Low cost but effective solutions to gambling addiction

[Negotiation]

I've tried my best to be the very best version of myself, there's certainly no time to hold back but exerting the same energy level received by people. We can make profits and losses from the system, it just depend on what we do and how we're able to stretch our mappings and strategies

As i told before, self-exclusion is best way to get out of anything if one seriously give his best effort for that. There are many ways to making money and it depends on people what source they are choosing for what perpose. I mean its okey to gambling for fun but not primary source of income. Nothing wrong with gambling untill a person get addicted and keep losing his all in it. That's why need to take step. If he fails to do avoid it ownself then he may ask help for such organizations what op mentioned in his statements but the process will take time to complete. Addiction is kind of thing where anyone can't get out of it shortly

Once gambling becomes an addiction it is really difficult to quit. When gambling consumes a person's thoughts and actions silently when they cannot stop even after repeated attempts when all economic family or social relationships are gradually destroyed then it will turn into a mental illness. If a gambler can keep himself in control then no action is needed. But when you lose control and your family goes beyond correction you have to find another way.

If a gambler can keep himself in control then no action is needed. But when you lose control and your family goes beyond correction you have to find another way.

Of course and indeed this is what is feared from the addiction phase, firstly it is very difficult to be treated and secondly the impact of the addiction situation is very bad, I'm not sure they will feel fine if they have entered into that situation because what they will experience is a cycle of chasing victory to restore the defeat in the previous time, or the intention is to break even which is quite impossible in gambling activities, that's why we always have to bring money that we can be responsible for whatever the outcome is because obviously what is feared is that you get emotional and instead chase victory because you are unable to accept the fact that you lost.

A gambler who has entered the addiction phase, they have a mindset and beliefs that are very different from other gamblers or normal people, where the point of the problem is in terms of expectations, they are too excessive in placing expectations due to a lack of understanding or even misunderstanding of what winning in gambling is, they think that it is like something they can definitely get, when in fact it is nothing more than something that is still uncertain or just a chance, so what happens is that they always try to pursue it and without realizing that the number of losses is getting bigger. Therefore, this is the importance of why we must always apply self-control, limits and awareness in gambling in order to minimize things that are not wanted.

If someone has strong intentions and determination, the addiction can be corrected or even completely eliminated. so, it all depends on each individual. but nothing is easy and instant, everything has to go through a process. and most importantly, realizing that we have a problem with gambling addiction. by realizing it, and being accepted with full awareness. then, efforts to stop it will come from within us. especially if accompanied by awareness of the consequences we cause, after going through the many phases we have gone through. for example, difficulty in stopping, the impact on family relationships, the economy, even the stage at which a person becomes mentally ill. yeah, like you said in this post.

But the problem is, it's not just self-control that plays the most role. but awareness, and knowing the limits of what we can afford. Self-control is born from awareness and responsibility for what we do consciously, especially when it is related to gambling. Based on experience, a person can train himself to be more disciplined. especially, if it is related to gambling. Just play with something you think you can afford, if you lose, it's over. however, until this process occurs, a person must first go through the healing phase of their addiction, and that is not easy as I said above. there are various methods that a person can use, including going to a rehabilitation center. there are also those who do it themselves, but with awareness and a strong determination to change it. at first it will definitely be very difficult, but if you get used to it over time it will become something normal. once liberated, and have an understanding of the limitations that only we can afford, then we will have responsibility and self-control. however, it is still important to always increase awareness. so, gamble as much as you can afford. If today the money we have is more important for other priorities, then we can gamble another day without forcing it.

Just like every other addiction needs meditation, the gambling addiction also needs the same type pf cure and attention but unfortunately, the gamblers either do not seek any such assistance or there does not exist any such facilities easily, where the addicted gamblers can reach out for their treatment.

By the way, gambling addiction is an expensive illness where the gamblers play excessive gambling and hence lose a lot of money. Therefore i do not think the medication and cure for this can be of low cost. I guess since there are not much talk about gambling addiction facility center's, those offering these services, may charge higher than other medical addiction cures.

Yes, it's great if we can convince the player to play smart. I think no one is against this. It’s just that many addicts don’t know how to play, what smart strategy to use. They use very simple strategies and believe that they are intellectuals who have learned the secrets of the universe. I would recommend learning and mastering something new. Or even play other games. This is both distracting and allows you to take a fresh look at your strategies. In addition, it prevents tilt.

I think there are quite a few really skilled gamblers that are also addicted.

The thing is that it is independent of your level of skill, but of course there are more unskilled gamblers so you see more addicted ones in total.

You always need to keep things in check unless you want things to spin out of control at some point.

No gambler is immune to addiction. Anybody could get addicted, and it's a matter of how the player follows his strategies. It's not simple to gamble and not have some signs of addiction. As you said, Nullama, some professional gamblers also get addicted. Therapists pondering why professional gamblers get addicted, left them with the conclusion that anybody could get addicted. While we gamble, it's needful to keep observing the required rules needed to keep us safe from being addicted. The reason some advanced gamblers get addicted is due to the insignia people already put on them for being a professional gambler. It can deceive the person to think he won't get addicted, ever, in gambling. Not knowing that he's still at the mercy of gambling addiction and remain vulnerable to it. Hence, he could get addicted anytime soon.

The right thing to do is staying true to the strategy which took us to the top in gambling. Since the professionals can get addicted, what more the newbies. They'll have a hard time keeping up with the game without being addicted. Gambling addiction is too strong to avoid, due to the amount of money needed to gamble and win big. Everyone wants money to some extent. That means gamblers won't stop easily, it's more like a lifelong attitude. Gambling is not a game where a person can play for few days and stop. This makes it difficult to heal and addicted person. Because he has invested time and money in gambling. Counseling him wouldn't be an easy task. Looking for a cheaper means of curing the person, exists, but if it keeps delaying the process, the gambler is mandated to see a psychotherapist. Since it has to do with the brain.

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?

There are free services that active gamblers can take advantage of, although it is not the same for paid people as for free ones. The question is how can unemployed people or people who don't have money get addicted to gambling? Don't addicted gamblers usually have the money to get involved in it because there is no way for people to be addicted to gambling but don't have the money to gamble.

The therapy in question can also be carried out by the family at home, although it is not the same as the pattern used by professional therapy, but at least simple things can be done alone at home with the family.

Yeah, every person actually can end up in addiction...

It really can start as a little fun thing, then slowly it changes into a life changing thing.

You need to always keep alert

That is where the role of the family at home is to be able to help family members who are addicted to gambling using methods that are adapted to the conditions at home. It is best to discuss this matter first with the person who is addicted to gambling so that he can understand that they are using simple methods to help him overcome his gambling addiction problem. With openness from gambling addicts and their family members, they can provide the best solution for gambling addicts to start implementing their methods and can also reduce their gambling addiction.

Maybe they will start by reducing their gambling addiction slowly and although it may take longer, it is still worth doing. With help from other family members and always encouraging and encouraging gambling addicts to cure their gambling addiction, this can give gambling addicts awareness that they still have a chance to cure their gambling addiction.

Those that are addicted will find a way to get some money to keep their addiction going, and this is something that we see with drug addicts very often, after all those substances are very expensive so it would be easy to think that soon enough those people will run out of money and they will be forced to get clean for a time, even if they do not want to do it.

However a person with that kind of urge to consume those substances can become incredibly resourceful, and they will find a way to get money no matter what.

Yeah, that's the thing, addiction is a powerful thing and people do pretty much anything to get their fix.

It's a slippery slope that can end with a terrible consequence.

It's always a good idea to keep your addictions in check, and they are many things that can be addictive.
