GAMBLING DISORDER

[Mr.suevie]

There is no way out if you have a symptomatic problem, therefore knowing what the diagnosis is allows for recovery.

Any gambler regardless of his condition of success or failure can fall from grace, but only the mentally healthy recovers, these stages happen, and are intrinsic to the gambling.

Therapy, depending on that your solution will be a complete recovery, but surely getting away from the game will be your happiness.

Oh, sometimes even a mentally healthy person has difficulty coping with such a problem. Not everything is so simple and unambiguous. What can I advise those people who are subject to such changes? There is no need to solve the problem yourself if it is at an advanced stage. Spare no expense and contact a specialist so that he can begin to deal with this whole matter in the right way. This requires the right approach to business, and not withdrawal into oneself. This is all quite serious.

Being addicted to gambling is one thing another is agreeing that you are an addict because I have seen lots of deranged gamblers battle their addiction problem by themselves thinking that they can actually find a way to stop it and I don't know why these person always keeping such things to their self, if you are an addicted gambler and find it difficult to convey your problems to person then finding a way to solve it would be a problem because an addict dies faster when he keep his issues to himself.

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.

Sometimes some things appear to be abnormal in the eyes of many, but when you look deep down, you will notice that they are just normal actions that could be controlled and prevented if one focuses and channels their energy somewhere else.
 
In your case, I will tell you for free that there is no form of spirituality attached to casinos, but the only form of manipulation that is happening here is between you and your mindset, on which you need to focus and work upon yourself in order to get yourself out of it.

The best thing I will advise you to do is to limit the kind of gambling or game conversation you engage in and try as much as you can to have more social interaction with people in order to get your mind distracted.

While reading through your comments I was like wow. There are a lot of true talks in this comment, I haven't come across your comments or threads before but today I did and I think I would be trying hard to read them through when ever I come across one.

Gambling is not a thing one would take serious because of one do so, the gambler will end up losing everything he or she have and also become addicted to it.
Truly there is no spirituality in gambling, a story I heard from people about a gambler who went and fortified him self and gamble then he still end up losing everything he has and go back home empty handed. However some people who beliefs in spiritual things will want to think that one can succeed in gamble when he spiritually.

This must be our mindset cause everything in this world is temporary so meaning once we are involve in gambling and become an addict then it's better to get out or find a way how to get out on gambling. We need to enjoy our life  don't need to focus on gambling there are many good things around us . But as we all know that once a gambling getting addict it's hard to say that he can overcome or get out to addiction very easy cause it's very hard to leave gambling once you are an addict.

the question you should ask yourself is if their is another thing that gives you joy outside of gambling. The only reason why you could be facing this situation is possibly because you don't have a serious job you're doing they is taking a good amount of your time if not you wouldn't even have that time to think on making it a must that you have to recover a money that is lost in the process of gambling.

It's a bad habit and you have to discipline yourself to know that gambling isn't a job and you shouldn't expect that you are always going to double your money after you've placed any bet. as a matter of fact, the best way to gamble is to do it at your own pace, financial strength and convenience. once you are going about gambling as though your financial success depends on it, you've successfully endangered yourself to becoming a serious addict.

sometimes people with this gambling disorder have to find themselves rock bottom before they can realize though. since he posted the thread i think he already had realized. maybe all he needs is another habit to replace gambling. 

if he is doing it at crypto casino, the temptation is going to be a lot harder to fight it if he sees the casinos all the time. he needs someone in the house with him to keep him company to remind him every time.

I guess I can't understand why someone would do something that continues to be a bad time for them.  If you're at the point where you're considering suicide over the vehicle of entertainment you've chosen then do yourself a favor and find some other form of entertainment.  Gaming using a game console isn't all that much different from gambling and you can't lose money (other than wasting it on in game items maybe).  I think finding a form of entertainment you can enjoy and a separate form of employment will work wonders for you.  Gambling isn't a job and I think that's where you're making your mistake.

One of the reasons I think is because of the inability to accept the fact that they lost, usually this is the starting point for a gambler to act out of control and out of his ability and this happens as a result of the urge for recovery, this is why we must have a correct understanding of gambling along with agreeing with ourselves consciously about the basic concept of gambling which is that gambling is a for-profit activity, meaning that anything can happen, you can get the victory you want but on the other hand you are also very likely to lose.

But it is a fact that most gamblers cannot apply the right understanding of gambling to themselves, usually this happens to those who are too focused on the chances of winning so as to ignore the possible risks that are clearly inseparable in gambling. On the other hand it is ridiculous for someone to lose the will to live, I understand it is a situation that makes you feel significant pressure, but however your life is far more important than anything, I think there are still many other options they can do to overcome the problem by seeking some help from psychological experts to correct and straighten out the mindset, after that as you suggested by diverting the mind to other things such as playing games or adding part-time job activities, the point is to divert to something that is quite fun but does not involve risk.

No, they need professional help, if they depend on an external source to control their gambling, whether that help comes in the form of a family member, friend or a self-exclusion system implemented by a casino, sooner or later those systems will fail and then they will gamble once again, what they need to do is to find the inner strength to stop gambling, and most often this means receiving therapy and even medication to control their urges to gamble.

Gambling is not a job, if Op is taking it as one, he's making a huge mistake, but if he got to this stage of gambling out of ignorance, I think moving away from his current location would do. Hardly will he change in that same place, as his body and brain have adapted to playing gambling in that region. People dealing with any sort of gambling disorder can easily travel to visit friends who engage in other activities. Which can distract his interest in gambling for a reasonable period. When he gets back to his home, they'll be a difference. Gambling activities can be continued, but it will never be like before. Because he has somehow gained control over himself, during the days he was not participating in the game. Hence, as gamblers being conscious of oneself is required. The ability to determine what works with you and how beneficial it is in making life changes.

Because whatever therapy that is given to people it works differently for everyone. There are people even when they travel would look for a place to wager bet. Since the online platform allows for a personal gambling experience. It should be used to an advantage of doing what we know how to deal with its addiction. The whole control is on the human brain. People who struggle to change actually, needs to be talked out of it. As the thought of gambling has scavenged a reasonable amount of their thinking. So, Op needs help not an instruction or advice alone. He needs to tell close friends about his trouble. Their actions towards it could save the Op from undergoing such problem gambling.

A lot of replies already, but I felt it important to chime in.  First off take a deep breath and understand that there is absolutely a light at the end of the tunnel.  Typically people have to hit rock bottom before they can "clean" themselves up.  If you're truly ready for change, then it's time to seek professional help.  There are a lot of free gambling addiction websites, as well as going to see a counselor could be a great way to get back on the right path.

I truly wish you the best of luck!

Gambling need to have the survival to the next game,because the players may lose the capital at the initial stage.The gamblers who survive for the longer period able to get huge win in the gambling site.The gamblers should accept the minimum profit from their initial,based on their rank in the gambling site.The gambling site help the gamblers to win based on their knowledge and experience with the particular game.The gamblers who can make good profit from their game should withdraw the funds at the right time.If the gamblers fail to withdraw their funds,the negative impact will get all your capital at the end.

that's true, because we as a family really have to direct our family members to good things, because it's impossible for the family to let us go if we take risky actions, but I think when the family has directed it or advised it often but the person doesn't change then the family will also give up and let him feel the impact himself, and maybe that is the only way for them to come to their senses on their own. It's true what you said, we have to invite him to do other things that are more useful, because getting used to something is not easy, so we can invite him occasionally.

even so, I don't think it will be easy, because people who are addicted to gambling will of course continue to gamble as they please and most likely won't care about anything else, therefore I think if it is difficult then there is nothing wrong with a little force because that is also for their own good. I hope that for those who are addicted to gambling, the family can do their best to cure them. because I don't think the family will just leave one of their family members alone, because of course they don't want anything bad to happen to their family members.

At least we are responsible with our family members by always teaching them good things so they don't go down the wrong path and can live well. By getting closer to our relationship with other family members, we can provide a good emotional bond so that if they accidentally do something that is not good, we can feel it and ask them about it. There must be someone who can be a bridge for family members so that if something happens, they can immediately lend a hand to help and perhaps find a solution.

Yes, it's not easy because when a family member often gambles, he will hide his gambling activities so that other family members don't know so he can gamble freely. But because of our emotional closeness to those family members, we can feel changes in them, so we can ask about them and find out what's wrong with them. At least if they want to talk about it, they will come to us and tell us about their problems so that we can immediately provide help and find a solution. Finding a solution in the form of inviting them to do other things that have nothing to do with gambling will make them trust us and try to follow what we say. This will help them to reduce their gambling activities because they see that there are family members who are serious about helping them try to reduce their gambling activities.

In my opinion, it is the hope of all families to want all their family members to live successfully and well, therefore I think families will do their best and support each other. I agree with your preference, because family is the most comfortable home and it is a comfort that is incomparable, also with family it is the most valuable asset so as much as possible we must be able to interpret gambling which is actually not a place to make money so that it doesn't harm us also our family.

That's for sure, because I don't think most families will be able to accept that one of their family members is addicted to gambling, it's possible that if they find out they might cry, be disappointed or maybe even angry. that's true but as you said if they want to say it, because in my opinion those who are addicted to gambling certainly won't easily talk about their gambling habits, because they know this is a bad thing so it's impossible to just talk about it, but even so, sooner or later of course the family they will find out about their gambling habits because of changes in attitude or other aspects.

Gambling disorder is not a disease diagnosed by any doctor. It's a disease you can inflict on yourself and later seek for help and advice from people and psychologist. The best way to escape from gambling disorder is by totally exempt yourself from anything gambling discussion. By targing it a virus that want to end your life. By so doing it becomes irritating to you whenever you encounter it. And use you time more frequently for other meaningful things that will keep your mind away from it.

It is the hope of everyone who wants to see their family live comfortably and prosperously. They will try their best, help and support each other so that each person will protect and look after other family members and warn them if one of the family members has done something that could cause problems. And if one of the family members experiences a problem, they will try to find a way out so they can solve the problem. If someone gambles, they will also warn him, monitor him, and ask him to leave gambling before they experience worse problems.

If there is a family member who is addicted to gambling, they will immediately help him and find a way out so that the family member who is addicted to gambling can recover quickly and will not gamble again because he has had a bad experience. And if family members hide their gambling activities until they become addicted to gambling, other family members will know about it. They will not let it go too long so that the family member who is addicted to gambling can be cured.

what you do is "stop gambling immediately" you can come back when your finances have recovered, it has nothing to do with spirituality, it's better to forget about gambling and look for work, slowly your life will improve

[lizarder]

what you do is "stop gambling immediately" you can come back when your finances have recovered, it has nothing to do with spirituality, it's better to forget about gambling and look for work, slowly your life will improve

It would be much better if someone could stop and return when he had more money to gamble. The biggest problem for those who are addicted to almost no way to stop because spirituality about gambling will affect psychological to continue to be in gambling. For those who are not addicted to gambling will be much easier to forget and the rest will be far more difficult to leave gambling for those who are already in the stages of severe addiction.

If someone can forget gambling and find other jobs that are much better will be more useful. Therefore, before being too far involved in gambling, you should use the budget responsibly and if we get defeat in the previous place then stop so as not to affect our finances to be worse.

They will not let it go too long so that the family member who is addicted to gambling can be cured.

That's right, the family certainly won't let one of their family members experience something bad, so they will probably help as much as possible to overcome problems that happen to one of their family members. because family is the most valuable thing, and a good family will of course pay attention to each other, and also remember each other. including gambling, if one of their family members is addicted to gambling then I don't think they will just stay silent. Also, if I find that one of my family members is addicted to gambling, of course I will tell him about the effects and so on.

of course helping each other is what must be done in a family, because one person who is addicted to gambling can of course have an impact on the whole family, including family relationships, a family can be destroyed because of one person who is addicted to gambling, therefore it is more either tell it or direct it to things that have a positive side. Gambling is not always beautiful because sometimes it can also bring disaster. because prevention is better than cure.

As family members, we will want to encourage the family member who is addicted to gambling to be able to cure his gambling addiction because it can have a bad impact on him and his family. It was like when a man advised his younger cousin, who had already become an alcoholic. He never gave up trying to convince his younger brother to stop drinking alcohol and took him to a rehabilitation center. After inviting his younger brother for some time, his younger brother finally agreed to follow his older brother's advice, and now he has recovered from his alcohol addiction.

That is why, as a family member, we need to pay attention to other family members so that if their behavior starts to be different from usual, we can ask them directly what is happening to them. And before things change and get worse, we still have time to help him and encourage him to get out of his gambling addiction. This may be difficult because bringing awareness to people who are already addicted, whatever the addiction, will not be easy. Maybe more people are needed to help make him aware of his gambling addiction problem so that he can slowly become aware of his gambling activities, which have turned into a gambling addiction.

..)/:::: you've successfully endangered yourself to becoming a serious addict.

I would never qualify anyone on nuances, whether or not they are addicted to gambling.I don't understand what you mean by "a serious addict."

There are many addictions through which we as individuals can fall, but it is like cancer, not everyone dies, some are saved and others who thought they were healthy relapse and die.  Comparative at the limit, but as a psychologist will tell you.

One of the ways to help someone suffering from addiction is to help them find a specialist, a professional who can guide them and help them find the path to healing, even with medications and therapy.

Many terms used like the title of this thread, but they do not have to be related to addiction, the player goes through these stages in his playing process, it is an activity that requires mental and physical training, you have to eat well, sleep, etc.

So, if you are not aware of these things you are a player prone to these shortcomings.

No, they need professional help, if they depend on an external source to control their gambling, whether that help comes in the form of a family member, friend or a self-exclusion system implemented by a casino, sooner or later those systems will fail and then they will gamble once again, what they need to do is to find the inner strength to stop gambling, and most often this means receiving therapy and even medication to control their urges to gamble.

Yes, most likely that will be the case of the majority here, hitting rock bottom before they can realized that gambling is going to ruined their lives. So they better snap back and go back to reality and realized that gambling should not be the one to dictate everything for them. Gamblers can voluntarily give up, called self-exclusion, but it will take a lot from them. But first the OP should acknowledge that he has a gambling disorder, and then seek help from within his family and go to professionals for medical help. It's important to understand that overcoming a gambling problem takes time and commitment to the gamblers.
