Have you been threaten to stop gambling

[slapper]

Its common that every people have an inner fear when his/her close one is addicted to gambling or he had turned bad gambling beyond his ability. At such situation the gambler should realise his mistakes and try to be responsible supporting the family. This is where gambling is stated as the reason for the people(close ones) to take such decisions.

Proper awareness and the guidance seems to be the right way to make these kind of people understand the consequences of gambling. Rehabilitation centres play big role and governments need to fund it good to make changes among addicted people's lives.

Seeing someone close spiraling down the rabbit hole of gambling addiction is as distressing as watching your favorite team lose the finals. The sense of powerlessness can be overwhelming.

Encouraging them to own up to their predicament is akin to persuading a cat to take a bath. It's hard, but not impossible. However, merely recognizing the problem is like owning a Ferrari with no gas. It won't get you anywhere.

Rehabilitation centers are indeed significant, and government funding can turbocharge their efforts. Yet, it's critical not to ignore the role of personal responsibility and the influence of supportive circles. Because sometimes, even the best lifeboats need a helping hand to pull someone aboard, right?

This actually happens if there is a similar thread I'll lock this thread.

My friend invited me for a round of drinks just last night to confess something, and that is his wife threatened to leave their house and file for legal separation because the wife just discovered that he's spending a lot of time gambling, she thought that he's just playing games but she discovered his logged because the idiot has his password in the browser, so the wife check his withdrawal and voila his losing a lot of money and she also discovered that he won big money in the past but didn't tell her.

I guess that blew her patience for not telling his winning, so he threaten that he should stop gambling or they part ways, my friend choose his wife so he cannot play until he can convince his wife and promise her to tell her if he won big.

How about you have you been threatened by your wife, your girlfriend, or your parents, if so tell us your story.

If you have to hide things from your spouse, you probably married the wrong woman or man IMO. If you want to go gamble now and then you shouldn't have to hide it. Losing a large amount once or twice and trying to hide it to avoid the argument is another thing though. You probably need to go talk with a professional about your gambling habit if you cannot control yourself.

Probably that could be a reason too as some partners in life have set their negative mindset on gambling and things that will trigger it will only worsen the situation. That’s why being transparent to each other is always essential. Especially in gambling wherein that could totally lose your right mindset and thinking if you become addicted in gambling. However, threatening your partner is not the best solution. Resolve the problem by talking about it first before you jump into another heavy decision in life.

Dont put up yourself into a situation on which you would really be losing your wife or breaking your entire marriage just because you didnt make yourself transparent or having that being honest with your partner because we know that trust is really the main foundation if we do speak about strong and long lasting relationship then it would really be the main ingredients on achieving so but if one of the other side will really be that secretive then it would really be starting out that kind of problem which might really be sparking soon or on the time that it would be busted up.

Well, this isnt really just talking about men but also to women or wives too on which there are things which really might be kept out from his husband or whatsover.
We know that once secrets been revealed and the other side is really that being blind for too long, then whats next? We do know that there would really be already that trust
issues on which it isnt really something that cant be forgotten. If its been that resolved out but that trust isnt 100% anymore. Trust me, ive been there.

all my life, only my parents could threaten me to stop gambling even though in the end I returned to gambling after previously making promises to my parents

Over time, I have become more and more convinced that it is we ourselves who can change and direct our lives, as long as we can control our gambling habits then why should we stop gambling!!

If it ever reaches the point that these sort of threats happen, then you probably need to take a serious look and re-evaluate whether you have a problem. It is very easy to go into a state of denial and try to hide from these things, especially if you have dug yourself a big whole and wasted a lot of money. Some people pretend they are experts, only ever looking back at their previous wins and totally ignoring the many losses in between. If you think you are a genuine winner, then you should be recording all your results in a spreadsheet and over time it will tell you whether you really are successful. If you have to keep depositing money on a consistent basis then you are likely in the long term loser category.

Of course my father always told me to stay away from gambling and he is generally very serious about religion, as gambling is prohibited in every religion, my father always told me to stay away from gambling completely with faith in religion. But I try to stop myself from gambling as my father said.

Lol, you're lying.

If gambling is prohibited in your country and your father told you to stay away from gambling completely, you will not join a signature campaign related with gambling which you need to post about gambling due to requirements of the campaign.

You've applied a gambling campaign before, that's contradict what you're currently saying.

You are not making much sense. He said that his father is religious and gambling is prohibited in their religion and not in their country. How does religion have anything to do with where you live? There are people from different religious beliefs living in the USA, but is gambling prohibited there? No, it is not, so if a Muslim father prohibits his son to avoid gambling because it's prohibited (Haram) is their religion, it doesn't mean they can't do it from a legal point of view.

Similarly, his being in a gambling-related signature campaign has nothing to do with him being a gambler or not. Does a signature campaign manager ask you if you are a gambler or not before accepting you? No, they don't, all they need is your posts and you don't need to be a gambler to be in a gambling-related signature campaign.

He did say "try" so I guess he is not fully devoted to the religion that his father believes. Maybe they have different religions. It happens, me and my father have different religions but we are both Christians. Different group though. One Catholic and the other Jehova's Witnesses. But in terms of gambling, my father loved cockfighting so in my case there's no sense if he tells me to stop gambling or avoid it.  That won't be right because I will just spit it back to him.
In our family, (mother's side) there's no gambling addict and discipline had been thought when it comes to playing cards with money on the line, we cannot go as far as $1 per game, just pennies and dimes converted in our currency. The threat will be a belt hit in our back if ever we are caught gambling with large amounts. I carried that discipline up until now and I don't go as far as $100 per bet which I am okay with. Responsible gambling starts with the gambler himself.

We all know this, that our love ones just truly care for us but most of the time we can't be understood the way we wanted to be understood.
If you are gambling lavishly while letting your family taken for granted, you really need to stop. Have a life. Don't let gambling be your life. Have a job and provide for your family. Gambling is not a stable income. Don't let it determine how you treat the people around you.

If winning big in gambling requires you to lose your family, is that truly a win? Think of it.

We easily don't understand them because we are eaten our pride and just want to continue the game. For sure all of us experience this and luckily we get out near addicting stage which for sure we can't handle if this continues. But for sure thru experience all of those people experiencing that way can realize that they are doing a bad decisions in life so maybe later on they listen to their love ones about their suggestion and minimize their gambling habbits.

[Mr. Magkaisa]

    -    The only thing that makes your friend wonder is why he didn't tell his wife that he won big gambling? I only gamble once in a while but there are times when I win gambling around 100$-200$ I tell my wife, and then I stop and my wife doesn't get mad at me.

Because my wife knows that I don't win very often, she also knows that when I play gambling online here in crypto, I only have a limit of 30$ and when this amount is used up, I stop. really me.

[Doan9269]

You don't even have to force or trick many people to stop gambling. I think everyone considers quitting or voluntarily quitting gambling at one time or another. But how long will that last? Often not for a very long time of course. We always get a moment when the weather starts to tickle and just then that's the moment when things go gamble again. So a gambler will start gambling again in 99% of the gambler population sooner or later.

What makes people to stop gambling fast is when they gave voluntarily made the decision to quit, forcing someone to stop gambling is not as easy as expected especially when dealing with an adult who is already addicted to it, but making thiis can actually to made on children because they are still under parental control, gambling is what gives some people the joy and that happiness they would have wanted to get for the day after being engaged on the busy schedules and activities of the day, some get relieved through gambling while some gambling in such a way that discourages others from gambling which is the reason why force stop in gambling may be required in such situations.

quitting gambling or voluntarily curing addiction is very easy as long as the person's mindset is always positive about achieving better life goals. many gamblers who stop gambling voluntarily without coercing anyone and to this day they still do not return to gambling and are successful with their business after stopping gambling.
all of that is actually very easy for gambling addicts who have the mindset to get better and develop in the future. there is no difficulty as long as they have great determination.
so a gambling addict who wants to stop usually he will never be tempted by gambling and will never come back again even though any situation compels them to gamble they will still avoid it by sticking to the commitments he has formed while staying away from addiction.

Playing honestly will be very good especially for the wife, because it will make us calmer in gambling, you are very consistent if you spend $ 30 and stop when you have reached it, just like what I am doing now limiting my betting money every time I play gambling , I am not a gambler who is active every day sometimes gamble only on weekends but even then don't spend more than $ 20.

Starting from honesty will keep us from the brink of collapse whether it's losing our family or money, when our wife knows that we are gambling, of course she will control ourselves when we are complacent in the game so she can stop herself in the game. to be honest, not many people do this method, but it is very important for our wives and families to know that we often play gambling.

That's an interesting point, I agree that most gamblers think about quiting at least once during their casino career. Especially after a big loss it's natural to think about if it really was necessary to water so much money which lead to our downfall. But these are usually only thoughts coming from grief of the lost money and are not going to last. Eventually most of us come back to the tables and enjoy the excitement of gambling again. The main question is now if through external factors we could really stop gambling forever or if this is only going to be a short break. I remember reading about addiction treatments that if the patient is not believing in the cause than it's not going to work. The first step should always be to make sure that someone believes in the cause. Threatening someone is not a rational choice as it won't convince him to follow it longterm. Also living in fear is not a healthy way for a relationship.

this is where will power and sheer determination come into action. if you do want to quit and change for the better, you need to exercise those traits to break off your habit. you need to remind yourself the very reason why you need to quit. so you would have a strong motivation to keep up with your promise to yourself. without such reason, would be hard to follow the change of lifestyle. you will always go back to square one if you don't have such strong desire to change for the betterment of yourself.

The key word is control, if you can control yourself yeah there is no need to be controlled by someone else. Some people think it is easy to get rid the gambling addiction but in reality, gambling addiction can be so dangerous when you don't take it seriously. The more we play the more dopamine brings addictions in our brain cells, IMO.

I agree with what you said, the more often we play gambling, the more often it will lead us into addiction, but if from the start we have good self-defense then we can avoid severe addiction

in essence, we must often train our minds and think Gambling is entertainment, not the best way to make money

Over time, I have become more and more convinced that it is we ourselves who can change and direct our lives, as long as we can control our gambling habits then why should we stop gambling!!

I mean, if intervention was necessary to even have you consider stopping from gambling, then maybe something is really wrong with you, and I would've wished you did something in the past that will make sure you don't get back to gambling again but at the very least you knew the error of your ways and are now (I hope) making sure that you gamble responsibly, if not discontinue gambling at all. Realization is the first step towards successfully changing yourself, it's not necessarily going to be the definition of your success cause it's a long way from that but at the very least you got there already.

Let this be known, that if your spouse/relatives are already concerned about your gambling habits, then it most likely is really somethign that is dire no matter how much you downplay it. Have yourself checked and stop gambling altogether. Save yourself and the people around you the trouble of losing a valuable person from gambling addiction.

People would really be making out those realizations on the time that they would really be experiencing those bad experiences that they havent able to experience before or consequences. If you are really that serious on quitting then you should stick into that and you do really need that extreme self control and discipline because we know that once addiction would kick in then its really that hard to resist out if you do still
see those things around which is something that you should really be avoid as much as you could. Affecting out your family relationship is something that already one of the con's when dealing with
gambling that much. Dont really come into a point that you would really be breaking your family just because of too much addiction. You should really be that mindful about
your gambling activity that everything should really be proper and moderate way.

Have I ever been threatened to stop gambling? No I would say probably not. If I had, you would think I remember it.

The problems that gambling addiction can bring were never really imposed on me. Perhaps I have a gambling addiction, perhaps not. But since nobody has made an effort to stop me from gambling or telling me that there is any problem, I would have to suppose that I am fine.

Of course that does not mean that the people around me enjoy seeing me gamble. Those who oppose those kinds of things will always try to warn or dissuade you from them. But that has more to do with their beliefs and norms rather than your gambling habits.

you never mentioned that he neglected the wife's financial needs, that's the only time I'd have said I felt where her pains and anger seems to be coming from, but, in as much as he is doing what he's supposed to in the relationship, what right has she to stop him or give him such options??

It's fine, I've learnt to let family issues be theirs, finally the know best how to settle their differences and you who tries to interfere may become an enemy to them.

[Crypt0Gore]

I found gambling to be more easier when you are single and not married than when you are married and have some responsibility because you will need to be more extra careful if you are a married man so that you won't end up breaking your home or losing your wife in the process, even if you are a multi-millionaire gambling can turn you into a poor person if care is not taken.

As a married man you now have some responsibility to take care of, so you can't use all your spare money for gambling, every spare money is useful for a married man because of responsibility, so even if you can make some extra income, you will still need to divide that into two and use the a part for gambling and the other for an emergency fee, just in case.

This should be the way of a married man or should I say a responsible married man? and as a responsible married man, you have to limit your gambling every week,. There is a possibility of losing more money because you can easily be distracted, when you're married there will be a lot of things in your head and as a distracted gambler,  you lose more than a focus gambler.
