Gambling issues? Read this!

[kotajikikox]

If gamblers can only afford reading and understanding this thread?for sure many will be saved from losing money and losing their future .
there are many gamblers that cannot really accept their problem an instead continuing as if there is no problem at all.

Every gambler knows sites and places like this but the main problem of these addicted gamblers is that they don’t agree that they are addicted and don’t listen to persons telling them to stop.The ones who realize that they have become addicted they call the above services and go there to seek help without any additional advice.

not exactly, there are gamblers(I know someone personally) who know and admitted that they are addicted to gambling but chose not to take any help because the urge to gamble is too strong. these kind of people are almost impossible to help and the hardest to rehabilitate if they ever to choose to go to a rehabilitation center.

nope those you have mentioned only "Knows" that they are addicted but they are not accepting it because if does?for sure they will seek help as the problem is very serious and need some help.

In short, they can't accept that they aren't addicted already into gambling but it is very obvious that they already are.

Some of the people who want to help the gambler to recover from gambling addiction are forced to do bad things like using brute force just to carry the gambler and give some advice etc etc. Most of the gamblers don't even realize that they are addicted already. I have experienced getting addicted into something already but not gambling but in playing online games. I spend most of my time playing and my sleeping hours is heavily affected too. Fortunately, I've managed to recover from it and now playing at a specific time.

For those gamblers, seeking help from different experts is the best thing to do if you really want to recover from gambling addiction.

Mostly I see suicide when they are buried with loans just for their gambling habit.
They won't stop until they get it all back without paying attention to how much they owe to people.

It ain't normal. Just use what is in your pocket.
I have also seen guys pawn their gold accessories, car, and stuff they bring in casinos.
Forgot that it should just be an entertainment.

People who are addicted are hard to give advice because they do not think that advice is good, but with relatives or family that is the reason why gamblers should be close to them I am sure this problem will be overcome with enough time because it is not easy for addictions to Stop.

But they will play any means to bet and stay at home because that is the reason to avoid being advised by good people, so it must be controlled by it.

I explored these sites in more detail and found that in one organization, people are helping, who have overcome addiction themselves. Their advice will be especially valuable because they have been through it themselves.

It would also be useful to create a topic with links to similar organizations from all over the world, not just from Australia.

Also, those gambling addicts should not be forced to give an advice to undergo rehab as most of the time they will reject it. Let them realize on their own that they need to change, because they will just deny the help if it is served on a platter. It is always better for them to look on their own mistakes and decide for themselves if they are going to change for the betterment of themselves or not.

Any help will never be superfluous, especially if it is free. Perhaps the story of a former gaming addict can encourage people to start fighting their addiction. After all, it is always better to gain experience from other people's mistakes than from your own.

When something is in offer for free then most of the people don't give any attention to it.

And one who already addicted will never agrees that he got addicted so only others have to help the addicted persons to get away from it like family members or friends should contact the service and ask how we should proceed with their loved one's case.

For me, the family of gambling addicts is the one who can say if the person is addicted to gambling. And they should be the ones to help them. People will only realize when they are already suffering from addiction. The role of the family and friends are really needed for a gambling addict to conquer its addiction.

I doubt that the family of these ill people will surely help them in the first place. Mostly, the family members are not the one who will actually help to mitigate the problem but rather they just make the scenario even worse. The only option could be your bestfriend or any other people who will give an attention to your problem.

It depends on how the family makes actions. Of course, not every family can help them. Like you say, sometimes the family can trigger them more. But there are families who know how to handle this kind of situation. Your family members are the ones who can first see the changes in you, and they are the ones who can give attention to it. Personally, I think that friends are just friends. They don't have any responsibility to you unlike your family, but you are still lucky if you have that friend who is willing to help you overcome your addiction. Just like what they say, your family is always there for you (although it does not apply to every family).

We have a different perspective and I understand yours. Actually, it depends on a person's life whom he thinks can help him cope up with his gambling addiction. And for me, it's my family even though I am not addicted to gambling.

Just like I've seen in movies. They wouldn't have to kill themselves if they already owe a lot of money, the loan sharks will kill them.
Its entertainment but when money is lost, the gambler would bet it all to get more. Some people just desire more money in an unusual way and picking gambling can be easy for them.

My aunt gambles her money because she wants to forget her husband who is a ship captain and she obviously thinks he sleeps all women at every port. Until my aunt became addicted to gambling. A very unusual way of her but its what she did.

   Bittraffic no offense, but your grandma has gambling issues! It's like in the movies, entire this topic,
because I can't imagine someone gambling his life so easily! I like to gamble, but there are limits, you
can't gamble with the money you don't have!!!
   But looks like many people make this mistake! It's sad to see that, I try to have control and I don't know
anyone who is addicted gambler!
   I hope you tried to help your grandma in some way, and if you did tell us what did you do and did it work.

The stories behind gambling addicts are sad. They lose the reality of things and sink into depression seeking to forget what hurts them. sincerely they need specialized help and the family plays an important role for their recovery.

I am also a witness to a gambling addict who lost everything she owned but never knew why she did it.

Yes, like what I've said, it's better to start from yourself than regret it when you already lost a lot of things especially your family. Take a look at those advice and experiences of the other people who already suffered from gambling addiction. Definitely, every risky decision that you're making, there's a huge consequence on that so better keep in mind that we should have a moderate gambling activity. If you want to earn profit, I guess it's better to find a real job than spending a whole time just to win in gambling.

You must understand not only the fact that a person who has realized his addiction and illness is able to get rid of it himself. And for all other players, it will be useful to listen to other people. Especially those who themselves got rid of such dependence. They will be able to teach you how to want to get rid of the gambling habit.

It must be their own way of willingness to choose to rehabilitate themselves, and not through the advise of anyone else. Addicted gamblers chooses to be like that, and nobody urged them to become that worst. What happened is destined to happen, so it must start on their own because if they knew how to start; then ending it possibly will also have a definite solutions in order to stop the underlying problems.

The list is good for the newbies who entered in gambling and those who are not addicted to gambling and can avoid the addiction if they read all the articles carefully. However those who are already addicted, they won't read or listen to anything or any advise and will only focus on playing gambling/ betting.

Good thing there is Gambling help online to your references. Most of the gamblers will be glad to consider this if they are having an issue in controling theirselves in gambling. Being addicted into gambling where in it isn't healthy anymore should be minimize and shall be fix by seeking some help from professional.
 
 Still grateful that I can still control myself being addicted to gambling. I believe it's in the mindset of a player. But thanks OP for reminding and giving some sources, this will be a good step for those who are losing their track to life because of gambling.

Need awareness from the addicting people to gambling to realize that they are addicted. But I am afraid that they will not think that as they only want to play and play again. That website can reach people who addicted to gambling, but many people out there still need help, especially in the country in which the percentage of addicting gambling is high.

At least, I think in every country, the professional will help people who have addicting to gambling, but they need support from the government, which can also help the professional to cure those people.

Why do you think that? All people are different, with different characters and destinies. Everyone in a situation of struggle with their addictions can act absolutely differently. It is better to let such services exist in the hope that at least someone will use their help. Than to say that a dependent person will not use them at all.

While people have different character and destinies yet Addicted person
are almost similar as all they want is to sustain and give
 their addiction always and in that way most of them are equal and fair.
and also that is the problem with them as the lust of
 playing is more important for them than anything in this world,same
 problem that they cannot or don't wanna listen to
 advises as following their needs
 is much what they do.

Closing doors about the situation is not really accurate since there are addicted gambler's been helped by other parties and good thing their are service like this will help for those people who got hit by bad habits. And I will agree with you since its nice to see this existing many people will be helped if they will go to any of this, dependent persons have downturns so everything could change by the help of everyone.

Correct, it's the gambler who can contained this and can truly cured itself but if there's heavy addictions which already present the help of those medical practitioners will give them a good chance to realized this problem, if they are really after to help themselves to remove it from their mindsets it will be easier with proper guidance coming from doctors and psychiatrist.

Gambling addiction will be dangerous if left without action, because not only can spend money but can impact on health. So with the gamblers
help which is a free service it is intended to overcome gambling issues include gambling addiction. There will be counseling and education
programs to reduce the negative effects of gambling.

I guess all gambling issues will be auto solved when we are able to stay away from gambling for a week. But, staying away from gambling might require some external help from our family members. I guess people who are living with family or friends may not have any gambling issues. But only for the people who are leading their life alone might get more severely suffered by gambling.

There are lots of methods have been suggested across this forum for gamblers to recover from their problems related to gambling. Still, only for the gamblers who have external support, those suggestions might have been working. Because, without help from family or friends, a gambler never stay away from gambling hence their problems also stay with them.
