Low cost but effective solutions to gambling addiction

[wxa7115]

Society shuns gambling losses, yet they must be acknowledged. Gamblers who acknowledge defeat seek advice because it's a major loss. This disclosure deserves understanding and advice, not mockery. Why? Because acknowledging a problem is the first step to fixing it. Gamblers seek losses because they think a large victory is coming. But this loop deepens the financial abyss.

Addiction is a major issue. Gamblers lose sight of time and money constraints. Gambling over their means causes financial and mental stress. New gamblers must be warned of these hazards. Prevention of excessive gambling and addiction requires awareness. We must encourage safe gaming and help those in need. Not just financial health, but total well-being.

The message is out there for those that want to listen, as you can find all kind of warnings against excessive gambling all over the internet, however those warnings are often ignored by gamblers of all ages as they believe this could not possibly happen to them.

But that is a mistake, an addiction can happen to anyone at any time and we must be prepared to prevent it, since overcoming an addiction is way harder than avoiding for the addiction to take place on the first place.

True. Addictions are everywhere, and it's quite simple to get started.

One beer, one bet, etc.

Then you come back, ahh, let's get another beer, maybe two this time. Same for betting.

Then you lost all your money, you go back to the ATM to "recover" your money. Same with alcohol, you feel hangover, you drink a beer to feel better....

It's a never ending cycle that keeps you down. You need to be in control or you will quickly be very addicted

Taking it lightly and ignoring some of the horrible possibilities that basically it is a very possible thing, right they believe that they are unlikely to become one of the addicted people when it all happens slowly and often we find that lately more gamblers are addicted without realizing it, or that means they just keep playing without caring about some things that should be considered so that they are unconsciously carried away and trapped in a cycle of winning addiction and losing curiosity.

Therefore I hope you or they can be more respectful of some advice or warnings given by others including some of your close friends, because after all they suggest something better for you, and also because of course as you said and I mentioned above that addiction can come at any time and usually unconsciously, and they will only realize all of that when they have really lost a significant amount. So prevention is better than cure.

Yes, trying to "win your losses back" is a common behavior in gamblers that most of the time ends up digging a bigger hole...

Hopefully they learn this lesson with a few bucks earlier on, instead of later in life when they have more funds to dig a bigger hole.

In reality you can't really recover your losses. They are gone.

If a person is addicted to any activity then no matter how much he got guidance from other he will never recognise about the negative and positive characteristics of that cravings because addiction is intoxication. The form of unpleasant activities in which a person get addicted is beering and gambling because beering can effect the nervous system of a person which when does not find anywhere then a person cannot control his emotions but in the case of gambling a person in a Desire to get more profit therefore he is putting a bet without knowing about its accuracy.

 I just think that people will craving for gambling have zero balance in Bank, zero balance in pocket and will also facing a burdens  of burrowed money. I astonished that if people cannot tolerate all these things then why they are participating regularly in gambling and other bad activities everyone has gifted with active mind so use your mind in order to avoid unwelcome position like Gambling.

The reason why most addicted gamblers, and other addictions, continue to gamble is simply because it "feels good".

The brain evolved to try to seek more behaviors that produce this result, and less of the ones that do the opposite.

The thing is that if you don't really think about your actions and simply react, you will most probably end up with behaviors that produce a positive short term goal with negative long term consequences.

It's only when you do behaviors that are not as good in the short term that you will end up with a better future. But this is not obvious because it doesn't feel good to do those.

For example, exercise. It feels bad to do it in the beginning, but in the future you are better.

Investing, it feels like you are wasting money now, but in the future you will probably have more money, etc.

Basically it's a sacrifice in the present for a possibly better future.

Addicts end up with a bad future for a good, short lived present.

But are there many gamblers who do?
Of course not and I sure you also understand that not many gamblers really admit their losses and the problems they are facing as result of gambling and ask for advice or suggestions from other people.
There are only very few gamblers who do this and most gamblers are closed and feel the pressure of every problem that occurs, one of which is big losses or addiction, this is the reality and also the attitude of all existing gamblers.
Maybe there are still some who have awareness and are trying to solve everything by telling stories and asking for help from other people.

It is true that when there is one, it must be handled well, not ridiculed or considered bad because they are aware that they are trying to be better.
It just that in social life there will definitely be lot of bad responses from various levels of society and this is why many gamblers keep a tight lid on every activity and problem that occurs in gambling.
Moreover, finding trusted people who can really help us get out of gambling problems is also not easy because the fear is that these people will tell other people what we are experiencing and in the end, bad views and conversations will always be present.

Of course, warnings and advice are always given to those who start gambling, especially to people around us or in this forum.
But if they don't want to listen and have already entered the gambling circle as you said earlier then what can be done?
Nothing can stop them except their own consciousness.
It is difficult to understand and try to stop other people in their gambling activities.

Trying to recover our losses is not a good idea because it is the same as increasing the amount of losses we have already incurred. We can experience even more losses considering we will use more money than before. And if we don't have good self-control, we will only lose and lose the money so we won't be able to win. The easiest way to overcome more losses is to stop gambling immediately. It doesn't require any money, so we can also prevent other losses that we can get from continuing to gamble. Fighting gambling addiction is not easy and you must have strong determination and desire, especially if we still visit online casinos that we can use to gamble. It will not make us reduce our gambling activities because that determination and desire will disappear along with the money we deposit. So we have to be really careful in how we treat gambling and don't gamble excessively.

I am forced to ask, which is more expensive, being addicted or seeing a therapist? Addiction is a very expensive lifestyle,  you don't just lose money, you'll lose friends,  family, your social life, in most cases your job and many others even lose their lives all because of addiction. You see how expensive addiction can be? So if one really needs a solution, seeking the help of professionals (therapists) should not be something one will negotiate with,  especially if you compare it to what you will lose if you do not get the right help you need. Cutting corners just to minimise cost doesn't prove effective all the time.

Family and friends who truly care about your general wellbeing can actually give you all the support you need to heal and be your normal self again.  If addiction really bothers you,  deal with it with everything you've got and you'll be happy at the end that you are free.

Well, I don't subscribe to the way that some gamblers will just be gambling without having plans, which could only be responsible for them gambling excessively, losing and trying to recover the losses. This is common in my experience with gamblers I know, and in the end, they lose their money, but it is at least most of them, not all. And for the fact that it is most of them that are losing money due to that careless act, is why I conclude that your last advice is confusing. For you to lose money in gambling doesn't mean you can't gain it back in the same act and I have done these times without numbers. It depends on the gambler, the emotions of gambling and the kind of game the person is gambling on. If it is in sportsbooks, I just breathe in and out when I lose and wait for the other time when the right available means presents itself to strike even harder. But for casinos, you will have to rely on your fate on that fateful day, but it is not always fine for most. In all, we should not act under emotion, and even before we get into the casino's house or our gambling platform, we should know what we are there for and how we will play until we opt out without any compromisation.

Maybe for those who listen to advice from other people about the dangers of gambling which will cause addiction, this could be a solution for gamblers to avoid addiction, but if they ignore it and continue to chase their winnings and do not listen to this advice, it is likely that they will get worse in their gambling activities. Giving advice to gambling addicts is not easy if they do not have the intention to stop avoiding losses because their minds have been completely controlled by gambling so the only solution is for themselves who can accept advice from other people and make good solutions to avoid gambling addiction.

Yes, addiction is a mistake, if they can prevent them from becoming addicted in the first place, perhaps they will not experience bad luck due to the addiction they suffer from, and yes, if they are already addicted then it will be difficult to overcome therefore we must be able to use gambling wisely entertainment purposes but not excessive.

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.

They say prevention is better than cure so I guess the best low cost or zero cost solution to gambling addiction is the conscious prevention of oneself from falling into gambling addiction. It doesn't take much all it does take is self discipline, being in charge of your gambling habits and with a good money management.

However, for such a person that has already falling into the addiction and intentionally wants to kill it talking to people about it and engaging them into discussion about possible suggestions on how you can be able to deal with the addiction and this suggestions you make sure it's coming from people with a real life experience of gambling addiction. Then ones in a while the addict can also seek the service of a professional therapist too. In this way you can cut cost while achieving a lot.

That is it, they are already addicted as the thing they love doing unchecked has already grown into an addiction. It is left for them to fight this addiction, but it is not going to be easy. I so much buy in your idea as this addiction of a thing has a degree, it comes in stages, and if the person has crossed the red line, it is just like the mad people, they will not know what they are doing again. Beat them, scold them, imprison them or whatever you like to do, you will see that it will not work because their mind is already imprisoned by it. Any available money they see must be gambled and this will happen until they set their account balance to zero all the time, that is only when their eyes will clear.

But it doesn't end there, that is when some will start looking for places to borrow money, while some might beg like those who are collecting alms just for the purpose of betting. Is this not madness? However, if it has gotten to this stage, then the person is dire need of help. This is not just ordinary help, it is the help that requires prayers for deliverance and also seeing a therapist, psychiatrist and psychologist as the case may be. This is why we shouldn't even let this happen in the first place. Avoiding it is only possible if we are conscious of our betting habits and never believe that we can make our life fortunes through it. And we should try as much as possible to be deafened towards what we hear online about gambling success and others, they might be a trap in disguise since most of them are made up, they are not just real.

In all, we should not act under emotion, and even before we get into the casino's house or our gambling platform, we should know what we are there for and how we will play until we opt out without any compromisation.

I have always said something that can be very real, when we enter a casino the casino assumes and knows that one is of age, and being of age is not just turning years old on the day you turned 18, and that's it, no. , that implies many things, first of all age is the number, but this implies that no longer a child, or adolescent, there are certain things that have already matured and are supposed to be very mature and that the difference can occur at any given time that things when it comes to earning money or making money are delicate, therefore when we are doing all kinds of things like gambling, it is necessary if we have a risk management plan to spend all the money we have cannot and should not be get away, because we would be being irresponsible, and the caisno assumes that one as an adult is responsible, that we are responsible for our actions.

In this order of things, when you Try to do things a little better , you have to take them to the level of the possible, that is, the moment you fall into addiction for any reason , it is our Fault , we Immediately You must Recognize that we can control ourselves and if we reach that stage of being addicted, the other thing that must be done is to quickly seek treatment, or go to the psychologist or something, but we have to act quickly, otherwise we do not have the Financial resources, Look for the closest alternative that often works, calming down the Anxiety and desire to go, perhaps by doing a lot of sport, so that when the body gets tired the mind rests, and like any person who does sport, they always carry their dose of tiredness. It's good to do things like this so you can forget about the game, it's a healthy way to do it without Compromising anything, you can go jogging, go to the gym, something like that, for the moment you get home and feel like Playing , be so Tired that you can only Sleep, that's what you should do.

If more gamblers realized that they needed to prevent themselves from falling into gambling addiction, many problems in gambling could be solved, and the number of people who are addicted to gambling could increase. But the problem is that these people don't want to realize what will happen to them if they become addicted to gambling. They only think about making money quickly without thinking about what the risks are for them. There is no self-control, boundaries, or self-discipline in gambling, so they only make themselves fall into gambling and become deeper into their gambling addiction. This needs to be addressed immediately, and people who are addicted to gambling must be willing to admit that they are addicted to gambling and need help to cure their gambling addiction.

They need help from other parties, and if there are family members who know that they are addicted to gambling, family members can start helping them by taking them to experts. They must accompany people who are addicted to gambling so that people do not feel alone in fighting to cure their gambling addiction. He will see that there are members of his family who are also fighting with him, so this will encourage him to be able to persist through the therapy process.

If it was easy on the first place then we would see that gambling business or venture or industry wont really be that profitable or wont really be able to boom out but we are seeing the different side of things on which it would really be just that right that you should really be that responsible on the actions that you are making. You cant really just that make yourself that too careless when it comes to spending because it would really be that ended on devastation and addiction would really be coming into that severe manner.Once you do make yourself get shackled with gambling addiction
then it would really be that hard for you to get out or would be able to quit upon. This is why you should really be that careful and sensible on the things that you are dealing with.

And you are right in saying that we have to be really careful and wise about things related to gambling because, after all, gambling can easily make us tempted. Many people have fallen into gambling because they do not have good self-control, so they become addicted to gambling after playing gambling for a while. To anticipate gambling addiction, they must be able to have substitute activities for gambling so that they don't always think about gambling and only keep themselves busy with other activities. They know that keeping themselves busy with other activities can make them forget about gambling every day so that they are not dependent on gambling for entertainment.

This society is placing the premise of technology and gadgets at the forefront, and when people can achieve everything with just a phone and computer, communication becomes bland, being attentive to most applications is our schedule every day and apps that take advertising dollars from gambling brands and serve them for virality and visibility. True entertainment activities have really shrunk too much, those who stand outside the boundaries of gambling should keep themselves, entering is just like those who have lost their way, no longer able to listen to the meaning outside

There's nothing that's hard if you put in your mind to do it you will always find an attainable way out. If you are intentional and conscious about it then hard is just a word.

The increment in gambling addiction doesn't count for increased boom in the gambling business, people can all play the gambling responsibly and we will still have the gambling industry booming. You should rather be worried if there's an increase in gambling addiction in society for it can lead to a protest from concern citizens to ban or reduce the number of gambling hubs/sites across the society to help reduce the addiction level and that will be bad for the gambling business as an industry.
