Gambling addiction causes loss

[Accardo]

Whatever I will be suggesting to your friend for sure he won't listen. He didn't even listened to you when you've explained that he's addicted.

That's how it is going to be with those gamblers that are seriously addicted already. No suggestion will be good to them because what they are listening with is only themselves.

They can't admit that they're heavy gamblers and they're losing a lot and have been doing crazy things just to gamble.

No way, do you expect an addict to quit fronting on his addictive behavior, he'll definitely lie and bottle it up. The healing work is on others to help the addict, as he, indeed needs it. Don't mind his strange action, it looks like he doesn't want to help hands. Neglecting them won't be the right choice, working on ways to help change the addict is better than watching him misbehave. While they listen to themselves alone, sooner they'll want to talk to somebody. Deep down, they'll try to save themselves from the attitude, since they personally got into addiction, their self-consciousness will make them believe it's possible to come out with nobody's help. I think that's the main purpose behind why they avoid helpers.

Due to their psychology being affected, they wouldn't make it out alone. That's why sometimes a gambler will decide to open up and reach out for help. Which remains the best time to help an addict. When he's in need of it because he wants it and is tired of the lifestyle. In your context is fine to give them a space. But, to some extent, it's risky, as their attitude can get worse when left unattended. Staying in touch with the gambler helps revive his brain towards changing. Addiction isn't interesting for anyone, seeing his acquittances talk to him, will make him think of being like his unaddicted friends. Sooner, he'd confide with them and seek for help. When neglected he may not try talking to anyone. Thereby stressing his brain, on saving himself.

Advising someone in the throes of gambling addiction can be frustrating.  The addict's desperate hope of "winning back" lost money fuels a destructive cycle.  Logic and reason often fall on deaf ears.

The belief that an addict has to "hit rock bottom" before seeking help is a dangerous misconception.  Imagine someone spiraling deeper into debt, jeopardizing relationships, and losing control over their life before they're ready to change.  Early intervention is crucial.

While forcing someone into treatment might seem drastic, it can be a necessary step.  Imagine the difficult choice of intervening to save a loved one from self-destruction.  Compassionate intervention, coupled with professional addiction treatment, can be a lifeline.

Getting out of gambling addiction is not as easy as many people think of it and that's why a lot of people who are suffering the effects of gambling addiction ate not even showing any sign of quitting from it despite advise from many people. I was addicted to gambling before but was able to break free from gambling addiction and because I was a victim of gambling addict, I learnt so many things about gambling addiction and that's why I don't find it a difficult task to tell people that are still addicted on the best possible ways to break free from it.
For a gambler to be free from gambling, he must first of all admit that he's addicted to gambling and needs to stop his addiction. When a gambler is addicted to gambling, there's no amount of action that can be taken by people around him that'll make him stop his addiction if he hasn't made up his mind to stop the addiction. It's only when an addicted gambler is ready to stop his gambling addiction that he can then be talked out of it by people around him

If the gambler has completely lost the value of money and control over himself, it is important to take urgent action.

It is a must but was too late late because they let this thing happen when we could prevent it in the first place. Once addiction is already there, that is hard to stop.

The first step is to seek help from a specialist in psychology or psychiatry to understand the causes of addiction. Next, you need to restrict access to money, for example, by asking your loved ones to control finances. It is also important to find an activity that will help distract you from gambling, for example, sports or creativity.

Do not hesitate to ask for help from relatives or professionals, because the health and well-being of the gambler is most important.

The process of healing addiction is quite longer than the time we got into that situation. That is why we should not let this thing happen to us because that ruins everything - relationships, money control, and behavior. It really needs proper guidance because he can't heal it alone but with some help.
That is why it must be clear to us the possible things that may happen to us upon gambling and the consequences of losing control of our gambling habit.

You have spoken well. Most times the right decisions needed to be taken haste fully to avoid so serious damages that would be difficult to fix. Imagine in a situation where the gambler has gone so deep into gambling where even his own family is not taking looked out for. That stage the gambler has exceed a responsibly gambling stage.

I support your opinion that if we see any opportunity that we can stop a friend, brother or colleague that is slightly fallen into the shackles of gambling addiction we should take actions immediately. Although it would not be easy, but that gambler would thank you later in the future for helping him/her out earlier before they hurt the feelings of their relations or do some crazy things like selling properties to gamble.

Your right, anyone gambling should try not yo get addicted cause that can make him or her lose a lot in his life and the worst part is that people never know when they are getting addicted or over doing it with gambling, they first start with seeing it as a hustle and when you have become money dependent on something you increase the risk of you beign addicted to it, whek you lose you have no option than to cause your loses, it starts slowly but before we know it you are so deeply inside the habit that you ate stuck.

But I don't think any where is too far to get out, I've been into gambling so notoriously that I would use my transport fare to come back from school to place bets but when I saw what u was doing to me I decided to stop, why most people can't stop is not because the grip is too hard, but rather because they decide to decide themselves about the habit.

When someone becomes addicted to gambling, they develop a persistent belief that they will regain their lost money one day, no matter the cost. This mindset continually drives them to gamble, even if they don't have the funds, as they desperately seek to recoup their losses. They may resort to borrowing money, selling belongings, or even engaging in risky behavior to obtain more funds for gambling. This relentless pursuit to recover lost money fuels their addiction, leading to a cycle of financial and emotional distress. It's evident that those who are addicted to gambling often experience ongoing losses due to their unrealistic hopes of winning big.This perpetual cycle of chasing losses and seeking to recoup them perpetuates the addictive behavior, making it challenging to break free from the grip of gambling addiction.

[Casdinyard]

I had a friend in the gambling circle,he was gambler addicted person over a year.I had advised him many times,but he is not ready to accept my advice in the gambling.Apart from gambling,my friend accept my advice without any hesitation.When I had a time on weekend,I get a chance to meet him in personal.I had some question about his gambling addiction,but the sad part is he is not accepted his gambling addiction towards the gambling site.

He said that he had nearly 64k dollars as a loss in the gambling site.In order to recover that 64k dollars,he keeps on betting from all his economic resources.I had advice him to use only 20 percentage of salary to get away from entire gambling loss.But he is now repeating the same 100 percentage of income from weekly,biweekly and monthly.So he was in the big loan problem.Still he is arranging funds from loan to play gambling,because he think that the recovery was possible at the place where he lost his money.What will be your suggestion for my friend to recover from the gambling addiction.

Don’t know if you made this up but it’s quite common for these gambling addiction stories to fall into a certain pattern anyway so I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt.

With this in mind though perhaps instead of just advising him with vanilla shit, you really show him what’s going on and how he can still save himself from this massive cycle? It’s quite evident that he’s already addicted and is seeing the very reason that he loses money as the only option to get him out of his rut, wich is not a great line of thinking if I do say so myself. In that regard if I were you, I’d push him to seek medical assistance already as this is an advanced case at this point.


Have him be admitted to a rehabilitation center, get him all the help he needs, and do not provoke him to gamble again.

[Nwada001]

but usually addicts think that what they are doing is right and they don't believe what anyone else says other than themselves. usually they will refuse various forms of help, even from professionals, which makes it very difficult to treat gambling addicts. so the initial approach that can be taken to treat the addict is to approach him with empathy and understand what he is feeling. then, after a while of this approach being carried out, professional help is brought in to be able to provide emotional assistance to the addict and at the same time to help him get out of his addiction.

Some people don't know that they are addicted, but some do. Those who don't know they are addicted, even when you talk to them about it, they will barely believe you. But those who know they are addicted but it's hard for them to change are the ones who easily take advice from others, even if they are not going to keep to it. 
 
For you to help anyone who is addicted, you need to first of all make them understand that they are into it. Until you convince them to know the level of damage they have already caused themselves, that's the only way you can help them come out of it on time in order for them not to get deeply addicted more than they already are.

If the gambler has completely lost the value of money and control over himself, it is important to take urgent action.

Just how does someone loss the value of money?
I don’t think one can actually loss the value of money except for one whom is intoxicated by some liquor or drugs. You always get the consciousness of what your putting on the table or for a stake with a conscious calculation on what you hope to get in return and it hits you when your going a little bit above your head but, addiction would make you care the less.

The process of healing addiction is quite longer than the time we got into that situation. That is why we should not let this thing happen to us because that ruins everything - relationships, money control, and behavior. It really needs proper guidance because he can't heal it alone but with some help.
That is why it must be clear to us the possible things that may happen to us upon gambling and the consequences of losing control of our gambling habit.

It’s always the case when it comes to any bad behavior, activities of nature or other menace to societal stability. A civilization that have taken many years to build could be crumbled in minutes, we could have an earthquake to leave an environment that have been around for a century in ruins and that’s just how you can build addiction by just a few games but the journey to make up and repairs is always far ahead because, your addictive behavior is never giving up on you.

Overcoming addiction is not a quick fix. It involves unraveling deeply ingrained behavioral patterns and addressing underlying psychological factors. The road to recovery can be lengthy and challenging. Gambling addiction can have devastating consequences, extending far beyond just financial losses. Recognizing the potential for such harm implies the importance of prevention and early intervention.

Trying to tackle addiction alone is ineffective and can even be dangerous. It needs resources to provide addicted people with the tools and strategies needed to navigate the complexities of addiction and rebuild their lives. The people who are new to gambling need to be educated about the risks associated with gambling and the potential consequences of losing control over their habits. Awareness and understanding empower people to make informed decisions and seek help when needed.

Indeed, Overcoming any addiction is quite hard for some people because we don't really know what's the proper way to do it. It  requires a lot of determination, perseverance and also intensive help from medical professionals, That's why there's a rehabilitation center for those people who's suffering severe symptoms of addiction because they need 24/7 medical and psychological attention from professionals.  For those who want to enter the world of gambling, make sure that you are physically and mentally ready for the possibilities that you may encounter along the process of gambling, I am not scaring you, I am just giving you an idea of ​​the reality of life a gambler.

Overcoming gambling addiction is very difficult, many people fail to get rid of gambling addiction. For me, gambling addiction is much worse than drug addiction if it cannot be controlled, so avoiding addiction is something that every gambler must do. So it is true as you said, before entering the world of gambling we have to prepare ourselves physically and mentally, meaning we are familiar with everything that happens so that addiction can be avoided. Preventing gambling addiction is easier and better than overcoming gambling addiction. The average gambling addict experiences overwhelming feelings of regret. They will definitely say that if time could be turned back they would not want to know gambling, but that has all happened.

[Promocodeudo]

The end point of gambling addiction is loss, when a human can not control himself towards something that can be very detrimental to him or her. Though getting rid of addiction is not an easy thing as a person, but I still believe that there is nothing so difficult for human beings to do if we are determined.
Addiction at a point needs medical attention because the person in question might have detailed, excessive gambling has been one the problem of the society today and it needed to be checked, though it is not easy for the government to check this excessive gambling of a thing but I feel that it is high time the try to do so by puting out measures to cobe the situation because it is becoming one of the major problem of the society.

It cannot be denied that most gambling addicts will never be able to accept or realize that they are addicted because they think that what they do in gambling is still normal, even though in reality they are really crazy addicts.
This will always be related to the mindset and approach to gambling, those who can think well and have the right approach will not experience addiction or even when they are addicted they will be able to realize it and make efforts to heal.
Success in healing or changing attitude for the better in gambling will always depend on will and when there is will to recover then everything will definitely go more easily, after all I sure that experiencing defeat too often is also not something that can be accepted.

Only way I will do this is to show more clearly all the impacts that have occurred and experienced while being gambling addict, this will be the most likely thing to make someone awareness emerge more easily.

There is no one addiction that is worse than another because each addiction has complex behaviors and negative and very dangerous consequences that can harm the addict.
Of course, before gambling, we have to know and be aware of the consequences we will face if we play excessively and we can anticipate this when betting. The reason is that gambling makes players have high hopes, which makes them play without control in the hope of winning, and after winning they continue to play in the hope of winning again. And when they lose, they think they will win the next bet, when in reality it will cost them everything.
And the best thing in my opinion is to play with full awareness when playing so you don't easily get carried away by the atmosphere of the game. Because by playing in a state of full awareness, you have the ability to control the game and it is not the players who will control you.

Addiction is a disease that needs to be cured but how strange is it that when a person is not well and is not a right state of mind, he or she will know that he is ill and he would consult a doctor but a gambling addict would now know that he is addicted and even if other people will tell him that he is suffering from gambling addiction, he will simply refuse to believe them. When a person does not believe that he is a gambling addict, how can he make up his mind to make himself back to a normal gambler?

The gambling addict usually does not want to change their ways of gambling and therefore they continue facing losses. They will never have a clue that what is the reason of these continuous losses as the root cause for it is only gambling addiction. Once a person can limit his time and money in gambling, he will start to go for less gambling and face fewer losses.

[junder]

when addiction has occurred then big losses cannot be avoided, and perhaps it is true that what you said is that in order to recover you need help from other people, however I think that if the main perpetrator does not have his own awareness then it will be just as difficult, so if you really want to recover from addiction then The main actor must have his own awareness first and then others. because there are people who are addicted to gambling who get suggestions and advice from other people but they can't accept it because they feel that they are addicted to it and they feel right about what they are doing even though it is detrimental to themselves.

If the conversations don't align with that of the gambler, then it'll be hard for the gambler to comply with his therapist. That's why it's crucial to reason alongside the gambler. Whatever his strategy is, he should be left alone and watched. Then, along the line, he can gradually be taken out of such thoughts and changed entirely. The mistake with such people, addicts, is that they get affected by the statements of people around them not aligning with his reasoning. They'll only be your friend if you think and claim to act like them. And the goal is to achieve a good relationship with the gambler. This happens with everybody, we only love those who think like we do, and then they can influence us easily.

Arguments don't help good relationships, compared to effective conversation. Hence, the person who is working on helping the gambler needs to be careful not to get carried away by the lifestyle of the addict. As it's a long-term healing process. We all need to figure out ways of dealing with psychotherapy, it'll go a long way to save addicts. I had a conversation with a friend who is related to a drug addict, she said they end up disagreeing with one another because she tries to caution the addict. I told her, the point is to have a good conversation with him, because the victim, also, thinks he's right. Building a relationship that'll make him want to be around us is very crucial. At least, someday we can chime in our thoughts slightly until he starts to think responsibly. These problems are not easily solved by the victim, it's not simple on their end. So, we must not rush them, that's why Psychologists tagged it as a long-term healing process.

If indeed their thoughts are in line, perhaps in my opinion what will happen is continued gambling, because if both of them only think about gambling then no change will occur, unless one of them has awareness and wants to stop his gambling addiction. Also, for example, there are two people who are friends and are both gamblers, but one of them has awareness and wants to stop his gambling addiction, he tries his best not to be tempted and gamble again, but when the other friend wins at gambling because still gambling, there is a possibility that someone who is in the process of quitting their gambling addiction could be influenced again and gamble again because they see their own friends win at gambling.

Yes, that's right, if we help those who are addicted to get out of their gambling addiction, we ourselves must be able to restrain ourselves from getting carried away with those who are addicted to gambling. because to be able to recover from gambling addiction certainly takes a long time, because it is not easy, even if they are helped by other people or those closest to them, even people who are professionals in the field of handling it, it still takes a long time.

[Julien_Olynpic]

A friend of the author of the topic has not yet realized that in general it is useless to act out. After all, attempts to win back are the actions of a desperate person who most likely plays without any system. If getting your money back were that easy, no one would be careful. Everyone would rush to place large bets on the entire bankroll. But in fact, an attempt to win back is a new bet that has nothing to do with the previous game. Or this connection exists only in the head of the player himself. As a rule, a person who is trying to act out is already close to capitulation and admitting his problems and his addiction. The most important thing is that you don’t need to give people money to play. A person must himself come to a decision to stop gaming.

It is true that overcoming gambling addiction is very difficult, but in my opinion gambling addiction and drug addiction are the same thing, namely that they will both make our lives worse, that is, a lot of money is spent doing these bad things. behavior and if it is not done then the heart and mind will be restless and easily emotional with uncertain goals.
Yes, I also often hear what you say when gamblers regret their actions and seem to want to repeat the times when they would never become addicts, but as the saying goes, the rice has turned to porridge and the incident has already happened. it will never be repaired again.
