Possible measures to stop online gambling addiction.

Motivation to change is key. Gamblers miss their chance to recover without it. Its essential and the start. If desire is there but strategy is not, what happens? The'how' can be a tough mountain to climb even with the best intention to quit.

This is my opinion: a comprehensive, achievable plan to distract from gambling is needed. That desire you mention? Consistent and accessible planning fuels it. New hobbies, diversions, and professional treatment are available to gamblers. Encourage them to study, engage, and progress despite the distance. Yes, its worth it, and a strong plan clarifies and simplifies the stages.

For this reason, someone who wants to change must be able to create a new habit to replace their old habit. And with strong encouragement and intention, they can do it and have new habits that have nothing to do with gambling. It may take time for them to have a new hobby, but it is worth a try to cure their gambling addiction. And without doing anything or just dreaming about a new habit will not give them any results because they can get deeper into gambling and find it difficult to cure their gambling addiction.

What is difficult is making the first step and continuing it every day. But if they have succeeded in doing it on the second day and so on until the seventh or tenth day, they will not feel difficult but will be even more interested in doing it because it has tremendously impacted their recovery.

Making a new plan or creating new habits is indeed effective in helping encourage someone who is experiencing a gambling addiction problem to stay away from their gambling activities.
But keep in mind that everyone has a different personality, there are some people who find it easy to build a strong intention and drive from themselves to fight their addiction problem, but there are also some people who cannot build the intention and drive to fight their addiction problem.

In my opinion, creating or building new habits to overcome addiction problems must also have support from the people closest to an addict to help build the intention and drive to fight against the addiction problem.
If there is no one to provide support and control to the addict, the addiction problem will certainly arise again if the addict does not have strong intentions and encouragement from himself and those closest to him.

The thing is that,  gambling have and most be done within a planned period and location to avoid it interference with family life and other social responsibilities,  although as a none addict,  it quite easy for you to understand what the level of risk of you gambling activirtley every day,  but still on still I am still of the opinion to come in,  all way out and avoid addictions by be more.

The gambler who do gambling without the interference of the family,such gambler may win the game.But the fact is the gambler family will get doubt in the gambler action and ask the gambler to know the exact reason for the isolation.Instead the gambler can stay with the family and gamble without the knowledge of their family.So the gambler family won’t get any doubt in the gambler regular activities.Seperation for the gambling from their family is not the good idea and easily doubt by the gamblers wife.

If there is a restriction set on my device so that I can not be able to access the internet or it will block any link that appear to look like gambling site, that might help me in stopping me from gambling in online casino, but what will happen with the ones which have shops close to my door step, will I also have to restrict myself from going out so that I can’t come across those shops and get tempted to gamble my money in them? All my relatives will have to be following me everywhere that I’m going in other for them to talk me out of gambling.

Stopping gambling or reducing the habit is just something which I see as what is done base on individual decision most of this tips might help a gambler strengthen his decision to minimize his/her gambling habit but anyone who have not decided within him self that they are going to stop gambling I don’t think anyone can be able to use any means to make them stop it, gambling addicts took them self into that and it’s only them their self that can advice their self to limit their gambling activities.

Then the question is how many devices do you own and does it really make sense to cut off the Internet of one of your devices? Nobody in the world would cut himself off entirely from the Internet with all devices in order to ensure that gambling is no more possible. That would also mean you cut yourself off from all other important functions that you may need the Internet for. There is no way this works and if it has come so far that you really pull the plug from your devices, you would also be willing to go anywhere else to still get a chance to gamble. You are saying something like shooting someone to the moon with a rocket where no casinos are. It's unrealistic.

Online or offline, the best measure is to always know your limit. If you do end up getting addicted, the first thing you should do is acknowledge that you have gambling issues and addicted to it. Once you realize and admit it, it becomes easier to get help. You need to talk to people that are close to you and care for you. And then you need to get professional help. The only possible measure to stop online gambling addiction is to be aware of the negative effects it might have in your life. You shouldn't be lingering around gambling sites for long. If you feel like those advertisements or promotions that pop up when surfing the internet makes you want to gamble, then use some sort of adblockers to get rid of those advertisements.

The problem is that not all gamblers can admit their mistakes and realize their actions. If they are already at the "gambling addiction" stage, they will only realize that when they have accumulated debts and cannot pay them back, they will automatically lose their possessions and valuable assets to be able to repay their loans, from here they can only realize that gambling is causing them a lot of problem. If they can't control themselves and can't create boundaries until they experience this addiction, they will be forced to stop because they don't have enough money to gamble anymore.

Indeed, everyone has a different personality, and if they want to create new habits, each person will use different methods too. So it will depend on how someone can start building new habits. If he really intends to overcome his gambling addiction problem, he will find what is suitable for him and continue to do it slowly to reduce his gambling addiction. There must be a strong encouragement from within him so that he can continue to carry out his new habit until he gets used to it and can control his mind not to think about gambling.

That is why if people around him are willing to help this gambling addict start a new habit, it will not feel heavy or difficult for the gambling addict. He can start enjoying his new habits with the people closest to him who continue to provide support and encouragement so that he can overcome his gambling addiction. And when he felt helpless because of his gambling addiction, these people would come and embrace him and say he could continue what he had started.

That true but not only people who are involved in gambling addiction but those who gamble passively will also never want to admit the mistake of entering gambling because the main problem in gambling is that when they initially decided to gamble it was already possible call it mistake and gambling addiction also starts from here.

Regret, usually can be felt and have an impact on positive mindset when someone has experienced something bad or lost something valuable but some people don't care about this because they will continue to accumulate debt to pursue what they want until the end In the end.
Most gamblers cannot realize all this sooner because they still have some money and whatever they lose they still have reserves that can be used at any time if needed.

Sometimes person needs to experience really bad experience to the point of despair in order to stop and think about better things for more decent life in the future.

Literally, I don't know what to say because I am not a gambling addict and I haven't any clue how to stop this addiction. But still, I can suggest some advice; you can take it if it's beneficial. It's an addiction like any other addiction that can't be controlled within a day, week, or month. Many people say that it all depends on your willpower, but I suggest that you don't have to struggle alone; you can ask for help from others. Controlling ourselves is not always helpful. And the government should take some steps to control unnecessary and fraudulent gambling ads.

If you are willing and ready to admit whatever class of addiction you have, then it will be easier to find the way on how to solve your concern, most of the time admitting that you are already engage that deep and already into addiction is something that a gambler always deny, that mindset will prevent you to accept any advice or any possible help.

But, if you are willing to accept the truth and willing to help yourself, solving this addiction is always possible to fix, though it's tough but doable with your self-will nothing is impossible.

Everyone is unique. Trying to break a bad habit like gambling is no different. Strokes for different people, right? If someone is truly determined to breaking gambling's chains, they'll discover their own way. Can they do it alone? Maybe, no.

A support system of caring, understanding people can make all the difference. Having a safety net during tightrope walking. If you fall, they'll catch you, remind you of your goals, and tell you you can and will get back on track. Can't it be easier to overcome obstacles when you're not alone? Be positive, get support, and take it one step at a time if you're battling with gambling. Be a light and inspiration for others. Friends and family are for that, right?

Gambling addiction is very difficult to get rid of, even though it has several times suffered enormous losses. If we have capital to deposit, then this hand cannot remain silent to login to the site and make a deposit to have fun gambling. I realized that this kind of thing needs to be stopped completely, and I started reading this thread, and there are some pretty good suggestions to be able to stop this game and maybe have a good impact on it in the future.
Maybe I'll implement some of the suggestions that have been given in this thread.

The bad nature of gambling addicts has a bad and very detrimental impact, they can't think logically and don't think about what risks they will bear if they continue to chase losses, of course their family will of course bear all of that and what worse is that they can't realize it about his mistake.

I am very concerned about people's who are addicted to gambling. In fact, they also don't want to experience continuous losses, its just thats they are controlled by emotional because they have lost many times and cannot return their money of course they will continue to chase their losses until they really run out of money and hope in this case they must realize that if they get too involved in gambling they will lose everything.

If they are truly devastated by the situation of having no family to accompany them, of course this will make them realize a little thats being addicted to gambling is so bad thats they will decide stop gambling even though it is difficult, they have to try to be able continue living a better life in the future without involving gambling anymore in his life.

Gambling is very uncomfortable if there are people who interfere with the gambling we do and if there are family members who feel disturbed by our gambling activities then it would be better for us to avoid gambling in front of them. In my opinion, in stopping gambling addiction, we can look for activities that we can do so that we don't have the desire to gamble and we have to do it consistently so that we can eliminate the desire to gamble.

Responsibility in meeting the needs of the family is very important and if one of the family is addicted to gambling, the family will definitely be shaken or get into a lot of problems, and we need to anticipate this when gambling, we must always be careful. and stay under control.
Every individual is aware of the risks in gambling, it depends on the person himself whether he can be consistent in managing his money or not, if someone has difficulty carrying out activities and has difficulty thinking well so as not to become an addict. there's no way he'll just stop, it'll just get worse. brutal in carrying out his gambling. Like you said, they think that he still wants to get in and out of gambling, I think it's still doubtful that he's not sure about stopping.

People who are not yet involved in gambling may be able to break the gambling chain more easily than people who have been gambling for too long because they can replace their gambling activities by doing other things to divert their attention. But those who have been gambling for too long, especially those without self-control, need help from other people so they can really divert their attention to gambling. But it all takes time and will not be done overnight, so people who want to reduce or even stop their gambling activities must strongly desire to stop gambling.

And those who want to stop gambling can ask for help from the people around them, especially their family because support from the people closest to them can have a good influence on them being able to stop their gambling activities. And with a strong desire, support from the people around him, and undergoing a healing process that will allow him to cure his gambling addiction.

As you may have observed, when one family member is really into gambling, the whole family suffers. A single person sinking means the ship is taking on water.

Discussing control now. It goes beyond "Can I stop when I want to?" Much deeper. Can they tell when enough is enough? Do they realize their actions hurt loved ones? They and the community must watch out and speak up.

Some people dont realize they're in trouble until its too late. They keep going in and out, unsure of stopping, as you noted. Is it willpower alone? Is there a deeper issue we're missing?

Yes, that's right, and the family will experience big problems in their lives, such as lots of debt, divorce, and children being left alone because of lack of attention from their parents.
Someone will stop gambling when they have experienced destruction in their life as I said above, and they will reflect on their fate after they realize that they made a big mistake and caused the people around them to also suffer the impact.
Yes, someone who is still in and out of gambling, I don't think he has experienced anything bad, so he will do it continuously until he wakes up, and this is still a mystery that should not be missed because each individual has their own. confidence in determining what is good. in his life.

The gambling addiction mostly affect your family like the divorce because of the financial problem in the family due the gambling.The gambling addicted person will not contribute the family in the financial way.So it may be the biggest reason for the divorce after the gambling addiction.The gambling addiction also increase the time use by the gambler in the gambling site compared to their family.So the wife of the gambler will choose the person who spend huge time on her then the game.This was root cause of the gambler and it should be avoided.

Although I believe that "the best advice is the one which someone gives to himself," one needs to make the decision first before they can listen to advice, but still, I also have to give it a rethink after reading your comment. The family and people around someone's life can really play an important role in how the person can deal with their gambling habit, especially if the person is from a family where they listen to each other and take one another's advice.
 
Family support can help reduce one's engagement in his gambling activities, not where they are going to bully the person, insult or call him by his manner of name, but they can be advising the person and gradually trying to talk him out of it, making provision for some kind of fun games that he can partake in in the house, just making the person feel like they are not bored moments so that they can at least reduce the free time they have and times they spend alone in order for them to reduce the time they could have spent on a gambling platform.

In theory losing everything that they have ever held dear should be more than enough to help a person to wake up from their stupor and make a serious attempt to leave their gambling addiction behind.

But things are not always so straightforward,  someone that has lost everything to an addiction may think that there is no point at all to remain clean, as the life they had is no longer waiting for them, and in that case they may as well just keep going, even if they eventually lose whatever they have left at the time.
