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

[Crypt0Gore]

I understand why people won't want to be harsh with their loved ones but it should depend on the person, some people are good at listening and correcting themselves, you don't have to take it hard on them, while some people don't listen easily, they don't take words of others very seriously, such people needs extra correction, if harsh is necessary you should use it, like I've said it depends on the person who is addicted to gambling.

Some people are too stubborn that they only listen to the words of very few numbers of people, if such people can be found, you can advise them to speak with the addicted gambler, maybe he will reason the whole thing since the advice is coming from those he respected more.

Some gamblers can't be changed though, even if they leave gambling for few years they will always be back, until they are in a very messy state they won't know and accept that they are doing everything wrong, gambling can easily mess with you, it's left for you to beat the addiction.

I will do everything for the family so I will help Him/Her in every possible ways and even to
spend my last penny just to help them leave gambling addiction , actually we in family are intact so I think
this will never happen to us but if by any case that one of the family member will be involve in such a way
then the family is full force to support and find ways to make things better.

That's good, friend, if you want to do that, it means you are a person who really cares and won't let anyone in your family get addicted to gambling because in many cases gambling addiction can make someone commit a crime or act that is detrimental to themselves. I've seen my neighbor's child become an addict. gambling where his family really tried to cure him of gambling so he was locked up in his room without internet and cell phone, I know it was an act of torture against him but maybe I should understand that his family was doing it for his good so it had to be a little harsh.

But there are also gambling addicts who can be advised in a gentler way depending on the person, if those with a high level of gambling addiction are usually quite difficult to cure, in fact they will ignore advice from anyone including their family, therefore it depends on the level of addiction, if the level is low it is usually easy. to be advised so that he can be immediately cured of his bad habits and gambling addiction, namely by advising him to reduce his gambling activities permanently and remain responsible when gambling.

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?

The first approach should be a lenient and soft one. You have to speak to the person and inquire what are the triggers of addictive gambling. At this stage, there should be a discussion or dialogue between you and the person which will lead to counseling based on what you have discovered. A peaceful and respectful discussion will enable you to identify the person's problem and also devise viable means of handling the situation.

Taking more drastic actions could come in if you observed that the counsel was not effective. You don't need to insult or attack the gambler but close supervision could be a good option. You will have to closely monitor the person's financial transactions to ascertain the level of gambling addiction. If the person is a dependent actions like reduction or control of financial assistance could be effective. Seeking professional help could also be an option if the first strategy failed. But you cannot force an adult who is not depending on you for finance to stop gambling. You can only advise and also suggest to them to seek assistance.

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.

I mean if they are already an addict that's is for sure going to be difficult because if you're already a gambling addict you already deep on it and In my opinion all of the things that you have said are not going to work if that is just what you're going to do, however, if you're just talking about the method of being harsh or soft for sure the best way to do here is just be soft show some low and make them feel that you are on their side at this situation even though it is probably going to be a huge journey for them.

There's probably no way to help them unless they are the ones that are going to decide that they dont want it anymore, all of the addicts that I know want to stop but they just can't stop because it's not that easy, and it's a long process. It would take commitment and process in order to fix their problem probably better to undergo a certain program where you slowly fix things, like slowly reducing your gambling until you completely get rid of it. Still, I just dont see how using force is going to be a good way of helping them since it might just lead to a bigger issue in the future.

If that were to happen to me, I might employ the first method because, in that case, I could approach the problem with empathy and gradually demonstrate to the family member that I care about both their physical and mental well-being. I believe I should make an effort to comprehend him or her and have an honest discussion with them about how addiction has affected their lives. If the initial approach remains ineffective, it may be appropriate to seek assistance from professionals to help him or her clarify their current circumstances. Since we might be able to support them emotionally during their recovery as family members in this way, And if he/she is already open to it, perhaps I can help them accept responsibility for their deeds by suggesting that they establish reasonable objectives in order to get out of the situation they are in. After all, conquering addiction is a difficult process, and patience is crucial. It may take some time, but the most crucial thing is that you can see that a tiny progress is being made.

The first solution, if you plan to be by side all the time with a gambling addict, keep in mind that it's only helpful if you have a lot of time and can dedicate the whole day to being with them. However, if you stay on their side for too long, it might irritate them.

The second solution may seem harsh, but sometimes it's more effective to show someone that there are consequences for their gambling behavior. Being firm and setting boundaries can be more impactful than trying to persuade them with kind words, as they may simply ignore you.

[Pmalek]

A combination of 1 and 2 is best in my opinion.

First of all, you can't cure someone from any addiction as long as the person doesn't believe they have a problem. They have to realize what they are doing is wrong and self-destructive before they can receive help. I would introduce a professional into the mix. Someone who knows how to treat gambling addiction and has perfected their methods to cure it. The person should be around family and people that love them. Their days should be filled with work and responsibilities that doesn't give them too much time to think about gambling. Normal hobbies and spending your past-time in a quality way is also essential for successful recovery. 

In the end, it's all about how strong the person is mentally. Gambling addiction is nothing compared to the addictions and sicknesses in this world. If they realize how lucky they are to have friends and family who wish only the best for them, they will do everything necessary to recover. If not...

You have already mentioned 2 ways to try them out and obviously number 1 would be the first preference for anybody.
If the person recovers from the addiction then well and good and otherwise we can try out the 2nd option.
There's no harm in doing anything to recover your close one from gambling addiction.

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.

This method may work if the addict is willing to be helped in the first place.

Majority of these addicts are also individuals who have lost their cause but this may be regained by constant reassurance and support from their immediate family members. If these people believe that the addict can change, then the latter may be more inclined to change in the process.

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.

The result can go either way with this kind of method.

Naturally, addicts use their addiction as an escape to reality. With this on mind, it is essential to first know on why they are addicted in the first place. If they are addicted to gambling due to the sake of making a profit, then this method MAY work. But if the addict uses gambling as a way to escape reality, then this method may not work as effectively.

CONCLUSION:

At the end of the day, there is no iron-rule when it comes to knowing which method to use as this can vary depending on the reason on why these gamblers are addicted to it in the first place.

Understanding them and knowing their situation are key factors into knowing on how you approach them so you could employ methods that can be effective and helpful at the same time.

At the very end it still boils down to the decision of the person with the addiction, because I have seen cases where the gambler in questions get all the above therapy but at the very end of everything he still succumbed to the habit and this is because he lacks the very determination to actually fight against the addicted habits of his and this is very common among many humans but still same I think the both method 1&2 are effective but that's if the person in question too works hard.

[Wiwo]

The thing is that, having an addict as a family member doesn't mean that you can hup into their private life and sometimes it takes an intense pressure before I get involved in other people affairs, this is because gambling addiction is a strong hold and to get out of it requeirs alot from the individual involved who is the victim, because it is his willingness that will grant him the will power to beat the addictions.

For that we have to wait for them to make of their mind to be willing to over come they addictions because that is the only way to get out of that problem at some points.

Yes, you're right it's not easy to get rid of that addiction and others efforts can't do much if the individual isn't willing to leave the addiction himself. It's ones own will power that can stop reduce the intensity of this addiction but sometimes a good advice is very needed to awaken someone's will power and that's why I think it's better to peacefully tell such addicts that how dangerous this addiction is and how much harm it can provide.

In the end it's someone's own will power that can help that person to get rid of the addiction. Getting rid of gambling addiction isn't a child's play because it requires a lot of effort and hard work. The addicts can get rid of it if they develop their own will power and self discipline otherwise it's not easy at all.

This one will not end well if you use this approach. A gambler is supposed to be 18+ which means you are going to be talking to an adult and I don't think you have the right to speak to an adult harshly, not even your own brother you can treat like that, he might not entertain it the way you view it and you are the one that see them as addicted person, they don't see addiction as you see them.

If money join me and that person together, I will make sure the first thing I do is to cut anything that supply him money so he doesn't get access to money to gamble, no Bankroll no gambling for him. I can also talk to the person calmly in the best way he can understand that he is not doing well in life and I will back it up with evidence. If the person is a good thinker, he will come to his senses and take correction and will even appreciate your support for trying to leave gambling.

We need to make ourse available in cases where our fiends or brothers needed our help and shoulders to lean on, some couldn't afford doing this on their own without other's influence in their decision, this is not us being totally dependent for them to use us the way they want  because we are not responsible for their actions, we are only committed to helping them on our own way as we could best engage doing.

[Odusko]

The best form of support for an addict is to talk them out of it, but in doing so, you must avoid getting overly involved to the point that it becomes an immersive imposition on them because if you allow it to downgrade to that stage, it becomes highly risky for you as family members to lose their trust of confidentiality which is a vital tool to helping them get out of the huck of addictions.
To avoid such occurrences one needs to hold every in high esteem and also make sure to draw them closer instead of pushing them away which will result in a more negative future for the addicts, family is file support and at that stage, the individual needs all the support they can get.

if the person is a family member, then, it means, you already know how to approach the person. but of course, you still need to give him privacy and just involve with his life if you think he is ready to open up himself and has the signs that he needs help. because you will see it if he is struggling to help himself but there is the will to change. but if he is in denial and seems angry to the world, i guess, pause your approach and just wait for the right time. because you will be the bad person in the scenario if you insist your help and he doesn't want it yet.

that's why give him space and just wait for the appropriate time to enter his life. as a family member, you will know the signs that he needs help from other people. if you see that he is not yet ready, better not be so aggressive because he will just shy away from potential help.

When it comes to colleagues or friends then i dont really that having that kind of sense of responsibility on trying out to help but as much as i do and possible then i might giving off those kind of advises on which based up with my own understanding of course on which it would really be giving out that positive rather than on negative but as speaking about family members then it would really be just that automatically that you would really be giving your very best on trying to help out- thats your own family and it would really be just that normal that you would really be helping him/her.
We do know ton what gambling addiction could bring and it is really just that normal that you should really be setting out yourself on helping that someone whose really that in need trouble.
Gambling addiction could really give out that negative effect on someones life and as a family then it would be common sense on what you should gonna do.

I am the person to see that if someone needs my help in the process to improve the addiction, then I would do it, whether it be words, advice, or something that can lift their spirits, that is something that we must do so that they can overcome the problems. improve things and obviously do something so that I can generate the best possible in making a difference, the people are addicted, in the majority because they can have a family, they can have a person who hurts them because they are like this, it is something normal, I don't go out to judging them, I know that sometimes facing this problem is not easy, but it is very good to attack it when it should be done, I would have everything to be able to help a person, what you know is that sometimes they need attention from a psychologist and that's not what I am .

A person when he is addicted, sometimes his family needs to help him get out of where he is, it is difficult, but it is not impossible, he has to do it quickly, because the consequences are catastrophic when it is not done quickly.

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.

What do you think?

I don't think being a little harsh is a bad thing to help our family members quit gambling because everyone has a different way of being educated.
Being strict with families who are found to be active gamblers is the perfect attitude, and always give good encouragement so that they can leave their gambling activities because gambling actively for too long will only make them change uncontrollably and will definitely continue to gamble without stopping.
Gambling is not a dangerous activity, but for those who are still young, they are prone to becoming gambling addicts, their school years will be threatened.

[Nrcewker]

I guess, it’s better to stop them providing money for gambling. If they won’t have money to gamble, then how come they will gamble? In this manner, their addiction might decrease. Moreover you can also show them additional love and ask them to spend time with the family. Addiction won’t be gone in a single day, but if you keep him busy with other work, then definitely the addiction level will decrease and a day will come when the gambling addiction will be gone forever.
