Gambling is Addictive...Pay Attention to your Gambling Habit!!!

[TitanGEL]

Unfortunately there are too many people in the world who get the heights of gambling world just once and spend years chasing that high once more and that is not something you can get it out of a person without any help at all, there should be a professional help in order to get them out of that zone.

You could spend 100 bucks and make it to 20k once, and after that you could lose tens of thousands of dollars, even hundreds of thousands of dollars since that moment and you still wouldn't be stopping if nobody helps you. But, if you could just learn to limit yourself, I have 50 bucks deposit per month rule for myself for example, if you do that, there is two options, either you will lose that 50 bucks and stop, or you will make some and continue to profit in the end.

I think it is not simple as you think especially if the certain gambler became so addicted to it wherein it formed a new habit. We should be aware that what we are doing in everyday in our daily lives  is just basically pattern that been developed and turned in to habit. If a certain gambler who is addicted to gambling pay attention on his own pattern wherein he is aware on what he is doing and what thing triggers to him to spend money in gambling. If he know that trigger and he managed to change or stop it, there is a high possibility that he can escape the addiction through gambling.

I have heard that someone becomes homeless just because gambling. If you and your friends can't control yourself to gamble, then you must seek a help like someone who can help you to go through this. I mean gambling addiction is really hard to remove if you do it by yourself if you are really addicted. You don't want to become homeless so you can stay away from gambling, right?

Yes, it so hard to change to change towards gambling addiction. It is just like a drugs that you always wanted to do. I agree that the best way to change is to seek help from a professional or to your family. I can recommend to buy for a pet, Dogs are always adorable and it always be the best way to get time pre occupied. In that way sooner or later gambling will be forgotten because pets do take time especially in taking care of them.

Dopamine rules the world around us.

Besides seeking for professional help from a psychologist.
There are many good habits and practices in life that may help:

Going out on the sun
Walking
exercising and carrying heavy things
sauna
the ocean
not eating junk food
limiting exposure to social media and electronics (this can really mess up with neurotransmitters)

I think if it was that easy as Dopamine rules us then the fix should have been found with some legal drug to lower the dopamine our brain produces.I think dopamine is the final step toward gambling addiction and the first and foremost reason is human greediness and the fact that many of us cannot accept so easily losing any certain amount of money.

It's not someone else business to stop you in playing gambling, it's your responsibility alone that you should know in the very beginning the moment you played gambling. Relying that to someone just simplified that you're not strong enough to make a stop if you've hit your limit on gambling, or the worst thing is that you don't even know what's your limit in gambling, that's pretty screwed up.

The most easiest way for me to be able to survive gambling is quit when you won (no matter how small or big it is) means you should know that as long as you have a profit, it's better than not having one. The other one is to stop betting if you know you're losing too much money in a row (you can never beat the house).

[XZERO1]

So am urging everyone out there playing to play, but try not to make it a lifestyle, try to always play with only money youve decided to loose, play for the fun and don't expect anything back... Play and don't get addicted.

Really if you're not playing for fun you are doing it wrong and you're going to be really disappointed sooner or later, it's not only gambling either, over all anything that relies on luck(instead of effort) to work is not a proper way of making anything that is guaranteed and lasts for a long time.

Gambling is more about the excitement and the dopamine rush that it gives you more than anything else and looking at it in anyway as some sort of a source of income is totally wrong, of course always there are going to be some people that made it big by just gambling but by just looking at the number of those people that got a very good money out of gambling alone and the other group that did not gain anything significant out of it you should get some kind of a clue that this mindset about gambling is not the right one and it can hurt you both mentally and financially if you are going to be that ignorant.

You said it right from your first statement, people who already been drag to this activities and become too much addicted needs professional help, there's no way that they can suppress addiction by themselves.

The needs to of having someone who fully understand how to control this kind of problem which only professional can really assist the proper ways.

You could spend 100 bucks and make it to 20k once, and after that you could lose tens of thousands of dollars, even hundreds of thousands of dollars since that moment and you still wouldn't be stopping if nobody helps you.

That's the trick their. You can win and it's not impossible but for sure you'll be back thinking that you can do the same from time to time, that's the time where house will hit you back over and over.

You only realized that you already addicted when you your savings are all emptied.

Maybe it could be that simple, maybe not.

big pharma is not interested in solving human problems, all they want is to get more "subscribers" or their recurrence model.
that's why we see more and more people addicted to allopathic medicine.

e.g:
Some doctors already understand that depression shouldn't be treated with heavy medicine in all cases, because:
1. it's not so effective.
2. it can create bigger problems on the long run.

But alternative usefull treatments like with psychedelics don't have that much investment. Why would a company want to develop a treatment that is one dose only if it won't give them the money?

Totally worth checking Sidarta Ribeiro's work on that (Brazilian neuroscientist).

There are more serious risks here. Gambling leads to the release of the hormones adrenaline and dopamine. In normal doses, these hormones are very beneficial. However, their excess leads to depression. A person ceases to be interested in the world around him. He sees the whole World in gray tones. The person does not want to live. It's scary😞

That's why I got too much excited when posting my prediction on our local board and keep thinking about it until the next morning. After I lost my prediction in the NBA championship games, it felt so heavy in my heart. This is what the other gamblers felt every time they lose and it really hurts. depends on how much they have lost in the game. It's a surprise how they managed to forget such a feeling because it is not as simple as you imagine. Losing a huge amount of money will get yourself a lot to imagine at night.

Try to diversify your life.  Gambling is a part of your life.  However, there are many interesting things in life.  Not only gambling.  Sports, lifestyle, communication, flirting, sex, nature, sleep, learning, work.  Gambling is nothing more than games.

Unfortunately once a person becomes completely addicted to gambling then gambling becomes their whole life, they disregard their job, family, friends and anything that was important before it, this is why addictions are so dangerous because the person will stop being who he is and was just to become a slave to his desires, so while I enjoy gambling at the same time I am always very careful about how much time and money I spend each week in the activity and if I think I have gambled too much I just stop for a long time just to prove myself that I am indeed the one in control of my gambling.

Gambling, sex, sports, communication, nature, sleep etc are part of life but how to diversify all this things is what causes problems for some people because everything in life needs to be put in check that's why some gambling site of these days have some features which help gamblers to put their buzz in check.

This era, we are lacking of self control in things around us. There are many people who have failed to exercise and eat some healthy foods because we now live in a society where diet and physical fitnesses doesn't exist. We live in a world with technology and other leisure things such as online gambling. Although, there is no directly effect on ourselves today, there is an effect when we become addict in games or gambling in a long run. Let us all change our lifestyle and prevent ourselves in falling down under gambling addiction.

The present generation does have tougher challenges in carrying out life, it is very difficult to live healthy in the current situation.
We all don't realize every day the food around us is junk food, because people are increasingly lazy to spend time cooking healthy
foods and choosing to buy unhealthy instant foods. Not to mention that there is no longer time to do sports, because everyone is
busy working. And their spare time is used to play gambling and games for entertainment. If we are not careful without realizing it,
it can turn us into a gambling addiction, because habits that are carried out continuously can be difficult to change our bad lifestyle.
So we have to be able to dare to make our own life better.

Your friend probably needs counselling or a help of an expert since he’s gambling habits is out of control. Gambling will ruin everything if you let it control you, it shouldn’t be or will never be part of someone’s lifestyle.

I also encountered people that are very addicted to gambling and their life is already in real messed. It really destroys life and family, so before someone wants to engage in this habit should proceed with extreme caution of the consequences.

Everything in life when its already too much then it would really create some devastation into your lives and one of it is gambling.It isnt really bad to get involved with it but doesnt mean that you would go full scale with it when it comes to engagement or too much focus on it.We do live once but doesnt mean that we will live to the fullest into things that do entertain us. Gambling does mean money and once you have lost it all or spent then you would really be having a hard time to recover or continue to live since you wont really have that much to sustain your living which is totally a mess.If you dont like for that thing to happen then better think
up towards your actions.

[DevilSlayer]

Addiction on the other hand is no joke.

I never experienced it but in other countries, this problem is so bad that they are ruining their lives because of that and they really need a professional help to save them. Gambling itself is just a game, a way for people to risk their money for them to be entertained, not for them to risk their money and their lives to it and entertain the world of how bad gambling made their lives.

Compulsive gambling is a behavior that deserves professional help. Gambling habits that turn into addictions can cause someone to lie frequently, spend a lot of money without thinking about the risks, and even steal. This is a progressive disease that must be cured because it can cause mental problems, bankruptcy, and even attempt suicide.

The Covid-19 pandemic has forced many businesses to temporarily closed and caused many people to lose their jobs. Situations like this can trigger someone to gamble because the allure of instant money that can be obtained from gambling can be a motivation (moreover, gambling can be done from home at the moment). If more and more people get caught up in gambling, then gambling disorder and gambling addiction will also increase.

When you say compulsive, it only means that a certain gambler really obsessed to play gambling games no matter if there is pandemic or any different scenarios out there. You can call a gambler as compulsive if his/her life is circling around gambling, what do I mean by that? You can observe that his/her actions are becoming strange where his time is only focusing on gambling even if he or she continuing to lose money there.

The only solution for that is to seek help from professionals, I am not a professional when it comes to mental health but if we really need to overcome that kind of addiction, we should really take an action that will save us from that kind of state. Our family and friends can also help us for sure especially for those afraid to visit psychologist or psychiatrist.

It is really difficult to seek help from professionals if they don't have the will to do that. We can't force him to go to the professionals without he agrees. We could only suggest to him and remind him that he has addicting to gambling, which he needs to solve. If he finally decides to go to the professionals and needs us to go with him, we can help him and help him solve it. Gambling addiction is really hard to solve, and we already see many cases of addicted gambling, which end by losing all of what he has.

And also the mere fact that seeking for a professional help may required you to produce your professional fee that sometimes was costly too. Truly that gambling were addictive and we should be responsible for ourselves but for me the only cure for that addiction were in the gambler too. She/He was the only one who can cure himself/herself by just controlling his/her habits. I do gamble too but i see to it that i follow my own schedule. Yep i set my own schedule for gambling, and having a twice a month i guess were not bad but of course if i have a capital to gamble with were on top of my priority in terms of gambling.

the average gambling addict doesn't care anymore about their family because all they have in mind is "gambling profits''...

if you are just starting out gambling you should make a commitment not to sacrifice the family economy, because which will definitely feel the suffer most if you are really addicted to gambling is your family.

I think it's hard because your mind's thinking if you will gambling more or will stop, it will just stress you out. Gambling addiction is difficult to cure, at that point, even yourself can't do it unless you've encountered some situations that might change you because of your wrong actions. The best solution is to seek help from your loved ones, they're the ones that will help you to cure and will make you entertain to forget gambling. Once you're addicted to gambling, it's very hard to manage and schedule things because you will only seek is gambling.

it's not difficult to live healthy nowadays:
it's a matter of choice.
simple like that.

thoughts become actions
actions become habits.

if someone has time to games and netflix they could be exercising.

that old story:
easy choices, hard life.
hard choices, easy life.

too much comfort can kill us.

Another factor when such person wanted to cure himself, it's needed for his self will, undergoing to professional attentions cost you money but it won't be successful if the person itself don't want to help himself.

It will be a waste of time and money as the chance that he will just comeback and be exposed to gambling is more higher than he wil stay out and change path.

That's why i do believe that seeking for the help of professional will be useless if the person didn't wanted to get cured. What i mean was she/he was the one who didn't want to cooperate and not his will to cure himself. It only simple as that thing, that's why until we don't too much associated and engaged with gambling have a self control. Set up your monthly schedule in gambling, have a limitation and limit your money bets.
