GAMBLING DISORDER

[Davidvictorson]

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

Talk to somebody who is mature, a grown up who you trust other than your friend about this. If you believe in God and are a church goer, tell your religious leader, if you are Muslim, talk to your Iman about it. And any other religious leader about it. Do not be ashamed of your addiction because if you hide it, you will suffer in silence until it eats you up.

If you are married, hand over your finances to your spouse. Tell her or him not to give you money for anything without thorough scrutiny or a very valid reason. If you live with your parents, do the same thing. If you live alone, get a friend or your sibling to live with you or move in with your parents if they agree to after telling them your struggles. For entirely move to a new location that will not serve as a trigger.

Give up your electronic devices that have the ability to connect to the internet. For at least three months and then seek help.

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.

First of all, we must admit that if there are debts, then it will not work to pay them off with gambling winnings. Debts should be paid only with honest work, in no case does he hope for luck: and work will restore respect for you in the eyes of your relatives. You need to try to remove programs and applications related to gambling so that they do not catch your eye. Of course, I also recommend watching video interviews with players and psychologists.

OP, I think that you have taking gambling as a means of making profit and not for fun, and this is why even when you are losing, you keep on placing your bet on a new game because you are allowing your emotions to control you, which is making you to chase your losses. I see that you have been eaten up with addiction, and it has led you to great loss.

It is better that you quit gambling for maybe two years or more, this will enable you to overcome the gambling spirit in you that is pushing you to gamble even when you are running at loss. If you want to come back to gambling, then you must discipline yourself, and know how to control your emotion, by gambling with only the amount that you can afford to lose. Gamble for fun and not for profit.

I add again that it is necessary to realize really - really if you are experiencing a big defeat by gambling. after that start to leave gambling and think more positively and have to return to the right path in earning money. of course by working in real life. and intend to pay debts from your losses and mistakes from gambling. it's hard but it's better than just regretting and not doing anything.

If you continue to be addicted emotionally then when the money is gone while you still want to gamble then from every defeat will blame the casino, maybe your mind continues to imagine the casino that thinks it is manipulation so that you continue to play, even though it is only your hallucination from the downturn because the addiction has exceeded the limit.

Just do other work that makes you forget about gambling, what is a more useful occupation to do that because indeed if you force gambling due to addiction then this will be difficult without existing rehabilitation.

Try with a little money, or not playing gambling at all I think if it has an effect then slowly apply what you can to forget it.

Gambling has become too deep into you that you do not know what to do and how to stop doing it, you have what we can call the worst-case scenario in gambling and the only way is rehabilitation, all advice will not work even abstaining will not, by rehabilitation is being confined and get doctors help in curing the strong urge to gamble.
It will cost you money but the amount is nothing to what you're going to lose more if you cannot stop yourself from gambling so you better do what you have to do and not delay it because depression will grow each day you delay it so save yourself.

        -   As gamblers, what we do within the gambling industry always depends on the decision we make. Whether the result will be good or bad, it always depends on our minds when we gamble. So, it means that when we become greedy when playing while gambling, let's expect that the result will be bad in the end.

But if what we did is good, for sure, in the end it will also be good before we finish playing gambling here because we gambled correctly because we applied the habits that a gambler should have.

Controlling the impulse to keep gambling might be quite difficult, but you must reflect on yourself and acknowledge that you need to change if you want to gradually stop. Since you admitted that there were moments when you wished to end your own life, doesn't that already have a negative effect on it? Why don't you just take some time off, resist the urge to gamble, even for a single day, and establish a budget before you even consider playing, so that you can resist the urge to go over it?
 
I think it would be really beneficial if you talked about this problem or the struggles that you have been going through with someone you feel comfortable with in real life. You could also share it with family members you trust so they can offer you support and encouragement. Please realize, OP, that gambling is not a way to make ends meet. Don't chase losses, since that's what's making you miserable right now.

Ask yourself- why do you continue to gamble despite all the negativity surrounding it? What do you hope to achieve by gambling? Is this a financial problem that lets you hope of winning the jackpot; or is this an entertainment issue where gambling gives you that dopamine effect?

After asking yourself those questions, that is when you will start to re-evaluate your situation which can ultimately affect your decision making skills. Always remember, acknowledge that you suffer and then start from there. Start slow but with consistent pacing- replace slowly your gambling habits with different habits as this will create another discipline which is outside gambling.

OP, all hope is not lost- many people have stood on the very same platform you are facing and most of them had gotten out from this situation. Trust yourself and never lose that goal of recovering.

Focus on other interests or hobbies that excite you more than gambling. It is almost impossible to resist gambling addiction and the desire to win back what you have lost, and even more so, to control the desire to gamble.

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.

Addiction to gambling plays into the hands of bookmakers, allowing them to make money on gamblers and their goal is, after all, your money, and not the desire to deprive you of plans and strategies.

If you feel that “something is going wrong” in your life and the reason is gambling, then quit it.

There are some helplines to call, depression combined with gambling addiction is already a serious case. Some people who are like this on the news end up taking their lives because of debts and gambling.

Every gambler here knows the feeling when they chase their loss and keep wagering in haste because they wanna win back. Some of them only stopped when their money was all gone. When it's all gone, that's when depression hits harder.

Gambling is very dangerous when it is uncontrollable but the only option to overcome this urge is to make personal decisions and keep to it this is the only way stay from addiction. I think if you can make decisions from  playing gambling it will really help well. Addiction is something that does not go off from people immediately, that is why even if you try to reduce the way you play gambling you will still see yourself playing gambling uncontrollable.  You just need to forget about playing gambling and with time you will get rid of addiction but in the case you still go back to  continue with gambling you will keep on struggling with addiction that can of problem to you financially and mentally.  

If you take gambling as a way of making money you just have to stop and look for something else that can generate income for you, this will help you out from depression.

Absolutely mate we are all know that everyone of us here don't let us happen. Cause when depression will attack on us then we can not control ourselves so we need to be more careful nowadys like in gambling once we are in the addicted mode then there's a possibility that we can not control ourselves and let us to become losser cause the more we put in our mind that gambling can makes us rich so still many gamblers will stay.

[DubemIfedigbo001]

it's simple....but without self determination, it's the hardest decisions to make.... everything lies in your mind and how disciplined you may become.. embark on a daily record-taking routine - which would mostly be about 'how much lose over how much gain' you've made already..

Its obvious from his statements that bro its losing like a fool, and he's surely seeking help to reduce the way he engages in it.
I have an advise for OP, in fact this is what helped me back then in 2017 when my addiction was getting seriously out of hand. I decide for how long I don't want to engage in gambling, maybe 2 days maximum for a start. I will play a game that will span throughout those days and refuse to play another one until the games are exhausted. Now, during the days of the gameplay, I distanced myself from betting sites and my friends that will tell me the outcomes of games I played in the coupon. To substitute for the gambling time, I started reading motivational books which helped me remove my mind from visiting the bookies. To stop one habit, you need to replace it with a new one.

This now boils down to the fact that you need to change your friends that are addicted just like you, you cannot be trying to change and still fully associate yourself with your do alikes. This might bring issues between you and your friends, but bro, you're saving yourself and you offer nobody apologies for desiring a better life. For you to seek help indicates your willingness to change. Change is a slow and steady process, follow the process with dedication and you'll come back here with your testimony.

There is no quick way to control your desire to gamble. All methods are done slowly and gradually when you are in a situation of addiction. The casino only does marketing by offering various promotions to attract people to play. The player when playing for the first time must remember that the casino will never lose.
This thought must be remembered by the player from the start onwards so that the player can be said to be playing consciously because in gambling there are only two choices, winning and losing. Make a lot of money and lose a lot of money.

[salad daging]

This kind of thoughts is gone crazy if you take gambling as source of income. Whatever statistics or strategy do you make there will be higher chance that you still loss, especially on common games like dice, slots, etc. You could always think there's a manipulation going when you loss. Unlike if you are in sports betting. Where the points of team or individuals are the one who is going to decide for the win, although it's not always the case.

Obviously this is the wrong thought when there is a gambler hoping as a source of income, this will cause a lot of problems especially in terms of their finances that there are only new problems that keep coming if someone hopes on gambling.

The gambling games you mentioned are clearly in favor of luck, there is no strategy that can be claimed correctly, except for sports betting, there is still a chance of winning if you analyze the team, so if the general game is enough to make fun when there is cold money.

I don't know, it turns out that there are still many people hoping beyond reason and a little crazy on the source of income in this gambling will not change anything that continues to lose. - Smart gambler: Losing is not a problem, winning is a bonus for them.

Please, bro, you are taking this too far, "unaliving"? No, that shouldn't be, you are talking as if you are too rooted in gambling, but all for losses, it is you who will have to change the narrative. It might have started by you starting gambling on the wrong footing by not understanding what gambling is, the good and ills attached to it but started all the same. Gambling is never for the faint in heart and this is why I like to advise people that they should get themselves familiar with it and know some evils that can come from it, and also know the ways to guard against the evil before engaging in it. But many think it is not necessary as gambling is just a way to make money but this is wrong as many might want to make money in it but almost all will never be able to make the money and even lose more than their money in some cases just like yourself.

You are losing it already, but as it is now, it is never too late, and I advise you to take a break from gambling immediately without thinking twice. You do not need it right now, trust me, all you need is a fresh breath and a new start, you need to absolutely clear your head. If you force it and continue like this to the extent of thinking about harming yourself, I pray that such will not happen. You can talk to some people offline about how you feel now, it could be family and/or friends or anyone in the field related to mental state, and they might be able to help you as well. As for the gambling house allegation, they are not using any spirits, it is a matter of mental state and addiction, if you are not careful, it will control you especially if you do not have the strong Willpower to fight back or stop it outrightly.

stop betting if you have lost control and immediately avoid gambling if you feel such anxiety.
I'm sure you just feel anxious and uncomfortable with your gambling activities and as a healthy gambler will never worry about anything even if he loses money because he already understands the risks but if you feel everything is bad it's better for you to immediately leave gambling for a few days or even longer to avoid these distractions.

according to my assessment, OP has anxiety related to his gambling activities and try to find someone you trust, tell him all the complaints you are experiencing and ask for help with a solution to your problem.
I'm afraid anxiety is bad in the long run.

[ryzaadit]

Hey, feel bad mate. Have you tried these
- Join your family
- Tell your story
- Trying to accept the reality and don't think about your past gambling
- All of your financial, should be take care by someone on your family
- Limit your spending everyday.

These should be needed around 3-6 month without gambling. It's hard, but should try these otherwise you will keep betting chasing the amount you are losing or you won on the past (with condition, never getting chase).

If you are really that serious on quitting then you should do work hard for it or would really be that meaning it because if you do have those kind of quitting mindset but you dont really make actions through it
then you would really be that still ending up on doing on the same thing on which this is something that must be avoided in the first place. This is why it would really be that best that you should really act
accordingly and would really be thinking up well on what are the things that you must do for you to be able to quit up,or else you would really be ending up on a disaster on which your financial
condition would be mainly be affected. There are really people who could be able to get out and there are ones who cant.

This is why it would be always best that if you do saw yourself into that verge of extreme addiction, then act fast and wise that trying out to avoid into those things
on which it is really that must to be avoided.
