Quit gamble! Easy or Hard? Let's talk.

[DoublerHunter]

Rehabilitation may look to be the perfect solution to this problem since if the gambler has tried all his best to handle the situation on their own without any positive result,  it best option for rehab but the danger of this also is that most countries around the world most especially in the third world countries,  most of the rehabilitation centres are more or less prison houses and the victim end up becoming worst more than when their left.

^ In many countries, particularly third-world nations, numerous rehabilitation centers resemble more of prison-like institutions.
Considering this, it is worth contemplating an alternative strategy. Taking personal responsibility for one's actions and seeking support from family members can be immensely effective. Hiring a private therapist to manage the gambler's mental health and offering comprehensive assistance to help them break free from the grip of addiction could be more personalized which I think is a better idea for faster healing of addiction.
Opting for rehab could indeed be a beneficial choice but think about this downside.

That is the best possible alternative to rehabilitation centres in many countries around the world, The stress that comes with all this is the reason why,  it is better to stay off addiction and try as much as possible to avoid getting addicted than trying to quit it because quitting comes with a lot of things which one have to undergo and in most cases many addicts may not be strong enough to overcome their addiction due to the inability to withdraw from it.

But personal responsibility still remains the best method to take to achieve a positive result and for that to happen family members' efforts are needed to serve as support for the addict to be able to withdraw from gambling in the end.

it's up to the person if he wants to get rid of the gambling habit, it's easy for him but if the person loves gambling, it will be difficult for him to quit My answer to this question is that it depends on the person

When a person is deeply addicted to gambling, it is very difficult to stop the person from gambling. Although a winning addict hopes to get rid of gambling, if he does not gamble for a few days, his addiction is drawn back to gambling. In that case, if a person cannot control himself from gambling by his own will, then it is very difficult to bring him back from gambling. But if a person who is not addicted to gambling loses a few bets, he will surely come back from gambling. It is true that a person's gambling habit will depend a lot on his gambling.

[Ever-young]

Easy or hard ? It it depends on the person because if he wants to get rid of his gambling habit he can do it but if he really doesn't like and loves gambling, it can be said if he has a hard time quitting gambling

I agree with you that if the person want to stop he will but It’s not actually easy mate, I don’t know about you but as I can tell who ever that is addicted to something don’t just stop doing that easily, it requires him to have some strong decisions in other for him to be able to over come the temptation of not falling back to what he plans to stop, because gambling addict are almost equal to some smokers, who are deep into it even when the doctor advise for them to stop it still becomes a thing of debate between them and their mind if they actually stop it or not, so in aspect of gambling the person will need more than just waking up and saying I want to stop gambling, they will need someone to also be talking them out and given them courage to actually stand by their decision, they should also be limited from visit either physical or online gambling shop adding together with the persons personal decision to stop with time they can eventually stop it, but it’s not an easy to go kind of thing.

I don't think that someone who's winning a lot in gambling can be called as addict because an addict should be someone who despite losing everything still puts more money on gambling. The winners are most probably there because they enjoy the money that they earn from gambling activities and they will never leave gambling if they continue to win like that. But, if those winning gamblers start losing their bets and in those bets they start losing a lot of money and still they continue gambling activities then they can be called as addicts.

And, it would be really difficult for those people to give up on gambling activities because they have been into it for a long time and they have earned their bread and butter from it for a very long period of time. The only way to treat those gamblers so they can give up on gambling is to tell them in a direct one to one conversation that the activities they are doing are not causing damage to their life as well the lives of their loved ones. If they understand someone advice then they will continue to reduce their gambling activities and if they don't then they will lose a lot of things because of that addiction.

People who have become addicts may not have time to listen to advice because I've seen my friend even he doesn't care about his wife and children even his family because he has become a heavy gambling addict, you will probably know if you see an addict like that where advice will not guarantee to help reduce the gambling of a heavy addict, one way is to let the situation flow as it is.

Letting the addict spend everything until it runs out and then he has no more money to bet on gambling so he gradually realizes that he has gone very far so that when he starts contemplating then come to him to guide him to be able to quit gambling, because it is difficult to make an addict stop like you said because he is used in his life to spend time on gambling. the point is don't leave the addict and always monitor his movements from a distance.

The problem with gambling addiction, even after gambler lose everything he have he will find ways to please his addiction, there's some instance that he will sort to his valuable belongings and start selling or go to his relatives and friends to barrow money, and what more worse is to loan to financial institutions just to have money and continue to play.

That's the value of not letting those people to stay alone, as you can give them advice and let them realize what they already losing and hope that one day they will listen and find ways to stop.

Though I don't completely grasp the point you tried to pass in your comment , let me just say that indeed, quitting gambling after one is already addicted to it isn't easy, but then , how difficult it is solely depends on how deep the gamblers addiction is, addiction are of different levels, there are gambler who are addicted to gambling but can easily and effortlessly quit gambling if they find a good reason , while there are other who are already too deep into the addiction that quitting requires not only their own effort , but also the effort of relatives , friends, or even medical practitioners ..

And honestly speaking now , addiction to gambling has little to nothing to do with win and losses , win and losses only matter when a gambler is not addicted to gambling yet, like for example, some one who's not addicted to gambling can easily quit gambling after gambling for a while and won nothing, but for some one who is addicted , he or she will just keep gambling no matter how much he or she is losing .

I agree with the first reply that it all depends on each person who want to quit gambling.
Addiction can be seen from the overall nature of the person because what I know is that there are addicted gambler because they no longer think about life and want to waste most of their time gambling until they really lose all their money or gambling addicts who are only always chasing big losses or win.
If an addict who is hopeless with his life will find it very difficult to quit because people like this usually have a few distractions in their minds and souls such as life and death for gambling.
But for addicts who only chase big losses or win, it will be easier to be given directions to stop gambling as long as they have a little desire to quit gambling.

Usually, people who are addicted, whether it's gambling or games, will not want to admit that they are indeed addicted to gambling. Someone else must tell him that he has a gambling addiction and needs to get over it urgently or he will regret it himself. But since the addiction had taken over his mind and he had nothing else to think or do, he would continue playing as long as he had the money. And even if he didn't have any money, he would probably borrow money from someone else and if that happened, he might end up in trouble he couldn't even imagine.

And when the gambling addict can't pay off the money he borrowed, he might end his life because it's the easiest way he can do to avoid being billed by the person he borrowed. I agree that a person who gambles, whether he is a gambling addict or a non-gambling addict, will be able to stop gambling if he has the will to stop gambling. The desire came from him, and after seeing what was going on in his life, he finally decided to stop gambling.

But, if those winning gamblers start losing their bets and in those bets they start losing a lot of money and still they continue gambling activities then they can be called as addicts.

In your view, it shows that you don't know the true meaning of addiction, it doesn't necessarily mean that the thing you are addicted to is bad for you, once you find yourself doing it over and over again irrespective of whether you gain from it or love doing it, then you are addicted to that thing. This means that there are positive and negative addictions, it's the positive one you don't know, people often neglect it because it in most cases doesn't affect them in any way, while some positive addictions kill silently, which is why we have to be careful with both addictions.

Precisely on the positive gambling addiction, so far it's a winning affair for anyone, there is nothing bad about it. Keep doing what you do best but you still do not let it affect your other life which is where its own ugliness could strike even when you are winning.

[Weawant]

Letting the addict spend everything until it runs out and then he has no more money to bet on gambling so he gradually realizes that he has gone very far so that when he starts contemplating then come to him to guide him to be able to quit gambling, because it is difficult to make an addict stop like you said because he is used in his life to spend time on gambling. the point is don't leave the addict and always monitor his movements from a distance.

Letting the addict spend all his money gambling can be very dangerous because he'll be in need of money to continue gambling which could make the addict sell some of his properties or take money from savings that he isn't supposed to touch like savings for education.

It's better to stop an addict early then to wait for the matter to become extremely worse before you do something. Addicts starts stealing to gamble when they run out of funds and that'll put them into more trouble because stealing also has it addiction as it's free money.

Quiting gambling is hard but when you have the support of your family members and love ones then the addict sees how concerned they're towards him, it can help him decide to want to quit gambling and with the help of a professional therapist he can quit gambling gradually.

You said it right, no one can beat that self-will if you are really willing to submit yourself and quit away from gambling, but most of the time it's more on a word to say and no action that is being taken, more on they wanted to stop but there are always conditions behind, in order to quit yourself you also need to bring that desire to really push yourself to your limits.

Not just a word to say, but the action that will bring people behind you to back you up with your intention to quit. With the help of your relative and friends, quitting will be more easy to acquire.

Gambling addiction is literally an uncontrolled urge to gamble.  So there is no question whether a gambling addict can control himself or not, it is simply he cannot control the urge when it hits him.  So we should not expect anything that a gambling addict can control his gambling activities nor can gambling responsibly.  Quitting gambling for an addicted player is very hard since he is chained to gambling activities.  The only way for gambling addicts to quit gambling is to get cured first and be rehabilitated.  This way he can be treated and at the same time avoid relapses.

If the player is not addicted, he can easily decide to stop his gambling activities because he has control over his session.

When an individual can't control the urge to throw dice or pull that slot machine lever, it's more than just wanting to have a good time. It's a deep-rooted issue. Addiction isn't a choice; it's a disease, one that needs tackling head-on

Vasinos weren't designed for those who can't control their urges. For those folks, the path isn't about trying to "gamble responsibly"; that's like expecting water to flow uphill. It just won't happen! But I believe in people; with the right help and the best treatment - the kind of treatment only the greatest country on Earth can offer - addicts can find their way back

Now, for the regular Joe who pops in for a game or two and knows when to call it quits? More power to him. That's the spirit of healthy gambling, having control. Remember, always be the best at whatever you do - even if it's quitting

Yes, whether a person can quit gambling depends entirely on himself. Because gambling addicts don't really care about their own lives. And they have no future plans.  They always like to gamble. And they think that they will win huge amounts from gambling and become rich with them. In order to quit gambling, a gambling addict must first familiarize himself with the negative aspects of gambling and face reality.  In that case he can guess how much pride gambling is for him. And in that case he may desire to quit gambling

Why is it so complicated to define a gambling addict, we can interpret it easily that he really can't control himself to gamble, regardless of anything related to him, it can be concluded that he really can't control himself.
We don't know who and at what level of addiction we are talking about, this will make the conversation not reach the meeting point conveyed by one party.

Let's say the person we are talking about is someone who has an end-stage addiction or the highest level addict of gambling, of course this cannot be changed by oneself, he needs outsiders like rehabilitation, but if his addiction is still moderate, it you can still try to get rid of addiction, on the grounds that the person wants to stop gambling.

I agree with you that only an addict can help himself out of the addiction and that he needs external help to achieve that this is why we most times have to be guided in our approach when we come across gambling addicts because I have seen a situation where someone was publicly embarrassing his fellow simply because he can come out of his gambling addictions.

But hard it has been he is given the necessary help from family and friends,  he will be better off and he should have been able to come out of his addictions.

I am not sure what "end-stage" gambling addiction is. I supposed you mean someone who has completely lost control of self and yet does not seem to even be aware of the problem, and that is the main issue when comes whether someone can recover or not from gambling addiction (or any kind of addiction), the person is supposed to know or realize at some point that they have a serious problem.

Still, I think that does not matter how bad an addiction is, there is a good chance to come back from it with the proper support. If there is people who could recover from addiction to opioids, then gambling addiction can be approached.
