In fact, those who become addicted to gambling become very difficult to withdraw from this gambling.Those of us who become addicted to something find it very difficult to come back. Similarly, those who are addicted to this game of gambling can never quit gambling.Yes it is possible only when a person realizes on his own that I am not doing this job well. Only then can a person get rid of gambling addiction.Otherwise it is not possible.

Gambling addiction is not easy to undo and most time it is caused by friends or boredom. We have so many gamblers who are introverts and the urge of gambling always increased because they have no one to talk to and because of that the gambling urge in them always increase. There are lots of environmental factors that can increase the urge of gambling addiction. We need to be careful the way we gamble to reduced any addiction that can make us a victim of gambling addiction.

That is correct and also no addiction is easy to undo. Be it consumption of alcohol, gambling or sex. One has to struggle so much to get out of gambling addiction.
So everytime anyone suggests that they want to start gambling. I always suggest that think before you dive into the pool of gambling.

People take seriously playing gambling accept the fact it has a huge amount of jackpots that's why they want to urge get those and it is all about high-risk rewards sometimes taking risks is the best choice but some people can't control themselves as long as they have money. If you have a family member, friends or any close to you which is playing gambling i guess there's nothing wrong with make some small chat to them what their current status is because we know how gambling gives a hard time for the player every time they lose a lot of money due to being greedy. It is ideal to make another hobby to do with by that you can make away for a mean time to gambling which is more productive than risk your time and money in addiction of playing.

I agree.

Being an introvert is not enough to assume that an introvert can get an addiction to gambling. Maybe there's no one around him (physically) that is addicted to gambling, or doesn't have any idea in gambling at all, but the internet is huge, where he can see a lot of people who are bragging their achievement in gambling which can trigger his interest towards gambling than can lead to gambling addiction in the long run.

But you can't compare gambling addicts to alcohol or sex, alcoholics are very easy to cure and by cutting ties with people who try to get them to stop drinking. And most alcoholics have friends to drink with because doing it yourself is no fun, and there are many drugs to stop alcoholics too, many of my friends have done it and succeeded most importantly have serious intentions.
and for sex addicts, if you are not married you should get married immediately and if you are married sex will be a necessity and not dangerous.
to gamble, because of the ease that makes it difficult compared to other addicts. I mean because it's so easy to access and connect to the internet that we need every day that makes it easier for addicts to play it plus technology that is constantly evolving, and many other reasons that I think are more difficult to cure among other addicts.
but how to change the environment I think it works, have a good environment and have positive activities without technology or gadgets I think it will work.

The kind of environment is not impossible to adopt, if a child grow with some companion that has a bad influence on him, he will duplicate that same mentality, and in accordance to changing environment, if the person who have gambling addiction problem will stay to a place where gambling is not possible to reach, both offline and online is not reachable.

That person can easily adopt other alternative activities that the environment can offer to him.

if he chooses to keep being busy playing sports or be with other people and do some outdoors or indoors activities, it will be easy
to move forward and stay away from addiction if there's no way to know about it.

Yes, totally! This is another example that illustrates how important the environment that an individual lives in is extremely important, but not decisive to have some kind of addiction.
If a person lives in an environment where there are several gambling addicts, that same person can also become a gambling addict (if he already has some kind of predisposition)

But one factor that I believe I haven't commented before is that all human values, ethics and behaviors are created/shaped when the individual is young. (child, at least 10 years old)

Basically children learn what they experience

Yes, I agree with you. 

Currently, many people feel the lack of funds.  This is due to the Covid-19 coronavirus pandemic and the global economic crisis.  In fact, developed countries are now entering a period of economic recession. 

Therefore, people are looking for any opportunity to make money.  Therefore, if there are people in their environment who boast that they have earned a lot of money by winning them in an online casino, then this is a great temptation.  People may believe that gambling is a way to improve their financial situation. 

Such a misconception can lead to the development of gambling addiction in a person in the future.

You are right - being an introvert is not a solution and you have to knock the door for help when.
But having said that change of the environment can also be very helpful. In our culture it is religious obligation too - to migrate after sometime - it gives a sense of temperoriness that everything in the world is temporary.

[Silberman]

Addictions are difficult to leave behind precisely because most of the time the reason behind their addiction can be easily obtained to the point changing the environment may not do much, and gambling addiction is like that, after all almost any person today that lives at a city has a smartphone with Internet access, this means that they only need to do a quick search, make a deposit and they can be gambling in a matter of minutes, so only those which are completely determined to leave gambling behind can ever recover from their addiction.

But it's probably easier to give up addiction when there are no constant reminders of it around you that constantly initiate your memories and habit. It's like with smoking or drinking - I know a few people who quit these habits, but gradually returned to them because if your friends (let's say at work) regularly go out to smoke, then you go with them and sooner or later you will start smoking again. Similarly with drinking - if your group of friends is used to playing billiards (or sitting in a computer club) and drinking, then it is very difficult to go beyond this pattern of behavior without stopping communication with them completely.

And without a doubt you are correct, the issue is that now it is very difficult to create that kind of bubble in the interconnected world in which we live since almost anything is at the tip of our fingertips, for example someone may try to leave their alcoholism behind and try to not go to places or to associate themselves with people in which alcohol consumption is common, but now you can order alcoholic beverages from your smartphone, making way more difficult to overcome that addiction.

Apart from the influence of friends, some gamblers become addicted because of the money they get from gambling,  it is the only way to generate money easily for them, that is how they feel. Their are many factors too that can cause one to be addicted to gambling too. Some may be addicted to the winning,  they can't stay without winning.

Yes, I agree with you. 

The presence of mobile Internet provides many opportunities.  At the same time, it prevents a person from overcoming his vices and negative psychological addictions.  In fact, smartphones are magical artifacts that can fulfill all human desires. 

However, these desires do not necessarily benefit the individual.  What to do? 

Perhaps, in such a situation, you need to minimize the use of mobile Internet. 

For example, access certain Internet resources not through a browser, but through tabs (hyperlinks) from a personal diary.  This will avoid temptations. 

Currently, the safe use of the mobile Internet is impossible without discipline and a responsible approach to the use of this technology.

[Betwrong]

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 depends on what you call "around". In times when there were no TV, no internet and no radio, someone put on a desert island would probably stop gambling, even though he was a gambling addict before. But these days it's practically impossible to isolate yourself from the world. If you choose to stop gambling, you should not gamble even in the midst of a busiest casino in Las Vegas.

if you gamble online I don't think it will affect the environment wherever you are, but it will have an effect if you invite and teach people in your environment who have not previously gambled

No one wants to take gambling as habit but it happens unconsciously. Those who concentrate on gambling for a long time it become a habitual fact. Generally in gambling does not require anyone to be invited. Those who are closure with any gambler automatically join gambling with enthusiasm.

Surprisingly, people who gamble are also the ones who just got exposed due to their curiosity. While an environment may definitely contribute if a person would most likely be exposed to gambling activities, such is not the sole indicator.

Regardless if a person is exposed or not, it is essential they know their limits and discipline. If gambling becomes a habit to them, then it will be slowly integrated into their system, thus forming part of their routine.

Personally, a change of an environment may help an addicted person overcome his addiction. A breath of fresh environment would lessen their influence in going back to their old habits, though this really comes from their self-determination and dedication to combat their addiction.

The technology keeps you near from anything, online gaming is just a click away from you if you still have internet access, even you change your environment in terms of locations but if you still have access with the digital world it still not easy for you to quit gambling. A case to case though, since there are people who really wanted to free themselves from gambling, they will do everything to succeed.

Self-will is always the prior factor that will send you away from this vice and you will be able to maximize your resources in finding alternative ways to distract yourself from thinking about any gambling activities.

There are some other things which moving an environment brings.
1: Change of environment - different people different things to explore
2: most of time you are tired and you sleep well
3: sometime the environment suits you and you find a new hobby there.

in this case you are wrong, an introvert is able to hide things neatly and there are also many cases where an introvert who is good at computers has a gambling addiction

don't underestimate an introvert, besides that gambling is not only transmitted by people around, gambling is an interest, and usually that interest arises because the player finds something that really makes him happy or makes him confident

As long as the introvert is not harming anyone. It is good.
It's not to speak to many people - but at the same time it is as important to talk to people when you really need help.
Gambling and spending time on computer can not full fill out social needs.

[Theones]

Gambling addiction may happen even with playing mobile games on phone or watching gambling related movies. Environment and close circle factors can lead to addiction too but it depends mostly on personal habits of gambler. The most important point is to know when to leave website before it is too late, otherwise, addiction will cause bad consequences sooner or later. Taking help of friends and talking to psychologist may help too, accepting problem is first step to get rid of it.

At the end gambling is a bad habit one has to quit gambling at any cost to save his health and his mental peace.
But that is correct change of environment is very effective - we also change place for the break and for the new beginning

When you do already saw that you are messing up your life already because of gambling then it would really be just common sense for you to stop but there are people
who do fail on doing so thats why they do fall off into addiction and then ruining their lives and regret in the end that they shouldnt have done that.
Addicted person would always be having the high chance to play once again as long they would be exposing themselves on to any platforms whether it would be physical ones
or digital ones which is something that cant really be avoided when the urge is really pushing you on doing so.
