Can change of environment have an effect on gambling addiction.

[Rruchi man]

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?

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

If a certain gambling addict would be moved out on a place which he had been surrounded by people who arent into gambling then it would really be just common sense that he would really be finding a local physical

casino which he would definitely be seeing those co-gamblers who would really be playing because it is really just having two possible ways on dealing or playing gambling whether on physical or online ones.

If we do talk about online gambling then it wont really be an issue no matter where you do make yourself placed and as an addict then you wont really be caring into your surroundings most of the time
or simply been ignored because the main priority you do have is to play no matter whose around or no matter on where you are which it wont really be that an issue after all.

It’s really up to you, no one can know that you are into gambling and changing location or moving into a new environment doesn’t restrict you from playing again. Having a self-control will still matter here because by this, you can be more effective and might be able to stop that gambling addiction to happen. Changing environment will only give you a positive lifestyle, and its really your choice.

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

Yes.

As long as he is able to access Internet and his phone, as long as there are gambling sites that he can assess. Remember he can even still be able to access the gambling site he is using in his former environment even if he has changed his environment. So all he needs to gamble can be with him in just one room, so nothing changed.

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

Sure. Bring this someone to an isolated fishing village with nothing and in a week he will become a fisherman. Its going to change his activity within a day and although he may miss gambling, he might not find someone who'd play with him. The last thing he may just be doing is watch TV to replace the entertainment he was used to.

This is reflects to who his companions are just as the phrase "tell me who your friends are and I will tell you who you are". Your friends are part of your environment.

Cut off his online access then yes.

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

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.

Usually, gambling addicted are victims of not having another activity to prove themselves in real life. They rely on fast earning by doing gambling to get a fast luxury life.
According to many experiences in the Psychology field, patients with behavioral addiction fr gambling can fight their illness by doing alternative productive activities and the rest of the time doing sports and other hobbies. It's the illusion of becoming rich fast which guide them to addiction.

[Slow death]

In today's world of technology where almost everyone has smarphone, internet and computers, people don't even need to be influenced by the environment, they isolate themselves and stay on the internet all the time and end up alone entering the world of gambling addiction. you can research this in your neighborhood and you will see that people addicted to gambling are not on the street constantly, they are not with friends, so they do not become addicted due to the influence of the environment, on the contrary they isolate themselves and stay only on the internet where they become addicted to gambling

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?

I think there are conditions before we can say that the relocation is effective to help a gambling addict to recover such as:

If the gambling addict relocates to a place where there is no access to any gambling platform.
If the gambling addict decided to divert his attention away from gambling activities and do other time-consuming hobbies.

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

Yes, being hooked on gambling can happen to anyone.  Regardless of the environment as long as he has access to a gambling platform and decided to put huge time and attention into this kind of activity.

i agree what you have mentioned - there is a big influence of environment on the people. Like gambling is a very common thing which is done in the west but if you go to Islamic countries - you would not be able to find even one casino in the whole country also you will have difficulty finding alcohol. But in west. . on the other hand you will see people drinking on road sides.

It will not make him better if he finds people drinking on the road sides, it gives him the idea to do the same. Seeing them drink influences him to drink as well.  A person has to fight the urge whether he is addicted to gambling or alcohol, he has to first be influenced by the environment.

A crowd full of addicts, its a party and the judging eyes will not even work for them.

maybe in today's generation, the environment factor is getting less impact in terms of gambling addiction. but if your environment has traditional gamblers where you will wake up in the morning, having people around the table playing cards, i believe, this will have impact in your life.
but for younger generation, as the access is now easy via digital gadgets, it now depends on how their peers are influencing them when it comes to gambling. because some want to be cool and follow what's in, they will do what others are doing in social media, that kind of thing.

There is certainly a big impact for each of us in terms of environment and the society where we live on. The society that's near you can hone you to become better or get the worse of you.

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?

Possible.

If that addict is being placed to a society where there are no gamblers and they all speak about better living. There's a big chance that addicted gambler will change eventually and will also be influenced by that society where he is.

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

Yes, it's a personal decision and behavior whether you have someone influenced you or none.

[Issa56]

I dont think changing location can really have impact on gambler, since the user is already addicted to gambling i believe even if nobody around him gamble he will still gamble as long as he is having his mobile phone and he is having access to the internet then he will still continue to gamble. their are lots of gambling site online which you dont have to visit local shops before you gamble so even if the gambler change location he will still gamble.

Environment really affects anyone, it can be for good or for bad it all depends, but the thing is we still have the power to make our lives better if you still want to gamble and gets addicted to it you're the one accountable for that. Little by little we will have change as we adapt the changes in our environment, so wthr answer is it is still depends on your willingness to change.

A little agree with you, the environment greatly affects a person's life but only 60%-70% maybe. The gambling addict is due to the habit factor, freedom in his life so that he does't  discipline himself. Getting better depends on himself, whether he will continue gambler addict or not, even if he is placed by the family to a healthy environment.
Well now, the world is getting advanced with new technology he can develop himself as a gambling addict through the internet and digital money, unless he doesn't have both it might be difficult.

What's the concern of being addicted to gambling where in return, that gambler is still responsible outside their gambling activity? Do you think that these gamblers are totally out of their mind because they are addicted? Why there's a need for them to be relocated and force them to change if they know what they are doing.

Didn't you realize that professional gamblers are all addicted to gambling?

To answer directly your question, gambling is everywhere. Even if they will be put in an environment or society where people are not involved in gambling, these gamblers can still find a way to gamble. Everyone has an access to the internet, buddy. Imagine even those in a place where gambling is illegal, for sure there are not many gamblers around there, but these people can still find a way to gamble.

If the goal is to stop these people, put them on a gambling recovery program and focus to change their mindset to do other activities.

Totally hard to believe on living on a place which doesnt have internet or simply your mobile phone on which you cant possibly deal with online things which signifies that you could really gain through access with those places and if you are really that addicted enough with gambling and you cant do it on physical manner then you would opt in dealing with online gambling.

Place or environment could definitely make out some effect on at least diverting your attention into other aspect but its still up to someone on how he would really be convincing himself
on stopping at least gambling activity.

Bust just like on what others been saying that if you are not prepared nor accepted to quit gambling or take some break with gambling then you would definitely finding ways.

[Oceat]

Of course, it will help since it looks like a rehabilitation center for them but what do you mean by this? I mean, if someone is being put there without being forced then realistically they could just get out anytime they want and if someone is addicted to gambling, I don't think they would last a day staying on that place unless if someone is guarding them so that they don't just leave the place.

If you want someone to change their habits they should help their selves and not just you offering something so that they won't do it again. It takes courage to let someone change or maybe a hard lesson that they won't forget but it's up to them in the end.
