Can change of environment have an effect on gambling addiction.

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

No! because no one right there will gonna teach them or no one they see to inspire them such habit. though they will see some examples on Television, it's really nothing compared to the actual environment where you find yourself doing what most of the people do in your community. But when you see someone playing gambling in your place, the first thing you will gonna feel is curiosity and it depends on whether you like it or not, when you feel happiness, looking at it, there's a high chance for you to fall for it and you will find yourself one of the guys who have some endless thought on what he will do next to win big.

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?

To answer your question,

1.If someone have the decision of changing location due to his addiction to gambling and use this as a means of helping his/her out of this situation, Then "Yes" but must have to engage self with other activities in that locale, hence you might be tempted to finding means to continuing your gambling in that new environment, Except if that environment doesn't have network /internet and no betting shops around.

2. Though base on research that addition to gambling could be linked to traits /heredity, However something must spark it up as someone begins to grow or start getting mature which could be Persistent of exposure to gambling friends or environment.
can make someone gradually develop gambling habit. In the absence of this factors,  Then "No" is the answer.

Environmental Impact on individual behavior is high, and if an addict can change the environment and get involved in other activities different from gambling there will be changes. Our environment often time push and influence our decisions and if our mind can be disengaged from our addiction, the urge to feed such addiction will be broken and change can be effective.

We must consider the power of the internet now, we may not have friends around who are not into gambling but how about your friends on the internet who are into gambling or sites that you visit those show banners and links about 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?

If that place who do not have internet access and the place has many activities that are not gambling-related or things that will not remind you of gambling

Addiction to gambling involves addiction to online casinos, there are gambling addicts in places that do not have casinos or anything about gambling.

[danherbias07]

He or she will find a way to do it even in an environment where people don't gamble much or no physical casinos around.
We have the internet as a good start. They can access a lot of gambling sites to make it happen. Almost every house today have access to the internet and he will definitely find it with all the advertisements on social media to articles with small windows of ads.
It will still depend on the individual's mental strength if he wants to change his habit. If he does, then a good environment could really work.

The only country that this would work is if you go to God forbid Saudi Arabia.There pretty much you are restricted from any freedom except the freedom to practice religion if I am not wrong.You cannot go out there and have an alcoholic drink with a friend,nor can you go with a hooker if you need immediate sex,nor you can watch porn unless you use a VPN service,nor you can flirt with a girl as you will get arrested pretty soon (not that there are girls there,everyone is wearing something that covers the women completely).

By going to that country you surely will lose your gambling addiction as no one there gambles but you will lose many other life freedoms that we have in the West.The choice is yours.

Yes environment is one of the big factor why a person get addicted on gambling because for continuous seeing those people gamble especially there friends for sure he will also get influenced by them especially when he see that those people are enjoying the games they play. This is how addiction starts and also once they hit big wins then provably this will lead people to gamble more since they are aiming to win huge money again.

Yes, I agree that society and the environment can influence every individual. But that influence will not really affect our lives as long as we have clear boundaries on how we will live our lives.

And regarding gambling, maybe he would be better off if he was transferred to a neighborhood or society that wasn't involved in gambling. But if he does not get treatment or is not given help to overcome his addiction, he will be difficult to cure. The easiness of the internet everywhere can still provide a way for that person to access gambling easily because we know that many people play gambling through gambling.

Relocation and a change in environment can have positive effects on addictions. I don't know much about gambling addictions, but we have other addictions in our family that are very severe. My little cousin is gaming addicted, he already played games daily since a very you age. When he went to university my uncle rented him his own apartment where he started gaming all day. It took the family 1.5 years to realise that he never went to university and played every day at home, while lying to the family that he was getting good grades. Since his addiction is so severe there is no more chance for him to live alone. He is now at farm with other addicts and gets supervised while working with animals. I assume with gambling addiction is similar, you lie to your friends and family while everything spirals out of control. Relocation can help to break old habits, but only as part of a therapy. As for people gambling around you I think it's not so common now since most people gamble online. Most interaction with other gamblers is online.

This is very possible, many gamblers start from having interest in sports and football to be precise which has the highest fans and spectators, right from what we do from childhood contribute to our craving for sport gambling when we grew up, there are some children that don't have access to move around or privileged to be in areas dominated by gamblers but due to their interest and commitment to sport games they have fun when doing it and will also derive good pleasure in playing them as gamble in other to rate their performances in it, the environment we lived in can influence both positive and negative impact of gambling on young adults if they are subjected to it.

Even without exposure to sports actually there will always be someone who will try to become a bookie. In prison, they still bet whatnkind of whether they'd see the next day.  All the more with people who plays sports.

Its really up to someone who manages to quit whats making them worse. The shutting up the devil inside an addict can be hard and all it takes for an addict to get back into gambling is when he sees it posible to win a bet.

Temptations are everywhere and no matter where a person goes if he's really into gambling, his environment couldn't stop him because gambling is a personal choice. If a person knows how to control himself, he will quit or stop gambling even if he's in an environment where the gambling situation is worse.
The environment has an impact yet it still depends on a person on how he will handle gambling addiction.

] Yes it is possible, to become an addicted gambler doesn't necessarily mean that you're around gamblers this is because once you have known what gambling is all about and you have involved yourself in gambling activity, you will gamble even though you are in an Ireland alone. Becoming an addict is very simple, first of all, you will develop an increasing interest in gambling then repeatedly you will be unable to have self-control over your urge to always gamble.



The environment you find your self matters a lot and can influence you positively or negatively depending on the character of the people who occupy there and who you are associated with also, if you find yourself in an environment dominated by gamblers if you wanna be free from them and your gambling habit you need to move away from there and avoid getting closer to a gaming house or any place where gambling is done, you can also visit a Rehabilitation Center in case your addiction needs medical artention.

suitable, it leads more to the factor of addiction, where a person has learned about gambling, the desire and curiosity to repeat it is getting bigger for them.

In fact, many things cause a person to have a change or develop talent they want to gamble or not, I do not deny about the situational circumstances, where a person can influence, in terms of the environment or group where he lives or friends, wanting to feel considered mature by friends is also a trigger factor to fall into gambling.

But principles, disciplines, traits or beliefs can also defeat or make someone fall into / develop gambling, there are also those who don't care about the environment and circumstances around them, meaning: the environment can be bad and good, the core goes back to the individual itself, I mean good or bad choices, humans have reason for their choices.

This is very possible, the scenario I have seen went from fun to complex life. This guy was playing fun for, it was sports games and he play the little he could afford to lose until he started using many that weren't his, the loss was compiling and decided to play revenge gambling by playing 3 games with 3 teams and wage high amount of money, he thought he could win back at least 1 to recover all the losses, the tickets didn't work out as predicted, it was his family that help him out at long last to settle the debts.

Someone who comes from an environment or society used to gambling will have the opportunity to change for the better because he will feel embarrassed to try to play in his usual gambling place.

What are you going to say with online Casinos, a gambler can visit a non-gambling environment and still use a VPN or Thor to bypass the restriction and play with confidence and still cash out without any difficulty.

[fiulpro]

Ofcourse
Environment holds everything, If you are with active gamblers that does mean that you would not find gambling that exclusive and would have go to friends to try it, another example, If you live near a casino it would be easier for you to go there and use the news deals and stuff, If you are honestly living and having environmental influences from your friends and family you can eventually start gambling without even realizing, therefore it's always the environment that plays a vital role. I do think environment> genetics as well when we consider gambling and other syndromes like addiction.

just my opinion, but yeah, I think it would help. but a change of environment does not mean it would cure the addiction, therapy would still be needed to help you cope with your addiction.

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

of course, just because no one around that person gambles does not mean he won't be exposed to gambling in other ways and gets addicted.

[Reid]

Actually, worst things may happen with this kind of approach. Put them in a clean society and they will try to find ways to do it and the gambler will be culprit in producing more gamblers in a clean society by hiding their business in the garage, bunker, or anywhere they will not be seen.
It's not the gamblers that will change but most likely the people around him. That's possible. It's not really hard to do it by just inviting them over a friendly card game then it could emerge to something else that includes money on the line.

I think those are 2 pretty different questions.  Can someone get addicted to gambling regardless of their environment?  Sure.  I don't see why not.  One big early win and anyone could get hooked...  I also think that changing environment could be a positive for someone facing gambling addiction.  With any addiction, a change is a good catalyst to kick the addiction and replace it with something new.  Maybe your new environment is conducive to a new hobby or some other interest may take up your free time.  Gambling isn't special.  Anyone can get addicted to anything if they aren't careful.  Life comes at your fast, as they say.

[hahay]

Yes it is very possible but believe me, if the gambler still has the opportunity to go to a gambling place and or still has internet access to gamble online. So live in a place or environment without gambling but the gambler will continue to gamble, but if the gambler really intends to avoid gambling by having new activities and activities in a non-gambling environment, then of course the gambler will easily leave his gambling habit. No one can fight determination and strong will but indeed, if you are forced to live in an environment without gambling for gambling addicts, it is the first way for them to stop gambling, because over time they will start to get used to a social life without gambling.
