GAMBLING DISORDER

[maydna]

Try not to gamble for a while, and don't think about returning to gambling so that you don't have the urge to gamble again. You need strong determination and effort to eliminate the desire to gamble again, which is not easy. You need to force your mind not to think about gambling, and if necessary, you can do other activities. Maybe you need to visit a professional to ask for help to overcome these feelings of depression and eliminate the desire to gamble again. It all lies in a strong desire to be able to leave gambling, but even if there is a desire, if you are not serious about doing it, you will probably return to gambling again.

You need strong determination and effort to eliminate the desire to gamble again, which is not easy.

It all lies in a strong desire to be able to leave gambling, but even if there is a desire, if you are not serious about doing it, you will probably return to gambling again.

All the things you are saying are okey and are logical for someone who is not still very deep into gambling addiction or someone who has a very big willpower to overcome the feelings and the cravings to continue to gamble. In my opinion, saying someone something like "try not to gamble" is not appropriate. Though, it is appropriate to tell them to seek professional help if they can.
If he cannot immediately get help from professionals, then the best shot for him would be to get in touch with people he can trust with his problem, and ask them for help to self-exclude from gambling platforms and find distractions off the world of gambling.

We must recall that addiction is not something which can be willfully controlled as some people imply, if someone is suffering from problem gambling, we need to assume such person has completely lost control over his desires and and will power.  
If this was any other kind of addiction, you would not ask for him to embrace to his own willpower and desire to recover, wouldnt you?

This is the toughest problem for a gambler and until now the cases are still increasing. Dealing with gambling is not as easy as other things because it is very addictive and very difficult to stop. Going to a psychologist might help a little, but if you are careless or there are no other positive activities, gambling symptoms will appear again. There are always consequences for this problem and quite a few of them end tragically. So as much as possible avoid the dangers of gambling addiction because it is very bad for life.

How can one control the uncontrollable urge to keep gambling despite the toll it takes on once life.

It's getting worse every day. I'm extremely depressed I have thoughts of unaliving myself more often, some times I feel the betting companies manipulate people spiritually to get them addicted where be playing without plans and strategy. Once a bet place get cut, there is this uncomfortable urge to quickly book another one with the plans of recovering the first money lost but it will end up cutting again.

There is no choice but to deal with it with yourself. You need to fight the temptation of gambling. Try to consider doing other things and make yourself busy. The fact that you were able to post here with your problem, means you can still manage to help yourself and get out of that temptation of pushing yourself to gambling.

You can do it mate, you need to help and force yourself to stop gambling whatever it takes.

By not overdoing it. When someone gambles too much, it will be difficult for them to controls themselves, which will cause them to becomes addicted, and if this happened every day, it will be increasingly difficult to stop. It is not easy to stoped gambling activities if they are addicted because they find it difficult to control themselves and to stop it is with intention and determination. We must be able to control our thoughts that gambling will only bring greater losses and these losses will not be able to be covered if we are too fall into addictions.

One way to calm you down is to stop, if you feels that gambling has started to make you feel anxious, tense and makes you think more and more, it is better to stoped your gambling. But if it is difficult for you to stop then use a more effective method to stop your gambling and reduce your expenses you slowly don't thinks about chasing losses because that will make you even more depressed with bigger losses.

for sure OP you need some PROFESSIONAL help. Rehab? Prescription Drugs? Consultancies?
I don't know.
However, I think you're on the right way if you have identified a problem and you think a change is achievable.
Don't feel shy, don't feel guilty, go straight and fight properly you will win with the right approach.

Gambling disorder refers to the situation when a gambler becomes so mentally disturbed that he cannot free himself from the attraction of gambling. However, the addicted gambler cannot do it on his own, but if he gets the help of his relatives, he will certainly be able to get rid of this difficult situation. But of course in this case he will need social rehab, a good psychiatrist, and some medical consultant. But open discussion and emotional comfort with close relatives can play a very important role in this regard. However, if the addict is given recreational opportunities such as gardening, picnics, trips to the beach, and long trips where there is no gambling environment, there is no such thing as a gambling disorder.

[Nrcewker]

This is not disorder, rather I would say this is addiction. You are addicted to gambling, and there are basic treatments for these which will help you to control the addiction. The best remedy is to spend time with your family. Talk with your children, or with your wife or with your parents. This will keep your mind diverted. Moreover set the finance’s control to someone responsible, so that they don’t give you money if you ask them. In this manner your gambling habit can be controlled upto a certain limit.

[Fundamentals Of]

You're probably still in control of yourself because you're still able to confront it as a problem. By posting your problem here in bitcointalk and by admitting that you're being somehow manipulated into addiction and you play without plans and strategy, you know that something is wrong.

Other highly addicted gamblers are full of denials. They can only speak of praises in their gambling experiences and their luck even if the reality is that they're losing everything.

I believe you can put a stop at this madness. You can do it. You still have the control in you. Just stay away from it once and for all and enjoy doing something else.

I have identified gambling as a death trap. Because gambling offers such a tempting offer that a gambler can never forget, because the gambling offer has made the gambler addicted. I can't break from gambling because I have been addicted for a long time, whenever I want to stop gambling I feel discomfort. I can't forget gambling even in the midst of work, even today I am addicted to gambling.

[moneystery]

you can try to stay away from gambling, try it for 1 or 2 days and see how you react to it. if you fail several times in your attempts, keep trying until you can control yourself not to gamble. but if this method doesn't work, you can try talking to your parents or siblings about how your gambling addiction is quite serious, maybe they can provide a solution or send you to a psychologist for further examination. i hope that your addiction problem can be resolved.

Don't wait for a worst scenario before opening this up to someone who you trust and who you think can help you.
If you are already in a state of depression and thinking about suicide, its about time to seek personal help. Gambling can be very risky if you are too emotional, that's why its very important for every new comers to be more prepared not just on the money they are willing to lose but also to the emotion stress that gambling might give to you.

This is how stupid people sometimes blaming others for their own problem , do gambling
sites forces you to gamble ? of course not instead they are just promoting their business and having
advertising  but the decision is for ours to choose .
it is really sad to know that there are people that struggles in gambling but you are also the one that
can help your problem from it.

You are right Hispo. In a case like the OP's, there is no room for half-measures. You have to take a radical approach and be clear that he has to give up gambling for good, seek professional help and put up all the barriers to avoid doing it again, such as the self-exclusion you mentioned. He also has to confess to his loved ones, no matter how hard it is for him, so that they can support him and help him to stop. It is a hard road but continuing gambling in that situation is much worse.

It is pathetic for the OP and I wrote my mind on this yesterday and I came back to check on what other people are talking about it today again just for a checkup's sake as I must say that I am so concerned especially when the "unliving" remark is included. This is not just a good mind state for him as he is not in the best of himself to make any right gambling calculations, and the best for him is to take a break from gambling immediately. Gambling is never by force, it is a choice and the best gamblers are good mind preservers and nothing should make you gamble again when you know that you have lost it (your mind). But I wonder what people were thinking that would make them get to this stage unnoticed.

Is it their carelessness or uncared attitude for themselves and the people who cared about them or they cared about? We should also be observing, we should never cross the line that will be hard for us in gambling or other things that are addictive. If careless about them, it will be so harmful to the point that it can cause depression. And we all know depression can cause anything we didn't plan for, which we do not pray for. Nevertheless, I hope this guy gets help as soon as possible. The rehabilitation might be the best plan now, it is what will keep him informed of the situation and the danger, and perhaps get healed as soon as possible if a brilliant professional can be engaged as soon as posisble.

Go looking for activities that really keep you busy and drain your energy, this will be quite an effective way to control your desire to gamble and of course by doing activities that drain your energy you can feel tired and just want to rest so you can forget about your desire to gamble.
Ask someone in your family for help, namely by entrusting some assets or money to them.
If are married, can entrust it to wife and if are not married, can ask parents for help in saving the amount of money that we have.
Actually, there are many ways you can do it, it just that sometimes not all gamblers want to do it.

Hahaha, you have been influenced by your own desire for gambling and made you have mindset that is actually superstition.
Gambling provides very high sense of curiosity because gambling will provide feeling of adrenaline that every gambler always wants and of course this will influence the desire to continue gambling.
There is nothing spiritual connected with gambling sites and everything is just an influence that is given and this is related to curiosity or addiction.

Identifying a problem is the first step to solving the problem. The OP has identified that gambling is making him feel depressed which means that he has realized that it is a problem in his life. Thus, the following should be done:

1. Deactivate all your bet accounts
2. Surround yourself with people who don't gamble.
3. Try to avoid gambling platforms on social media
4. Visit a counselor

Try these guides they will be helpful.

[EluguHcman]

It is uncalled-for having excuses over ones disorderliness as a caused of irresponsible addiction.
There is no spiritual relativity in gambling on possesesing  the gamblers instead it is the gamblers desperate aims and objectives of  a "must chasing after profits" that posseses the gamblers whom are not able to control their gaming emotions. Hence, the gamblers are specifically to be blamed and no on else.

If in anyway gambling companies have strategies to pin down gamblers to continue gaming with them, it is as usually way of companies and traders strategically structuring a way to attract their customers and the audiences.
Every organizations whom goals are to make financial profits would always have a means to flourish on their ventures maybe through speculations, adverts or trickishly likely to influence the audiences.

You're right, no one here can help OP with the plight that he's got, no matter how much caring or empathetic we are in real life, sending our thoughts and prayers to OP for his depression and addiction isn't going to magically do him any good, and the only thing that we can do is to listen and not criticize this person, venting about frustrations online can help OP even just a little so a message to OP, if you're reading this, you can always vent out what you want to say here on the forum, it's completely anonymous as long as no revealing details or such is included in your post and follow the advice of the other members, for you to take action and seek help, that includes help from family and loved ones and a professional one.

If you are gambling and you end up being depressed, then why do you keep on gambling? Why don’t you just stop gambling and get yourself something else to do? You shouldn’t force yourself to keep on gambling. You have to involve yourself in things that make you happy, not things that make you feel depressed.
 
Why will gambling companies manipulate you spiritually? You are the one manipulating yourself, and you are getting yourself addicted to gambling and not the gambling companies. No gambling company will tell you to keep on gambling after losing. If you want to keep on gambling after losing, it’s your decision to take, and you shouldn’t blame the gambling companies.
