Can change of environment have an effect on gambling addiction.

In Hollywood, Bollywood and lollywood. In all the movies. We see that when people are upset and divested they move.
They change their place. And then they get settled there - since I watch so much movies even in Korean and Turkish movies and dramas people migrate - so there is something in moving. And it surly works.

Well.
Those are movies and the setting depends on the scenery of the story and that's going to be a huge difference if we're going to relate it entirely with those gamblers that are totally addicted.

I understand the comparison but they're just movies compared to real life although we do agree at one thing, that a change of environment or place can touch the mind and heart of an addicted gambler and will make him realize things if it's too much.

Haven't you watched a movie that shows a person who, even though he's moved place, hasn't changed? I agree with @livingfree that it's only in movies, in real life-changing habits aren't that easy, things like that are just movie settings. with almost even coverage of the internet, the probability of a gambling addict stopping gambling is 25%.

Wow, I didn't know that there's that percentage of probability of a gambler to change.

And that's why the will of getting out is important because it's all dependent on them if they want to get out of it for real.

Having not such will just waste effort and time and that's why it's better to just do what you think you're good at. Two things with the environment that we're thinking.

About the actual place where it's all about nature and can breathe fresh air and the other one, the surrounding itself that consists of people nearby to us.

The actual location is indeed a good scenery that might affect the person if ever he is really addicted to gambling,

changing the atmosphere and working to your own will to avoid or totally eliminate any gambling activities that the person is
involve, it's the will that really helps to move away and completely remove this kind of a system inside your mind.

On the other hand, without the will, everything will only turn to nothing a waste of time that will only convert a little
but will just go back to original settings physically or mentally.

It is a way to unwind the gambler and make him think of something new and make himself clear from the atmosphere of gambling. Everyone needs this.

Whoever wants to think outside of the environment of what he used to get into. He has to take some good air to take time to refresh his body and soul.

Of course, most of the time I need to change places to get results from a certain problem. I will give an example: if a person is addicted to the casino, he plays in a casino that is 3 meters from his house, then that person when he goes to the doctor to seek treatment, the doctor starts the treatment section, but every day that person when leaves the doctor and goes home from the casino, this person will be tempted to play again, in this case the best solution is to move the person to a very distant place, where there is no physical casino and not give things with internet access to that person. be able to play online. with these measures plus the treatment at the doctor it will be possible in 1 year or longer for the person to cure the addiction

Exactly. The more contact you have with something, more prone you will be to consume that for your life. That is all about the social environment of your conversations, the physical environment of your way to work which pass in front of a gambling house, the virtual environment which constantly bombards you with gambling ads and video suggestions.

Humans are susceptible to external influences and the brands or companies know how to work with this smartly to challenge, please and fascinate your mind as customer.

Over the years marketing has gotten more and more sophisticated and as such it has become way more effective as well, human psychology has been studied formally for a very long time and those marketing campaigns are making use of it to achieve their goals.

So with this in mind it is becoming more difficult for those which have developed some sort of addiction to avoid the temptations, as not only you will see ads over the TV, but you see them everywhere, like your PC, smartphone, clothes and everywhere you go, so I think that addiction issues will keep growing over the years and there is not much which can be done about it.

Our data is currently being collected without our permission and sold to advertisers. If you have ever searched on your smartphone or browser for information about gambling, you will constantly receive ads with similar content. That is why it is very important if you have decided to get rid of your gambling addiction not to use your old accounts and it is better to give up the internet completely for some time.

Correct, but many people are not informed enough about the tracking abilities that companies have these days, so they make the mistake of keeping their old smartphone or email accounts and that is how those companies keep sending them information related to gambling.

So it is not surprising that now leaving an addiction behind is becoming more and more difficult, and while it is obvious that it can still be done, it is not as if those companies are making the life of those people any easier.

You will agree with me that society and the environment can have a great influence on the lifestyle of every individual, you often can find yourself doing, or being involved in that activity that almost everyone is involved with in that your locale as a result of influence. Now considering someone who is a gambling addict, is there any possibility of him/her becoming better if they are relocated to another environment or society where people around are not involved in gambling?

Yes.

There are times that the main reason why a particular person is gambling is peer pressure. He isn't gambling at first but because of the pressure coming from his friends, they pushed him to gamble and when he find it very entertaining and at the same time he wins on it then it will continue and that is the start of him getting addicted to gambling. Now if he will be relocated and will go to a place where there is no casinos to gamble with then he will gradually change especially his attitudes and he might return to his actual self before he was involved into gambling.

Can someone still develop the habit of gambling and become an addict even though no one around gambles?

I think it still depends on the situation.

There are some gambling addicts who are stopping whenever they can't find any casinos nearby but there are some especially those who has a high level of addiction that will find any way just to let them do what they want to do which is gambling. Now that we are in a digital era where you can gamble with the use of smartphones, a gambler might try to gamble online if he can't find any casinos nearby so there is still a chance that he might be addicted of gambling even when no one around gambles with the help of smartphone and internet.

It should not be easy for these people to give their email account addresses or mobile numbers to other parties so that they will not receive information about offers to play gambling again if they move. This is very important to note so that we will not become victims again because, after all, we want to avoid gambling so we decide to move places. But it will all be useless if their offers still tempt us because we can easily follow them without thinking twice, making our life riskier.

the desire is sometimes not in line with the actions taken. The intention to stop gambling by doing a job you like and doing positive activities will be in vain if there is no real action. It is indeed difficult to remove the gambling system that has stuck in the mind, because it becomes a habit every day. But it is not something that is impossible to eliminate. need rehabilitation to overcome gambling addiction that has ruined his life. There must be support from the surrounding environment.

nothing is impossible if we  really wanted this to happen , Our courage and dedication together with perseverance will always be our weapon in shouldering difficulties in life .
I wonder why there are so many addicted gamblers that cannot hide from gambling when there are some that I knew in which now a gambling free human from their past addiction .

It was not hard to ignore those emails if we really wanted to change our lives and stop gambling forever.
With the help of our family, nothing is impossible as long as we help ourselves as well. We have to make busy our minds think about something (not gambling) to diversify our focus and let addiction heal gradually until it was done. It needs a new environment and I believe this is a very effective way.

I agree with you. I always thought that he who really wants to deal with the problem and not run away from it and not blame everyone around him for his mistakes will sooner or later get rid of problems... As long as a person has a sense of dignity and a head on his shoulders he is capable of a lot - you just need to have the desire and move in the direction of your goal.

With help of your family little by little those people who got addicted will get away by this addiction but they also need to help their selves because if their family members do all what they can do to help them out and still the person affected is not participating nor helping his self maybe all of those efforts will be nothing. For this changing environment away from gambling scene will be suitable case to those people because for sure slowly by slowly they might forget about gambling.

While this is also true, that a person who has the sense of discipline and integrity can solve the problem on his own and not point-fingers, it is also true that changing environment can actually help or even alleviate a situation someone is currently in. I think running away isn't really a bad thing especially if it is the environment that negatively affects you and your well-being. If the situation doesn't sit right with you, you are uncomfortable with it, and it does more bad than good, then leaving is one way to resolve your problem. After all, a toxic place couldn't be a safe haven. You have to remove yourself from it so you can relax and be stress-free.

The same way applies with gambling. If you know it to yourself that you can't handle the surroundings that you are in, then time to go someplace you can unwind and perhaps change for the better version of yourself. We owe it to ourselves that we become the improved narrative of our past self.

Maybe it's not that hard but some people can't ignore those emails and are instead interested in getting the offer. Those who really want to change their lives will not be attracted by the offer because they are already committed to change so they can take care of themselves. Especially if they tell his family that he is having a hard time changing his life, his family will help him to change. I agree to keep our minds busy thinking about something, especially thinking about work problems and trying to stay focused on that work so we don't have time to think about gambling.

Moving to the another place will not solve the problem. So many people can addict with online gambling that can be accessed from anywhere. So, it will not help a lot for people who have become addicted in online gambling.
The trust is if people must also have intention from their own mind to suggest for himself if he must try to avoid gambling. The only way for people to recover from being addicted with gambling.

It is indeed difficult to remove the gambling system that has stuck in the mind, because it becomes a habit every day. But it is not something that is impossible to eliminate. need rehabilitation to overcome gambling addiction that has ruined his life. There must be support from the surrounding environment.

what you say, is a real case that often happens to anyone who wants to get out of his addiction. Honestly, I've experienced it.  however, if someone just wants to quit without doing anything real I think it's just pointless. as you said, I completely agree. 

IMO, it's impossible to really quit unless you don't have money to gamble with, the problem is how one views gambling.  I think moving from one place to another is not the right solution if it is not accompanied by intention. 

in my experience, there is no need to change places, or try to rehabilitate yourself, just train yourself with full awareness to change and don't forget to change the perspective of gambling itself. and it worked for me, however i still do gambling just part of the fun with limited amount and even then it is done only when i have time off after work activities.

[Bitinity]

Yes if "no one around" means family or friends. The internet made it possible. People can learn a lot and have easy access to information online. Teens or young adults can be easily influenced when their "idol" starts promoting some gambling platforms on social media.

This is now the most influential thing that may affect our life. Even if we live in a place where no one around (IRL) gambles, the internet world may attract us to do something that we do not even know before. Environment is not only in real life but also in online world especially social media. What we need to do is to keep ourselves away from any negative effects on both real life and online in order to stay away from any addiction.

[Betwrong]

~ Well, in the end it's up to the person himself if he wants to change and get rid of addiction or not. A good environment can help him in making decisions and will help him let go of what he thinks is important for him. And with the cooperation of everyone in this new environment, then he'll have the best chance to finally let go of his old ways.

But the most important thing here is his/her will to end their addiction. Don't blame the environment or anything. Don't search for excuses because you'll find millions of them if deep inside you don't want to stop being addicted. Do the opposite: while remaining in the same environment look for something that can distract you from gambling.

I agree that our power of will is the ultimate thing and people can create great lives and get out of struggling situations
but it's also worth noting how the environment can affect us, being in a calmer place, in contact with nature, not rushing, not eating junk food and exercising will improve our lives in many levels.

Still depend on the location where you moved because if that certain location will still associate you with gambling then there's really a high chance that you will indulge the same activity they seek but if that environment is neutral, like the people surrounding you is not gambler then there's also a high chance that you will find yourself doing what others do because you will start to forget the gambling because of the new habit they introduce to you.
