambling to rule their lives. If gambler comes to.that phase then it's very hard to get out of it.

[butcherme]

Gambling addiction threads help me realize that if i don't stop, it will destroy my life.
