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

That is so true.

Usually, as far as I know, these professionals explain that to make their patients better, these compulsive gamblers need to know that they must participate in this therapy not because they needed to but because they wanted to. This will be very hard without the will of that certain gambler as it might have no effect in the long run without their will.

A willingness from the patients will be the power to getting better and succeed in the therapy. That will help the patients try to participate in every therapy program because that is what they want to solve. It is hard for them, but there is no other solution to get rid of addiction. In this matter, their family presence will be necessary because the family can support that patient to strong enough until the program ends, and the patients are declared cured by a professional.

Going to a professional consultant won't help much if it doesn't start with changing routines and stay in the same environment. It is like giving external factors a chance to resist the urge to quit an addiction.
Addictions are tough and even difficult to start practicing new habits in a new environment.

If the patient can participate in the therapy, they will get many solving problems for addicting people in gambling, which can help them create a new habit or enlightenment. They will have a lesson about changing routines as soon as possible to resist their addiction. It needs the power to start a new habit and change their old habits with a positive habit that can change their whole lives.

The main thing is for a person to realize that it is impossible to live like this... If he himself does not understand the problem, no one can help him!

However, not all addicts can realize it themselves. They need others to remind them about it. The first one who has the responsibility to advise and remind them is the family. Then, if it still doesn't bring any effects, the family needs to accompany the addicts to visit experts or specialists. We cannot let them solve the problem alone, they need us that can advise them.

You only recreated his statement, but just make it longer. The moment that someone reminds an addict that he is addicted, there would be times that he/she will be in the state of denial, and that enters his statement that "If he himself does not understand the problem, no one can help him". willingness to accept the reality is what will make them realize that they're addict. Yes, this will take time like any other, but you can let him decide for himself if he will realize it after people remind him about the situation. Afterwards, the medication will proceed, seeking help from professionals, changing habits, and diverting attention to other activities will eventually happen.

that is something to take into account.
even if its just a thing you do for fun, it may be a wise decision to at least keep notes on how much money you separate for gambling, and maybe track your wins/loss ratio.

not so difficult to do.

Honestly, I also keep my records in every time I play, so I can see if I am losing in a row or I am winning as well. I put it in excel file so I can check my budget and income statement. It is also the file I use too track my current earning in work so I can see if I am having an extra money to be add in my gambling budget. It will make you addictive yes, but it is all up to the gambler, if he will go all in let him suffer even though there's no money left.

To be honest I am not doing the tracking or monitoring of the wins and losses whenever I play because there are times that if you are tracking your winnings and losses everytime, there are a chance that if you have a lot of losses then probably you have ashamed to stop betting by that you will not be able to gain your losses. In fact the best way to do is to just limit the amount of your bet anytime that you are betting so that you will be able to know if you are losing a huge or winning a high.

[ethereumhunter]

The level of addiction matters, but it's still the person self will that can help him to avoid doing things over and over. There are many addicted gamblers who sufferer from this problem not just themselves but also the lives of those people around them. Much better to assist your friend to avoid being too much engaged and completely lose his control and suffered more after.

That will depend on his friend because some gamblers don't want to let other people know that he is addicted to gambling. They will keep it for themselves and pretend that they are okay with playing gambling because they can say that they control themselves. Maybe we need to check what he is doing every day if we really care about him, so we know if he is addicted or hiding the addiction.

yes, there's no right or wrong way to do it, some people will prefer not to track and just use the money for fun, without a need to keep notes or something like that.

some other people will just blow up their accounts too because they think they don't deserve the money for some reason

[ecnalubma]

But I believe the strong family communication and connections could help this kind of matter and help of an expert is just secondary option. If the family cares about the person they will not give up on him and help him realise that its time to stop and he should live his life in a meaningful way.

[DatKing]

I agree on that everyone should be very careful when gambling. If it turns into addiction, it can cause too many bad things happen in that person's life. You should be very careful about this. If you lose the control, you may lose many things you have in your life.

It is possible that family or your loveones can help you with this kind of situation but it is not applicable to other gamblers who became too much addicted in gambling. There are some cases of gamblers who cannot be stopped even if the family exerts too much effort to lead him on the right path. It would be better if in the first place he already control his desires to gamble. Seeking the hel of medical professional is much better and also with the support of his family.

Family is the first ones that will help you in case you are in a gambling addiction but unfortunately that isn't the case for most of the gambling addicts.

Base on my observation and experience, most of these gambling addicts doesn't have a close relative because of some conflicts between them that is connected to gambling. No concrete evidence though but I know that some of these aren't have a family relative that is close to them because of some reasons.

On the other hand, gambling addicts who helped by their family members to recover from getting addicted are very lucky in a way.

[Cacingkemi]

There are many addictions in the world, gambling is one of them. I think if you can control the addiction a little and only gamble with money you can afford to lose it is not a problem. you should consider money that you bet with gambling as lost, and not expect to earn a fortune with it, because you cannot control it, no matter how good your strategy is. Many people start with bank roll management, but when they see that they are losing too much, they want to win back the lost money and things go wrong.

You are right, and people that are addicted started by staking little money, if they win, they will still want to increase their staking capital, in which they will lose everything eventually. Also if they lose, they will still want to put more funds. It happened to me just like this to the extent I prefer to use the money to eat to gamble, thinking to double it but losing and going hungry, selling one or two of my properties were included. The best is to just have control over it.

It depends on how far they have let their addiction go, someone that is just on the beginning stages of addiction can recover with the help of their family and by using their own will, but if a person has spent years being addicted to gambling and he has lost everything then that person needs professional help and there is the possibility that even that is not enough and that person will be addicted to gambling for the rest of his life, which is one of the main reasons why you should never allow yourself to become addicted on the first place.

It's easier to handle addiction at the very beginning, that is true. The problem is because sometimes it's hard to recognise the signs of addiction or addicted gamblers just ignore them.
It's crucial to seek help when it's not to late and to be aware that we mustn't allow gambling to rule our lives. Gambling should be fun at the first place.

What happens is that one of the most common human reactions to a problem is denial, when people tell you that you have a problem with your gambling instead of thinking about what it has been said people take offence on the comment and become defensive thinking they are being attacked for something they enjoy and decide to deny it and in many cases attack back, but this is a very unhealthy attitude to have because if the comment comes from a friend or a family member you can be sure they are telling you this not to criticize you but to try to help you.

If the individual players in the gambling sites became addicted to it before others will remind Him/Her the gambler's closest family will be the main person who will give a reminder to the gambler, am I right? And besides, the addicted gambler also is the number one responsible for His choice as well too. Gambling shouldn't be a habit instead, this should only be an amusement only.

Yes, you are right. But the problem is how their closes family will know if he is addicted to gambling. Besides that, if someone gets addicted to gambling, he will not tell other people about his problem, and he will keep the secret to himself. That will need attention for his family always to take care of their family and ask something if he acts differently than usual. By doing that, I think that his family will know if he has a problem and needs help from them. I agree that gambling is just for having fun and enjoy playing many gambling games. Once you think that you slowly become addicted, maybe you can tell your closest person or your family and ask them to help you.

That's the two main problem:

1. The gambler who is addicted will never reveal his secret
~ The reason why is this happening is either his love ones are the toxic type of family or he's too paranoid that if he tell to his family about his addiction, he might be judged or even worst.

2. The Family doesn't even know how to notice something unusual to their members of the family
~ Well, this is connected to the first I've mentioned, if your family is a toxic one then you should expect that they always care less on the family members except themselves, that's why having a healthy family is important to let everyone grows and not drag each other down.

Those two major factors that I've mentioned above should always be neglected in a family. Families don't need toxic traits but instead they should spread love in every each of them, so secrets would never exist and they would just happily open up to each other to seek help when they can't solve it alone.

We are responsible for every move that we do as gamblers.

Just pay attention and always check if you're still on the right track when you're gambling. Very easy to say about amusement and habit but you'll never know how difficult they are tackling that problem.

The struggle of thinking and doing it as what we say can't be done by them easily.

Number one, his family doesn't care about him, so that person needs to find what he likes, and coincidentally, he was introduced to gambling, and he became addicted. If his family doesn't realize that matter, sooner or later, that person will get into big trouble and it is very hard to solve.

Number two, it is happening in this era. Many families don't care about their family members because they are busy doing what they want. They seem careless with each other, and sometimes, they have arguments with each other. They only know if their needs are already filled, they think that it is enough and they will let them use it for whatever they want. They don't think that their family members need affection for each other.

If we are family, we need to take care of each other and always ask or give attention to every family member, so they don't think the family abandons them.

Once that person becomes addicted, we know what will happen to him, and the worst is he can commit suicide like what we know that is happening in many cases.

No one to be blame if you involve yourself into this vice, it's your own decision in the first place allowing things to happened with you.
As instead of being entertained your engagements brings you to becoe heavy player.

Once gambling already inside your minds, it's difficult to removed it more gambling addicts needs attentions to the point of having
professionals to assess and help to recover to start a new life.

Play with responsibilities, never to attached too much.

For me it is all about time and schedule management, we cannot be addicted to gambling if we have other priorities in life like spending many hours in specific habits or work. I'm a gambler but I never consider myself as addicted even though I often playing different gambling games, I think it is maybe because I'm aware to what I'm doing and I also have priorities in life wherein I can sacrifice the gambling for me to just finish the important things that I should do. We are liable to ourselves and for me it is the reason why we should not become addicted to gambling, having priorities and treating gambling as only entertainment can help us to prevent addiction through gambling.
