Possible measures to stop online gambling addiction.

[shasan]

And that is the problem with being connected all the time, now it is expected that every single person is not only the owner of a smartphone but that they know how to use it, trying to get by without a smartphone is very difficult now as your bank accounts, contacts or even your bitcoin wallets could be there.

And this is making overcoming addictions or compulsive behaviors even harder, as even if it was possible to live without a smartphone a decade ago this is not possible anymore, and if anything this tendency will only get worse during the next years.

You are right most all the person have a smartphone all of the people may use online gambling as they have a smartphone as well as the internet. Actually, it has increased since online gambling started. People started gambling over time passing but later they become addicted.

This is true, everyone are much connected and the same had given the access to gamble anywhere. This is also a reason why people are easily getting addicted. Today received the weeks payment and it got washed off in just three minutes. I was wagering with $0.01 and all of the sudden the notification on the payment came and thought why can't we wager with better amount. Started to go with high amount of 0.0001BTC and increased multipliers. It didn't last for longer time.

As time passes, we either gets addicted or refrain from gambling activities, the decisions is ours to make. Addiction keeps increasing in the space, we should have to be extremely careful and apply caution when necessary. Online gambling is accessible to everyone with smartphones and laptops, but we should learn how to control oneself from gambling, because that alone can drained us step by step. Gambling from the comfort of your home is one of the easiest ways to quickly get addicted to gambling, it's simple to start but very difficult to stop when one have actually find out that he or she falls in the addiction sector of gambling.

In as much as one should have budget for gambling it is also advisable that one should also take extra precautionary measures to keep off addiction too. Although you are right when it comes to self discipline in restricting ones excesses.

Do you not think disabling gambling sites on ones browser settings could be of help also?

Disable gambling sites in browser settings in my opinion can be one of the many efforts to get the possibility of avoiding online gambling if deciding from the internet cannot be done.

The budget arrangement specifically for gambling delivered by Oshosondy is one of the efforts to decide addicted slowly.
Players who have been playing gambling for a long time in the category of addictive, is unlikely to be able to stop gambling. If possible, that's the most difficult job and requires a long time.

By cutting off the internet network for online gambling, in my opinion, this is also a good step, but if it is not balanced with our own wishes, then we will not be able to do this, because basically playing online gambling is because we are curious. to see friends around us. We. who is playing on his cell phone. maybe with that habit that makes someone curious and want to try it. Or by moving cell phones that don't have an internet network, for example, but return according to each other's wishes to make sure we stop playing online gambling and think that this will prevent us from difficulties or risks in the future.

This should not be the main reason a person can become addicted to gambling and when a person can really be responsible for every action or goal in gambling, it is clear that no matter how comfortable one is, it will not influence a person to become a gambling addict.
Of the many people who are still able to commit to the initial goal of gambling to have fun so they don't get addicted, only a few are able to always put forward the commitments that have been made, like you gamble only with small bets when in fact you use weekly payments to bet larger amounts large and don't last long the whole balance will just disappear and in the end you will feel like getting the money back.
If you can be responsible and committed in gambling, then you only use part of it and then leave, let the rest be stored in the bankroll to be used another day if you want to gamble again.

Self-desire influences our behaviour towards gambling and how we can overcome addiction. But someone who has started to feel addicted to gambling must really have a strong determination to overcome his addiction so that he still has the opportunity to stop his gambling activities. Deactivating gambling sites in the browser on a phone or computer can also help the person but they should note that as long as the addiction persists, they may try to find other ways to visit casino sites. In this case, self-discipline is needed so that no attraction can make the person return to the casino site at any cost so that he can completely reduce or even eliminate the urge to gamble.

This is a big challenge that is not easy for anyone who has ever felt how bitter it is to lose and how happy it is to win in a gambling game. Disconnecting the internet network will also not be optimal as a solution for a possibility to stop gambling while still interacting with the surrounding environment because everyone has a smartphone.
Deciding the internet network for the player's personal will likely work if he isolates himself in a remote area without internet access for some time, when thoughts of gambling are completely lost.

Maybe by isolating oneself in a remote place, I think it will be difficult if it is not balanced with strong beliefs and very strong self-awareness, because now the Internet has begun to enter and develop even in even the smallest places. remote villages. So it can be concluded that someone who is already addicted to gambling in my opinion is very difficult to stop if the person really wants to stop or before he gambled he had such a big problem that he could no longer gamble.

That was the conclusion of both of us and not necessarily agreed upon by other friends who had been in that position as a gambling player who was classified as a heavy opiate but managed to stop and get out of the gambling addiction status.
I agree that it is possible to stop or get out of gambling addiction if there is a strong desire to do so. If you still can't, the risk is that you have to accept the fate that keeps getting worse. Automatically this type of gambler is ready as he started when he first played.

If someone wants to quit gambling, it has to be their own choice. If they don't possess the will to stop, others can't do it for them. There are rehabilitation centers that help people to quite addictions. But in order to show up there, it has to be their own choice. I have seen many people put into rehabilitation centers against their will. They were able to quit their addiction, but after some times, they were back to the same thing again. But those who have gone there on their personal choice, they were the ones who were successful in doing so.

I couldn't agree more. We can easily say that in order to quit gambling addiction we can find distractions like finding new hobbies, or seeking for professional help and such. But if we don't have the willingness to do so, then these things won't matter at all. At the end of the day, if you don't have the drive to do it then you will be having a hard time to stop gambling addiction, because no one will do it for you but yourself. It is only yourself that you can rely on because we are the one who are responsible for making decisions for ourselves.

It's a difficult decision to take, we can only understand if we are in their shoes but since we are just speculators, we won't understand what a person might be going through. Gamblers, even when they realize that gambling isn't good for them and is harming them both mentally and financially, they still find it difficult to just step away from it because they have been involved for a very long time and we all know it is not easy to get away from something that you've been doing for years.

So, bringing that drive in yourself to just accept the fact that it is a bad thing and you need to stay away from it is a big challenge. Some people manage to do it and they get out of the addiction eventually, but a lot of people fail in that stage and they never get out of it.

[Comingdown]

Yes, blocking adds and gambling sites can help, but I think it's too easy to open it again if you want to play again, right? Yes, it can help, but it's still not that strong, especially if you can't control yourself.
I know that it is not that easy to stop or quit gambling, especially if you have been playing it for several years.
But if you think your gambling is having a bad effect on you or your family, I think you need to find a new hobby. You can do that as long as you have a strong desire to stop it and you can control yourself. Besides, you are not alone, your family and friends are there to help and guide you. just believe in yourself that you can do it.

gambling addiction is bad enough if it costs a lot of money and even some people who do it dare to sell their homes or personal motorbikes. I consider gambling to be a game, it cannot really be a benchmark for earning or even wanting to get rich quick here. no one always wins here, try to think when playing gambling if it's free money, I think everyone wants to try it, but losing real assets is really not good.

Addiction is the most severe negative attributes of a gambler, more like entering the key stages and witnessing hugh losses, which can not be recoverable. Gambling is never a stream for generating income, we should probably look for way out in any mess we have found ourselves. We know exactly where our problems originates from, we also know the possible solutions to stop gambling but most of the gamblers are not ready to go down that road. They keep making excuses and their incompetent measures to quit online gambling, I've been in that shoes once, and trust me when I say, I know that feelings.

Yes, this is why its not really that totally sensible if you are really that making or drawing out conclusions that some people are irresponsible or simply that dumb just not to make themselves quit without even trying out to

picture yourself that what if you are in his shoes? For sure you cant really be able to apply those things that you do have in mind or something in related with those common advises and recommendations in fighting addiction.It might be that impossible for someone not to be able to be wary about their actions but there are really moments on which you cant really be able to make yourself get in control with your emotions.
This would really be mainly your opponent or problem on the time that emotions would kicking in. Addiction with gambling is never been that a simple thing to get rid off with.

This is why its always be that recommendable that you should gamble with care and be responsible on spending on the amount on which you can afford to lose. Dont go into a certain extent on which you would really be that having that impulsive spending just because your emotions had been messed up.

[Casdinyard]

Actually they could. We have straight jackets for that lol.

This cracked me up for real. LOL. Yes that's one way to do it.

I'm not against relying on other people for gambling addiction assistance especially when you really need it, cause one thing that I find to be the common denominator among gambling addicts is that they are mostly lonely and alone people, so socialization could definitely help.

Yeah, I definitely agree with this. Those who are lonely, always try to find ways to keep themselves busy or entertained in some way. They may start gambling for entertainment purposes. But as they move forward with it, they get addicted quickly. As humans, we are always dependent on others. Whether it is about life or survival. We are always seeking some sort of help from others. Having people around us in times of bad situations will always help us. But we need to keep only those who are good. Not the bad ones. And in the end, even with their help, we can't achieve anything unless we have a strong will for it.

Yeah nah I would say to only let the ones you trust the most know that you're gambling. Not those who aren't on your side. It could backfire horribly if you do so and you might even end up becoming the butt of the joke eventually. So might as well just let the ones you know and care about the most in on what you're doing, so they can intervene when things go south. The common misconception about this is that people think "asking for help" is equal to "surrendering autonomy and depending on other people for assistance" which can't be any farther from the truth. You could always ask for help without being a needy person, that's called having friends lol. If you're too shy or too prideful to ask for help, you have a problem.

Internet has improved the way we live and the creation of many of the social media apps is making people to keep doing what they like doing and even going to the extreme way. Teenagers and children are now searching for different things on the internet which parents might not even have access to. Technology have been making gambling to come close to our door steps without having to go to a physical casinos or a bet shop for us to make our bets. Stopping addiction it all depends on the the person and how they intend to stop it.

It is true that it is undeniable that actually technological progress in this case is the internet can be a double-edged sword for everyone. It can have a positive and beneficial influence on us but it can also have a very negative influence on us.
In my opinion, a gambler who has experienced gambling addiction problems is already at a difficult level for himself to be aware and stop his gambling activities.
Someone who is addicted to online or offline gambling activites if they want to overcome this problem the main factor is from themselves namely having the intention to stop and fight their gambling desires. But it will not be easy if they do not get help and attention from those closest to them to help take various preventive measures.

Indeed, smartphones make it easy for people to be able to access various games at casinos without the need to be tired of going to places, but that also has the negative impact which increases the potential for people's addiction to gambling because it is so easy to be able to access games and they cannot control their time where it makes them addicted and forget about their priorities.

I don't understand how disabling gambling websites from browser settings can actually stop gambling addiction when you are literally the one who does it and you can obviously undo it anytime you want. It might work if the addict is someone else and you manage to disable all the gambling sites from their device and they might not be able to find out what's wrong, but still, I believe they will find a way to reach the sites, maybe reinstall the browser or something.

So, I absolutely don't find this to be a viable solution for controlling gambling addiction because it is a flawed method and it can be undone very easily by anyone that understands how to uninstall and reinstall a browser in a device or simply just reset it if it's a mobile browser which makes it even easier.
