Low cost but effective solutions to gambling addiction

[Blitzboy]

Unfortunately, gamblers who are already addicted to gambling will not easily realize that they are addicted to gambling unless someone else tells them. They will continue to gamble as usual, or maybe they will gamble more often until they experience even bigger losses. Those who have people around them who are aware of changes in themselves and are willing to tell them that they have a gambling addiction are truly lucky and should be grateful. The people around them can start helping the gambler to get out of his gambling addiction and start stopping his gambling activities before it is really too late. And if they can stop gambling, it will be better for them because they can leave gambling for good.

Yeah.. it can be challenging for the people who are struggling with gambling addiction to recognize their own condition. Denial is a common defense mechanism that allows them to maintain a sense of normalcy and avoid confronting the negative consequences of their behavior. The presence of supportive people who can identify and address gambling behaviors is crucial in helping addicted people recognize and address their problem.

These people often provide a reality check, helping the gambler to see the impact of their actions and the need for change. The support of others can play a impactful role in helping gamblers break free from addiction. By providing encouragement and guidance, loved ones can empower the gambler to take the necessary steps towards recovery. With the support of others and a commitment to change, gamblers can reclaim their lives and build a healthier future.

Yes, recognizing gambling addiction is difficult and painful. Denial? The terrible realities of addiction are hidden in a dense fog. Whats key? Systems of support. Essential, not just beneficial. Think about it: a caring reality check can change everything. Like turning on a light in a gloomy room. But when done safely, entertaining gambling may be fun and thrilling. How? Promoting self-control and attentiveness. Consider a world where gambling is both fun and self-disciplined. This might make gambling part of a balanced existence. Lets remember the fun and excitement of responsible gambling while discussing addiction. Its about balancing risks and rewards.

How did this unemployed person got addicted to gambling in the first place?

Is it that hard to think of ways in which unemployed people become gamblers? Teenagers are usually unemployed and many are already gambling addicts. You don't need a stable income to be able to bet. A great example of this is bitcointalk with its campaigns. You can be unemployed and still get $200 a month from the forum. You can be a trader, you can be getting allowance from your parents, students get scholarships, I know a guy who gambled away some of his student loan...

The gambler who get addicted to the gambling sites should do the vacation for the short period,if he choose the budget friendly vacation it will be more important for the gambler at the time of loss in the gambling.

That would have to be a survival camp in the woods so that he has no Internet and no cell phone reception, otherwise he'll find a way to gamble.

I would think that many unemployed people turn to gambling as a way to make money, as they don't have it.

Not saying it's the best way to do it, but many do.

They will use some or all of their savings and try their luck at the casino, most of the time of course they simply end up losing it all.

That's right, unemployed people want to make money from gambling. Everyone thinks that gambling is the fastest way to make money without affecting any factors. If they commit theft, robbery is also a way to make money quickly, but if they take too much risk, the law will punish them. Making money from gambling will not be monitored by the law.
But they are wrong, and gambling is not a job for them to make money. They will increasingly burn all their savings on gambling, and gambling addiction will make them worse than when they are unemployed. The percentage of winners in gambling is tiny. Only lucky people get rewards in this game.

Yes, maybe a vacation can relieve the stress that disturbs the minds of gambling addict, but usually they can't just get away with the games they play in casinos. They continue to do these activities even though they are on vacation, unless they are on vacation to a place where there is no signal, they can definitely stop his gambling for a moment at least for some to relax and think healthily about the excessive gambling he did.

Gambling can indeed provide pleasure if we can use it wisely without expecting to win, so we won't experience gambling addiction and we can enjoying the types of games available in casinos without having to go on holiday to tourist attractions, if we can enjoying gambling it's like feel the sensation of pleasant entertainment in between times that make you tired.

It all matters with self control and mind control. If you do let yourself that always be thinking about with those casino games then you wont really be able to quit up gambling completely.
As long you do have that kind of thinking then there's no way that you could quit gambling and this is something that you should really be needing to control. You wont really be
needing any professional help or advises if you are really just that willingly to quit on it because if not then it would be pointless on whatever you do since you would really be
coming back again and again. Therefore, they key would really be that always vary or depend on how you would really gonna make yourself having that kind of motive
and seriousness on quitting which it wont be hard if you have that kind of intent.

With the support of others and a commitment to change, gamblers can reclaim their lives and build a healthier future.

That is why people who experience gambling addiction must be willing to try to be open to the presence of other people so that they can help to solve it or at least find a solution for them. Keeping things to yourself is not good for their health, especially if there are no changes for the better and it will only make things worse. By saying or telling it to other people, it can help them to reduce stress and frustration in their minds while looking for a solution. The people around him will also help him overcome the problem of gambling behavior and also help cure his gambling addiction.

Support from other people can provide encouragement for addicts so that they will see that they are not struggling alone but that there is their family or people around them who are also helping them undergo healing therapy. It can also give the person addicted to gambling confidence that he still has a place in his community and that those out there are still waiting for him to return. The recovery process may not take too long because of encouragement and help from people who care about him so that he can remain enthusiastic about undergoing therapy to cure his gambling addiction.

One of the solutions which is recommended by most gamblers on this forum for gambling addiction is "Therapy" . Professional help in the form of therapy. It is good and very effective but how many persons can actually afford it? There is a fee for each session that lasts for a duration of 60minutes. And there are more than one session. Therapy for gambling addiction is expensive. How can those who are unemployed afford it? How about the college student? Or the person receiving minimum wage. What are the other low cost but very effective solutions to gambling addiction. And typically how long will it take before the addict starts to feel more in control and less withdrawal symptoms?
Will totally appreciate your responses. Thanks.

The best therapy is your admitting of what and how you gamble , because no matter what people wanted to do helping you but first you need to help yourself .
this is what gambling addiction hard to beat because we don't know what is the source and that is admittance .
if only the said gambler are willing to be helped ? surely his family are enough to make it through the gambling addiction .

But that is a wrong thought, if gambling can make you rich quickly, it will definitely be done by everyone without exception, and as far as I know gambling also does not guarantee that it will provide a win that will make you rich, 99% of people who gamble find it difficult to win, and only 1% of people who manage to get a win that makes them rich. They can even do what you said like robbing or theft, to get money and return to gambling and that is also a dangerous impact of gambling addiction even though it is at great risk.
If they make gambling their main income it will only make them suffer more in the future, there will be dangerous problems that will harm themselves. as you said, they can even spend their savings that have been saved for a long time to gamble. and that is a bodh action, with the aim of doubling money by gambling that is not clear that it will give a big win, after all, if it is like that there will be no end until they realize for themselves that what they are doing is wrong.

Some people will not listen to there family that's why some people create a huge conflict with some of their family members since they don't want to get disturb on what they do since there opinion or like what matter the most. If we encounter this issue to one of our family member or even us then its time for the head of family to step up and put the affected person in rehab since this is the most effective solution to stop addiction. Any other cheaper advice will not really work since as long as gambling sites is easy to access for sure those people suffering from this will always find ways to gamble. We should endure the sad feeling for dropping such decision and we should think about that putting those guys on rehab is good for them since they will be a changed man once they have done with their rehabilitation process.

There are establishments offering this kind of treatment for the people who cant afford even in other countries they are offering this as free that's the service offered by the government but depends on the process it takes some countries a lot of paper to consider for the requirement to acquire this kind of free checkup and treatment, some country accepting even just a walk in well depends reason why its a good investment into a country if they are prioritizing focus into health so people know that their country really care with them. Currently, I know the good service related to health is the country of Canada currently my country does not focus in this state of concerns feels bad.

The best therapy is to keep yourself busy with work throughout the day. That would fix most of the gambling addiction. I used to gamble a lot, a lot. But now that I'm so drowned in work, I can't even get time to login to my gambling platform. Working all day can be very tiring. Another thing one could do to control their gambling addiction Spend more time with friends and family, go out, hang out with friends, go to movies, parks, or beaches. There are so many things to do. Don't you think? Who needs to go to therapy and spend money? I dont.

I agree with your advice, it is true and I have proven it myself, to be honest I am also one of the active gamblers who never missed gambling every day and do you know what I felt in that condition? To be honest, there was a lot of pressure in everything I experienced, starting from mental pressure and financial problems that kept arising, I'm not sure everyone can get through conditions like that, and when I tried the exact advice you said by keeping myself busy with other activities from there I began to realize that this was a good way because honestly when I have a lot of activities indirectly my mind becomes distracted, only a little I remember about gambling and over time I got used to it and finally now my interest in gambling has diminished.

Not only that, I'm sure there are still many simple but effective ways to help you get out of addiction, like you said by playing a lot with your friends in the neighborhood, that's also pretty good and I think it doesn't hurt for you to try some simple things like this but with a success rate that I think is quite high. So the point is it's actually quite easy to overcome this problem as long as you are willing and have a strong intention, there will definitely be a way out.

When we say "addict" we cannot control ourselves from doing something. And the side effects is that we are going to find ways to have funds either in good or bad  just to fullfil the urge to gamble. So the question is that, what is the most effective and low cost solutions to gambling addiction? Well, actually there are some but it is up on us on how we dealt with addiction. But IMO I am okay with movies, foodies, mobile games, talking with friends and family bonding. I don't know about you but that is how I resolve mine just having time to divert into different things other than gambling. 😁

Low cost solutions to gambling addictions???
The gambling addiction is not a low cost addiction, as people lose tons of money through addiction to gambling but how can we think that the cure to this addiction will be low cost ?

I think whatever you do in order to escape from gambling addiction, will have a cost and in some cases, you have to involve yourself in such activities where you have to spend much in order to get entertained and at the same time there is no chance of earning money. (By the way, Gambling addicts had an advantage that in a few cases the addicted person may earn a jackpot or a big win while having his gambling desires fulfilled)

Wining jackpots is a very rare cases. How many of you know won a jackpot?

Not just gambling addiction but all the addiction that are in the world is the worst. There are low cost solution, in my opinion. You just have to look for it. Keeping oneself busy can be low cost solution, spending time with your loved one can be low cost solution, hanging out with friends can be low cost solution, following religious belief can be low cost solution.

My point is anything that can help us distract our mind from gambling and focus on life can be considered low cost solution.

The easiest, simplest and free method to get rid of gambling addiction is to gain awareness and chat about this addiction with close friends or family. Yes, it is very difficult to get rid of gambling addiction but realizing that a person constantly loses money in gambling and that his/her psychology is negatively affected by this situation is a very serious factor in getting rid of this addiction. In addition, chatting with a close friend or family member about this addiction will be a free therapy and will help the gambling addicted individual gamble less and get rid of this addiction if the person chatting with isn't addicted to gambling.

On the other hand, if a gambling addict loses money in gambling, thinking about the activities he/she can do or the products and services he/she can buy with this money is a factor that can help reduce gambling addiction even though it is a small factor. The reason for this is due to the regret that occurs after individuals who are addicted to gambling postpone purchasing some of their needs in order to gamble more.

In summary, I think that if an individual addicted to gambling gains awareness, chats with close friends or family members about this addiction and thinks about what he/she can do with the money he/she loses in gambling, his/her gambling addiction will gradually decrease and after a certain period of time he/she will completely eliminate it.

Gambling addiction can lead you to bankruptcy and even commit crimes.
If you answer yes to all the questions, seek help.

1- can't you stop?
2- Do you have debts and large losses of money due to this?
3- Have you stopped buying any item that you deserve because of this?
4- Have you thought about selling things to satisfy this need?
5- Even in free time, do you still think about this?

tips:

Go for a walk, go to the gym, exercising helps you forget addictions.
Think about everything you would buy with the money you lose each year.
If it is money that motivates your addiction, donate a little to a charity, if you manage to do so you will be taking a giant step in your improvement, because it means that you stopped playing to help.

Avoid situations that cause you anxiety or stress.
Set a limit, if you lose it it means it's time to stop.
Talk to your family for advice.
