Gamble Responsibly

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.

Admittance is the first step to take and being able to follow your decision to quite feeding your addictions is what guarantee you a total freedom as long as gambling addiction or any form of addictions is concerned,  sometime we have many addicts who come out to denounce their addictions,  and also make themselves available for any form of treatment,  but after some time,  you begin to see the tendency of the unwillingness in them and also their pattern of action also effects them a lot...

But then we shouldn't allow our minds to be overclouded so much so that we may be found wanting when it comes to credible approaches to exit addictions along the line of actions and decisions.

The most common way the addiction was not felt by them,they get addicted by the gambling,drinking,smoking.Until their friends point out the same to their friends,they won’t consider this as the addition.Actually they never feel it’s as te addiction,we come to the drinking addiction.Until your friends mention the drinking expenses made by yourself.You never feel that much money was spender on the drinking.So it’s better to avoid addiction in all sector like drinking,smoking and gambling.The gambler can use all this in the limited way to enjoy their life with some fun into their life from their earning money.

[Betwrong]

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.

I don't know what does "head of the family" mean, but you are right about this: if we have people that rely on us, we shouldn't let them down. We should drink responsibly because as overdrinking is not only bad for the health, but for our budget too. Same with gambling. Excessive gambling is bad for our mental health and it's usually bad for our budget.

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.

Exactly. It's a very delicate question, and it's better to leave to the professionals then.

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.

henever it comes to how to do or possible treatments for gambling addicts, it is something that should be considered very important, because basically things must go in that direction, for me everything that goes in the direction of being able to face and attack this problem is very good, because I could say that when it comes to how to make things better for those people it is something super good, I don't know if there are many methods that can be generalized and used, even if they are new, to do other activities I have always focused on sports, because I know that sports is the best way for them to go that way, since the body gets tired and that doesn't make people want to go to a casino or get involved, the The idea is that they don't leave it completely, but that they play little by little, the idea is that they do it like this to see what the best plan is so that they can get out of that problem.

I have always said that it is a problem that must be paid a lot of attention, both for the person who is in that problem and for the people who have something in common with that person with the problem, friends, family, it is good to pay attention. Help before that person sinks deeper into it, for that reason when we do any type of activity that is for their benefit, it must be said here, I wish a special campaign could be done for addicted people, where a fund is created , I would like to help them, that would be something great and in addition to helping, helping is very nice, because whoever helps will always have blessings, and even more so when it is someone who or needs, not everyone has the resources to go to a psychologist or go to a place where they demand payment to help, here in the forum it is a very nice way to spread the word and get people to help, there must be people who know a lot and can take steps so that they can be aware of how to help .

Most people who are addicted do not or find it difficult to take the first step because it is different from what they have experienced so far and that is why many of the people who are addicted refuse to admit that they are addicted. But if there are people who care about him and start approaching him in many ways, slowly the addicted person will feel that he really has a problem with his addiction. He may immediately open himself up to accepting offers from these people to want to make changes.

Maybe the changes are not yet visible because the changes are small but slowly, with increasing enthusiasm and encouragement from these people, he finally wants to show that he wants to change for the better. He will probably do many things to recover from his addiction, including doing many activities to start reducing his addiction.

The head of the family is man who has wife or also has child and is fully responsible for all the needs of life shelter and education for the child and that is why he is called the head of the family because of that responsibility able to minimize all activities that are detrimental or cause the family to fall apart if they take wrong actions such as in gambling.
Of course everyone who is responsible for their family is not advised to do excessive things especially if they use their finances for gambling because the needs of life and family happiness are the priorities of husband or father.
Discussions like this have actually been presented here lot but unfortunately they cannot cover everyone out there so there are still many cases of family destruction due to mistakes in managing time and finances for gambling.

There is a great lack of educated conscience here it is easy to avoid everything if you keep yourself under control. If being the head of the family becomes an addiction many people get involved in crime to earn money in gambling. The result is fatal The job may go away the family is destroyed suicide rates also increase many spend so much a year on this addiction that they lose everything and become destitute. Therefore family relationships emotional problems and financial problems are the most common effects on family members of people with gambling problems.

You make a valid point regarding people being reluctant to acknowledge their addiction. It's a major step and frequently veiled in dread and denial.

Things can begin to change, though gradually, when others close to the addicted person step up, show up, and engulf them in a cocoon of support. No, it's not a short procedure; it's sensitive, progressive, and slow. The addict may begin to understand the effects of their addiction. And you're right; that's where the magic happens. the gradual recognition, acceptance, and movement towards change. All of it is slow, but it is very necessary

It's possible that the initial modifications and shifts will not be noticeable. But these little adjustments can begin to grow into something more, something transforming, with constant love, support, and encouragement. Change is not only possible; it is probable with the proper people and the right support. It is a journey, a long and winding road

It's okay if it's too late because it can still be done if they can admit it and are willing to start changing it. After all, it's all for the good and changes in their life. After all, it's better late than never, especially to change bad habits and get a better life.

When they recognize their gambling addiction, they can start to make small changes so they see what they can do. This change may take a long time, depending on the mental readiness of each addict, but it is worth doing to get a better life.

Once they have made these small changes, they will begin larger changes and get used to their new activities. But it's only temporary and building a new habit takes time. So those who still have the drive and enthusiasm to change, will be able to continue well until they can finally cure their gambling addiction.

Emotional problem will arise as the main provider will have a big problem with his finances, gambling addiction affects the lives of everyone that surrounds that person, especially if he's already have an obligation to provide the needs of his family, I guess all are depends from how the person carry the load, addiction might not be possible if the person is busy taking care of his life and the obligation that he needed to take care.

Indeed, admitting a problem is the first critical step towards its resolution. It takes a lot of guts to see the signs of addiction, especially when it comes to something as dangerous as gambling. However, understanding isnt enough. It demands rigorous action. Yes, its important to start with small, real steps, but why do so many people fail and go back to their bad habits? Could it be that online gambling is designed to play mind games with people who are weak and keep them hooked?

Starting with these small changes is like putting the base of a house on a stormy sea for addicts. Its not enough to just recognize and start, you have to be persistent. The whole building can fall down over time if the base isnt strong. Putting in these repeated, steady efforts is what leads to healing. Even though the path is long and dangerous, the hope of a better life is strong enough to keep them going.

Many people fail and return to their old habits because perhaps they see that they are incapable of going through everything and that there is no greater support from the people closest to them. Hence, they feel they have been abandoned by the people closest to them. Gambling games are designed to make people return to gambling, especially those who do not have strong self-control, to limit themselves from gambling too often. And it has succeeded in influencing many people to return to gambling and not being able to control their desire to gamble.

That is why gamblers must have strong self-control so as not to be influenced by anything they encounter in gambling. Apart from that, they need to restrain themselves from taking all the promotions at the casino so that they only gamble in moderation. And once they gamble enough, they can stop gambling and leave the casino.

Starting with these small changes is like putting the base of a house on a stormy sea for addicts. Its not enough to just recognize and start, you have to be persistent. The whole building can fall down over time if the base isnt strong. Putting in these repeated, steady efforts is what leads to healing. Even though the path is long and dangerous, the hope of a better life is strong enough to keep them going.

For those that have not suffered through an addiction it may be difficult to understand, but leaving behind any addiction is incredibly hard, and people will hardly succeed on their first try, they will remain clean for some time and then they will go back to their addiction, so several tries are needed until the person can successfully leave their addiction behind and this is a process that can take years, with this in mind it does not surprise me at all that people simply give up and decide to keep themselves on the path of the addicted as this is the easiest path for them to take.

It's way difficult to let go of a bad habit than to cultivate a new one, in most cases the victim end up accepting their fate and live with it but then after several trial to quit an addiction some succeed and end the addiction while some give up because they find it really difficult to let go of the habit, for those who have been able to leave behind a certain addiction, they never wish to go back to it.

In case where the addict is finding it difficult to leave the habit it's very important to seek help but sadly some wouldn't want to for the fear of been judged or perceived as been a certain person or probably irresponsible, so they most likely want to stay with their addiction and leave with it hoping one day they would automatically stop which never happens. Professional help is always the best way to quickly get rid of addiction but other ways may work but will definitely be slow and incomplete as compared to when it's professional.

Indeed, admitting a problem is the first critical step towards its resolution. It takes a lot of guts to see the signs of addiction, especially when it comes to something as dangerous as gambling.

Without someone that will be there to help  I agree with your argument,  but if there are people who cares that will help and guide the person, he can achieved his goal of quitting away from gambling,  as he know that it will harm him again if he will not leave this pattern in life.

It's hard for sure but with self will and strong determination stopping all the way can be achieved.  Tough but doable if there's someone who's willing to guide and help in each time of struggle.
