Can change of environment have an effect on gambling addiction.

[Fredomago]

Of course, most of the time I need to change places to get results from a certain problem. I will give an example: if a person is addicted to the casino, he plays in a casino that is 3 meters from his house, then that person when he goes to the doctor to seek treatment, the doctor starts the treatment section, but every day that person when leaves the doctor and goes home from the casino, this person will be tempted to play again, in this case the best solution is to move the person to a very distant place, where there is no physical casino and not give things with internet access to that person. be able to play online. with these measures plus the treatment at the doctor it will be possible in 1 year or longer for the person to cure the addiction

Okie that is a good story - haha ...
But on a serious note - we see everywhere when people are in trouble - they shift they move to other place. This brings in change of mind and person forget the old enviroment for the time being.

Moving to the another place will not solve the problem. So many people can addict with online gambling that can be accessed from anywhere. So, it will not help a lot for people who have become addicted in online gambling.
The trust is if people must also have intention from their own mind to suggest for himself if he must try to avoid gambling. The only way for people to recover from being addicted with gambling.

Due to the success of the internet, people can now access gambling from anywhere. But for those who want to move away from gambling, this change of location is not very useful but it is effective in many cases. ”Heaven with honest living, with the defeat of evil”, I think if his associates are good then he can gradually divert from gambling. But is it totally depends on own self.

Still depend on the location where you moved because if that certain location will still associate you with gambling then there's really a high chance that you will indulge the same activity they seek but if that environment is neutral, like the people surrounding you is not gambler then there's also a high chance that you will find yourself doing what others do because you will start to forget the gambling because of the new habit they introduce to you.

Indeed! if there's nothing anymore and you are really aiming to change up and free yourself from gambling changing the nature or environment will help you to do so, but, if you are still in the place where access still possible there's a big chance that you will just go to waste your time and everything that you are trying to do will not work since you are still capable of dealing with gambling.

It's a case to case basis and weighting or sorting it out is something that you alone can really assess if the place can help you or it is just simply the same from where you belong.

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?

For me if the person is already addicted to it then there is a low chance that he/she would stop even if he/she moves to a new place.
We have so many online gambling sites nowadays so it would really be hard to stop for someone who is already addicted to it.

To answer the final question, yes you can definitely become a gambler even if you were never brought up around or even ended up in situations where gamblers are present. In actual fact I wonder if people who see what a menace gambling can be when growing up, might naturally be more inclined to stay away from it themselves. In reality though, no responsible parent should ever be introducing or even exposing children to their gambling ways, if they're bad enough to have become addicted themselves. Frankly, that money could likely be much better spent on improving the upbringing and life experiences of those children, instead of boring them with nonsense.

It is curiosity that leads a person to try things that is not known to him.  In this case, a person who has not been exposed to gambling can develop a gambling habit and even get addicted if he tried the game and gets hooked to it.  In fact, it is more dangerous for people who have little awareness of the negative effect of gambling, thus, they are more susceptible to becoming a gambling addicts.

What you say is quite reasonable, because it does not guarantee that people who are addicted to gambling will stop gambling if they move
to a new environment. He will try to find a way to get him back to gambling, even if there is no internet connection in that place, people who
are addicted to gambling will gamble with simple activities with people in the environment. Like playing chess with betting money, then play cards
or even gamble using coins by guessing the side of the coin. Because if people are addicted to gambling, that person will do anything to be able
to gamble. So to cure gambling addiction there needs to be a strong desire from the gambler to stop gambling or be able to control himself
when gambling, so as not to overdo it when gambling. It would be better if assisted rehabilitation by professional help.

There are stories of people furnishing their entire house with an office in the lane that they could then start a professional gambling career. But you understand that life is in dreamland. It may be the case that if you are a professional poker player, you can focus on your own better when you are in a certain environment. This also applies to gamblers, of course, it can make a lot of difference, but you must of course know what you are doing and not believe in your own fantasy. Then it goes wrong.

If a person moves to a rural place with no internet connection and gambling is frowned upon by the community in that area, then there is nothing that person can do but stop gambling.  That is a simple scenario where a gambling addict has no choice but to stop gambling because he has no access to gambling facilities and the people around him look at gambling activity as a bad thing.

The availability of gambling services such as online gambling establishments, slot machines on every corner, and sportsbooks that are open 24 hours a day and seven days a week makes gambling accessible to a larger number of individuals than it used to be in the past. This is not necessarily a bad thing, but the availability of these services also increases the number of people who have a problem with gambling. There are a number of factors that contribute to this, including the influence of technology and the increase in the number of gambling platforms that are available worldwide.

All of this means that we need to increase awareness of the problem of gambling addiction. Anyone, regardless of their age or gender, who is concerned about their gambling habit or who suspects they are addicted to a gambling activity should consider getting help and seek the guidance of a mental health professional. A professional can help someone to determine if they have a gambling problem and how to get over their addiction. If a person feels he or she cannot make a change, a professional can refer them to a rehabilitation center .

Once a person is admitted into a rehabilitation center, the person will be surrounded by others in a similar situation and will be given assistance for their problems. Some addiction problems are hard to get over and require professional help, but if a person is determined to make a change and wants to regain their self-esteem, then he or she can do so. All it takes is a bit of determination.

If no one tries to remind him to stop gambling, he is less likely to stop, even if he has moved.
He will be able to find another gambling place close to where he lives or if he is used to gambling online, he will return to visit the casino site he usually uses to gamble.
But if he has someone who cares and loves him and doesn't want anything bad to happen to him, that person will always be reminded to stop gambling.
That is why we need help from others always to help remind each other.

If any gambler is of the mindset that he will become rich in a quick time, then there is a big chance that we will keep on playing even if he loses in gambling. This may make him a gambling addict and he may not even know that he is addicted to gambling.

I don't think a change of environment can lower the gambling addiction but a change of hobbies may surely help gamblers spend time on other things and not on gambling.

I just noticed this, since the pandemic started in 2019, almost all land-based casinos have been closed due to the spread of Covid19 and lockdown, besides that, the number one affected here is always the owners of gambling companies and those gamblers addicted to gambling. That if we look at it from another angle, it is a good thing because their routine and their environment will be changed every day of their lives.

That's why even though there is a lockdown almost all over the world in every country, gambling owners still find a way to continue their gambling business using the technology we have today through the internet, online gambling. And he has been effective until now and continues to enjoy this gambling lover. So, the other gamblers who want to change what they do, change their habits when they get together with their close family, and friends and go to a place that is a bit environmentalist around.

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.

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.

When there is a case of addiction, it should be handled very subtly. I think that one of the recommendations is to play, but less and less. If a person plays for 5 hours, lower it to 4 hours, then the next week lower it to 3 hours, and so on until it decreases to at least 30 minutes, then to compensate for the time spent inactive in the game, it is necessary to do another activity, such as a sport, keeping busy, reading a book, something that lasts a long time, the idea is to forget a little of everything that has to do with the game, the longer the busy person lasts, the more profit to leave the addiction problem.

This has also been said repeatedly that with the spread of the internet which has almost reached 70% worldwide

it is unlikely that an gambling addict can stop gambling when he changes his environment because online gambling can be done anywhere and anytime without knowing the time and limitations (the percentage is only 5% imo)

[ethereumhunter]

If a gambling addicts moves to a rural area where their is no access to Internet for sure it will stop the addict from playing gambling at the moment but it doesn't mean that if the founds his self out from the environment to a place where he will have access to online and physical gambling he will not go back to gambling lifestyle.

As long as the gambler doesn't find a local casino in his area and he starts to occupy himself with all kinds of things, he won't try to find it by asking his neighbours. That means his desire to move from his old place of residence because he wants to leave gambling has gone well and it's just a matter of continuing what he wants to achieve. But it will not all go well if he is still trying to find casinos around his area, which can make him return to his old gambling habit.

The gambling mindset is still there he still can remember his sessions his wins the excitement gambling generates and he will try to replicate that feeling by playing cards with people, if you are an addict you will use your imagination to replicate the feelings, if there is a will there is a way for gambling addict, the absence will just make him misses the dopamine.

This is conclusive, no choice but to work with the environment that he have now, if there's no internet and there's no people who have that same vice there's no way for a gambling addict to continue his usual activities, he will be push to do other things and make a good switch with all the activities that he have inside his mind.

Nothing to do but to adopt and start moving forward with a different lifestyle away from any gambling related activities.

Correct, but many people are not informed enough about the tracking abilities that companies have these days, so they make the mistake of keeping their old smartphone or email accounts and that is how those companies keep sending them information related to gambling.

So it is not surprising that now leaving an addiction behind is becoming more and more difficult, and while it is obvious that it can still be done, it is not as if those companies are making the life of those people any easier.

It should not be easy for these people to give their email account addresses or mobile numbers to other parties so that they will not receive information about offers to play gambling again if they move. This is very important to note so that we will not become victims again because, after all, we want to avoid gambling so we decide to move places. But it will all be useless if their offers still tempt us because we can easily follow them without thinking twice, making our life riskier.

It was not hard to ignore those emails if we really wanted to change our lives and stop gambling forever.
With the help of our family, nothing is impossible as long as we help ourselves as well. We have to make busy our minds think about something (not gambling) to diversify our focus and let addiction heal gradually until it was done. It needs a new environment and I believe this is a very effective way.

We need to remember that leaving an addiction is not something that you can just do and then be done with it, it is a process and for most people it is a process that will last for their entire lives, so while for people like us ignoring such promotions is not a big problem the same cannot be said about those which have or had gambling issues.

And this is because even if a person is able to leave an addiction behind that doesn't mean that they could not fall back into addiction if for some reason they were psychologically weak at that time, for example if a family member died and they were in the middle of a depression and then they received a notification telling them they had a promotion on their old casino account it will be way more difficult for them to not fall into temptation and begin to gamble again.

It might happen for the early days that you have been away to the place where you used to gamble.

But I think eventually you'll get over it especially if you really want to stop your gambling addiction. The change of environment is good to start anew, different from what you used to, and much better if there's no way you can access an internet so you can move on. Anyway, it depends on the gambler if he's determine to stop and the level of his addiction.

Environmental changes allow us to change for the better and leave the old habits we have been doing.
But it takes effort to start a new habit completely different from what we do; not many people can do it.
Even in a new place of residence, we can access the internet more easily, if our desire to change is very strong, it will not make us try to keep gambling online because we already have the determination to change it.
With determination, effort and support from the people around us, everything will be easier and we can leave gambling as we want.

 Going back to playing cards with friends is tantamount to a failed attempt to quit gambling. Anyone who has decided that a gambling addiction is harmful to him must give up gambling in any form completely. You can encourage dopamine work by creating some kind of incentive system for yourself. For example, if you lasted a month without gambling, you can afford to spend some money on something you could not afford before. This kind of incentive system would be analogous to a gambling incentive system.
