The madness of gambling addicts.

[ethereumhunter]

Indeed, it would be better for us to seek various references from several people to be used as experience and reference material. There have been lots of people who have experienced downturns and bad luck in their lives because of the effects of gambling, but somehow there are still many people who do it. I realize that it is very difficult to get out of that zone and even if it can it will require quite a big struggle when someone has to fight the curiosity of their gambling addiction, and most of them cannot get past this. Be a healthy gambler, don't be too ambitious and don't ever assume that you will be able to get a lot of money just by gambling because this is really just luck that won't always come every time.

What is important is that we can distance ourselves from being addicted to gambling, especially if we have seen many people around us who have experienced many defeats at gambling. But some of them will surely be frustrated because they have suffered that defeat and still try to play gambling in the hope that they can win one day. Getting out of the gambling zone is difficult, especially if we have often played gambling before and need the practice to reduce gambling activities. However, we must try to be responsible gamblers so that we don't experience gambling addiction, which negatively impacts our lives.

The fact is that to stop completely is very difficult and almost impossible, but if someone is serious in their intention, they can start by reducing the time for gambling, adding a lot of daily activities will be a great alternative because with a busy life someone will not have time to express his desire to gamble.

It really takes seriousness to stop gambling because it is not easy to avoid thinking about gambling, where a person will continue to be carried away by previous gambling experiences. If a person can have the firm will reduce gambling, he certainly can do it as long as he keeps practising to reduce it. Doing lots of activities will help a person slowly forget about gambling so if he can do it continuously, he can get out of gambling.

It is not easy to get rid of the gambling addiction. If it was easy, then there would have been no addiction at all. It is more of a mind and psychological thing and a gambling addict needs to consult a psychologist if he is not able to get rid of this habit himself.

Usually, in our society, people deny the fact that they are gambling addicts, and even if they know it, they would hesitate to go to any psychologist to get their treatment. The gambling addicts think that he is to make money and those who are trying to stop him from gambling are his enemies.

[pakhitheboss]

you can tell a person has sunken into his gambling vices if he has already done crimes like that grandpa who kidnapped a kid for ransom. it's probably not his first, he must have stolen lots before this like jewelry or so. it can be hard for this old dog to stop gambling as he is addicted. even in prison, he will still gamble that's for sure.

hard for someone to resist when he has money and can easily access a platform gamble. he doesn't just need community support but things to get busy about.

You are correct before committing such a henious crime this grandpa might have committed others which never came out in public. That is what chronic addicts do and since he was not caught previously he thought this time too he will walk away with this crime. Old man got overconfident and now will rot in jail for this crime.

at this stage it takes a long time for gambling addicts who want to stop gambling and all of these efforts must require the support of some of the closest people such as family, relatives or partners who can help encourage them to keep trying to forget gambling. In other situations, gambling addicts must be given activities such as light work that can divert their minds from thinking about gambling, but of course they must always be encouraged.
with this effort, I believe that it is the spirit of the people closest to me that can slowly help addicts to recover soon.

I agree with your opinion and all of that, if it is based on really big intentions and determination then I am sure that even a crazy gambling addict can stop and recover from his addiction.
But the problem is there is this intention because it is difficult to have the intention and persistence to be able to stop and most gambling addicts really want to recover but when they try it they are tempted again to play games or bets that they have previously loved.

Saying how to stop gambling is easier than we imagine and of course to be able to get through all the challenges to stop is very difficult.

Our intentions varies, we only have the chance to explore it when we deserved them. Gambling addicts might easily say they can stop gambling, but actually performing it is difficult to do. They usually have to work severely to stop it, which is not a straightforward task for them. Addicts will go to any dimension to gamble on games; they don't even have principles, and if they do, they can simply annihilate them. Gambling addicts want to quit but don't know how; it's similar to addiction, where you can't live without a particular drug on a regular schedule.

It is not easy to get rid of the gambling addiction. If it was easy, then there would have been no addiction at all. It is more of a mind and psychological thing and a gambling addict needs to consult a psychologist if he is not able to get rid of this habit himself.

Usually, in our society, people deny the fact that they are gambling addicts, and even if they know it, they would hesitate to go to any psychologist to get their treatment. The gambling addicts think that he is to make money and those who are trying to stop him from gambling are his enemies.

Efforts are needed to get rid of gambling addiction because someone who is already addicted to gambling also finds it difficult to accept that he is a gambling addict. For this reason, he needs help from other people who can understand his situation and want to help him get out of gambling. And even though it takes a long time to get out or overcome his gambling addiction, he should be able to do it with help from others because it is for his own good.

Gambling addicted people may deny the fact that they are gambling addicts. But people who want to help them must be able to convince themselves to go to a psychologist or rehabilitation centre so that they can immediately get help to cure their gambling addiction.

at this stage it takes a long time for gambling addicts who want to stop gambling and all of these efforts must require the support of some of the closest people such as family, relatives or partners who can help encourage them to keep trying to forget gambling. In other situations, gambling addicts must be given activities such as light work that can divert their minds from thinking about gambling, but of course they must always be encouraged.

This will depend on the gambler and the person who wants to help the gambler because even if it takes a long time, they must be able to live it. Full support must also be given to people who will heal from their gambling addiction so that they do not feel alone in undergoing this healing. Perhaps what will be most difficult is the initial moments of healing, where the addicted gambler has to change his gambling habit by making new habits with people who want to help him. But after a few weeks, he should be doing well and cured of his gambling addiction.

This was once a failed experiment to me, we've done it before for a family friend that got addicted to gambling and things look better and I personally spend a week with this fella just to make sure he won't be alone, I thought him few other things that can keep him busy and make money in the process, but after several months he went back into gambling, my point is when are you not going to leave them?

There will be a time where they will be alone, the best way to beat gambling adddict is if the gambler is willing to beat the addict himself, they need to put in the work themselves, and that's when the chains of addiction will break finally.

If you are the only one that has the mind to save a gambling addict from addiction, you have alreday failed before you begin.

Sorry about that, but this is why despite the best intentions of their family members and their friends, the decision and the conviction to leave their gambling addiction behind must come from within the addicted, if this is not the case then it does not matter how much you try to help them, at some point you will have to do something else other than helping them, and once they find themselves on their own they will go back to their old habits and everything that was done for them would be for nothing.

I also agree with what you say, because your family, friends and everyone can tell you not to do it and receive all the help to have overcome it, but in the end it cannot be denied that that person who is addicted will only have a moment. between him and the game, and if the person does not control his impulses and what makes him addicted will fall on the addiction, then here the responsibility, the willpower is not from friends or family, it is from the same person if I want to return to have a bad time and make those who love it feel bad, that's why I say for me the problem of addiction is 90% of the person and 10% of the casino or Casinos, but it really is not from the casino but from the person .

I'm not some kind of psychologist, but I believe that a person has to have a very high enough self-esteem so that they can realize that if they are spending more money than normal, they feel an impulse to look for more money, they have to control that, and not look for more problems, Personally, I think that if a person needs psychological help, it is because there has come a time when they Cannot control their mind, that is a big problem, but even so , they must seek help quickly before they comment on more things that harm them.

Don't be an addicted gambler and now is the best time to stay off the possibility for such before you finally finds yourself into it, addiction in gambling is not easy to control and prevention is the better cure, you could see what addiction has turned many people to be both in gambling and from other areas of life they were found to be too involved, we must learn how to moderately apply caution to how we deals with gambling in other to help us make a balance of it with how we leave our lives, better not to start than looking for a remedy to cub the consequences.

Yeah, everyone is different. Some people can happily gamble a bit here and there and continue their life.

Others can't really focus on anything other than gambling, and they will lose all their money there.

And others are simply never really attracted to it.

The key thing is to always remain in control, no matter what you choose to do.

You are very right my good friend, gambling addiction is indeed, one of those sicknesses it's prevention is better than looking for cure or a way to remedy the situation, gambling addiction have destroyed many great destinies, so it's a call on every gambler to apply wisdom and caution to our gambling lifestyle and activities.

Gambling is not bad at all, but like too much of everything they say is bad, too much gambling lead to addiction, which is bad, even casinos themselves advice their users to always gamble responsibly, so it is upon us to always take precaution, and never gamble carelessly.

It is also important to identify which kind of person you are and then act accordingly, there are people out there that due to their personalities have a higher chance of developing some sort of addiction, and if you notice you have some of those characteristics then it is important to be incredibly careful with the activities which are known to cause an addiction, like alcohol and drugs, however this will require an honest assessment of our own characteristics, something that is really difficult for most people to do.

It is hard to self asses a personality, you would need professional help for that. Not everyone is happy to spend money on such an issue as everyone thinks they are better than others. Therefore you cannot expect an honest assessment of it and none of us would think we have a bad habit. I am not a psychologist or a subject matter expert but I think it is common sense. What we can do is judge ourselves through the eyes of others without them knowing about it. If your friends want to stay away from you then it is a matter of concern and then we can work around our personality. If you are lying to hide your addiction then it is a big concern and it needs your complete attention.

Yes, absolutely.

It is key to know yourself.

You need to know what kind of person you are, and how prone you are to addiction.

It doesn't matter if it is alcohol, gambling, chocolate or cheese, or anything else. It's usually a type of person that has a hard time controlling their own behavior when confronted with addiction, and it's good to realize this early on.

People who gamble deal with gambling in different ways. But of course you start with losing and winning. When we win, the moods are usually reasonably comparable, but the problems naturally arise when a player is losing. Some cry in a corner and avoid all contact with other players. And yet other gamblers who have lost need contact to push away the gambling loss and try to forget that a financial blow has taken place. There are also several books written about it, by the way, for enthusiasts.

For every player it will always be essential to have full control of their thoughts, emotions and above all the money they can handle, for this reason I always say, a person who enters a casino always enters with the thought that they cannot see or casino as an ATM, but see it as a means where you will have a part of your money for fun and not to win necessarily, that is what many do not see, and I call it maturity, as a person goes advancing in the game that is what you learn and above all to manage your money and everything that has to do with your vision

With a kind of mindset, it will lessen the pressure of trying to win out from the casino.

But we know in reality we will have that fun. I mean, we will be able to maximize the fun when we exit with a decent amount
of winning, right? Though it's always or most of the time, it's also the problem as the appetite for gambling is increasing
and we for sure wanted to earn more enjoyment together with more money involve.

Yes, the problem associated with gambling is that if we play more, the probability of having more money increases and that is something that cannot be avoided, we all always have that little ambition, but that ambition does not have to be fed as much if We do not have enough money to give ourselves that pleasure or that privilege, but if we are people who have our money counted to fulfill all our responsibilities in life, we must be strong enough to be able to assume that in the game we must take things. calmly and not start inventing other things, like risking everything and thinking that we are going to earn twice what we have.

When we go to the casinos, what comes to mind is multiplying all the money we have, and things are not like that, sometimes the opposite happens, that's where that rookie blow hits us, and losing money is not the idea for losing it.

Well, there are also people who are lucky and play at the right time, some multiply the money at once, and well, that is something that can happen, but normally things happen is that more is lost than won.

Those who overly go all in to bet have a lot of challenges because of their inability to control their gambling desires and putting limits to the amount of games and stakes they play, because is the worst stage of gambling addiction that lead to indebtedness frustration and possible depression and to cure this is not an easy task and like you both rightly said, it is better to avoid sinking down into that stage of addiction because it outcome can be overly devastating at some point.

So gamblers must be very careful and to apply wisdom while using those casinos in other to avoid getting hang by addiction.

Both consecutive wins and losses can lead to gambling addiction. When a gambler loses bets repeatedly, he needs to take a break from gambling, but the opposite reaction is seen among gamblers. They plan to gamble more to recover their lost money. As a result they become an addicted gambler within few days. Every gambler must conduct gambling within a limit. Gambling with the hope of large profit leads to the possibility of losing money in a short period of time as well as the possibility of becoming addicted to gambling.

Addiction is a complex issue, and it must be faced directly.

Some people are going to lose all their life savings in a few days. That's just not healthy, and people lose their minds first, money next, and sometimes even their life after that.

Gamble responsibly is more than just a warning, it's a life saving phrase in some cases.

but for those who are already addicted to gambling, this life saving phrase is very hard to implement. if not address early, the person will indeed be on the brink of self-destruction as well as destroying his family. because whatever his decisions will be, his immediate family is more then likely affected.
so if you think you are the one who is heading to addiction, pause for a while and contemplate on what you really want in life.

for me one of the most interesting things to think about is the "why?"

why some people end up in a situation like spending all the money they have (and sometimes even they don't have, going in debt) on gambling?
why some people get to this situation and are able to get back stronger and other no?

faith? culture? genetics? good choice bad choice?

really like these misteries.

human behavior is very random, some people have control when gambling, some other people are very addicted to gambling and some others really don't like gambling, there is no definite formula in this and the way to handle it is very different.
but the thing to remember is, not many people are desperate to be in debt or commit crimes such as robbing or stealing just to be able to gamble, those who do this are definitely those who are very desperate and can't control their desire to gamble (it makes no difference with animals)

Rarely do people want to admit their weaknesses so they easily go with the flow that makes them become addicts, even though they don't have the mentality to be able to control themselves from addiction and high curiosity, it's important to know yourself before we get to know other people, read the character and weaknesses us, if we easily become addicts, you should stay away from something that makes us addicted, such as gambling.

I know myself and have the ability to quit, I used to be a heavy smoker and finally gradually reduced it then managed to quit, that's why I'm confident that I won't become an addict easily because I can stop whenever I want with strong determination because I I believe I can control it, therefore I have never had a problem with gambling because just looking for fun will not make me addicted.

Indeed, it's quite usual that you lose more than you win.

It's really the common nature unless you have that great skills, though there are some experienced gamblers who can
make money but the majorities they are losing their money, and with how most of the replies here describe the possibilities
of what an addicted gambler can do. It's really something that we will see from those people who already mis-align their
mindsets due to gambling addiction.
