Can change of environment have an effect on gambling addiction.

[Reatim]

it is effective in some part but this will still depend on our wanting , because even how changing  locations we do but if we will keep seeking for gambling places then ? what is the sense actually?
I'm afraid that all we wanted is different  from what we are doing if that happens.

change place if you are ready to leave addiction  , of course with your family that supporting you.

There will still be a possibility that we will return to looking for a gambling place around our new residence and we may ask people in our neighborhood. We hope to find a casino there, which can happen if we don't have a busy day.

so that is better to find a place where gambling isn't active for community so the chance of seeking for gambling was not there and better.

But if we can immediately mingle with the people around us and join in many activities, it will prevent us from thinking about gambling so we won't have time to find where the casinos are around us.

Just make sure that those people you are going to  mingle are not gambling active and not something  that will lure you to gamble again.

This is why we need our families' support to help us change the situation that has happened to us so that we can cure that gambling addiction.

exactly , our family and friends are one of the best tools for us to really leave a gambling world because if not? then you will be dead forever.

If a gambler do end up on a place where he cant possibly seen any gambling places for him to hang on then he would really be having that changed of impressions but if his addiction is on that severe state then he might really be still ending up on playing with online casinos

Gamblers will find a way to gamble. There is a lot of convenient and easy way nowadays to do gambling. For that person that is being sent to an environment where no gambling stuff will be seen, it should also be accompanied by other prevention methods such as doing what rehabilitation centers do to help that gambler forget about gambling. They should refer at experts at that field to give them preferences on what to do with this type of people.

And even then finding an environment in which it is impossible to gamble is incredibly difficult to do, we need to remember that now online gambling is incredibly popular and in fact I will not be surprised if online gambling is now more popular than regular gambling which was done at physical casinos, so unless a person decides to disconnect completely from digital devices like a computer and a smartphone then it is almost impossible to find such an environment, and even if you could find such an environment it is impossible to remain in that environment forever.

Environment can affect many things in the lifestyle of someone. It can affect the way the person reasons, it can affect the way the person behaves and also affect the type of business someone does.
If a drug addict goes to a Sane environment where there is no drug to buy, he will suffer for sometime and gradually adapt to the new environment. Same thing can be said of gambling. But with online gambling and a forum like this, a gambling addict will not change since he could always come online.

Maybe moving to a residence close to a house of worship will help them to try to leave gambling forever and change them for the better.

But if we can immediately mingle with the people around us and join in many activities, it will prevent us from thinking about gambling so we won't have time to find where the casinos are around us.

Just make sure that those people you are going to  mingle are not gambling active and not something  that will lure you to gamble again.

Maybe new people who come to an environment will not be too open with others. But as time goes by and they become closer, it can make them open up to each other and trigger them to return to gambling again. But what you say is true and requires self-control even if they are gamblers and invites you to return to gambling.

This is why we need our families' support to help us change the situation that has happened to us so that we can cure that gambling addiction.

Internet has got nothing to do with it except making it easier for many people to access gambling if they wanted to.A fun example would be from what I have learned from locals where I live that during the communist era that run for near 50 years here people still gambled despite it being illegal and you could get in jail for several years if caught.The gamblers here played at that time near a football club place of training and they were caught by the police who were wearing the uniform of that soccer team and put all of them to jail.This didn't stop as gamblers still continued to gamble no matter these high risks,it means it is true gambling is in our nature and we can't stop it no matter how hard we try.

I totally agree with your last statement that gambling can't be stop no matter how we try, since it has been in existence for centuries, but it can be reduced to some point by certain policies made by either the government or an individual in person, because a change of environment can have effect on a gambler if such gambler is the kind who gets involve in physical gambling because if he or she is moved to a different environment where he no longer have access to those regular spots where he goes to gamble, such person will tend to forget about gambling gradually even thou it may take time. And a change of environment can also not have an effect on an online gambler because such individual who have access to online can gamble anytime, anywhere from the comfort of his or her home with the use of an internet connection.
So the whole thing goes vice-versa

[btc78]

Yes I agree, without the force within that person he will not change his bad habits

It is not always that the decision of a person that will change him. Although it goes along way like many people believe but at the same time there are other external forces that can force someone to change from one particular habit to the other one. For instance sickness and a particular type of it can control the way we act. If a gambler is on sick bed and not able to move around definitely his gambling activities will automatically reduce.

The only thing that will make someone to change from it's decision. it's because of  lacks of funds but when someone is rich very well which nobody can bend it decision unless it undergoes numbers of advices from prominent people. Because a situation that changes the decisions of someone emotions and conditions is very difficult and especially for those people who have what it takes to control and stamped for their words. But from this your analysis, i have not see were it relate or collabrate with gambling issues.

Why do we always see in movies that when someone is hurt in love and in professional life they change their location.
In our religion people migrate too - if they are finding the place not treating them well. So migration in our culture is very important if you need to have a better future. Change is constant.

Lol Gambling addiction is far different from your talking about like  Love? and in professionalism ? I'm afraid that the comparison is not what it happens here.
but yeah it maybe helpful to migrate just to let your self find another enjoyment and forget about gambling at least for a month or years.

environment/community brings big part to our life and nature, this is why choosing the right community will keep you safer than everything .

Point taken. Environmental changes could really make someone ponder and reflect on some things. Perhaps it could also alleviate the urge in some people to do the usual things they do because of the situation. An entirely new environment means they have limited option and ways to do their hobby. Hence, they are forced to adapt from the sudden transition of their surroundings.

However, addressing the issue just on the tip of it will not solve it totally. Gambling addiction is a serious case. It shouldn't be taken lightly and it should be addressed from the roots to treat and completely heal it. It's not an overnight process. If we're just going to change environment, eventually, a person addicted in gambling will find his way to go back in gambling.

[wxa7115]

But if they happen to move in an environment in which no one drinks alcohol then they will not be as tempted to do so, and as far as I know this is one of the steps when it comes to overcoming alcohol addiction, and as such something similar should be followed when it comes to gambling addiction.

I think change in environment does matter - however - it also depend on the will of the person.
One should not get into the gambling to an extent where they lose their money and come in trouble. However sometime man become so much blind that they lose all the control over their mind.

And without any doubt you are right, the environment matters but if the person is not willing to give it his all in order to overcome his addictions then the environment could be as free from any reference to gambling and yet the person will once again fall into his gambling addiction.

It is because of this that people find it so difficult to overcome their addictions, as only an iron will can be enough to overcome the burning desire they have of gambling again, and each time they fail on overcoming their addiction the more difficult it becomes as they begin to think they do not have what it is necessary in order to reach their goal.

Plus, he was comparing movies and real life. We all know that most movies are just fictional. I also think that gambling, love and professional life are not comparable to each other because gambling is only just a game and should not be taken seriously because if you do then expect that many problems can occur later on. Love and professional life are the ones that must be taken seriously so that you can live a better a life.

You don't necessarily need to migrate only to find another enjoyment but you can always start it on your current location. That alone might help you forget gambling because it does not cost much money and it doesn't make you feel depressed.

But in this case there are also other factors that must be considered because when the environment changes but the factor of the closest person is still doing it, it will be the same.
When someone wants to stop their addiction to gambling, apart from the environment, they must also forget about people who can make them return to gambling because it will seem futile if they move to a new environment but still hang out with people who are still gambling.

There's nothing impossible as long you do have money or funds into your pocket because if ever you wont really see some places or platforms then you could always op in on buying those essential things just for you to make yourself get connected.It all matters on someones dedication whether they are really that willing to quit or avoid gambling for good or would really be definitely still playing on what ever ways you could able to do
so as long you do have money then you could always have the choice whenever you do move into a place where these things can be find out. On the question if the place or environment could really affect
someones gambling addiction then its yes but of course it would be needing that strong self control and discipline on handling things.

If you change environment to stop the gambling addiction it is necessary to find a safe place where you can totally stop the habit.

You are right, I think it is largely related to the age of the gambler as well. If it's a gambler who barely provides anything for him, such that the gambler is somehow dependent, the urge could reduce once taken out of the environment. But this cannot be said to someone who provides for himself and has money to do whatever. With money in hands, one can easily make new friends in a new environment, one can easily find new ways to do things.

Then I agree with you, addiction isn't treated on a fly or based on assumptions, a very thyrapic, counseling and other works  need to come to play.

In this case, awareness is needed from the people when he is in a new environment so that he will not return to his former place and return to the casino.
It is indeed difficult for people to change the habits they have been doing for some time and it takes courage to make one step change.
If he can do it, everything must be worth what he does because then, he can leave his habit of gambling and he can also make a new habit that has nothing to do with gambling.
Forgetting gambling is hard and one must have a strong desire to change it.

If you change environment to stop the gambling addiction it is necessary to find a safe place where you can totally stop the habit. Not only the surroundings but the people around that you'll encounter must be people that will help you to change and not a gambler too who will tempt you to play again. It will really become futile if there are still gamblers around even you change place.

With these people already too much addicted in gambling and would like to stop one of the most first thing is to control themselves because even though the people in their environment would like to stop them if in their inner side they dont want it is nothing happen, by that if they think they want to let go themselves it is good to come with the people they think it will helps a lot fo them to make an improvements in life and change it like doing some activities which is productive and not just only have fun in gambling casino.

I think this change of environment is just the secondary way of stopping gambling,but the primary thing I see that can stop gambling is Change of mentality.Yoh can change your environment but still want to gamble,because your mentality towards gambling has not yet changed.It  is very obvious that what you think about continuously,is what you do,so despite one changing his or her environment,if the mentality of gambling has not been changed,the individual will still look for a gambling house to gamble,or better still,play it on his phone.But once his mentality is changed towards it,it will be very hard for him to gamble.

[GiftedMAN]

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

The answer is yes. Becoming an addicted gambler doesn't mean you are around an environment where everyone around you gambles, you can be alone and still become an addicted gambler when you have developed the mindset of trying some games out that you possibly watched in a movie or played a demo with your phone and seeing that you played well, you could decide to start the real gambling and before you would realize you have been addicted to it and you can not stop it easily.

Another thing that can make someone become addicted to gambling when no one around the person gambles is the information someone gets on social media, there are so much information about people who made millions through the gambling this has made some of their followers addicted to gambling while trying to make the same money with them.

Absolutely right.

In the same way that people can become alcoholics by themselves at home, people these days can become a gambler at home. You only need a phone these days to gamble all your money away.

Back in the day you needed to go to a place and gamble, but not anymore.

I would argue that it's even easier to become a gambler than an alcoholic, because at least with alcohol you need to go to the shops or bars, and some places close down at some times, whereas gambling is open 24/7 from wherever you are.

In this case, it is clear that when he says the gambler wants to move, he certainly knows where he will move because it is impossible when he says he wants to move to a new environment but still has not found his place.
As for this, it is a good point if in the new environment there are no gamblers there, but we also when in a new environment cannot force other people not to gamble if there are still gamblers instead.
After things like this it depends on the intention of the addict from the beginning whether it was the right intention to stop or not while still tempted.

It would be better if he didn't say where his new place of residence was to avoid invitations from his former friends to return to gambling.
It is important so that his intention to truly change can be achieved and he can solve his gambling addiction problem.
But even if he didn't say where he lived, he also had to be careful because he didn't know how he was going to live in his new place.
He should really be able to stop his gambling habit because his new place of residence could provide an opportunity to change.
