Where to seek help if you need; concerned with gambling addiction.

[xSkylarx]

There are a lot of groups in this day and age that offer help regarding gambling addiction, I am pretty sure that a simple Internet search is going to yield you millions of results, just make the parameters specific to your country since the search engine might be confused and give results about groups in the international level.

I believe the best solution to gambling addiction is to get rehab, there should be interaction from gamblers to professionals who would help them, not by seeking online advice only since even though they have the information on what to do, if they are not interested in doing it, it will still not help them.

Some gamblers are afraid to go to rehab because they are afraid to be discriminated by the society. Plus, it would also need the family's support of that addicted gambler for him to go on those institutions or specialists. Most often an addicted gambler just goes broke and ruins his life because his family is not willing to help him. That is why I admire people who are willing to help these types of people, they are also good at giving advice that they will even help you to go to those rehabs.

Judguing by the article, this girl, Danielle, isn't a common gambling addict, as we know them. That's why I find her case the most interesting one. She's not trying to earn a lot of money with gambling. Neither she is a healthy gambler doing gambling just for the fun of it. "I was in a bad place and it filled an emptiness in my life. People assume everyone does it to win money or for the excitement, but it stopped me feeling lonely and anxious." - she said.

The thing is that this emptiness can be filled with much more dangerous things than gamnling, things like drug addiction, criminal activity, joining a radical religious sect etc.

Gambling addiction is a bad thing, no doubt about that, but I want to emphasize that it is only one of those bad things that can happen to anyone when there's this emptiness in their life, and actually it's this emptiness is what should be fought first of all.

Oh man, I have a good story how it often going in private "clinics". One important moment, that such clinics are universal: they helping to gambling addicted, drug addicted and so on.

So: you're arrive into such "clinic", out of the city in private area. The house and near territory is fenced so you can't run away. At least if you can jump over 3 meters. They  rid off your smartphone and other personal stuff. And it where it all started: Day after day you doing only few things. In the morning you clean up territory outside the house. After that you're going to talk about your problems and addiction with other patients in so-called "Alcoholics Anonymous" circle. And after that you're going into your "spartan-style" room and just sitting. This is not a joke: there is nothing to do. No books, no games, NOTHING. It looks like some kind of mental torture.

3 months in "clinic" looks like thousand years in the Hell. In the end you will never play any gambling games again, mostly because of animal fear to get back to this place.

I have heard and even seen shows on television about phobia to animals or other types that can be cured through suggestion, whether it is real or not. Maybe a way of giving suggestions can also be done to gambling addicts so they can leave the habit, but this is done if you are 100% sure you want to stop gambling.

When trying to compare it on treating phobia then it would be still on 50-50% chance because not all would really be able to cope up with their own fear into particular
thing and also addiction isnt something comparable to it so its a bit off that you would really be comparing it with gambling addiction into some sort of phobia.
Nothingless, everything can be stopped out on ones will or self control or discipline, if they are really eager on stopping anything according to their likes
then they can really do it.

Giving suggestions can be tried for that gambler, but that will need a professional who really knows how to do that because that needs to enter his subconscious, which not all people can do. It is like reprogram our minds not to think or do not know anything about gambling, and our minds will tell us to stay away from gambling. Maybe that can work, but still, that needs an effort from the gambler to stop his gambling habit and he needs to have someone or his family beside him.

I believe the best place to seek for help is at the respective public department of your city/province. I know it as social assistance or welfare department. The employees working there will guide suffering individuals to proper treatment, what doesn't include only gambling addiction, but also any other kind of addiction or social problem as well.
These employees are supposed to know better than anyone else what are the treatments disponible on the region and can also work as middlemen between the citizens and the clinics, spas and doctors.

I recommend that we overcome ourselves before asking for help from others to overcome the gambling addiction that we experience.
Usually a strong desire to stop playing gambling is indeed an effective way to solve someone's addiction problem. But the problem is
not everyone can solve everything on their own, at least we try to solve it by ourselves first. If it really fails, then the next step is to ask
for help from others. But I believe if we have any good reason to stop gambling, gambling addiction should be resolved by yourself.

I agree, the thing is, unless you want to stop gambling totally and completely from your own, I don't think therapy or any type of medicine can help you. It's sad that people only speak bad about gambling when they lose, but many when they win consider it as gem, while it's not. The pressure to kill it should come from inside, else if you still want to gamble, those same doctors and therapists will look like your enemies because you wouldn't want them to stop you from gambling, hence in my personal opinion, refrain from gambling by yourself for some time and then go for therapy or other support and commit to yourself that you will never gamble again.

But is bad to be gamble addict because it will lead someone that is not financial buoyant into deviate altitude in regards to get quick money, so such process can equally make a gambler addict to start stealing or hijacking anything in order to generate money for gamble, from another perspective people are seeing gambling as a source of revenue, an easy way to get money, but is not like that, in rural area people practice diver's forms of gambling more especially young adults.so the level of this have to be eradicated.

While that is the first step that you should take in order to stop gambling addiction the truth is that is the first step in almost anything as well, before doing something people must want to do that something, and the market of cryptocurrencies is the perfect example of this, over the years I tried to convince some people to invest in it and I showed all the evidence I could to prove my point, did they do it? No, it was not until recently some of those people began contacting me about it and I told them to not do it, what do you think it happened? They did it lost money and now they blame me when I clearly told them to not do it.

People wont realize until they do able to experience those unfortunate situations which is really a bit dumb if i were to say or this had been part of the reality.

We wont really be trying to avoid when its still early and when things happen the desperation do comes next..Addiction is something that cant really be get rid upon.

Honesty, ourselves is only enough for us to quit gambling and it all matters with self realization and sensibility towards the situation.

Some addicted gambler are still afraid to share their addiction and bad experiences about gambling to someone that’s why they are not contacting those group that can possibly help them. If you’re already addicted in gambling there’s still a chance for you to get out of that trap just ask for a help and someone will help you for sure, its just that its hard to pay those bad debts but slowly you can repay it in time.

There are indeed people who are really that shy or part of their ego on not to know on whats currently happening on him in terms of problems and other negative things.
They would just simply hid off and would try to resolve the problem on their own but actually addiction isnt something that can be solved if not really being helped
by your loved ones but there are people which did successfully get rid of their addiction by their own but of course it wont be an easy path.
Asking help on your family first would be the first step.

I am not sure if that group is available in many places as we know that many countries still do not have a legal casino wherein they play gambling in hidden places. That can make them addicted to gambling which is not easy to get help from other people if they do not share or tell their problem to other people. But if that group is available and can easily find them, we can ask help from them if our friends, one of the member families, or other people we know are getting addicted to gambling. No matter what, it is better for a person who addicted to gambling to tell other people and ask for help to get a solution to solve the addiction to gambling problems.

True that not all would really be having the access due to country locations and not all of the places which does have correspond professional help or services something like
this which means not all would really be catered out with this kind of help.Therefore the best thing to be done is to help out yourself first before asking out some help
in others like your loved one or any other services out there that do cater out gambling addiction.This is a kind of problem on where someone cant easily
get rid off.

Pretty every country has their own intervention groups that will help them, I don't know what you are talking about not having access but I think that everyone has, it's just a matter of opportunity. Helping yourself is easy on paper but if you are in the denial stage, it will be difficult to do that.

covid19 should have been a good help for them for it's not allowed to go out and casinos are closed. Some find their way to do it online, however. addiction could take a long time to be out of the system, it's like an old habit.

but if another habit comes in, it will be replaced by another. this another habit should be programmed to be a good habit like raising chickens on the farm, fishing, trading cryptocurrency or porn.
