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

[michellee]

Gamblers who have a strong intention to overcome their addiction, usually they will do various ways for them to recover from addiction.
Including spending a very large amount of money to pay for the therapy, maybe they do this because gambling addiction is hard to make
their life messy. But it is better for the government to help provide assistance to addicted gamblers, it will be more effective to reduce
the number of addicted gamblers. Because there are indeed some gamblers who are unable to pay the therapy fees, due to being in a lot of debt.

I believe those people really have their chance to solve their addiction problem, especially if some people around them can help them. Yes, he can spend the money to seek help and cure his addiction but other gamblers will not do the same as the addiction level on every gambler will be different. The government can help them and support them, but the addicted person to gambling does not want to tell their problem to others. So that makes it the government difficult to start to help them.

Once can only be helped if he/she opens up to some one reliable. There are many addicts who love their present status and feel very comfortable with it. Getting help is a personal decision because you can't help someone who isn't ready to accept help. You might volunteer to help an addict who doesn't want help and end up complicating the whole process. For me the addictor should first desire to helped that Way it makes the whole process more easier.

That is why the addicted person to the gambling needs to have an open mind to share his problem with others. Otherwise, that can cause another conflict between him and them. If the addicted person can get help from others, it will solve the problem and they will have a better life than before because they can solve the addiction. They should do that before everything becomes worse and not get out of addiction for a long time.

Seeking help from a psychologist would mean he has to have money to pay for the therapy, there's got to be a lot of control before he could do that. Because I suspect an addict will just gamble instead of paying someone for therapy. He might feel like gambling is more therapeutic for him.

It might be good if there is a government agency handling this kind of problem for gamblers who hits rock bottom because that's where it will really be serious.

An addicted gambler that seeks actual help and really wants to end his addiction wouldn't mind the fee that he has to pay for the professional help that he'll get.

That's why some are asking for actual help to do in the process of elimination of their addiction.

Yes.

The actual process might be complicated for them but it will be granted if they accept those help. And the money that will be used will be worth it as it will help them mentally.

[Fredomago]

Yes.

The actual process might be complicated for them but it will be granted if they accept those help. And the money that will be used will be worth it as it will help them mentally.

yeah right, everything for a cause will have the value in changing them and helping them to survive this problem, Even it cause them a lot what matters most is the will to cure them and help them in anyhow.

People who are suffering with gambling addiction, aside from the own will inside them they also needs helps coming from the expert as there's already malfunctions inside their minds and the balance is already in need to adjust to bring it back to the original cycles where specialist is the one who can do it for them.

I think what made the situation worse is the pandemic,many people lost their jobs or a certain part of their salary and they were locked at home for some months during 2020 and this is exactly where online gambling saw a big increase in their user base.Most probably these desperate persons were trying to find a way out and they thought to give gambling a try,this made their situations worse as in gambling we all know we will lose much more than we can win and I think this is exactly where addicts are created in big numbers.It is good that the measures for the pandemic have eased a lot since then and people can start their recovery by returning back to their everyday life.

We cannot blame the pandemic about this issues since if we are in our proper mind to think to much on such things we can avoid to gamble more then came  to the point  that we been hooked up  to the  game. Although there are some instance that pandemic really contribute since many casino advertisement popping out but if we know how  to control our selves we this gambling things will not hurt us totally. Now since we  are slowly progressing maybe its good for addicted gamblers to avoid playing to much so that  they will not suffer  more financial damage to theirselves.

Agreed, in a time of pandemic perhaps more advertising about gambling or more precisely, people have more time to pay attention to these information patterns but deciding to participate is also a very strong personal responsibility, a failure from here on it is better not to blame gambling but to reconsider your own maturity. The rationale for recent addictions probably arises from our having too much useless time, to avoid the emotions of gambling, to make the most of our time more productively and productively for our lives and families.

In my country there are rehabilitation houses for people who suffer from addictions, they are places that give treatments so that the addicted person leaves with good mental health, without addiction. But I must say that because they are places that welcome many people, the owners of the places ask the addict's relatives to donate some food and money to support the place where they help the sick. in my opinion it's a good thing. I had some addicted relatives who went to this place and got better. When a person is sick, they have to have the courage to say: "I'm sick and I need help" is the first condition for the person to get better, if the person refuses to accept that they are sick then they will not improve treatment to quit the addiction

People are mostly spending up their time online which they would really be that prone into those advertisement which might really be poking up the gambler mind that they do have inside.

This is actually depending on self personal control and not all would really be good at that and this is why they do get easily hooked up if interest will really spark out.

Addiction? Its a common phase and you are the ones who do hold your fate and if you don't have control then you do know on whats next.

[Hippocrypto]

Seek help from a psychological expert if you're having concerns with an addiction of gambling, this is not a joke and it really affected our mentality. Family member is your most important person to tap at, they're the one who can understand you specially this time when you're struggling to overcome gambling addiction. Don't bring money with you in cash form, and avoid instances that you can access sites related to gambling. Ask from someone who can help you stay away from gambling, like sports engagement and with other entertaining stuffs like music or singing.

[Rengga Jati]

Although I'd read a good article on the matter(can you recommend one?) I doubt I could say something valuable in this regard even after reading it.
......
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2730661/

Same with me, the long text sometimes makes us feel confused to learn and understand it easily. However, commonly I will try to check per point deeply and read skimming of the most parts.

We may not blame this pandemic, but for sure, pandemic becomes one of the reasons also why the gambling activities are increasing during this pandemic.
There is also a reason because many people are commonly being bored easily during the lockdown. We know that many Companie or institutions do WFH so that it will also turn people to be bored. And moreover, every day we are connecting to the gadget and internet. Maybe this pandemic is not the most reasonable, but it becomes one of the triggers. Although of course once more, it will also depend on each person. Least, I also agree with your opinion.

[boyptc]

Yes.

It's the best help because they'll also be helped by their families.

With the help of those people, that's going to make them go with the process and will eventually beat addiction as that's the last resort that one can do.

But if still that doesn't help, time to think of another way of getting rid of it.

[Silberman]

This is like the third time am seeing a thread talk about Gambling addiction,  does this mean this pandemic has given people a reason to gamble more such that they have forgotten to limit themselves??

If gambling is really an issue talk to some one you trust preferably family or friends because you don't want someone that will look down on you for opening up.

All addictions went up during the pandemic, we must understand that people are social by nature so the lockdowns affected people, now if you were living with your family then this was not as much of an issue but for those living alone this was terrible, this means that we saw an increase in all kind of addictions including but not limited to drugs, alcohol, food, video games, social media and gambling, so this is why it is so important to discuss it as some people may be on the verge to fall into this and we could get to them before they fall even further into those harmful behaviors.

Do you have any source about this matter about raising up addiction percentage since this pandemic?

We can really say that online gambling did really have significant rise in users since people are spending mostly online of their time and even non  gamblers had been hooked up
because of those more screen time.

Addiction is something that can be cured directly or in instant but doesnt mean its not possible.

Here are a few links which could be of interest:

https://www.apa.org/monitor/2021/03/substance-use-pandemic


While it is true that the number of those which were addicted to some kind of substance or behavior has being going up there is very clear evidence the pandemic has increased these numbers to worrying levels, we must understand that at the beginning we did not knew how difficult the pandemic will hit us and even if it could be worse it was bad enough that we suffered from lockdowns for months, so this affected people and they took the easy way out and are now suffering from an addiction that they would not likely suffer if the pandemic never happened.

Often family can't help with that problem: your relatives don't have needed qualification and psychological skills to influence on you. As result - it's more like nothing will change. People need help of specialists with high qualification.

Morally, they're helping you to get out of gambling addiction.

Having to know that they are there to help you get out from it and will also be supporting you to seek professional help, that's really a big help for someone who's struggling with gambling addiction.

But before you do go into this option then you should at least try to help yourself first because those external helps wouldnt really be effective if you are the one who arent really that serious on quitting gambling.Its on personal mind on how you would really quit it up because no matter how your loved ones will be giving out some counselling or advice or even into those professional help  then it would be still useless if yourself wouldnt really be that willing to quit from it.So it does matter with self realization and accepting that you would really go for a change.
Addiction is something that can be just easily removed and it would takes a long time.

Even if you're getting all the external or internal help.

As you said, the gambler isn't serious with how he's eradicating his addiction, then that won't be use. The cooperation of the gambler himself is needed.

So that he can beat addiction with or without those help.

Getting out of addicts must be based on oneself and have a sincere desire to recover because that is the main factor and is further supported by external and internal help.

if you want to cure addicts without any support and seriousness to heal from yourself it will be in vain, so both must be done together with the possibility that healing will surely come true.

The first step is not to immediately seek the help of others to be able to cure gambling addiction. The person must consciously and gracefully accept
the fact that he is indeed addicted to gambling, because it is very important to be honest with himself that he is addicted to gambling. If this is not
done then as you said getting external or internal help will be in vain. After the person admits that he is addicted, there will usually be a strong desire
to beat the addiction he is experiencing. The next step will usually be easier to be able to cure gambling addiction from the person.

For those who are aware that they are addicted, what you said can work. But for those who don't realize that they are addicted already, it doesn't work at all. They are even not aware if they have a problem with addiction. How they can accept their addiction in this situation? Of course, they need helps from other people. Especially their close friends or family members. They must remind the addicts to have a special treatment to deal with it. And trying to correct the addict's habit gradually. This is something that cannot be done alone. Trust me, buddy! It is not as simple as you think.

I admit that many people are addicted to gambling but they don't realize it. If that's the case, someone else's help is needed to wake him up.
Because if the gambler is allowed to become addicted,  it's not only his life that's in trouble, but his family was also affected. So the sooner
addiction is treated, the better. Because if they have been used to it for too long the person is addicted to gambling. Usually more difficult to cure,
because gamblers who have been addicted in the long term, consider gambling addiction a normal thing. I don't think gambling addiction is
a simple thing to deal with, because there are some people who need a very long time to completely heal. I'm just saying if the gambler is honest
with himself, that he admits to being addicted, the healing process is easier compared to a gambler who doesn't realize he is addicted.

[bitterguy28]

I think this newly created thread must Connive with this thread of yours

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5350803.0

Because it claims about the Company must be responsible for what will gamblers come out in the future specially when they become addicted.

[Rengga Jati]

Of course.
Because a gambling addiction will also probably make big impacts not only for the gambler himself but also for their family or friends, and worse, for the community because of the crimes affected.
the right treatment, helps, some Repetition, and continuity of the treatment is also important to make aware and manage himself on gambling very wisely or even to stop gambling based on personal considerations.
