Can change of environment have an effect on gambling addiction.

[Fortify]

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?

Of course someone can fall into gambling, people pick up habits every single day and then find them hard to break. Nobody is perfect and it is very simple to fall under the spell by just engaging a few times. It doesn't require you to be close to people who gamble, nor does the fact that nobody else around you gambles, if you try it and happen to like it too much. Many people can also be looking for an activity to fill the time and end up playing out of boredom, with the little rush that it can supply of dopamine to the brain. On the flipside, a change of environment can actually help to break the cycle and habit, if people are heavily addicted they need a change of scenery or it's very easy to continue.

It can have an impact but the impact that it can have will be limited compared to the will of the person to not gamble again, after all you could move a gambling addict to a country where gambling is illegal, no one gambles and they have as close to a perfect life as possible, but if they want to gamble then they will find a way to do it, on the other hand an environment conductive to gambling addiction could exist and someone could easily resit that temptation as they are not interested on gambling at all as they are aware of the effects it has on the people they see every day.

Life comes at your fast, as they say.

Yeah life comes at us real fast, addiction is like a wired fire waiting to be sparked, a lot can change with the environment and if an addict gets engaged in a positive and productive task with less spare time their mind can easily get twiddled away from they previous addiction. But we must all be aware of the fact that gambling addiction or any other form of addiction, is very fast to evolve but hard to break the chain of the addiction.

[blockman]

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.

Having a good environment will impact the mindset of a gambler. It does help and it couldn't be for some. The good thing about it is that they'll have a new perspective if the environment is really good.
Things that haven't been thought of by the gambler might come in if that person is having a great time dealing with the environment and seeing the beauty of it and it's taking his time rather than having the time to gamble.

[MCobian]

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.

In the end it all depends on the gambler, if indeed he has a strong desire to stop gambling, so moving to an environment where there is
no gambling activity is a pretty good first step. Because if a gambler wants to quit his addiction, but still living in an environment where a lot of
people gamble it will be much harder to stop. Because there are cases of gambling addiction because they are in the wrong environment.
So changing the environment in my opinion is quite influential in the initial process of gamblers to slowly stop gambling activities. Especially
if the gambler is looking for a busy life in a new environment by doing a lot of positive activities, then the process to stop gambling is much faster.

Yeah,a change of environment have so much to do when it comes to gambling addiction.When one is addicted to gambling,it takes the grace of God for him to be free or do without gambling.Nevertheless,when one changes his environment to another environment because of gambling addiction,and the area he goes to does not have a casino center,there is every tendency that the level of hunger for gambling will reduce,because where he will gamble is not available.
It is advisable to leave in a place  where pressure is not too much or competition from friends are not much,where one will be able to manage whatever he or she has.

That's not guaranteed one example is me no one in the house or in my work is into gambling we have the internet and this is where I learn how to play dice as a start and no one is aware that I'm playing dice for a year, times are changing right now you learn things on the other side, which is the internet, people close to you may not aware what you're doing online and one of this is playing in online casinos.

^ That is possible when you cut all access to gambling then, he will probably change.
I remember once my teacher said, "tell me who your friends are and I tell you who you are" because when the same bird flocks together. Sometimes our environments will lead us into addiction and I know we don't want to be alone in life and no one will like that. I did not hear of someone's addiction alone without friends and relatives and if ever there is, probably he has a mental problem.

[Issa56]

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.

That's just the fact, if the gambler is having intention to stop gambling then leaving the environment will really help, but he the gambler was forced to leave the environment, then any slight opportunity he is having then he will definitely go back to it because his mind is still in gambling and he didn't leave the environment because he want to leave.

Yes definitely! The impact of one's environment on where he/she currently stays at is significantly relevant to the point that they are mostly exposed to vices. In comparison, a child who is exposed early into reading, etc. is most likely to develop habits that will contribute to his general knowledge, curiosity from the very start. Just like in gambling, a person will most likely focus on other activities if everyone around him is focusing on productivity.

While this solution may be considered helpful, it is not in anyway absolutely effective. The most effective way of treating gambling addiction comes from the gambler himself, when he/she realizes that what they are doing is wrong.

I think that it can help someone to move from a gambling addict. ut, this is not the only way to make someone recover from the addiction. There must be several factors supported:
- It will work if the environment is friendly enough and exactly support not gambling anymore
- There are still somebody or some people who support him to recover from his gambling addiction
- He has new activities so that he can be busy with the activities and no longer have time for gambling
- Still need specific treatment
It is of course not as easy as we think, but at least, we have tried it.

In reality, yes. There's no 100% way that a person can avoid gambling. Gambling-related stuff is everywhere and even just a simple listening to the radio, watching TV, browsing a Facebook news feed and Tiktok reels, there's a chance that someone can encounter gambling.

Gambling is already part of our society. It's good for me that these persons will encounter gambling as not all of them will be hooked on it. Trust me, it's not really on the environment but on how those people will react once they saw gambling.

Like here in our place, we are a gambling-friendly country and almost all gambling is here but in our circle of friends, I think only 2-3 out of 10+ people are hooked on gambling and those are not even addicted. I mean, I'm the most addicted lol.

See what I'm trying to picture out here? It's on people if they will gamble, not on anything.

At the end of the day each person has the ability to decide to gamble or not.

The environment they live in can make it harder or easier, but it's up to the actual person to decide what to do.

I am with you on this one. If the person has other goals he wants to achieve in life.
His environment won't dictate his future, because he can always change his way of living depending on his disposition in life.
Remember, those stories from poverty, the countless rags to riches stories, so it is the same with this aspect.
The environment is not the ultimate factor that will dictate the future of the person. It is the person himself.

[Rengga Jati]

Simply it can help but need more actions again to strengthen the effort to stop gambling addiction. As we think that it must be very difficult to stop gambling if we are still living in an environment in which most people are gambling, this will be very difficult to have additional recovery.
However, if we are moving to a new environment that is no gambling activities here, which will be helpful.

Although the environment is actually not the only way to help us stop gambling addiction, this is not enough if only depend on the environment. Because we may still addict to gambling online in which nobody around knows that we are still gambling. That is why we need more extra helps and effort from several factors. Our family, medical treatment or rehabilitation with special treatment, ourself awareness, big support from family, and other things that can enhance our spirit to stop gambling. Stoping from a gambling addict is not easy, it is like stopping from smoking addict, and worse.

Changing the environment will not stop the urge unless he is living in an isolated place with no internet or cut off from casinos online and he has positive people around him, that will help him forget gambling but the symptoms are always present when there is an opportunity to gamble or he got online access he will continue to gamble, to stop or cure gambling you need professional help to totally stop it.

So, I believe that the people an individual lives with greatly influence someone's lifestyle and habits.
First, because nobody likes to do something alone, human beings are very social and tend to get involved with what people around them do.

So my answer is "yes"... I believe this addiction can be drastically reduced in a country or region where people don't engage in gambling.

It can be said that people value the environment. In other words, the people will be the same as the environment. However, it seems to me that since all gambling is now online based , he is getting the opportunity to do that gambling even if he is transferred to any new environment. So the effect of the environment that needs to be worn but will not fall on it. Or even if it falls, it will not last long.

it's true and it's become a lifestyle nowadays. Gambling can be done online and even now we have entered the metaverse era, so it will be easier to access gambling. The new environment only affects the lives of the two, but his main life remains in gambling. those who are addicted to gambling will maintain it.
For those who are already addicted to psychological treatment and rehabilitation and there is full support from people around and family.

It is the same as drug addiction , or other addiction mate m so this is something  we must understand that changing location or environment will help in small way but our desire and dedication will help us more.

because even if you isolate yourself from gambling in a meanwhile but surely you will change place in the future again and after that? then you may find your self in gambling again in the future.

so make sure that you will love this to do and dedicate everything against gambling.
