And the question arises that such a player has already begun to lose so much that it has seriously begun to affect the life of his family or close relatives.  And only then did everyone suddenly come to their senses and start persuading that the player should be prohibited from playing and that he should be treated.  But everyone should have paid attention to this player’s predilection much earlier.  Then it would be much easier to get rid of gambling addiction. 
It seems to me that this is a very common mistake made by the player’s relatives and himself.

That is the problem, people often don't notice things until they start creating problems for them, and it's not just about gambling but everything in general. When it comes to gambling, gamblers don't realize it quickly, some don't even do that until they get too deep into the addiction but their families and friends can notice the change before the gamblers themselves, so they should start thinking of a solution as soon as they notice this change.

However, even if friends and families do notice some change in the behaviour of the gambler or if they see financial issues occurring, they can't solve the issue themselves unless the gambler acknowledges it and agrees that they are addicted and they want to get rid of it, that is when their friends and family members can do something to help them.

That is just the way people are, if you tell a person that their actions will have consequences years in the future, they will not listen to a thing you say, but if you were to tell them that what they are doing will have immediate consequences they will be way more ready to listen, so when a person is at the early stages of gambling addiction they will not make any attempt to stop themselves as they think of themselves as still being on control, and only until this is not the case they will begin to think about taking some actions to remedy this problem.

It's right.  Of course, people often completely ignore the possible consequences of their steps and actions in the long term.  And if this is the near future, then they may think about it and change their actions a little. 
This of course also applies to gambling. 
For this reason, even a player who is actually already an addicted gambler, and this is obvious to his close people, quite calmly answers everyone that in the future he will definitely stop gambling and will lose his attraction to gambling quite easily.  But he can no longer do this without outside help.  As a result, it turns out that any warnings about the terrible and destructive consequences of gambling addiction for potential addicted gamblers sound like something that does not concern them.  And the warnings are simply completely ignored by such a gambler.  How to brush off an intrusive fly.

People would really be just that mindful on the time that they would be experiencing those common consequences or situations been faced up by most gamblers on which they arent been able to mind it on earlier but rather they would really be doing it but its already too late. This is why it would really be better that you should be wary on the things around and on how things do works and what are the effects that it could possibly give when you do exert too much engagement and spending then you would really be ending up miserable and this is something that you should really be trying out to find for yourself
because once you do then you would really be having that kind of self awareness on things on which its not really that hard. Wondering on why many people missed out on this one.

Caution is a very important human characteristic.  It is this property that allows one to avoid any unpleasant consequences as a result of human actions.  But caution, of course, also depends on how quickly a person thinks and estimates what his actions will lead to. 
In gambling, caution is definitely important. 
It will really allow you not to lose too much and perhaps even stop the game and think carefully about whether it’s worth continuing or whether it’s better to end it even if you lose a lot of money. 
In my opinion, careful gamblers and careful people generally do not become addicted to gambling at the stage of the disease.  Their caution initially protects such players from harmful passion.

Gambling is not bad generally it is only when you form it a habit by allowing emotions attached to it, many goes to the extended of borrowing money to gamble or even gambling with the amount that they can not afford to loss and at some point making gambling to look like a crime while it is legalized. Gamble responsibily by only gambling with what you can afford to lose and still remain yourself.

Gambling is not bad generally it is only when you form it a habit by allowing emotions attached to it, many goes to the extended of borrowing money to gamble or even gambling with the amount that they can not afford to loss and at some point making gambling to look like a crime while it is legalized. Gamble responsibily by only gambling with what you can afford to lose and still remain yourself.

This is something we cannot allow ourselves to happen anymore, if we are focused on doing things well we have to be clear about something, we are people who will always have to look for improvements in our lives, there is no other option, we have to be clear In things, we cannot be inventing that we can do certain things without measuring the consequences. We are people who do have to see what we are getting ourselves into and how we can measure our capabilities. We cannot allow things to be like that. It's okay, if we play. We see what we can do but we have to take care of our image too, the fact that we reach a state where we are borrowing money to go to jail in a casino like that is a great addiction, there is no other way, it is something we should not do, we must overcome and we cannot allow it to continue.

One thing that we feel so desepsere for the game is Something that is not normal , it is okay that we like the game but in your wise Judgment , we are not people to go off and do any kind of things so that later everything goes badly for us, It is not like this.

A person must control himself, a person in the game must see it as another activity that must be carried out with moderation and not with despair, the fact that someone lends money to spend in a casino, at least it does not give me confidence and it is something that We should not do anything more, I see that we must lose borrowed money because we have no other recourse , but it is for something big, something emergency, a medical emergency, someone needs the money quickly, this is the only thing we must see.

But since each person handles themselves as they can and as they want because it is their money, here what I can advise is just for the sake of not falling into a lack addiction, because it is sad that a person's life is slipping away thanks to an addiction, that is something that is not good at all and that we must avoid falling into.

Someone has got a serious problem when they are onto the point of life that they're borrowing money just to gamble. Not just that, they're selling random stuff that they own for them to sustain their gambling addiction.

No one can stop them but hard realization that they're doing too much and they're no longer in their sanity.

Gamble responsibily by only gambling with what you can afford to lose and still remain yourself.

And never borrow money to gamble because you'd be paying a lot of interest on top of the borrowed amount.

So, just don't gamble at all when you don't have money to place for your bets. Don't be pushy with it.

Caution and emotion handling on which i could really say that this is something relevant specially when dealing up with gambling. Majority of people who do mess up their lives because of gambling is that those people are really that delusional on trying out to be rich with gambling and this kind of motive or aims in mind will really be keeping pushing them on doing things on which arent supposed to be done. Once you do become that impulsive and really that make yourself desperate then this is where things turns out to be a problematic condition.  Gamblers doesnt really need up any help
if they are really just that sensible into the things that they are doing. They wont really be putting up themselves on such big trouble if they have just that kind of mindset.

It is really just that people never ever learn on the time that they wont be able to experience the worst. Its not necessary for you to experience out before you could learn because you could eventually
be able to avoid things if you are really just that sticking into the reality aspect and not to make yourself that too hopeful on things which we know that it is really unlikely to happen.
This is why it would really be that best on having realistic approach rather than on making yourself that too wishful thinking on things.

Sometimes I have seen a lot that the Biggest problem of the players is this of not having anything to do about the emotions, I am a person who does not defend that much should be done with the emotions, also emotions are something that we cannot control , that it is possible, but that it cannot be done easily and when we let our emotions become a terrible problem, we must always make it clear that when it comes to doing things much better it is Preferable to do them well , so I don't kill myself my head with the emotions because I know that it is difficult to Control them, it is preferable to control the money that is Going to be put into the casino and let the emotions flow, it is the easiest and that is what is most recommended to do, basically it is to put on a shirt 11 bullets, because it is very difficult to do it.

If we don't know how to poem, despite the fact we see that emotions are what often cause us to lose when we are very focused on the game, emotions also sometimes do the opposite process, that is, they are playing and are very lucky, they say go for the emotions and win, but of course that is something that is very risky, I would not take it as one of the strategies to follow and that many players have a life where their money goes very quickly, but I prefer to have my emotions controlled with money that the emotions will try to control them during the game and at the same time I can say that I have control of it, because that does not work like that, the money still goes away if we do not control from the beginning the money that we are willing to lose, if this is not done , the consequences are disastrous.

One of the most common problems and what we must take care of is addiction, addiction makes us stay in control of everything, not only emotions, our money , it Makes us lose friends , family, everything, then this It is not a good business and all with just controlling the money we are willing to lose, if we do that well, we will have better results.

So, just don't gamble at all when you don't have money to place for your bets. Don't be pushy with it.

On the time that you are already borrowing money just for you to gamble then you are really just that basically making yourself that ending up on huge problem once you have seen your pocket is already empty or on the time that you arent able to spend up something just because you dont have any fund left and this is where people or gambler do really starts on having those suicidal acts just because they cant be able to bare out or handle out such condition. Quitting gambling might sounds basic but on the actual condition then this is where people do failed up on doing so. If quitting is really just that easy then gambling business or companies
wont flourished out into this market, but we are actually seeing the different condition or situation on which it does have that increase on which means that it is really that making such progress
due to tons of addicted gamblers out there.

Gamble responsibly by only gambling with what you can afford to lose and still remain yourself.

The first thing we have to know before we vent into gambling is that gambling is a game of chances and whatever amount we set aside to gamble with we should know that we can lose it at whatever time, so we shouldn't form the mentality of gambling to make profits and also we should stay away from gambling as much as possible because, there are high chances that it could get you addicted to the point that it will become uncontrollable.


And also we should know that gambling with the mindset of winning can lead us into a gambling crisis because forming such a mentality will force you into chasing losses along the line which will lead you to more losses.

The moment anyone starts positioning their mind on the money to be made from gambling, that's when things start getting awkward. It takes a mature mind to gamble, but unfortunately, most minds gambling are not just mature, hence the bad results and complaints we see about gambling. Gambling on its own is not bad but is pushy, and for those who have the prior knowledge about this bad side of it, they could have planned ahead which is why learning is so important. It will guide us aright to know the good and the bad side of gambling so that we can try to achieve the good and also guard against the bad side. This is the only way responsible gambling can be unlocked because gambling itself will creep into people unnoticed, infest it and the outcome could be devasting.

As we know, nothing can be done when the mind has been corrupted by gambling, it will be uncontrollable, and at this stage, the gambler would have become addicted and all that he does will be toward gambling and wasting money on it. Because at that time, such wouldn't be gambling politely anymore but just following the emotion in him. This calls for discipline, and self and account management, with these, no gamblers can go extreme to the point of becoming irresponsible doing it. Nonetheless, we can help ourselves by not fixing our minds on the money involved in gambling, we should gamble with a neutral mind and believe we are having fun in it. And when it comes to the time of losses, we should let go in most cases, it's not worth chasing it too hard, especially when further gambling at that time will not in any way agree with our gambling principles and plans.

Despite of all the challenges many of the gamblers are having while they are gambling due to some other reasons they personally contributed to or the ones that are inherent to them, how many of them are still finding it something interesting to quit gambling at the cause, gambling is not what is that easy to just say with mouth that we are quitting or we are providing a solution to the already wrongs in it, there are process and requirements needed.

Expectations have to be in line with what we can achieve, if a person imagine themselves earning a great fortune through gambling and they have no skills which could make this a reality, at some point they will make a huge mistake while gambling since it is impossible for their results to actually be that good, and when that happens they will begin to increase the size of their bets hoping that this could remedy the situation, which of course it does not as things get even worse.

I Know many gamblers become gambling because they have been thought but not sure  if even addiction are

Since all people who gamble are quite different from each other in temperament, character, and self-control, their behavior in a gaming situation can be completely different. 
In my opinion, quite a lot also depends on a person’s mental abilities, which precisely determine the moment when it is better to stop in the game or when it is better to continue playing.  And here you are absolutely right, until a person himself personally experiences some shock or, one might say, a strong emotional impact from losing or winning, he will never understand where the limit of reasonable actions in a gaming situation lies. 
But theoretically, all this can, of course, be told to a novice player; he will even nod his head, showing you that he understood everything.  But in reality, when it comes to his independent play, everything will not be so. 
It seems that only specific personal experience in this matter really enlightens the brain and trains the ability not to make completely stupid game moves.

lol the process of quitting is to admit that you are addicted and you need to quite .

the requirements that they need? is to admit that they need help and they must quit.

Look at those?? similar thing and admittance is what they need to win against gambling .

betting is not bad if you know how to handle but  if this affecting your life then that is not a good thing.

By the way, many players are well aware that gambling greatly affects their lives.
 First of all, because the player spends a lot of his time and quite a lot of money losing when he gets stuck in the game.  However, even with the realization that gambling is a problem for such a player, he still continues to actively play. 
But maybe he continues to play with short breaks.  However, during these breaks, his thoughts often return to his game, which makes it very difficult to concentrate on his other affairs.  In this case, I think outside help becomes necessary.  To begin with, this is help from loved ones, with persuasion and simply persuasion, trying to distract the player from gambling. 
Everything, of course, depends on the character of the player, but it seems to me that in some cases this will help cope with such an emerging gaming addiction and prevent the addiction from developing into the stage of mental illness.

The first step to quit any addiction is to just want to do it, the majority of those that are still immersed in it are in that situation because they want it, they cannot conceive their lives without gambling every day for hours, only those that have gotten tired of that lifestyle and want to recover a bit of what they lost can begin the process to heal, a process that is definitely difficult and that it can take a massive amount of time, but it can be done, as there are many people that leave their addictions behind and never fall on them again.

I'm sorry I haven't written anything for a while. I'm amazed to see the activity in this feed. I wish the people I'm trying to help would be as active in discussions as you are.

Here are the latest updates from QuitGamble.com

• We have passed 6500 members on the platform from 150+ countries now.
• The website is live in French, Portuguese, Swedish, Spanish and English
• During January, we worked on a study where we asked our members about their gambling habits. We got 3300 responses. I believe it's the biggest study on gambling addicts ever. (I'm a bit proud of that to be honest.) Among the questions we asked were: What do you gamble on? What do you struggle most with? And why do you gamble? We got some interesting results. 73% of gambling addicts gamble on slot machines... among women, that number is +90%. That main reason gambling addicts gamble is to win big money. (However, I've never met a gambling addict who gambles to win... so for me, that result is the most interesting of them all... Because it means that most gambling addicts don't know why they gamble. If you're curious, you can find the full gambling addiction study here.
• A couple of weeks ago, we started with a paywall for our courses and community. There are two reasons, first people tend to value things more if they need to pay for them. By paying, people take things more seriously, and hopefully, that will boost the activity. Second, we need money to be able to run our operations. Our goal is to be self-sustainable to remain completely independent from the gambling industry. All the extensive guides on the website and the Happiness Test will remain free.

I was checking the site and felt great to see that you are working with some academics to create contents. The Stockholm School of Economics in Riga is conducting a survey to understand decentralized gambling industry. Do you think you can collaborate with each others to help the academic study? I can connect you both if you want.
