[Twinkledoe]

Is seeking a new strategy or thinking of betting while you are sleeping signs of addiction? If not, what are little signs that unfold you are becoming a gambling addict?

Anxiety and irritability are just two of the signs, they cannot wait to get online to play and they save money for their gambling activities to the point that, they steal or loan money just to gamble, when they exceed the allocation, that's a sure sign that they are very much into gambling and have lost their control.

It's hard to spot addiction right now where we can just play at home without telling anyone, we must monitor ourselves and monitor every gambling activities that we have, this can result to a much serious problem if you are unable to control yourself. Addiction, depression, anxiety everything can ruin your life in instant, this is a bad result of bad habit in gambling. If you have signs like this, consult the expert and cure that now before you become totally broke.

Or if you feel that you are heading to big trouble owed to gambling, decide for yourself if you want to follow your desire or save your life from addiction while you can. Because once you are too deep in this game, that's when you find out that trouble is like chasing you. Asking help from your family is not something you can be ashamed of because you will find out that they will be happy to support your change of lifestyle.

Wait thinking while Sleeping ? meaning are you dreaming ? or in bedtime?

If you are thinking while before sleeping then that is already addiction because instead of thinking for what food to buy for tomorrow what you are planning is another expenses.

There are some moments that we get to dream of what we used to think before sleeping. That's really happening and it's caused by overthinking what we'd like to do and that's when you get to enjoy gambling and even thinking of strategy, profits, or recovery most of the time.
Gamblers that tend to have that experience are experiencing serious addiction and they have to recognize that for themselves as it's only one of the signs that they have to know because there's a lot more.

Maybe some of them who feel their lives are messed up will know that something wrong happens to them and decide to stop gambling for a while. But the other will not realize instead searching for the other money to continue gambling. Sometimes those people use the money for their daily life to be used for gamble. If that is the case, those gamblers will slowly become addicted to gambling and no one care about them, and they will become heavily addicted someday. The sign will be there, but that will depend on how they can see what really happens to them.

I think that if a person is at least minimally socialized, then he will definitely receive a signal that his gambling addiction is destroying his life. This information can be provided to him by relatives, work colleagues or neighbors. How he will perceive this information is another question, if he ignores it, this means only his conscious choice.

I guess his relatives, work colleagues or neighbors will feel that he slowly becomes an addiction but he might do not think much about that and only accept what they say. If he can introspect about what is happening to himself, that is good for you. Otherwise, he will still play gambling without listening to their relatives. However, some of those people can turn back to the right path and can realize that they have a bad habit that slowly destroys their lives and never come back again to gambling.

The moment that you care nothing to care but to find money for gambling ? then that is a clear meaning of Addiction and you are out of control .

There are only few situation that this behavior can survive addiction but majority of them loss their jobs ,family and friends and sometime even Life because of addiction .

Gamblers don't realize they are addicted to gambling until it's worse which they've done unthinkable already like breaking the piggybank of his kid just so he could gamble again. But you as a gambler can also notice it to yourself before you get to the worse situation like selling valuables like jewelry so you could play again.

My experience -

- When I used to gamble a lot in past and lost the money I earned through my services, then after losing it there will be an unbearable pain in the middle part of the chest, So it's a natural sign people should stop and don't continue in gambling with money they can't deserve to lose but most of the time it gets worse, I'm glad I'm out of it.

- Addiction is mostly not being able to stop gambling no matter what happens, and people lose everything after going on a losing streak including their homes.

No, I guess it's part of the normal betting technique.
In general, the first indication that someone likes something excessively is from the topic of conversation that is always thrown at everyone. I honestly can't read the signs of addiction physically. Someone who has been difficult to get out of the gambling circle will rarely be seen in the social sphere because all day long at the gambling table or monitor screen.

The only sure signs that can only be read and studied are the stories of those who have managed to overcome addiction.

Gambling addiction develops a long gradual process symptoms are seen separately in progress at this stage. At first they are very pronounced and not indefinite classic symptoms and complaints appear as the cause of addiction increases the initial indication of developmental gambling addiction due to early victory may be exaggerated behavior he sells everything and sells his house to gamble. If you or a loved one repeatedly tries to stop gambling it may be a sign that you have lost control of your gambling addiction and need help.

Wait thinking while Sleeping ? meaning are you dreaming ? or in bedtime?

If you are thinking while before sleeping then that is already addiction because instead of thinking for what food to buy for tomorrow what you are planning is another expenses.

There are some moments that we get to dream of what we used to think before sleeping. That's really happening and it's caused by overthinking what we'd like to do and that's when you get to enjoy gambling and even thinking of strategy, profits, or recovery most of the time.
Gamblers that tend to have that experience are experiencing serious addiction and they have to recognize that for themselves as it's only one of the signs that they have to know because there's a lot more.

And if we thought of gambling even in our dreams, but most of the times we are really going to do it the next day because it is somewhat instilled in our mind. And if that happens, the first sign of being addicted sets in. Well I guess it's ok to think about your lost and what not and what went wrong and that's it. You can't just go back and play again and again and losing money in return. We should control ourselves and think about the money we could have spend on.

What i believe is we are dreaming of the other way around from what we are thinking , meaning our dream is opposite of what we are in mind while sleeping.
But indeed that once a person is bringing gambling even in His dreams? then this is a sign of gambling addiction because there are lots of things we need to think even in sleep that is more important than gambling .
but of course sometimes this is isolated case only and not really what is tended to be.

Is seeking a new strategy or thinking of betting while you are sleeping signs of addiction?

this happens to me before . i dreamed of betting and then winning the jackpot but later i woked up and realized its only just a dream .
i felt so bad but dreaming of creating a strategy ? that was crazier but both of this two is a sign of getting addicted to gambling because your over thinking of it the whole day or you have been gambling all day .
this is not healthy anymore and we need to minimize our gambling activity before it gets worst

Never happen to me but there are dreams that I got to find a Bunch of paper bills in trash can , and when i woke up? i tried to look around where did i put the money lol.
Surely this is not a sign of addiction but sign of desperation because that time i really badly need funds for billings .

thats funny and sad at the same time because there are dreams that close to being real and maybe you arent really addicted if that was the only moment you experience it but that is a sign that you need to work for real to earn money so that you can pay your bills .
 money can soon pour to you if you learn to budget and pay bills on time and  you wont get a simillar dream anymore if that bothers you.

Yes, a person's ability to correctly understand the signals from the outside world is very important. If his wife tells him that some habit (not necessarily gambling) begins to negatively affect their family life and the gambler ignores such information, then this is a serious problem. And, by the way, the root cause of these problems is often incomprehensible - gambling or problems in the family that encourage someone from the family to go into some kind of addiction in order to get distracted.

If that's what you think, that's totally fine. But that happened to me when I am overthinking, what I had in my mind goes through my dream too. I don't have any evidence but only my experience and that happened not only once but many times. It's like dreaming of the best day that has ever happened to us and because we're too overwhelmed, even in our dreams, that day has reflected and shown because we're too happy to think about it most of the time and that's the same when a gambler overthinks too.

That's the problem of some, because of their ego or pride, even so many people are already telling them about their addiction, they won't accept it, because for them, their bad habit is just normal, nothing to be worry about, but that's not true. Gambling addiction is a real problem, especially if you have your own family already, as a father or a mother, you should both act as a good example to your children, give them everything they need, provide their daily needs, and raise them well, not let them see you getting addicted to Gambling.

[acener]

The only sign that we need to acknowledge it is they are always thinking about gambling,
Thinking about strategy profit or even when could they gamble,
If they are already thinking too much about gambling then they are already addicted to it.

Correct, sign of addictions that being confessed by those who managed to getaway from this problem,

There are people who shared their past experiences about how they've been engaged too much and lose all their savings just to keep playing, reading how things started from their shared stories gives us ideas to how we should assess our engagements to this form of entertainment, most of the time gamblers mixed it out between enjoying and trying to win more that leads into addiction.

[seleme]

That is the worst feeling ever, the only thing that turns on your mind is to find the money for gambling more. A similar physiological urge can be found in meth addicts, there is nothing more valuable than gambling when the addiction urge kicks in. The worst part of the story is to sell valuable belongings to continue chasing losses, that is why I don't support Youtube fake stream videos that push ordinary people to casinos with lucrative promises.

Thus, if you value your money, then you can never be in gambling. But somehow, people are gambling just want to please themselves, either they get home with losses or winning, it was not important for them at least they enjoyed. But if your goal in doing gambling is to win (the main reason by most) you can't decline any possibility that we just hook up by addiction. And those videos that we can see on youtube are a sort of marketing strategy, it is a sort of market promotion, and it's up to us if really believe what they showed on youtube.

TBH, I like to gamble for hunting big multi, spending time, and being a participant in huge promotions. Hunting gambling challenges are more fun than just spinning any slot, with this way I can double the possibility of making money on online casinos. Regarding the losers who constantly keep donating to casinos, they are addicted to feeding their eagerness every single day. They keep losing and losing until the day their bank savings become zero which is the last ladder unless they will go for a loan to chase losses. As a mental illness, taking a loan to keep gambling is called degen betting, there are no good signs in such cases. Better to completely avoid gambling rather than wasting your money, energy, time.

I am sure a wife will see if something wrong happens to his husband because his wife is the closest person to that man. So she will suggest he stop gambling or his wife will try to distract his husband if he wants to go out. A good and wise wife will do many things to prevent his husband involve in gambling because that can give a bad side for their family and maybe his wife will give another solution that his husband never think before.

An addiction is a mental illness, and the major indication of an addiction is a lack of control. Unfortunately, many are more addicted to gambling more than they are willing to admit to.

The major characteristics of "lack of control" is "choices". That is the level or degree to which someone is addicted to gambling directly reflects on the choices he makes daily.

A simple decision to cut a meal so to have enough money or more money to gambling is a sign of addiction, a simple decision to ignore a social gathering in a bid to go gamble is a sign of addiction, the decision to keep playing and loosing ones income without even stopping to calculate and strategize properly for lower losses and wins is a sign of addiction. Having over 80% of your conversation daily with people about gambling even when they are fellow gamblers or not or show interest or not is a sign of addiction because one has not been able to exercise control.

[hahay]

The only sign that we need to acknowledge it is they are always thinking about gambling,
Thinking about strategy profit or even when could they gamble,
If they are already thinking too much about gambling then they are already addicted to it.

This is true and usually their close friends will realize it, because players who always think about gambling basically only think that at that time they must prepare the funds and strategies that will be used, so they will not realize that they have entered into an addiction. But even if close friends say to stop, then such initial advice will be easy for them to ignore because they are in a good situation in gambling itself so their fun will not be easy to stop. So yes, I think the signs of gambling addiction can in fact be noticed from the start but it comes back to the players themselves, because whatever the next step is, they will decide for themselves.

I can tell you from my own experience - sometimes I bet on important football matches, for example the Champions League, or the European Championships... But sometimes I get greedy and want to bet on unfamiliar events, such as the Brazilian league or something similar... That's when I realise it's time to stop! Perhaps the first sign of addiction is the emergence of greed...
