If a addict lives within, which method would you choose to help them

[Oilacris]

The first approach would be the best in my opinion. You can’t force a person to stop gambling if they are already addicted. If the pressure becomes too much, they may gamble behind your back or cut your off from their lives. To quit an addiction, the addict has to first come to terms with the reality that he has a gambling problem. Conversations with family members and loved ones will help the person deal with their problem.

But at least you are trying out to help them or give out advises but somewhat its true on what you have said that it would really be that still depending with their own self realizations.
We do know that there would really be that sense of responsibility on the time that they would really be doing gambling. Now that if its one of the family members had fall down into such addiction
then this is where they would really be making themselves that doing those impulsive things on which it would really be that become the result on messing up your life with.
As part of the family then it would really be just that right that you should really be helping them at least since its our family.

If I have an addict that stays around me and I want to help him, i will first attack his mentality towards and about gambling.

There are obvious stories about gambling that he might not have heard about, I will even create negative imaginations about the downsides of gambling and next will be to engage him as a form of distraction from the regular gambling activities.

It's definitely not as simple as you think. Your approach could drive them into a frenzy making matters worse which is why this isn't the most efficient strategy and I am speaking from experience.

A calm and patient approach is required to deal with such addicts in my opinion. Think!

I don't think there is anything wrong with that approach. Most of the time, you can play with people's minds with words and stories which might change their perspective towards certain things because human psychology can be changed by someone who understands these things. People who study human psychology can easily change your mind with their words and verbal techniques and you won't even realize that they have just tricked you.

So not seeing this from a negative point of view, I think trying to change one's mindset and perspective towards gambling might help them get away from the addiction, and when it comes to verbal techniques, it isn't the same as forcing someone to get away from gambling physically or using forceful words.

I think this method can also be another alternative by providing good suggestions and input to change their mindset to be healthier. Sometimes we actually know that the problem of people who are addicted to gambling lies in their mindset, most of them think that gambling is a place to seek wealth online. instant, therefore they continue to pursue consciously to gain victory and wealth, but because the level of difficulty is very high they are trapped and become addicted to gambling.

If that happened to my family, of course this method can be done because in a gentle way it will definitely be successful in changing their mindset. If you suppress it with force, it is also not completely successful, although there are a few that are successful, but it will definitely leave a mark on their mentality, this method is actually more useful to me. I also recommend it because mindset is important, as I usually use the mindset that gambling is a place to look for fun and entertainment, nothing more than that, that's why I don't get addicted to gambling easily because I play responsibly. One thing that must be understood is that playing gambling responsibly will not make people addicted to gambling.

Helping others in anything that leads to goodness is always recommended especially in helping them to get out of the addiction zone, I understand that addiction is a very difficult disease to overcome because it involves a person's mindset that is wrong in viewing gambling, And of course as you said that even if you provide help to them in any way such as through a suggestion it is still very unlikely in the end that there will be a change for the better if it is very difficult for them to reach their level of awareness because as I said above that this disease lies in a person's mindset, even though in general according to normal people it is wrong but according to them it is normal and this is what makes it difficult for them to reach their awareness.

If this addiction is owned by one of your family then obviously the family is the first to help them to get out of this bad addiction phase, and on the other hand because usually the closest people especially family have a considerable influence on them and I think at least with this they will be more able to listen and consider various suggestions that come from their family members to be able to achieve awareness and change mindset.

Sometimes it is not easy to get out of an addiction problem as it is Believed , or as they say, yes, in part the Person who suffers from the Addiction has to put in his full Effort and will so that his things can see that addiction is a problem that It has to Affect that person and those around them, that one's own will to be cured is essential for that morale to be very high, but in part what must be done is that the people Around them can have a lot to do with it. What they can do for them , forExample a parent who goes to a psychologist can help a person a lot in that sense, not only can sometimes you get out of it, the people who are all the time looking for a way to Overcome this have to have help, sometimes they need someone's push to get out of what they are in , we as People who are intelligent, why should we see the niche of the rpobelma from every point of View , we Know that the will is Something that is must have , but its own to Review Everything that the treatment can generate.

People who are very Addicted lose their self-esteem , lose their security and Sometimes lose Sense of responsibility by indulging in addiction, who knows who is to blame? Is it the casinos fault? No, it's not the fault of the case or the game, that's primarily the addiction because the person allows it to happen, because they don't know how to stop themselves and put the most important things before their life, nor does a person who needs it have to do so much. your money in a casino, because it is something that is not viable, so in this order of ideas things should not be seen in that sense I was able to say that when we are looking for more ways to overcome things, an addicted Person sometimes needs good advice from a friend, good treatment, for the person to Recover psychologically from what they are suffering from, to get back to it,  his confidence and his way of solving problems.

It's never easy to get out, and we could even ask a question if there's a choice involved. When people are sick and have fever, we rarely blame them for being sick. Addiction is a sickness as well why would we treat them any different? But finding the blame is what humans tend to do, as they see this an issue with someone doing something wrong from their own free will. You are spot on that treatment is necessary, because these people need help. They obviously can't just snap out of it or they would have already done it. Reasoning addict can be very frustrating because they are not following same rules, and often have delusions of grandeur about their own capabilities and future.

Well, whenever it comes to doing things well, one knows that something as delicate as addiction must be treated quickly and urgently and without waiting too long, but with immediate attention, that is something that we should know, of course we What we will always think is that the best thing is to go to a psychologist and if the addiction is strong, then very big measures have to be taken, as has been done on other occasions, things must be treated urgently, it is not to be thought that this will be It heals alone, because the more time passes, the greater the degree of complexity there is, so when we are thinking about doing different things, we must be very clear that things are different, for me the best thing that can be done It is treating the addiction quickly, because the addiction not only takes away your money, it also leaves you without friends, without family, and with nothing, in truth that is one of the bears that have the most bad reaction, so no one with the addiction should treat it Immediately, do not think about what is going to happen, because the most important thing is to heal.

When we see a person who suffers from a gambling addiction, it is difficult, both for that person and the family. If the person does not have a family, we have to emphasize that things will always need to be treated quickly, there is no other way. , we are people who must always do the best possible for everything, in this order of days if we concentrate on doing any thing, it does not matter if the solution for an addicted person is for him to do sleep cures , when someone is very bad, well That can be a solution because it calms you down and takes away your Anxiety You shouldn't do anything unless you are clear about what you are suffering from, so any measure that is taken is good, of course without affecting the mental health of the person , always the integrity and growth of the person should not be affected.

As a member of a family and there is a gambling addict within, which method do you think it's the best to rip off the addict from your family member?

1. Talk to them and don't leave their side for too long, show them some love and make sure they don't have anything to do with gambling ever again, be soft and gentle with them.

2. Be harsh about it, force them to quit, let them know that gambling isn't this safe, bounce on them all the time because you love them, don't go any soft on them, because been soft won't make them see reasons why it's bad to be a gambling addict.

Which do you think it's best? Some people do think that been soft and gentle will be more effective and some people think that been harder on them is the real love here, they need to make them stop by force.
 
What do you think?

It depends on the character of the person, there are persons you can persuade by being soft and understanding and there are people you can persuade by being harder on them so it's a case-to-case basis when dealing with a person who is addicted to gambling.

But it is better to let the professional do their things, some gamblers are deceptive they will say they are going to stop but when you're not looking they'll still play, and they are good at concealing their behavior and where and when they are playing.

So it is better that a real doctor who deals with gambling addiction deal with this person because they spent years of training to communicate with these compulsive gamblers, our responsibility is to lead them here and urge them to consult.

The severity of an addiction has a maximum limit, in my opinion. and once the addiction reaches that point, it won't go any further, however, the effects it has won't get lower with time and the person will keep feeding the addiction until it's cured.

An addiction can only be treated quickly if the person getting addicted acknowledges it before it gets too severe, and if they don't do it, someone close to them should realize that they are addicted to a certain thing and if it isn't controlled quickly, it can keep getting stronger until it reaches a point from where it will become extremely difficult to get out. Once the realization is done, then they can think of ways that can be used to treat the addiction.

If the addiction is already deep it's best to have a specialist to look at it and assess if what kind of approach is needed to work with the case of that person, I guess the only thing that can be done is to try to talk and see if the person can still help himself, though like what you mentioned, it's more on how close you are with the person and how you think his appreciation after showing him your care. If he take it as for his own good then chances to push the help can make things change for betterment but if not, expect the need of professional to assist.

[Blitzboy]

I think understanding and support are more important than harshness. Key? Open, heartfelt discussions. We can give a healing safety net by supporting and never straying.

But this doesnt mean ignoring gambling's perils. Education and guidance, not control. I support setting boundaries and expectations while being supportive. Gambling responsibly can be fun, but addiction must be identified and treated.

Together, compassion and firm supervision can help people recover. Balance: providing a hand yet being clear on the line. This approach makes addiction recovery safer while recognizing responsible gambling as leisure.

As much as possible then you should really be helping them out specially if its part of the family. As much as possible we should really be helping them and made them realize that the thing that they are currently doing
is bad but i do agree into those points that if things already worst and not something that cant be solved out with some simple talks and advises then this is the time that you would really be considering on looking for
some professional help and this is something that should really be done. We cant really just that let them on facing up that problem along specially if its a family member. We do love them and we cant just
afford on seeing them into such bad situation because we know that gambling addiction is something that could end up on miserable life.

Unless if you are really that someone who doesnt really care and just mind on your own business then you wont really be having no time on telling on things that they should gonna do.
It would really be that impossible that you could turn back yourself on them and i could tell it to myself.

I agree with this. This may be the main step in guiding and pursuing a person who is a gambling addict, but what if, no matter how gentle and supportive you are, it still doesn't work? What I mean is that harshness can be a last result in a form of rehabilitation. For example, it may hurt the person who is addicted, but the point is that you come up with that solution because the person is beyond help and cannot be helped in a good and gentle manner. I personally focus more on becoming harsh, especially with my friends. If I know and notice that they are emerging from gambling, then I will be glad to slap them with harsh words in order for them to wake up from what they are doing wrong, but of course I still control and am not overboard with my words to them. I want to help them not to hurt them.

Well, sometimes the truth is better and there are people who like receiving harsh advice like that rather than having a boring heartfelt discussion.
That's why I told you in my first post here that it will depend on how close you are to that gambling addict and how you treat each other.
Imagine if one friend who is known to be a direct talker, of facts, and the truth, suddenly becomes a friend who will be in serious heart-to-heart discussion. I bet the listener will be shocked by that and he might as well just cover his ears because that ain't him.

So, there's really no good answer here and we have different approaches to different people that we meet especially if it's within our family.
In my case, I am a different guy when I am in front of my uncles and aunts because we are used to just having serious discussions but I am vice versa when I am with my close friends. I get to be talkative, full of curse words, and I laugh all the time like everything is a joke for us.
Those who know the gambler could help but I still suggest being real in front of him because if they feel that we pity them, then I bet they will not listen to us.

In my opinion, the character of the person does not matter reasons being that the gambler is an adult and it is believed that he is gambling with his money so you don't force an adult to do or stop something whether he is a family member or not does not matter. The best option is to talk to them politely and make them see the reasons why they shouldn't continue gambling. It is a matter of being able to convince them not to gamble again and not trying to exhibit control by forcing them not to. The truth is you will only trigger anger and not solve the problem if you try to force them.

Once the realization is done, then they can think of ways that can be used to treat the addiction.

Well, I have always talked about addiction with the sleep cure option because a friend's mother had great stress at work, it was something that was so strong that she went to the psychologist, they sent her to a doctor and then she They did the sleep cure as therapy, and that was only for stress, now if stress is something I think is more harmless than an addiction like gambling, if this is applied to an addict because it cannot be controlled, I believe that I try to calm down a little, that is something that we must see and agree that it is what must be done and that it helps to make anything better, that is something that not everything can do, but in itself I think that this strategy or technique is very efficient At the medical level, I don't know how they will tell you, but I think that things can be seen like this. In another order of things, I think that it is an Addiction Depending on its degree , because it must be the treatment, what happens is that knowledge of measurements only in I don't Know that part, because it Already has to do with behaviors and personality.

Now, things can be Different , Seen from another point of view, when they can be treated without a lot of money, that is , because People do not have that much Money , they Should make other Options , but I think the healthiest will be when we can do other things. ., like doing sports, looking for ways to do things better with actions such as going for a walk , going for a coffee or watching movies, something like that can be done to Avoid Spending money on these Treatments, but the Person should be rvery Conscientious and do the kinds of things and the expenses that are due, because if you fell into addiction you must move quickly to do things, I Personally will always think that things are Better that way and that way you have much better Ways of controlling Everything , that is why things should always be done better under any Circumstance , and that it does not have many Repercussions.

Yeah right,  the way you approach and the way you deliver your speech will have different impact to the person you are speaking to,  I get your point and it's valid since there are different types of people and their take regarding to what you want to deliver might be different from how you want them to adopt your concerns,  though sometimes it's better to be direct to the point and let your own emotions to flow and leave it to the person if how they will take it.

The only thing that you want is to address and help them to solve the issue, it's up to them to work on it and to try helping themselves.

[Mia Chloe]

Living with a gambling addict can be frustrating however a lot of persons actually make the mistake of being hard on them and trying to isolate themselves from them. However it isn't supposed to be so. Of course addiction is a bad thing but love and compassion overtime helps gambling addicts get over their addictions.

It can also be very challenging to try to draw an addict close to yourself but trust me it is the best thing to do as pushing them away makes them feel more lonely and having reasons to gamble more often than normal which not good for their wellbeing.

Of course all cases are different, but i`m sure that love and compassion are the worst thing we can give the gambling addict in the start. First of all he must understand that he made his life awful himself and decide to change his life himself. Only after it we can give him some love. But we must be careful with love - it can destroy all the results.

I can only do number one on the list as number two could be a little bit offensive or provocative as we all know that people are not the same as others who will just listen to us so I don't think there is a need for us to be harsh to gambling addicts. They might listen to us on this but expect that it' on them if they absorb what we advice them.

Whether they would be absorbing or would really be hearing out those advises or not and it would really be that something that will really be that depending
on the person that had been that affected by gambling addiction on which we know that it would really be that always important that you should really be
that be a little gentle with such approach on telling this and telling that. Make them realize that the things that they've been doing were wrong and its not really something recommended. Addicted
people wont really be that easily believe on someones words even if we do say that someone is really that part of the family but well we wont really be able to know unless we do try.

What do you think?

not sure if my answer has ever answered first but in my opinion the two options are suitable to be used to help families who are addicted only we have to see how the condition of the addict.
If indeed a gambling addict is able to have changes with the first option by providing gentle support and using words that can penetrate their minds and encourage their minds to continue to avoid gambling slowly and if it works well it would be better for the first option to be maintained and Increased by several aspects.

but if a gambling addict has been given assistance with the first option but in a few days it has given an increase in avoiding gambling and in a few months it seems not gambling but apparently silently still made a bet, I think the second option must be done in the sense of not being too rough using physical but enough with harsh words to push his mind even deeper so that it is really depressed and eliminating the desire to gamble.

this is all just about the two options but actually there are many more ways to help families who have the habit of gambling but from the 2 options have represented everything and can be applied to different conditions.
