The madness of gambling addicts.

[Pamadar]

I intend to punish those addicted to gambling who act against ethics, affecting society and even family members. They can do anything to gamble. They will steal or cheat to get money to gamble. They even kidnap and extort money. They stop at nothing to get money to gamble. I need really heavy legislation for people like that. Even their relatives punish them to prevent addicts like them from becoming criminals.

It is difficult what you are saying because the death penalty also doesn't keep people from killing others and get sentenced to death for murder.

I think if someone is willing to lose it all and even risk everything from someone else, including the health and wealth of others, they are probably so fucked up mentally that they need medical help and therapy at least in combination with legal consequences like jail or other punishments. The file isn't closed when you just send them to prison although that also helps sometimes.

Good point, not because there's strong punishment means those addicted people will stop. If the addiction already pollutes their minds,
it's hard to predict things that they can do.

I agree that more deep sanctions for people who are involved in addiction to be punished, they should
not be allowed to reason their addiction and justify what they've done. Better to send them to prisons or
rehab, since they are not doing anything right anymore.

Well, harsh punishment doesn't stop them, either. But we need laws to protect those around us. We cannot let them roam outside the law. Please put them in jail and be strict with those who commit too serious crimes. Be tolerant of those who know their mistakes but still maintain some morality. Get psychological treatment and help them overcome their addiction.
And the final punishment they will have to suffer if they do not know how to correct their mistakes. That's loneliness. No one will want to be near them, including relatives.

Is prison an effective ending for curing someone from gambling addiction that they suffer, in a blog, I read that addiction is a mental disorder, so rehabilitation is a much more effective step than giving a prison sentence to someone who has a gambling addiction disorder.

Today, it’s widely accepted by major scientific associations that addiction is a medical illness. The National Institute on Drug Abuse [NIDA] and the American Psychiatric Association [APA] both define addiction as a “brain disease,” and the DSM-V lists criteria for classifying addiction as a mental health condition called “Substance Use Disorder.”

However, it wasn’t always this way. In the United States, there’s a long history of vilifying not only drugs and alcohol, but also the people who use them. Less than a century ago, addiction wasn’t seen as an illness outside of one’s control, but rather as a moral failing rooted in one’s personality.

but everyone has different weaknesses, our duty as relatives is to try as best we can to help our relatives recover, when they can't afford it then a rehabilitation center is the best way, besides the cost is not too expensive, rather than going to prison, there is a big possibility of addicts gambling will become more evil and violent.

They needed that kind of treatment since even they know what the consequence of the act they made, they are still willing to do it.

With harsh punishment that will give law, a hard claw in terms of those gambling addicted
crimes, it will help those people who are affected, not only the gambler itself, but those
people behind him, people that are affected by the crime he made.

The gambling addict should ready to get away from the gambling,So that he get involve to get away from it.Incase they doesn’t follow words after the advice,fully it will be the full of the time waste to the advising person.Some countries giving harsh punishment for the gamblers,but it’s due their religious law against the gambling.The Islamic law was not favour the gambling,so the concept of the halal gambling was game.Let’s wait and see how the Islamic people react for the halal gambling site.But it’s seems to be the gambling for the business and added with some sugar for the Muslim community to accept the gambling buy the halal word.

That's right, it's not certain that someone will just stop gambling with punishment, it takes a long process and time if it's not balanced with a real intention to stop gambling.
I agree with your method, if you give rehabilitation sanctions or stay away from your beloved family (prison) then gamblers will be deterred and want to stop their gambling addiction, it sounds very scary, but nevertheless I think that is the only best step.

it sounds scary and there are still methods that can be used in a good way, actually the problem of addicts is only in their bad habits, therefore it is difficult to stop the bad habit of gambling quickly, it requires treatment and a process that takes a long time, the same as his process Becoming an addict is not instant, it definitely takes a long time, he continues to gamble and eventually becomes an addict.

An addict will recover by himself when he starts to feel like he has lost everything that is valuable to him, for example his family, home and everything he has, when he is at his lowest, I am sure he will realize that and contact someone again to ask for help so that he can recover, but there are also those who don't care about life anymore then commit suicide, but it all depends on the level of addiction, because it is difficult to change people's habits quickly, it takes time to guide them and the most correct thing is to let them then when they come for help, slowly teach them to change their patterns he thought that gambling would not make him rich, let alone give him wealth. gambling is just for fun, nothing more, I'm sure with that mindset he will slowly control himself for the better.

But even though gambling addicts are in rehabilitation, they must be determined to cure their gambling addiction. Otherwise, they may return to gambling after the rehabilitation period is complete because they think they can pretend to go through the healing process to get out and return to their gambling activities quickly. There must be awareness from the gambling addict that he is addicted to gambling, and he comes to rehabilitation to cure his gambling addiction for the sake of himself and his family. And his family must continue to encourage him so that he can cure his gambling addiction. Indeed, it will take time and sometimes longer than scheduled because it all depends on the physical and mental condition of the gambling addict.

With strong and serious determination and motivation to recover from your beloved family, including stopping someone from gambling and it also takes a long time if he doesn't change his mindset that gambling will make him miserable because he will lose the money we have. And maybe he also lost his own family. It is true that if someone is crazy about gambling, it will have an impact on their physical and mental health, such as looking anxious and confused when they lose and when they want to gamble they don't have any more money.

If the case is that serious then it has entered the realm of crime and must be punished according to applicable state regulations. I agree to punish but not act in a judgmental manner without having a policy. Do it with the hands of power and let the government act. This is no longer our job because it involves serious violations.
The level of gambling addiction in my area is also starting to look scary, almost the same, where addicts dare to steal to fulfill their gambling ambitions but not to the point of injuring or killing. However, it is still a criminal act.

Stopping bad habits is not easy, and in general it is difficult to do, especially for those who are chronic. Chronic gambling addiction is an addiction that is difficult to cure and also takes a long time to recover completely.
However, if there is effort and keep trying with serious intentions, nothing is impossible. And a rehabilitation center is just a place where addicts do not recognize or carry out their habits and are diverted to other activities or activities to forget them, but this cannot guarantee that the addict will recover completely. And they will recover if they have sincere intentions and are supported by those closest to them, family, lover or life partner or anyone who can help and support their recovery, and are always under their supervision.

It affects both physical and mental, you will notice that as a person who is already addicted doesn't care to anything aside from continuing to play and lets his desire to be accomplished.

we always haveour option, either if you are in side of the gambler or if you are on the side of the person who
are caring for the person who are involved with this kind of activities, you need to work on how you make things
right and have that self-will to make things happen for the betterment. Either you or is it someone who is affected
on it.

That's what we have to start realizing to stop the habit of gambling because if we don't immediately change that mindset, we will only continue to experience difficulties in gambling. And perhaps someone will become physically and mentally disturbed because of the difficulty of winning. And if a person starts to feel heavy when gambling, that is a sign for him to stop immediately and think about the benefits of gambling. If he doesn't find the biggest benefit from gambling, it is better for him to immediately learn to reduce his time gambling and start changing his gambling habits by replacing them with new habits.

Only by trying to build new habits can he stop his old habits so that his old habits will not bind him. People with chronic gambling addiction must be immediately taken to a rehabilitation center to receive appropriate treatment, and perhaps only their immediate family can see the signs. But it also requires support from his family so he can recover from his addiction, and when he has gone through all the programs at the rehabilitation center, he can cure his gambling addiction.

Have you noticed how online slots resemble video games? Colors, noises, and instant gratification hook us. A well designed digital tornado has replaced the card and dice game.

Im curious about rehab centers. Although they offer a reprieve from daily life, they are like digital recovery camps for phone addicts. A short break? Yes. Way out? Maybe not all. Interestingly, the addict's head, where desire and reason balance, rolls the dice.

As you said, support can drown out chronic gaming. However, even in the wide ocean of internet gambling, a life jacket is sometimes a click away. This can include self-imposed limitations, timeouts, or helplines. Play the game well, but dont let it play you.

One of the most unfortunate incidents that can happen in the life of anyone is to end of as a gambling addict because it won't only ruin the person's life but also negatively affect anyone that's living around the addict. It's one of the gravest addicts that can happen to anyone it's very hard for anyone who's addicted to gambling to be relieved of the addiction.
That being said, it's still very much possible but first of all the addicted person must accept his fate as an addict and completely make up his mind to be liberated from it. No one can talk a gambling addict out of from gambling until the said person is determined to get rid of the addict

Yes, it is actually quite difficult to simply stop a bad habit that creates a positive reward in your head.

Usually it's better to swap the behavior with some other behavior that also gives you a positive reward, but is a not a bad behavior, say, going out for a run whenever you have the urge to gamble.

Over time, your brain will adapt and you will happily do the swapped behavior instead of the negative one. Starting is the most difficult part.

That means it requires openness from the gambling addict to admit that they are addicted to gambling. Only he can make him stop gambling because even though someone asks him to stop, he doesn't want to stop. It was a shame because he had to sacrifice his life to become a gambling addict. Maybe he really has to accept the fact that he is addicted to gambling and ask for help from other people to accompany him in curing his gambling addiction. If he wants to ask other people for help, there will be someone who really wants to help him sincerely because he cares about that person's life.

Perhaps he needs to try creating other activities or behaviors to avoid the urge to gamble. Perhaps he does something else that he never thought about before so that it can give him a new activity later. This will help him block thoughts about gambling, especially when he doesn't have time to open his smartphone to reply to chats from anyone. This needs to be done regularly so that our bodies get used to it, and these positive things will influence our brains. The more positive things we can do, the more we will leave behind things that can have a negative impact. And in the end, we can reduce our gambling time and even stop gambling.

Yeah, but in general it's easier to swap the behavior than to simply stop doing something negative.

Simply stopping is really hard because you will end up with a vacuum that your brain is trying to fill like crazy, and sooner than later you will end up doing the same old habits.

But if you change your activities, your brain will be able to adapt and accept the other activities instead, and you will have a better chance to not go back to old habits.

[Rengga Jati]

many gambling addicts have lost their minds because their desire to continue gambling overpowers their common sense, hence the importance of "gambling responsibly"

Yes, this is indeed one of the dangers of gambling addicts and the reason why gambling is illegal in several countries. Because the negative impact is mostly not only on the gambling person himself, but also on the surrounding environment and increasing criminal records. I'm not saying that this is for all gamblers, but for addicted gamblers who really can't control themselves and are willing to do anything just to satisfy their desire for gabling. Not a few of them even suffer losses to the point that they want to sell all their assets when they are addicted to gambling. Unfortunately, some of them do not want to undergo treatment to overcome this quite dangerous gambling addiction. From the news above, it can be understood that this crime is really true. This can occur due to the effects of excessive gambling addiction. This is truly unfortunate and will actually make the gambling business have a bad image in society.

But if you change your activities, your brain will be able to adapt and accept the other activities instead, and you will have a better chance to not go back to old habits.

That's why the best therapy is to divert yourself from doing some productive things or sports that will make you forget your old bad habits. This is the first advice the doctor gives you when you first consult a psychiatrist. But when the symptom persists and you still find yourself at the place where you should not, they will tell you another thing which will eventually be the same as the first one. Also getting some good companies will help and I don't mind sitting with what they call low-class people as long as they will make me realize that money isn't everything in this world and I don't need to chase it every day in a rush.
