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

[molsewid]

It is always good to recognize that there is a problem, that is the first step, the affected person should not feel any kind of shame, I think that if the person does not want to go to such a specific help center what they should do as the first option and What is seen as normal is to go to a psychologist, a couple of sessions to test, the problem may be solved, and that the person has the help of his friends, but real friends, not friends who take him to others vices, in which case it does not work for you, if it is good to go to those special help centers for players.

It is incredible, but many people find refuge in religions, some get addicted to being in religion, whether they are evangelicals, or any other, there are many options, it all depends on the desire of the person to want to get out of the problem, but Help is imperative because it is for the well-being of both the person and the affected family.

It is hard to cure a person with gambling addiction if he to himself couldn't admit that there's a problem to him. The first thing that must be consider is to site the problem and explain it to the concern person and let himself diagnosed himself that there's a certain problem that he need to resolve. Then, seek help to the institutions that provide a cure for this kind of issues. There should be a great support that must come to his family and friends and let him know that he is not alone so he will be inspired and motivated to recover from his addiction.

Gambling addiction is a serious condition that needs to be treated as early as possible. Many countries have already started to realize the dangers of problem gambling, so they've created several gambling addiction centers and self-exclusion services that aim to cure addiction and keep gambling an entertaining activity. According to this  complete list of gaming addiction centers , Canada is one of the leading fighters against gambling addiction, and they've already helped millions of Canadian gamblers solve their problems and take back their lives. Hope it helps!

That is available in Canada, but how about in the other countries? I do not know if the other countries will have a good place to rehabilitate the addicted person to gambling. But suppose the other countries can learn from the leading country that fights against gambling addiction and build a better rehabilitation for the addicted people to gambling. In that case, it will help many people who have the same problem. That can reduce the number of addicted to gambling, and the government will be happy to see that gambling addiction is not a problem in their country.

There several places where people are wallowing in gambling addiction,finding it difficult to get help.Many have been stigmatized through loss and failure,and are seeking help,but couldn't get help because they are leaving in an environment where help is rare.It is imperative and dutiful for government world wide to provide help at where there is none,including the nooks and crannies of our society.

If the addicted people to gambling feel it is difficult to get help, they do not want to share their addiction with other people so they can not help that person right away. People can not get close to them if they do not open themselves to accept other people so they are only getting deeper with their addiction. Maybe that is the government's job to give attention to those people, but if those people are not aware of what happened, the government can not help.

You mean they were encouraging him to gamble more, but he quit nevertheless?

Omg, this would be epic. No, i meant that i know cases where relatives were like "You will never recover loser" and this person with a second breath was like "I will show to all of you that i can beat this problem"

There are examples of kids of alcoholics or drug addicts never taking drugs or drinking excessively in spite of  their parents' "examples". Again, it's rare, but it's possible. Such people are real heroes in my eyes.

Yeah, my good friend is against alcohol and drugs mostly because of his father who fell under alcohol addiction

Ive seen most people here say that its just easy to quit without needing other people but when they are on the situation then for sure they cant guarantee that they could get rid of gambling addiction.This is something that you cant really be sure that you would able to solve gambling addiction on your own without the help of others specially if the said addiction is already severe.You can definitely ask help from your loved ones
but there are people who are really ashamed on asking out some help from their loved ones but we dont really have any option because they are the only ones who could help next would be
professional help if it turns out not to be that effective.

The initiative must comes from the addicted individual, otherwise it will be a big waste of time and money. The family, relatives, friends or doctors can't force someone to stop gambling. Only the gambler can take the decision and only then ask for his loved ones' help. There are cases of addicted people who were sent to rehabilitation for long periods, but without any positive effect, since it was the family which was forcing this situation and not the addicted person who wanted to go by himself. Family can help by incentivizing the gambler to seek for help, but if it doesn't happen it's not their fault at all.

Oh, I see, you meant they were not supportive, and pessimistic about his ability to quit. That's actually not that bad. Much better than being encouraged to gamble, or being ignored at all. People, especially your close ones, often say "You will never succeed" actually hoping that you will.

There are examples of kids of alcoholics or drug addicts never taking drugs or drinking excessively in spite of  their parents' "examples". Again, it's rare, but it's possible. Such people are real heroes in my eyes.

Fortunately, this is far from being a rare case. Kids these days are much better than their parents in many ways(I mean, mine included )

[johhnyUA]

Oh, I see, you meant they were not supportive, and pessimistic about his ability to quit. That's actually not that bad. Much better than being encouraged to gamble, or being ignored at all.

Understood.
When I read some dudes posts where they tells that spent 10-20 % of the income on gambling - i'm sure that they have such kind of family

People, especially your close ones, often say "You will never succeed" actually hoping that you will.

Maybe you have a point here. But sometimes they just don't care.

Anyway, as i said above, really good family will force you to go to specialists.

A friend of mine has the same case. His parents are addicted to drugs that they weren't able to work to sustain his studies but he made a different path by making studying possible on his own. He didn't try drugs even once. It still depends on an individual. We could change our future by creating a better path. Gambling addiction couldn't be cured easily yet we can take small steps to correct our actions.

In short, its not an assurance that they could help you off but it isnt really a harmful thing for you to try and as long you do have the money or your family to spent off on seeking professional help
then i dont see any problem on it but if you are really avoiding possible expenses more then you could eventually solve out that addiction by yourself if you do just really ready to accept such changes.
but this wont really be an easy thing to be resolved out because if people do have different mindset and awareness the there would be no addicted person that we would able to see.

It really depends on the person's attitude towards what he sees and how he'll take action from that situation. And that's happening for those people that are gambling, some can't control themselves but there are responsible gamblers that knows what they do and their limitations. So sad to see those that cannot control themselves because they really have no option to stop themselves until someone steps on and guides them and eventually help themselves too.

Nah, I will not say it is easy to quit gambling, especially if we do not realize that we really addicted to gambling because it is hard to stop playing gambling for just one day. We really need other people to help us solve the gambling addiction problem because they can ask us to do something else that can block our minds from thinking about gambling. If we can follow their suggestion to do something else, slowly we can stop gambling and maybe we do not need too long to leave gambling and in the end, we can solve our addiction to a gambling problem. If our family really loves and cares for us, they will see something wrong happen to us and they will help us immediately by taking us to the professional.

I believe that it will be very difficult to quit gambling without any very strong conditions and also force or special treatment from specialists. Moreover, it is about addiction, it may be worse than what we are thinking.
Sometimes, we commonly stare at the very usual people who like and hobby gambling. But in fact, some of these people in addicted and feel so stressed about his condition, but cannot stop gambling even once time.
 every time going to quit, there will be another sweet temptation that always makes his intention to stop being shaky.
Moreover, if he still lives in that environment.

[ReiMomo]

Do not search anywhere. Its you are the only one who can yourself. The moment we realize that we are much addicted to something and we have to get out of it, then yes and thats the moment of change. Many can advice or give counselling. Unless and until the advice is taken inside and worked upon, nothing will change. Get advice where you will get ideas to eradicate the addiction thoughts.

I think going to a psychologist is also one of the important things, how to ask how to avoid addiction, then a psychologist will know what he proposes, including friends around us, the slightest thing can help eliminate and not really do it alone.
This kind of attitude must be in someone's friend because if you are addicted there must be someone who can control it and take good steps to do it.
Especially the most important thing is his close relatives support him.

Indeed. We know that to quit gambling needs big effort from ourselves and build a new habit that does not have any relation with sports and gambling so we can try hard to stay away from gambling. And with help from the specialist and of course, our family, that will not feel too hard as when the family take involve with our problem, they will help us more than the other people. If someone is addicted to gambling and his family sees that, maybe that is a call for his family to help him quickly before he got something worst that they can not imagine. If they can help them, no matter how sweet temptations from gambling, that person can get out from gambling because he will realize that he still has a second chance to have a better life.

Yes the changes should start to ourselves and we must have willingness in order to do it because even our family and some institution help us to overcome the addiction but the gambler itself is not cooperating then nothing will happen. Thus before seeking for a professional help, its a must that you're also determine to change what you used to, its not going to be easy but you can do it slowly.

True, actually every person has their chance to stop the addiction.
But further, the other difficult thing is also the challenge of maintaining not to gamble again.
Let's say that we have been able to stop gambling for several months, maintaining not to gamble in these months may not be easy. And then, it may be difficult enough for the next months again, some people or advertisements may shake our ways to stop gambling 
That is why it is very important to really ensure ourselves, to strengthen ourselves not to being addicted again.

A matter of state of  mind  and its awareness and self discipline for  someone that could potentially stopped his own addiction not only in gambling but in all sorts of addiction in life that could  be possible experienced.

It is a matter of on how a certain individual would really be that serious on quitting on what he do currently experiencing.If on the  time that  you cant help yourself already  then thats the time you would

really need the help of your loved ones or professional help which would really be needed on your addiction treatment but before you do consider this option then always be mindful on quitting yourself first.

To stop the addiction will depend on how they can identify their problem because many gamblers do not know if they are actually addicted to gambling or not and do not admit it. Many of those gamblers have failed from the challenge because they do not have support from themselves and need more support from the other people who will help them back to the right track. If they have the other things to do, I am sure they will stop gambling for more but they can come back to the gambling but in the different perception that they gamble because of fun. They need to have more power to stop their addiction to gambling. Otherwise, they will not have a chance to leave gambling forever.

[Rengga Jati]

really need the help of your loved ones or professional help which would really be needed on your addiction treatment but before you do consider this option then always be mindful on quitting yourself first.

-snip-

That's it.
The supports from people around (closed family, friends,s or people) will really help those who want to stop and out of the addiction.
And the environment will also give the influence. Moreover, if they are still living in an environment with high gambling activities, it may be difficult. that is why sometimes, it needs to sacrifice a few things, including staying away in advance of the environment like that (or away for a long time). Because it will be very difficult when we are still in such an environment to really stop.
With a variety of support and attention from people around loved and trustworthy, with the help of special treatment, and a new environment that might be more conducive and not causing these addicts again, this might be better.
