Can change of environment have an effect on gambling addiction.

[_act_]

when a gambling addict only has the desire to quit gambling without any lessons such as losing all valuables and running out of money in gambling, he cant quit gambling.

If a gambler has not lost in gambling, he is not a gambling addict, the bad quality of an addict is that they gamble always until they have no more money to gambling with. So it is not possible for an addict to have never lost before, he would have lost several times and gambling would have become a problem for him, that is what is called an addict.

because like me as a gambling addict it is very difficult to stop gambling. when i have no money i will quit gambling, but when i have more money, i will return to gambling to betting my money again.

There are different types of gambling addicts, there are some that will not have money and will not gambling until they have money, but there are even worse ones that do not have money but can borrow because of gambling, if such people have property, they can even sell it.

Changes in behavior depending on the environment, it seems true. I feel I will be very religious if I continue to be in a religious environment or only make friends with religious people. It can also happen to gamblers, they will be easily influenced to gamble if they live in a gambler's environment.

Once when I was 19 years old, I made friends with those who smoked marijuana. I see them every day and they are always smoking marijuana, and once for some reason I really wanted to try what marijuana looks like even though I've basically never tried it. It is an experience, so it may have something to do with how a person may experience changes in their behavior towards their environment.

Although it depends on a person. I believe our environment somehow affects our personal decisions. I am a disciplined gambler but put me in a gambling community and I might gamble a little more.

Just last year I transferred into another house. I am now in a silent community. So I only gambled online now. Unlike in my old place where I had my bets online and at the same time I also gambled against some people there.

That is the importance of choosing a good environment, because sometimes we do not realize that we are easily influenced by the environment.
Indeed there are people who have strong principles in their lives, so the environment around them does not change them, but the number of such
people is very few. The reality that I found in my life, most people will indeed be affected by the environment in which they live. That's why I limit
myself when I meet people whose behavior I think is negative, because I don't want to be influenced by them. Likewise when we don't want to be
addicted to gambling, we must avoid an environment where many people gamble, otherwise we will be affected and can gamble excessively.

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 you are not yet gambling no it cannot develop, gambling is associated with the stimulus, feeling, and emotion if there is no one around you that will introduce or a place where you have a chance to play you will not be stimulated to play, you don't wake up and find yourself that you want to gamble, you have to start somewhere or you find a place where you get stimulated to gamble.

I guess it is not gambling which have an effect on person. IT is the mood of person - or anxiety or depression which gets better with the change of environment.
I feel good when I leave my place for some time for the mood change or to overcome depression or anxiety. Surly it does have an impact.

I think yes. It is better to relocate addicts to a new environment that has no gamblers. It will support him to recover faster because it will be easy to forget gambling in an environment free of gamblers. The perspective and way of life of the residents in a new environment can be an inspiration for addicts to stop gambling. They must open their eyes that life without gambling is possible. Or they finally can realize that there are too many people who live without dependence on gambling.

Gambling is at its core a social activity. This is how it was created, but with all the flashy designs of the online casinos this might not be the case anymore. People still feel the adrenaline shot even if they are betting on a computer and having other people cheering them on.

Yes, the adrenaline and the hope of making a lot of money releases dopamine. As the user plays more he will be more and more addicted, no matter if the people around them gamble or not. Of course that the social pressure will affect his desire to play, but an addicted person might also find refuge in gambling from social situations where he is seen as an addicted gambler.

Transferring an addict to another place without his own will is actually quite risky in my opinion unless he really has the will to do it.
Addicts, in this case, need support from those closest to them and when they move to a new environment without close people like their family or partners, it becomes quite difficult because I think there is an impression that they feel like they have been removed.
Even though his intentions are good, this must be based on the will of the addict as well.

It actually depends on what kind of surroundings the person is having.
If the person is having a surrounding where people are not involved in gambling but at the same time they are not motivating others to quite gambling then there's still a chance that the person might not quite gambling.
If the person is having a surrounding where people are not involved in gambling and motivates others to quit gambling then there are good chances that the person might quit gambling because of the influence.
And last but not the least it also depends on the individual's will power to control himself.
There are people who have a surrounding of gambling addicts yet they quit gambling.

At least to me everything depends on the will of the person, many people once they realize that a loved one is addicted to gambling do their best to produce an environment which will allow their loved one to heal and drop the addiction.

But it is the gambler that refuses to listen and keeps gambling anyway despite having everything on their favor to stop their addiction, so as we can see for a person to drop any addiction the motivation needs to come from within, and once that motivation is there then they will be able to overcome their gambling issues even in the most adverse of the circumstances they may find themselves in.

Yes ofcourse, the motivation definitely needs to be there in order for a gambler to leave gambling.
At the same time the surroundings also matters. It would be easier for a person with surroundings who are non gamblers to leave gambling.
Whereas it would be a little difficult for the same person if he has surroundings who are gambling addicts.
Motivation and surrounding both go hand in hand.

An addicted gambler can not reduce his interest in gambling if relocated to an environment where the people there don't have Interest for gambling, because the person is addicted already and playing gambling is not trigered by co-gamblers. Playing Gambling can reduce if the environment the person finds himself have laws that are against Gambling.

what you say is justifiable but should we wait for a gambling addict to be ready first when in fact this can help get him out of trouble. if so we let someone dissolve in the zone of destruction, as we agree this is difficult, actually a gambling addict needs help from the people around him so that he can fix his problem. not just moving to an area and the problem will be solved, there are several other treatments that a gambling addict must do, one of which is getting him used to doing other activities to change his bad habit of gambling, taking him to an expert and giving a recipe that can make him calmer and there are still many processes  other. Any addiction problem is complex and not simple.

It could be but if we have discipline in gambling and know when to gamble and stop, I don't think the environment will be able to force us to gamble because the control is in our hands.
But with the internet everywhere and providing easy access to online gambling sites, this can still provide an opportunity for gamblers to continue gambling even though they have moved to a new environment.
So this will really depend on us, whether we want to stop gambling or not there will be any effect on us who have moved.
But I think people who already know online gambling well and where a casino site can provide comfort will return to that casino site to play gambling.

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.

If he doesn't get anything like mobile internet then he will definitely be fresh but if he takes mobile then I will never believe that he will not gamble. Whenever a person at work, he doesn't give attention to the other side. However, the environmental situation does not change people in a moment, but after a long time it changes automatically. In that case, the environment must be important.

Environment has its own influence on people but you personal have to allow that happen before it happens to you. You can live in a neighborhood of crack dealers and not be addicted to cocaine. A part of you could decision to fight the status quo and be different. Don't use the excuse of living in that bad neighborhood to destroy your life. As for gambling, reason why you could easily get influence is because of the monetary benefits that people think comes from gambling and not realizing that you'll probably lose more than you can make.

The best method to combat that argued is to find a decent source of income, that source would probably keep you busy and you'll probably only gamble for fun and entertainment. Gambling entirely isn't bad but when you get addicted that's when it become a problem. Therefore even if you're leaving in a gambling environment like las Vegas, you don't have to allow yourself become a victim.

It might still depends on how much addicted a person is and how much the environmental influence he had when gambling. There are some instances that a person will not gambler in a short notice if he is not under the influence from his co-gamblers. However, it will be hard to remove gambling addiction to a person if he is not willing to and if he's too addicted that even the environmental factors does not affect him/her.

When someone is addicted to gambling, they no longer need friends to influence them to gamble because when they are addicted to gambling, they will influence other people and even themselves. Also, no matter how far away gambling addicts are in a new environment, as long as they still have internet access with their smartphone, they will continue to gamble. Unless the settlement doesn't have internet access and he's not allowed to own a smartphone, then that's an environment that might help him get out of gambling. But believe me, every corner of the area at this time I think no one is really free from gambling, because usually in remote areas there will be very much found about cockfighting gambling.

We're live on 21th century where mobile phones and internet are really important to our activities, without phones and internet we wouldn't know any recent news except you watch TV a whole of your days. Phones and internet do have a lot advantages and disadvantages, but completely not use it will make you live harder than before.

Don't blame the technology, but blame the user who can't control himself.

we have always seen in the movies that once a hero or heroine is upset - they move to other location. Change the city or the country and try to get adjusted there. Because new place brings in more challenges. And one try to forget what he/she has done in the past. If they are really adment to bring change in themselves.
