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

[Gheka]

There are a lot of options you can do but not this. Forcing a person to quit gambling where they are addicted will never make you achieve the goal of stopping them. There should be the right process to conduct to make them stop without forcing them. The right thing to do is to help them by making them realize the important things they need to do or prioritize instead of spending all their time being addicted to gambling. Forcing them will only make them think to spend more time gambling and make them more addicted than their current situation until they are no longer able to help.

i also think that forcing someone not to gamble is the same as making them even angrier and will actually fight us. the approach taken should be with understanding and empathy, where we should be able to advise them face to face. if they still resist in the process, give him more advice and don't allow him to gamble more than he can afford. because stones that are dripped with water will also change shape, like people who are addicted, if we continue to give advice and empathize with them, maybe it will help them to soften and reduce the intensity of their gambling.

It should come as no surprise that forcing someone to stop gambling against their will can backfire, resulting in increased frustration and resentment. Taking the time to speak with them face to face and offer advise and support is far more likely to have a positive impact. And an analogy of the stone being shaped by water over time is extremely powerful; it implies that change is possible, but it requires patience and persistence.

An introverted lifestyle shows a less communicative personality and even if we talk more to them, the story is just our presentation, it does not condense any other thoughts for them when they are just an emotional trash can and only know how to listen to a story and experience advice, they are not connected by such stories, their world is too special and prevents anyone from entering. Helping them can only lead them to experience the outside world more, like they need to find the rope to overcome difficult emotions inside without needing others to give them a clear path.

Gambling is for adults and you cannot force a grown up not to engage in what he seems fit for him. Adults should be allowed to make decisions that relate to their life activities. But when it is clear that an individual needs some level of coercion to make some important decisions, he should be forced to do it.

Some gambling addicts will never accept that they need help and will never accept advice or a soft approach. Such individuals can be forced to make some hard choices such as seclusion or visiting some addiction experts. There are times when you have to force people to take action because they might not the importance now but might later understand that you were just helping.

Definitely changes from an addicted person is truly possible by the help of having a lot of patience and persistence but I assume that it will also take a lot of time before they overcome this addiction. Speaking with them by face to face is one of the best way to guide and to help them because if you only know, that's what doctors like psychologists do mostly, they talk and give a lot of advice to a person so that he remembers again and again that what he does needs to be limited, in this way, a person's time is reduced in gambling.

Sometimes it depends on their behavior because if you see them at their worst, then you need to act quickly without making any introduction anymore since they are not gonna listen to you anymore and this sometimes results in aggression you need to be ready for that. But if you see them slightly addicted and you want them to change, then nicely talk to them to avoid any misunderstanding because if you provoke them more, it will lead to their rebellion, and won't gonna listen to anybody anymore. that's why we have lots of people who ran away from home because of traumatic experiences and also some of them are also at fault since they don't listen to their parents and sibling's advice.

Well the idea is to know how to get into a person like that because it's not that easy either, this thing about being addicted is sometimes Difficult because they are locked in their World and if you come and tell them: "Don't play anymore because it's going to hurt you" They are capable of getting very angry, I try to see the behavior and tell them how they are doing, that if there is a way to reduce the game to do thing, I invite her to play soccer, and I invite her to do a sport that I know is going to be tiring, for example cycling, cycling demands a lot and if there is no bicycle, then it is easier, I tell her that we go run, to jog, or walk very far so that you get tired , and with that you see landscapes or something like that, so that you breathe fresh air and keep your mind with another type of vision, and not the one you always have of doing things like this to get tired , because if the person gets tired it is much easier for them to react by stopping little by little from playing.

If the person Starts playing less frequently, they can make things turn out much better because it is a way for them to forget, and to that person I would tell them that we are going for a walk or that they should help me with whatever, because As long as the Mind is busy and the body is busy with other activities, it will not have time to go to the casino , and that is Already a gain , therefore when we decide to do things like this well, there is no other way.

That would be my method to keep Someone away from addiction , but you have to be very Discreet and not talk too much about caffeine or those Topics because they make them have anxiety and anxiety is a very Negative Effect of an Addiction, for that Reason  is that things have to be Managed in that Sense.

Yes, change is achievable, and the approach you both mentioned is the right option for healing an addicted gambler. As he'd need to discuss his troubles with us like we are friends, forcing him or yelling at him only causes a countervailing reaction on the player which can chase the gambler from our vicinity or presence, not wanting to have a conversation with us, hence making him feel very comfortable around us is the best healing technique on the addict.

In addition, tracing down on his behavior as a child also matters, many therapists, tend to discuss the person's past and figure out ways to get him out of addiction.

We all love our pasts, that's why we are happy whenever we get in touch with a childhood friend. Therapists can tap into this trick, as happiness is the goal, since the gambler has been sad and in pain during his period of addiction. Keeping him happy will drag him closer to us, and he'd never feel any need to avoid us, once that has been achieved, the player will be one step closer to being addiction free.

Indeed, many therapists recognize the significance of understanding an individual's past in order to address underlying issues contributing to addiction. Exploring childhood experiences can help therapists identify potential triggers, traumas, or unresolved emotions that may be driving addictive behaviors. Tapping into positive memories from childhood can be a powerful therapeutic tool for fostering happiness and emotional well-being.

Reconnecting with joyful experiences from the past can provide a sense of comfort, nostalgia, and connection, helping individuals navigate the challenges of addiction recovery with greater resilience and optimism. By creating a safe and non-judgmental space for exploration and healing, we can encourage individuals to open up about their experiences and work collaboratively towards recovery.

Addiction affects the brain and removes a lot of happy moments from the person's memory, if he's remembered of those past, he'd have lots of things to think about when alone. In a condition where the gambler has no funds to afford a therapist, the best option is inviting a relative over, or convincing the gambler to visit one. Those people help us a lot when in problem gambling. Their time and conversations put the brain quite busy enough to forget about whatever affects us in our daily life. An addict's worse moment is his lonely times. Keeping the person's brain active on other events puts the person in a position where he sees other aspects of life, other than gambling.

Someone who is addicted to gambling might get angry if there are people who want to prevent what they want to do (gambling). because in my opinion someone who is addicted to gambling will experience a change in character, where they may become more stubborn and reluctant to give in. So it's natural that when someone stands in his way, he gets angry because he has tried to block what the main perpetrator wants to do. but even so, preventing those who want to gamble or blocking the desires of people who are addicted to gambling is good, because of course we must be able to make them aware that gambling should not be done excessively, because by doing it excessively it will only make them lose more money. , not by making money. reducing gambling activities is of course good, the same as what you said, if the main perpetrators are tired then they will probably stop and rest, but what happens with gambling in my opinion will be different, because after they rest they will probably come back. in gambling with the same hope of chasing victory.

To stop gambling altogether will not be easy, because to be able to leave gambling you must be able to resist the temptation of wanting to gamble. while the temptation of gambling is very strong, especially if you are addicted to gambling then it is very likely that you will not be able to resist the temptation to gamble. Here, I think that to be able to stop gambling, of course the main perpetrator must first be able to realize that the gambling he is doing is an act that is detrimental to himself. There are some people who say they need help from other people, yes that is true, but when other people help make the main perpetrator aware of it then there is a possibility that the person who is addicted to gambling will be angry, unless the main perpetrator is already aware of the gambling he has been doing for that long. harm yourself. If they become aware of it themselves then I think they will reduce their gambling activities by themselves.

       -   They say the truth hurts, but it helps to make us feel better. It is also not bad to remind the person we are seeing that he will be harmed in the future if he continues what he is doing that is no longer balanced in gambling.

As long as the way of talking is good, I think that what you do with the person you have expressed concern for will also end in a good conversation, right? Now if He/She avoid you let it be until there is a good opportunity again to talk with him or her about this matter.

I think that there are no clear rules that will help an addicted gambler. If you constantly shout at the player, he will take away from you his gambling world in which you will not disturb him and there he will satisfy his stress hunger. On the other hand, if we behave calmly and are not critical of the addict’s game, then he will play without hindrance. I think that everyone needs to choose an individual plan to reduce the desire to play in such players. In fact, this is very difficult, because you need to know the characteristics of his character, which can only be fully studied for more than one year and then you will not learn everything you need. And even if you choose one of these options and everything goes well and the player stops playing, at one point in a year or several years he may return to this due to any stress in life. This could be a quarrel at work, breaking up with your girlfriend, or the loss of a loved one.

By telling them the truth and trying to make them realize their mistakes, we can start to help them slowly get rid of their gambling addiction. We cannot tell them to immediately stop gambling because that would be the same as forcing them and would only cause a commotion between us.
It's better if we try to wake him up slowly and help him by finding a solution and trying to follow it. They will feel that they are trying to cure their gambling addiction with the help of others and will not feel alone.
We must be able to show concern for him so that he understands that we really want to help him get out of his gambling addiction. We don't want them to sink deeper into gambling without being able to get out, especially if they are a member of our family.

[EluguHcman]

If it is about spending your most free times with them as a monitor ship or guiding the addicted gambler not to gamble again, then that is not enough neither is it the way because there would surely be those little times you would excuse them for a personal activity or Indulgences. And it is not even about holding on hostage that would be the solution.

Psychologically, the state of their gambling addictions worsens when you places enforcement with a hard treats at them, they feels wild and captive when you become harh at them and are ignorant to whatever their gambling addictions maybe have caused them.

They are best fitted with some who would understand them such as interacting with them on why they are gambling in the first place and discuss with them about if they ever fell some lost of personalities in their livelihood within the society and also how it has affected their financial portfolios.
Be calm and talk to them like you understood why they are doing that way and the same time, you know what the consequences are.
Make them feel remorse over their addictions and not make shouting at them like they are unfit to make right decisions even though if yes really they are

[|MINER|]

I don't think that this kind of things can't be done by forcefully.  In these cases, we have to explain to the addicted person what problems have come in his life due to gambling addiction and what problems may come in the future. And for this they should make an appointment with a good psychologist if needed.  Moreover, family members should spend a lot of time with him.  By doing these things, if a highly addicted gambler can be turned away from their addiction.

I see your point and that's valid if we are too close with the person and we also understand how they will react with the way we will talk to them, though it will be a different take when we deal with someone who's already deeply addicted to gambling, there's no way that they will take time to listen, as everything that inside their minds is all about gambling and how they will going to please their desire to keep betting, unless you really have that bond which might break that engagement and they will spare time to sit and talk about their gambling participation.

More on how powerful your words and how you may inspire them with your statement, but yes, it's good to say that bringing good conversation and placing some engaging topics about their gambling may gain their interest and might help them to realize how far are they in terms of gambling addiction and what are the things that they already abuse.

On the time that someone do really get that offended then for sure he/she would definitely be that going or trying out to keep some distance specially if it turns out that he do felt that he/she's being pressured or something. We cant really be able to stop things accordingly because if we do speak about gambling addiction then this one really pertains on someones self decisions in regarding
into the conditions that you are into. It is really just that gambling addicts wont really be able to able to realize those mistakes on the time that they would really be on such condition,
which we know that other people could really be able to see upon.

This is why if one of your family members or close to you that would be getting addicted then you would really be having that hard time on trying out to realize on what you are currently doing.
Im aint saying that it would be that able to solved out such problem but of course its not something that you could really be able to easily quit if you
dont have that strong self discipline and control.

It also depends on the relationship between the gambling addict and you. If you are close friends then it will be easy to tell him that he might be crossing the line on his/her gambling habit.
If you are a parent, either a father or a mother, this is where it gets chaotic. Most of the young ones today see discipline as an act of abuse. This is why I am trying my best to let my kids know that I love them whenever they hear discipline from me. It's best if they will understand that when they are younger so that they will understand it while they are growing up. It's not abuse but mostly love, because as a parent we don't want our kids to walk the wrong path.

Back to the topic. It's better if we talk nicely when we are parents. You are right about that. Maybe that way we can understand what they are going through and maybe that could patch things up and he/she will go back to his normal ways of life, avoiding gambling. As a friend though, it will be different. It's best to tell them the hard truth or tell the parents about what is happening so they will be the ones looking for a solution.

[oktana]

In as much as option 2 wouldn’t work, I think you could improve option 1 to work better. I’m not sure what you mean by not leaving their side for too long but I think that you should talk to the person and know their reason for gambling. You can’t solve a problem without knowing what the problem is. If the person says it’s because they don’t have money, then finding them a job will help them stop gambling because then they have Enough to not have a need to gamble.

A mix of polite confrontation and unfailing support is my friend recommendation. The key is communicating the painful facts with empathy that fosters introspection rather than resistance. This method creates a secure setting for honest addiction discussions, I've found.

I agree on parenting. Love-based discipline is tricky. Consistent love and discipline teach that advice is protective, not punitive. The key is to establish ideals and boundaries early on and make punishment seem like caring, not coercion.

Differentiating these roles is crucial. Parental speech is authoritative and concerned. Its important to approach these conversations with conscious kindness that encourages openness rather than defiance. Goal? To show mutually respectful ways out of addiction.

Addiction is a serious difficult problem that happens when someone loses complete control on a habit they practice practically all the time, some people have it so bad leading them to do crazy things.

Gambling is one of those habits that people tend to fall into its addiction due to their irresponsibility and impulsive actions. When someone gets addicted to Gambling you can say that he will no longer have a stable healthy life,  not to mention going eventually broke because of the consecutive amounts of money that are spent daily on bets, losing so much money and not being able to stop what you are doing could push you go insane, some people even loan loads of money just to satisfy their gambling addiction needs and they ofcourse end up in big debts they can't pay back.

So imagine someone from your family or loved ones going through what I mentioned above, seeing someone you care about struggle due to gambling addiction, I don't thing treating them in a harsh way could help, it will only make it worse on them it's like adding more pressure and struggle on them. It is preferable to have calm conversations with them trying to understand them and help them fight this addiction, you should always be beside them to make sure they're away of anything related to Gambling. I think if you try the harsh way it won't help because you're gonna push this person away creating a distance between you two that will push him to even hide things from you just to avoid that harsh reaction.

That's why it is important to build a strong healthy relationship between family members for them to feel comfortable sharing their lives and opening up about their problems, violence and hard ways were never a solution.
