Low cost but effective solutions to gambling addiction

Getting addicted is not "always" bad, if you can get addicted to something good. I had a friend in my friend group that we all joked how he was addicted to gym, he felt horrible if he didn't went to the gym even for just a single day and he kept doing stuff at home before bed just in case, like he has to work out every single day.

That is actually good for your body to a point, obviously even that would be very bad for you if you do not know what you are doing, but if you are just doing enough, nothing insane like lifting 200kg or something like those body builders do, then a decent level of fitness should keep you healthy instead. So if you want to replace one addiction with another, you can find less harmful one, or even a helpful one.

Being addicted to something good certainly won't become bad. But the problem is that many people are addicted to something that is not good, so that it harms them and their lives. It was a good decision to go to the gym for his health, and if he doesn't go to the gym, it's like something is missing from his life. That means he is addicted to sports, and by going to the gym, he can get a good body, and his health will always be maintained. His body's immunity will always be in good condition, so he will not be easily attacked by disease.

But even so, he doesn't need to force himself to do things that almost exceed his strength limits in the gym. It's also bad for his health because he could sprain himself while exercising. And if that's the case, anything in excess is only sometimes good, and that's why we have to be able to keep everything in balance.

None other than that happened because of carelessness that should not have been done, but yes I understand that we like humans will never escape mistakes, one of which is wrong in taking action without fully considering it. Even though there are still many other activities that can still give pleasure without involving risks for themselves, such as going to the gym or traveling to a place that can make you happy again. I think it's one of those addictions that won't be a problem at all if it's outside of gambling and there's no possibility of risk in it, after all as you said they will have a healthy and awake body.

Yes the excessive factor will always be a problem in anything, not only in gambling but in the daily activities that we do it can also have a bad impact on us if we always overdo it. Yes, I agree, therefore I hope that we can be more considerate in every decision, if it is beyond our ability then it is better to avoid it, so we must be able to make everything run in balance according to our abilities, it is better.

Therefore, if we have found another way to overcome gambling addiction, we must also be able to manage it well so that we do not become addicted to other things. We also have to remember that everything in excess is not always good for our bodies or our lives. The important thing is that we can balance everything so that our lives can run well and in balance. We don't need to do things that we feel are difficult to do because we also need to adapt to our abilities to do them, but it is useful for us in overcoming the gambling addiction that we experience. However, when we can start reducing our gambling activities, it is a good sign because our minds are no longer dominated by gambling so we can do other things easily.

And by balancing everything, we can be comfortable in living each day while we are still trying to get rid of the gambling addiction that may still be within us. And with good activity management, we can slowly cure our gambling addiction and we can definitely live a normal life like other people.

I think that's one of the best ways to get rid of a bad addiction, switch it with a good addiction.

For example, get that "high" from going out for a run, or creating something. That's a much better use of your limited time on earth than gambling.

At the end, it will probably require much more time to have a negative consequence from those positive addictions than gambling.

Do you mean cross addiction? I think that's a good idea but you have to know that all excess activity is not good for everyone's physical and mental health, If someone might replace gambling addiction to a good addiction like physical exercise or other thing that has a positive outcome to a person then it's good but there's a tendency that even a good addiction might cause something bad also. Much better if a person will teach how to balance everything so that it can't lead to any obsession.

There would really be no negative if you are really just that responsible towards your actions and that intent of yours when it comes to gambling. You wouldnt really be finding yourself
for any problems neither positive or negative if you do really have just simply having that moderation when it comes to your gambling spending. You wont really be making yourself
a problem and this is something that must be done by everyone on the time that they would really stepping into the world of gambling.
The key on here is that you shouldnt really be that making yourself that get addicted or else you would really be ending up on a disaster or something that you
didnt expect that it would really happen into you.

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.

While you are concern about the effective solution for gambling addiction and also the expenses for therapy have you consider how much those addicted gamblers will spend  if not being threated ?
the amount they will pay for therapy is just a peanut of how much they can lose in the long term while they can use the betting money for the therapy and also how much time and what are the other stake if they continue gambling.

But if you are seeking for cheaper or even free? then that is either the Church that will help them realized or their family and friends but first they must trust them before the process starts because even therapist cannot help them if they are not participating .

You have the appropriate approach to handling addiction, and it is important to gamble it with seriousness. The key to success is control; more control than ever if you will. It all comes down to establishing and maintaining boundaries. You must be tough with yourself.  It's important that you diversify your routine and occupy your mind and body with activities that are beneficial to your health and well-being

Also, let's talk about balance, which is huge, important, and everything. You need to engage in healthy activities that will stimulate your body and mind without endangering it more. It's similar to managing a business in that you need to have the right people in the right positions and the appropriate habits in the correct quantities in your personal life

Reducing gambling is a big win, it's huge. It indicates that you're regaining control and becoming the boss. And we desire it, isn't that right? Not some addiction, but ourselves, is what we want to be in control of. Thus, keep going, keep pushing, and never forget that the goal is to start something good as opposed to merely stopping something unpleasant. And that's how you overcome the odds and win

By replacing gambling activities with other more useful activities, we can see that we can get other interesting things, which of course, can divert our minds from gambling so that we will not continue gambling, which will cost us a lot of money. If we can distract ourselves from gambling by doing other things, we can avoid losing money on gambling because other activities may not require as much money to be enjoyable.

Self-control is what every gambler must have if they still want to gamble responsibly. The problem is that many gamblers lose control of themselves when they get pleasure from gambling and think that by using more money, they can get bigger wins and greater pleasure. And indeed, we should be able to have more activities to help us divert attention from gambling so that we can also reduce the use of money for gambling.

If we balance having fun and doing what we should, we will not experience serious problems because our bodies also need to do other things, especially physical activity, to maintain our health. By doing physical activity, we can balance everything and also divert our minds from unnecessary things so that we can manage our lives well.

We are the boss, so we must manage everything in our lives. We don't want to experience gambling addiction, especially since we have seen the impact of gambling on gamblers, so we have to be more careful and always try to limit our gambling. And if we can find other pleasures outside of gambling, it will give us the balance we want to achieve. But we can still gamble as usual but with good self-control so that we don't experience serious problems such as gambling addiction.

The self control in the gambling is enough for the gambler to get away from the gambling addiction,my friend had spend 5k dollars for the reduction of the gambling addiction.It may be seems to be the biggest money,but the fact is he is the millionaire.So my friend family decided to use the 5k treatment to avoid him to get loss of entire million dollars.But the fact is he never get away from the gambling addiction.Because he is not ready to quit the gambling from his mind.So self control was the important that spending huge money spending to get away from the gambling addiction.Playing the gambling game is not the wrong one,only the gambling addicted person doing the spoil of the name of the gambling.

That is a very good point, and we must not only consider the amount of money that someone that is left untreated will keep spending on their addiction, we need to also think on the time, opportunities, relationships, opportunity cost and the overall well-being people give up just to keep themselves enjoying their addiction.

And when we think about things on those terms then we can easily realize that whatever cost a therapy may have, this is nothing compared to the costs the addicted will have to keep paying.

[Litzki1990]

Gambling gains will influence a person to gamble and gambling losses will make a person depressed. Not everyone plans to gamble with either low cost or high cost considerations. I have seen a lot of gamblers who have gambled away their money at one stage by mortgaging their house to someone else and then gambling with that money, how do you see this? Everything has a certain dimension. Nothing is good in excess, a gambler who earns a lot of money every month and if he loses all his money by gambling then he is a poor person. On the other hand, if a low-income person gambles while managing his family and is not addicted to gambling at certain times, then his gambling style is correct and he is a rich person. 
Gambling is an aspect that gives people no time to think, how much money you have or how you will fare in the future if this amount is lost. A gambling addict does not have time to think.

Yeah, spot on.

But I do think that positive addictions, such as running too much, etc, usually require more time for you to actually end up in a negative situation.

And by that time you might realize that you are a bit too addicted and might be able to tone it down a bit, etc.

Whereas with gambling and other negative addictions it might only require a few days to have catastrophic consequences.

A person who has experienced a gambling addiction must have a strong desire and will to cure his gambling addiction. Otherwise, whatever amount of money he uses to cure his gambling addiction will not be successful in curing his gambling addiction because he will return to gambling again because he still thinks about enjoying gambling games. Self-control is something that every gambler must have to prevent gambling addiction, and it is not easy because people can lose self-control after they have been gambling for a while and they don't realize it. We can gamble but with good self-control to prevent problems that will arise in gambling, especially since we have seen and know the impact experienced by people who lose self-control while gambling.

[Hirose UK]

An easy way to overcome gambling addiction can start from several things such as trying to have limits and also starting to have self-control over every gambling activity.
Although this method is not guaranteed, at least it can save costs and can also be done more competently.

The point is to slowly reduce gambling activities because getting rid of addiction is not as easy as people think, let alone stopping gambling, if you succeed in reducing it gradually then the desire to gamble will decrease over time even though this takes a long time but it will ultimately make people stop their addiction and can stop gambling whenever he wants, it all requires a process that might be considered difficult.

I once saw a friend of mine succeed in doing something like that, he didn't stop suddenly and he followed the process of reducing his time gambling so that slowly he started not feeling the desire to gamble. he is much better now with his family and a completely normal person without gambling anymore. I can take that experience because someone has succeeded. Strong determination is needed before doing so.

It difficult to just reduce gambling activities gradually because there is always desire to return to playing and betting in place they like, unless they look for other activities that can be useful then it can be effective in reducing gambling activities.
I sure that if someone works and after that has other activities then they will be able to slowly forget about gambling and only do it once or twice week so that over time they can control it.
Even though it takes a long time, if you do it with happy heart and a calm mind it won't be problem it won't even feel like they can be responsible gamblers without having to worry about addiction.

It just that most people out there when they are addicted don't want to do it because they feel that gambling is everything, even worse they feel bored and anxious if they don't do several sessions of playing or betting.
A good start is to have intentions and efforts that are based on sense of enthusiasm to recover or stop gambling addiction.

If someone feels anxious because they don't gamble, it is certain that they are a serious addict at a high level, it is difficult to cure them, especially if they realize that they have gone too far in gambling, it is impossible to do so, after all, it is impossible for addicts to have that awareness before they are truly bankrupt and losing many people around him leaving him alone, because loneliness and bankruptcy will usually make someone aware of how to restore everything for the better.

Even though not many people succeed, there are some people who try to recover for the better, they don't have to stop gambling, just reduce it slowly so that it reduces the desire and feelings of anxiety when not gambling, gradually this will help reduce the addiction even though it takes a long time. In fact, there is no solution to stop gambling completely, but reducing it slowly is much better.

Acceptance and willingness will really come a long way in treating gambling addiction.

An addict must first acknowledge to himself that he is indeed suffering from addiction and must be eager to be treated and to receive medications and interventions. It's not a one-day process to recover from severe gambling habits that has been built for a long period of time. That is why it will not be an easy task to cure it too. Rehabilitation will take a step-by-step progress. It could include highs and lows which includes being clean for a certain period, then having the urge to gamble again. And that's totally normal. It's part of the healing. After all, not all healing are linear. It can even be spiraled. Hence, one must really have the willingness, determination, and persistence to recover. Otherwise, the efforts and treatment will just all go to waste. Being aware and helping yourself are big key factors in getting out of addiction.

Those will be tough days for a gambling addict because he has to go through all the healing processes. But if he has acknowledged and accepted his condition of being a gambling addict from the start, that means he is ready to accept everything that he will go through. That is the consequence of what he has to do as a result of being addicted to gambling. And the rehabilitation process must be carried out well so that it can produce the results he wants. Therefore, if in the healing process, there is a family who continues to support him, the gambling addict will not feel heavy and can even feel the love of his family who does not abandon him who is undergoing healing therapy. This will make him enthusiastic because he will see that his family has not abandoned him but has remained with him while he is undergoing therapy.

Those which have fallen prey of any addiction need to realize that just as it took them months or even years for their addiction to develop, it will also take them a lot of time for them to overcome their addiction and they may need several tries for this to happen.

And I mention this because there are some of those addicts that have fantastic ideas about a fast recovery happening to them and everything going back to normal, something that is not really possible as even if they overcome their addiction they will have to struggle with it for the rest of their lives.

The rehabilitation process is crucial. Its not just a path towards recovery but a transformative journey that reshapes one's life and values. Here, family is important right? Their assistance can move things forward. Its about emotional anchorage, not just presence. When a family supports an addict, they renew relationships and restore trust. Recovery rests on this support system.

Can we see this path as a chance for the whole family to grow, not just as battling addiction? Its an opportunity for everyone to learn, understand human behavior, and grow. The goal is to foster a deeper, more compassionate family understanding, not just heal one person. Wouldnt you agree that such a difficult experience could strengthen and unite your family?

Like how the hell can you say that therapy is low cost? Bro many people who are on the level of average in terms of making money can't even afford it, that's no low cost, maybe in your country but not in mine.

Also therapy can only work if the person is looking for solution and they determined to get the problem solved, most addicted gamblers are not looking for solution, they are looking for something to put all the blames on, sorry for sounding this way.

I have two people are I can consider calling a relative because we grow up together, they are both addicted to gambling and they have never for once said it's their fault for falling into addiction with gambling, I told them they need to accept that the problem is them first before they can able to beat the addiction.

If you are committing a crime and you don't see anything wrong with it, that's not a crime to you, not until you realize that what you are doing is wrong you can never be free of that habit, you will always go back and do the same thing, because to you it's never wrong.
