Gamble Responsibly

I see your point and it's true if there's love behind things that your love ones are doing for you, if you are the person who have this problem with gambling addiction, chances that you will see the purest of intention and the help that wanted to conduct, though it's really hard as most of those gamblers who still have money or resources to use are still in the denial stage of addiction,.

They are the one who's really challenging to provide the help or to accept the help that we are trying to give, without realization and self-will. It will take time before you will be able to convince the person.

This is what can encourage gambling addicts to try to change their bad habits. And the presence of the people he loves will strengthen him so that he goes through the entire process of healing his gambling addiction. These are the people who can recover from their gambling addiction because they do not feel alone in undergoing the process of healing their gambling addiction.

And those who continue to accompany him during the healing process will see significant changes in the gambling addict. They will be very happy to see that what they do can provide satisfactory results for gambling addicts so that they will continue to provide support to these gambling addicts.

~snip~

I think the help of their family and professional help are both needed to assist the addicted to overcome their problem, the family is needed to provide the moral support, as overcoming an addiction is very difficult to do and they may think about giving up during the middle of the process, and the family has to be there to reassure them and motivate them to keep going, but professional help is needed as well, since an addiction can be so out of hand that only someone that has been trained could possibly help the addicted to get over their compulsion to gamble.

The presence of a family with a gambling addict can help gambling addicts undergo the healing process, and that support is what gambling addicts need. That's the point of a family that can support each other and provide encouragement to those who need it to survive even though it feels difficult for them. Professional help is also needed to monitor the gambling addict's recovery process. Professionals who provide gambling addicts with a list of things to do and help them go through them. And with the help of his family, a gambling addict can complete every process given to him.

Yes, social interactions matter to us. There's also evidence that solitude can cause addictions, especially gambling. When lonely, people turn to fast gratification, like gambling. It's a quick getaway, right?

Like you said, relationships aren't simply about statistics. Quality of relationships matters. We need caring folks who can say, "Hey, something's off. You okay? " Ironic that sometimes being closer makes it harder to discuss the elephant in the room? Why are we afraid to communicate our worries for fear of hurting them? Doesn't quiet hurt more in such cases? No single solution exists for this complex subject. But openness, understanding, and support may change everything

I agree with this.

Sometimes it's hard to address things with your loged ones compared to sharing it and laying all your concerns to a stranger. Perhaps there's a side of us that do not want to be judged or if ever we will be, it will not come from those who matter to us, so it'll hurt less or not at all.

A caring and supportive relationship can help a lot in solving most problems including gambling addiction. If one is facing challenges that's hard to overcome, it will be a relief if someone will check up on him and ask what's wrong in a genuine matter because of care and concern, not out of pity or because of meddling. After all, it's really hard to undergo all through the hardships alone. Turning into vices will just create more problems rather being solved.

Correct. Gambling responsibly is very necessary, especially if we are a husband or head of the family. think about how we really make gambling with limits without having to lose a lot of assets which puts our small family in danger because assets continue to be sold because of the addiction of gambling.

Honestly, I am not sure how heads of family or parents can manage to control their habit and at the same time budgeting their necessary expenses for their family.
I have seen people here in the gambling forum declaring themselves to suffer from some degree of addiction to gambling and yet, seem to be functioning enough to be reasonable and acknowledge their problem.

I would have never expected to see parents posting here in the gambling section, and yet, I was proved to be wrong when there were many parents sharing their experiences.

May God bless anyone who has kids and it is struggling with their addiction to casinos.

Very well said. The support from your loved ones is very important. It makes you want to jump off your addiction. But more often than not you can't make that jump without a professional help. To choose among the professionals is a crucial bit. It should someone with big experience, not a young person, but not someone very old either because his/her main experience should be in the field of online gambling.

I think a lack in social relationships can be a trigger for gambling addiction in the first place. I am quite sure that there is data on the degree of isolation of people and how it affects them in terms of susceptibility to addictions. If someone has great relationships all around him or her, it is much less likely that that person is wasting time in front of a screen gambling online I suppose. But once an addiction kicked in, it is of course as helpful to have intact social relationships. But with intact I mean that it is not enough to just have them, it is important to have those that are willing to raise their voice and tell you that something is wrong. Often times people with close relationships are too afraid to talk openly to each other because they think they hurt each other. That's not simple at all.

Your second paragraph would probably fill a 10,000 pages thread alone here Proximity makes it often harder to bring up a certain kind of important matters. It's probably because people who are close to each other don't want to hurt each other and raising a serious issue that someone observes about another person could fall into the category of hurting someone, but it's actually only short term. The real pain would happen if things aren't discussed. Yet, it's probably true for me as well that bringing something up in front of someone important can be tough. The human psyche, the unsolved riddle

If the gambler want to play the game,it’s more essential to take their responsibility in the game.Because if they don’t want to take responsibility in the gambling,he better play the cricket offline.So he don’t loss or gain money in the gambling.The gambling was based on the both loss and profit.The probability of winning also in the gambling was low,So the gambler can enjoy the excitement in the gambling.The gambler should learn to win with the limited deposit and calculate the win above the money deposit in gambling site.

Yeah this os a worst possible case scenario where the gambler put the safety and comfort of his immediate family at risk just because of uncontrollable gambling lifestyle and to avoid such ugly situation,  one need to act with high sense of responsibility and ability to set limits to our gambling activities as responsible members of a family.

Gambling can be highly addictive any ways,  but then when a gambler has a well-planned gambling guideline it makes him more secure and safe while he gambles and has fun.

Anyone with family should always put their families needs first and also keep money for needs/wants that can arise in the future before they can consider using some money for gambling, family people are suppose to be the ones to advice the young growing people on their gambling habit as they have what they are going home to and have lot of experience regarding financial management and mismanagement.

Irresponsible gambling can be considered as mismanagement of funds and they are not being put into good used and anyone who don’t know how to manage what they have at hand specially when they have a family to feed is not good enough to be called a responsible person and as such they can’t also be a responsible gambler, the idea and and how they behave at home will definitely have lot of impact on their gambling habits, if they can be a good head of family and someone who is good to set example for others then we can say that they are set to go.

In fact in my opinion, responsible gambling should be applied to all gamblers including who are not yet married, not just to older gamblers or gamblers who are married, because even gamblers who are not married have to think about other needs for their future, not just throwing their money away in gambling activities only.
If someone is married and has good and rational thoughts, a gambler can definitely regulate gambling habits, limits and expenses and arrange other needs that must be met, but if a gambler feels unable to manage his expenses then i think he should hand it over to his partner to manage their family's expenses, so a gambler only focuses on controlling his or her limits in gambling.

Yes, if the goal has been achieved, the joy is more from the people who help the person who got addicted, the hard work has been paid off and that's why they are helping they wanted to see changes in the person and if possible to completely stop that person to gamble a success that will be remembered and will be shared between the person who needs the help and the person who provided it.

There is a feeling of happiness for people who help people who are addicted to gambling so that they can recover from their gambling addiction. People who are addicted to gambling and who can cure their gambling addiction will also feel happy because it turns out they can undergo every healing process. It is an extraordinary achievement for those struggling to cure their gambling addiction. They can share their story to provide inspiration and motivation to people who also experience gambling addiction to want to cure their gambling addiction.

That is why if a person who is addicted to gambling can tell his problem to the people closest to him, including his family, he can get first aid, who will find a solution to overcome the problem. And this will speed up the identification of the root of the problem so they can start helping him. But if not, he will have difficulty solving the problem because he doesn't want to talk about the problem.

Extraordinary indeed, most of the time it's a long process as there are stages of addiction and if both the one who provide help and the addicted itself succeed both side will really rejoice and celebrate that kind of win against this problem that they manage to resolved.

Yeah right, if he can open up and able to submit his problem to someone who's close to him, the aid can be provided in a much earlier stage and the issue may solve as soon as possible.

Every process you go through will be tiring and provide a lot of experience. But it is worth doing if everything works together to cure his gambling addiction. When the gambling addict can recover from his gambling addiction, it will be a touching moment because it turns out that what they did was successful, and it was not in vain that they struggled together.

Yes, it requires openness from the gambling addict to tell his problems to the people closest to him. That way, they can work together to find a solution and get started so that the gambling addict can see that there are many things he can do besides just gambling. And when more things can be done, and he is serious about doing them, he can solve the problem well.

Once the addiction enters the head of a person, it's difficult to control it, which is why you see people surprised about what some gamblers are doing, it would be so out of senses. Well, I don't blame them anymore when they get into it since they are already mini-mad, it's people around them who could stretch out their hands for help. I only blame them as to why they let their guard down to the point of gambling irresponsibly and doing what is practically unwise. The family instance is still small compared to what some people are doing, liquidating property is little, and some will go to the length of collecting huge loans just because they want to bet. This is why all gamblers should be vigilant from the beginning and be extremely careful if they are of weak mind.

[Usasauki2004]

Gambling addict will not listen easily, they are drowning on their greed and they need proper assistance and medication, I'm talking about the worst case scenario of being addict in gambling. As much as possible, you have to help yourself if you are still in the early stage of addiction, it's not too late for you. These reminders are being posted here repeatedly and I'd hope that many are already aware about the possible risk of gambling and the threat of its addiction. If you can help someone who are into gambling, please do so because you can save his/her life by guiding them slowly but surely.

How I wish they will listen, people who gamble are blind by greediness and they're hoping and anticipating that one huge win will come and it will cover for all the losses they have encountered.

Even all these betting platforms normally said bet small to win big but these days reverse is the case. See the kind of amount people are using to bet which at the end will still cut by one game. The best thing is to stop it and stop for good, there are better things to do than gambling but people are eager to have money not knowing that there are steps to follow which requires alot of patience.

Desist from it because gambling actually ruin and a bad career to follow.

[Fredomago]

And when more things can be done, and he is serious about doing them, he can solve the problem well.

That open communication can speed up the process, even how tough it is but if both sides are willing to work hand in hand that addiction can be eliminated in a much quicker time frame, I see that there are addicted gamblers who are always denying that problem making it hard for someone to give the help that they needed.

If they can just let it go and try to do other things that may divert their attentions, other activities can lead them away from any gambling related practices.

Creating open communication will require awareness from the gambling addict to want to open himself up and accept the presence of other people who will help him cure his gambling addiction. But if a gambling addict denies and doesn't want to admit that he has a gambling addiction, it certainly won't work and he will still have difficulty curing his gambling addiction. His denial may prevent other people from knowing what a gambling addict should do and how to help him.

But it will depend on the people who want to help him because if they still care about the gambling addict, they will try various ways to divert his attention to gambling. Maybe they won't do it openly because it can keep gambling addicts away. But they will use other approaches to make the gambling addict aware that he has other things he can do.

First, let me say that it takes someone who is sick to first and foremost, realize and accept that he or she is sick, before he or she can proceed to visiting the hospital for possible tests and medication based on what the doctor found out through the test, to be the ailment the patient is suffering from.

What am i saying in essence?, A gambling addict who have refused to accept that he or she is addicted, helping such person can most of the time be just you wasting your time, because addiction have everything to do with the mind, and if the gamblers mind have not come in agreement with you that he or she is addicted and truly needs help, trust me when i tell you that, trying to force help on such individual is a waste of time.

Better to leave such a person to go on with whatever he or she is doing, hoping that one day, the person will indeed realize that he or she needs help, this is when your help can indeed yield good result in the gamblers life.

I agree with the fact that it depends on the people who wants to help the addicted gambler cure his addiction, firstly coming with a judgmental approach make the gambler less responsive to solutions, when you judge him and exact all blame on him for been the reason everything happened to him/her, the gambler becomes less Open and will conceal most information that's need to help for fear of been judged and blamed again.

Approaches matters a lot as this will determine to a good extent how responsive the gambler who needs help will be responding to solutions offered them. They have to be treated with care and a good level of confidentiality especially for one who has hidden their gambling habit for a very long while, if they don't sense confidentiality they will open up less, but if the security of their information is sure they will speak up more.

Gamble addiction is not a plague and has solutions so we should learn to treat people who suffers this addiction with love, care and hope to get better after. I think professional help dose the job better because they know how best to offer solutions that will be tailored to various levels of addiction and how well to fix it fast enough.

Realizing that he is sick is the most important thing so that he can complain about it to a hospital or rehabilitation centre so that a psychologist can help him find the right solution to cure him. Otherwise, he will not be able to get a solution from a psychologist or even from other members of his family.

This requires concern from his family members to make him aware that he has a gambling addiction and must immediately get professional help. Otherwise, his gambling addiction will get worse and will disrupt his life. It will indeed be very difficult to make him aware, but this depends on his family members so that a gambling addict can be aware and willing to follow their advice to cure himself who is addicted to gambling.

Yes, leaving it alone might be possible,, but if there are family members who still care, he might still take a different approach than he has done because, he is still part of the family.

Perhaps people who want to help gamblers who are addicted to gambling should take various approaches that might be successful in making the gambling addict aware. Most gambling addicts who close themselves off from other people will not open up to other people easily, so this requires a different approach than what has been done. And of course, it will also take longer because those who help will try many different approaches.

This approach will help gambling addicts open themselves up to talk more so that people who want to help them can start to sit down and listen to the real problem. After that, they can discuss what the gambling addict can do to start healing. And of course, gambling addicts would prefer it if their gambling confidentiality could be maintained properly while healing.

Yes, gambling addiction has a solution, and that is why people who want to help must be able to help and support gambling addicts to cure their gambling addiction. And if necessary, they can go to a professional to ask for treatment and find a more suitable method for their gambling addict.

This is probably, the most frustrating aspect of any addiction, every single person that has ever known the addicted can tell they have a problem and they are in a desperate need of their help, but if they cannot take the first step and admit they have a problem then there is nothing anyone can do for them, and if anything trying to do so will only create friction between the two of you as they will think you are trying to take decisions over their life you have no business taking.
