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?

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.

Drug addiction is far worse. Its the health of the gambler that is at stake and they can do crimes when high and I agree this is very close to gambling addiction since its the environment that influences a person.

I mixed up with a wrong crowd when I go college, it didn't being me to a good future. I don't think I have drug addiction but its always trouble when we are high. Peer pressure is just as influential as the environment that forces you to do things without you realizing it.

one alternative to changing excessive bad habits, especially gambling addiction.  this is one of the tips from healing that can have a good impact on recovery. a person can move from place to place, to the city or to the countryside for a temporary recovery which he is doing in the process of cleaning. the atmosphere in one area can be a trigger in the process of self-improvement or what happens may be the opposite and the most influential factor is strong determination and you have done it.  congrats you have made it through the addiction problem

Environmental change is certainly one of the factors that will change our personality, if we live in a good environment then the possibility of our personality will be better, but if we want to stop gambling I think environmental changes do not guarantee we can change gambling habits because all of this is very dependent on our personal intentions, unlike drug addicts where he can stop using drugs when moving to an environment where people don't use drugs at all so addicts can't find a place to buy drugs in that environment.

I think yes, gambling addicts have a chance to change and become good at something that is beneficial to themselves. That always depends on a gambler’s decision if he wants to help himself change from the addiction he has.

First of all, congratulations because you have gone through and you really went through a difficult process as well to say. But in the end you still managed to change yourself from your gambling addiction with the help of your own family. I am also happy with that and you will not be tempted because you already know how to resist it.

I agree with you that society and environment can have a great impact and influence on the person's lifestyle, But I think personal will and upbringing also plays important role too, I said this because I personally have lived in a very untidy area, a kind of place called ghetto, this was an area filled with criminals, drug addicts, smokers, gamblers, Alcoholics, persons addicted to different kinds of unlawful attitudes and lifestyles, I lived there and in the mist of all this people, I was never influenced by any of this things probably because of the way I was brought up, all my friends that time were addict smokers and gamblers, but I never smoked or gambled until I school took me out of that ghetto to a better place, I start gambling bit by bit when I was much older and already working for my own money.

So, I personally believe that the way a person is brought up and his or her personal will also plays an important role in what a person can allow to influence him or her in the society.

[Zilon]

i agree with you. There are high chances environments can lure people to addictive gambling. It's in very rare occasion where people discipline themselves enough not be get influenced by what the see while they grow. But on average an individual is a product of what the see, hear, experience and interact with and the circumstances that surround their upbringing in our case here a society of gamblers isn't an exception to this. And most of this gamblers turns out gurus and pro gamblers due to the fact the grew with the lifestyle.

Both scenarios can be possible or not depending on the individual as well if he engages in the activities or resist it to not be involve. This kind of questions is always subjective because not in all instances we can't be so sure even on ourselves or someone else's behavior.

[Smartvirus]

With the advent of online gambling, it becomes really hard as to how this could be feasible.
Environment have a vital role in playing in one's development of an addictive character towards gambling and could have also played a huge role as to its reduction but having all these opportunities online makes that a difficult living. The online platform accords you a different environment as well and it could be all an addictive gambler needs to gamble.
There are exceptions to this though as to laws and places with network issues. Mots of all, you need help and discipline to put a stop to addiction. Environment alone can't solve the problem!

when someone wants to live a better life by stopping gambling and moving to an environment far from gambling activities but that person does not have the desire and determination to stop gambling, he will still become a gambling addict.
getting better or it can be said to stop playing gambling is actually not a factor of the surrounding community, but because of their own desires.
so the environmental factor is only 30% to stop gambling and 70% of the main factor is themselves with a strong desire to stop gambling so that their life becomes even better.

If that person has the resources and access to gamble then it's always possible for him to develop that habit. Even without the influence of other people as long as you're somewhat exposed to it then there's always a chance since gambling limits on several casinos are slowly getting lower. It somewhat helps if the people around you don't gamble so you wouldn't be pressured to gamble with them but it's not that impactful because there are gamblers who don't mind gambling on their own.

[Apocollapse]

so the environmental factor is only 30% to stop gambling and 70% of the main factor is themselves with a strong desire to stop gambling so that their life becomes even better.

To be honest environmental is just 5% while your own desire/belief are 95% since environmental doesn't have any strong effect to control your habit. Take an example if you're a smoker and no one is smoking expect you, you wouldn't stop smoking since the caffeine already affect your brain and every time you want to stop, you can't. Any advice of how smoke will make a bad health for you is just a non sense for you, until you sick, you will learn about it. In gambling, after you broke, you will learn.

now almost the whole world has internet coverage and also almost everyone in this world already has devices such as smartphones and laptops, so even though no one is around, anyone can play online gambling. the internet is the link of the world even though there is disaster happening.

Exactly, it will help to come out of addiction. Society and the environment plays a major role in ones life and it changes one's attitude and completely his / her life. Lots of examples can be said on it. When a student who is a non smoker stays in a hostel along with students smoking and drinking, then yes, one or the other day, he tends to try it out and slowly falls to it. Like wise, when a smoker stays with a group of student who do not smoke, he or she tends to leave smoking or reduces slowly.

So obviously yes, when an addicted person is brought out to an environment where none cares about the game he is addicted, he or she will slowly tend to forget it. This is the medicine and this is what is advised by doctors.

In the past gambling is possible offline and people want to reach the Casinos to enjoy gambling. Now everything is possible sitting in the home as internet have connected everything. The technology advancement have made people gamble using smartphones. So, unlike the environment people have begun to gamble. We don't know whether the one next to you is gambling or doing something else. This is how things have advanced.

To get out of addiction these gambling sites have got different features, but I'm not sure these features are keeping people out of addiction.

[suzanne5223]

Yes, society, the environment, and the company people keep determining who will are or who we're going to become in the future but when it comes to a gambling-addicted person's relocation to the environment won't help the person quit gambling or control his buzz if the person is not ready to accept the fact about his addition and take a touchy step which will hurt his affection towards gambling.

[terrorJR]

This is very clearly affecting because what I feel now is that environmental factors are one of the factors that really determine whether they can become addicts or quit addiction.
But in this case when a gambler wants to stop and change their environment by moving or indeed like going away for a while it is quite good, the problem is that we must also have sufficient financial supplies here, not to mention if we have a family. Obviously this is a difficult thing to do.

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.

If you are secretly gambling and you know how to hide your negative habits then yes no one will know that you're into that activity but what if you are on place where people play classical gambling like cards and mahjong? If someone spots you playing everyday then they are now aware that you are into gambling.

When you move into a new location with no gamblers, you cant be influenced to play a gambling but it's still possible to travel back on your old place especially if it's not far only to play gambling again. If someone has strong control of themselves then they won't end up becoming an addict and no need for them to re locate only to stop their negative habits.

Congratulations to you mate.

You did well for overcoming the addiction you've once got and the topic is directly connected to your experience. Having a new set of place and ambiance proved that it can help an addicted gambler.

I guess this won't be just for the addicted gambler but also to those people that are also addicted in other vices.

[serjent05]

This is maybe applicable to a person who is addicted to a land base casino gambling game.  Moving away from the place where the patient's addiction is nurtured, is one of the better methods of controlling gambling addiction but if the person is addicted to online Casino games, then moving out would do nothing especially if the internet connection is way better than the place he came from. It is better to stay and just cut the internet connection off.
