Can family members help a gambling addict?

Can the advice of loved ones even help? What is the most effective way of going about gambling addiction.

Even hardened gamblers will always listen to their loved ones because of the relationship they built over the years and the blood relationship that binds them, most of the time the key to getting them to rehabilitate those addicted to gambling comes from the help of the family.

There is no other way to cure addiction but to send them to a facility that will help them forget gambling, the cure is very much like drinking addiction, they should be housed in a facility where they are more concentrated on curing the symptoms of addiction.

Many people are going through gambling addiction but they manage to keep it a secret from their families and loved ones. The only people that know about their gambling activities are their close friends. In the event that you are one of those close friend to a gambling addict, do you think it is right to tell their loved ones with the intention that they will be able to talk to him and help him overcome his addiction? Can the advice of loved ones even help? What is the most effective way of going about gambling addiction.

There's a reason why a gambling addict don't tell tell families about their addiction, and a close friend should respect that. If you really wanted to help, better ask your friend's permission first before you tell it to anybody, especially their family.

The reason why they don't tell it to their love ones is that they are afraid of getting judge, instead of getting sympathy and help from them. Not all people have a very understanding families, mostly they've got toxic one that's why they do stuff that will get their families attention.

The only help they could get is from a friend who is willing to guide them in a different path that's going to cure their addiction.

Before a friend can open up to the concerned family there is already a cordial relationship existing between both parties, if the reverse is the case no need you only help your friend (addict) to curtail such habit.
He has reason for not opening up, furthermore in a family where there is love and harmony, the individual won't hesitate to open up and seek advice from his family (love ones).

The family plays an important role, and can help out in such case with love, and care not being judgmental, bringing up activities that occupy such individual, also teaching them how to channel there money into other meaningful activities other than betting sites, casinos,etc.


But the major solution will come from acceptance and discipline on the part of the individual (addict) to move on and invest into other areas of his life that will be beneficial to his general well-being.

[dezoel]

Getting together could help in that case. Maybe one on one may not help, like if you are just one person and trying to help another person that might be very hard, can still be doable but very tough.

However, if you get like 5-10 people together to help a single person then suddenly it becomes easier. Remember 21 days is the hardest part, doesn't mean you can't relapse later on, but it is the hardest part for sure, which means that if you are 7/24 always checking that person for 21 days, and they do not gamble even for a single time during that time, then you could trust that they are going to start slowly becoming better. I had an addiction in the past, not gambling, it was to drinking, I relapse once after 6 months, and once after 4 years, so it takes time, but it passes and now I am doing great.

Most likely they are afraid of being judged or scolded by family members who are older than them, but in my opinion this is normal, because it is impossible for a family to remain silent when one of its members does something that is not good or excessive. scolding may not mean hatred but rather why he could do such a dangerous thing that harms himself. but the family is sure that after scolding him they will definitely help him to get out of the problem he is experiencing, there is no way they will just leave him like that. unless the main perpetrator is really stubborn and cannot be directed.
It's true that not everyone has a caring family or has a good relationship with their family, there are people who have a bad relationship with their family, but even so, that doesn't mean we have to do things that are detrimental to ourselves, in fact I think when we don't have We must have a good relationship with our family to be able to prove that we can be successful without support from family, because I am sure that when we are successful, what was previously an indifferent family will definitely come, and after that it is up to each of us.

[AHOYBRAUSE]

The question is kind of, let's say, stupid.
Of course family members can help. They are the first people you should trust with your issue, mostly they already know about it or at least had a feeling.
Who else you want to turn to first, friends? The bond with the family is mostly the strongest so in my opinion it's a no brainer to reveal yourself to them first.
Everything after this will be 10 times easier. Sure, the step itself is very hard because of feeling ashamed and so on. But it is what it is.

Can the advice of loved ones even help? What is the most effective way of going about gambling addiction.

The point is that gambling addicts deliberately keep it a secret from their family and loved ones for various reasons. As a friend who has known him for a long time, I didn't immediately tell his family or loved ones what he did when he was outside the house for fear of making him angry. I will try to advise him in my own way, if he doesn't listen to my advice, he won't listen to advice from his family or loved ones either.

I would leave him for a few days without telling him where I was, this way he would wonder about my change in attitude. I will tell him that I don't like his attitude of being too addicted to gambling activities, if he respects me as a friend, maybe he will change his attitude little by little.

[zuzie]

That's because if they honest with their own family members, their family members will say many things about their behavior and habits and even their family members can asks him to leave the family because of the bad impact to the other family. It's sad but that's the reality that happens in many family. If other family members can gives attentions to people who had gambling addiction and can talk carefully about their problems, the addicted  to gambling can be solved. The addicted to gambling will gets advice from the right people from their family so they will not gets trick from other people. The presence of the family can helps the addicted to gambling to start his rehabilitations and if their family members gives their support, that will be more power to the addicted to gambling and they will wants to do every process they must do.

Yes, if family members already know about their gambling activities, then it is very likely that many family members will give advice so that the addict wants to stop and get out of the gambling circle. a good goal so that everyone does not experience suffering due to mistakes made by just one person.
Therefore, addicts are very careful in hiding their bad deeds from their own families. If addicts want to open up, I think maybe only a few addicts, but many addicts try to cover it up.

Yes that's right, no matter how bad a person's family background is but still they will definitely put a strong concern for other members who experience gambling addiction problems, but I think it is quite rare for the family to know that their family members are addicted to gambling, because usually most addicts prefer to hide their bad habits from their family except maybe their closest friends and when gambling addicts do not get attention and supervision from the family then I think they will feel more free to do things out of control.

The inability and lack of courage in terms of telling family members that they have experienced addiction will make it even more difficult for them to get out of the addiction phase, they always hide it because they may be afraid of being angry by their parents but if for example a situation like this is still allowed then of course they have a high probability of facing worse impacts which also has the potential to affect other family members.

Yes, that's right, because there must be a very close relationship there, so it is not easy for family members to be willing or let the gambler suffer. There are even family members who can feel whether the gambler is okay or not so that when the gambler feels sad about the impact of gambling they are experiencing, these members will try to ask about this and the gambler is confused about whether to tell the story. or not. He wonders whether there are family members who want to hear and accept his life problems or are indifferent and don't want to know so that the gambler feels unsure about what decisions he will make.

[Jody.Drummer]

Yes, maybe the scenario can be like that where the first step they can rely on their family or closest family members to help overcome their addiction problems in various ways that can be done and that make sense to do and as you said that if it turns out that support from the family has absolutely no effect or only a little effect then the next yes the family can ask for help from professionals to help continue the support stage for the healing process.

True, that indeed helping to deal with addiction problems suffered by others whoever it is requires caution - caution and steps that are not arbitrary, Because yes, as you say here that sometimes we can give advice and direction that is not appropriate or means that it is not time to enter into such advice and direction which allows them to feel offended by your words especially if for example they are one of the people who are quite sensitive where what you say is true that they can become not open about the addiction problems they experience, so of course supporting, giving direction with the aim of helping the process of change requires caution and considered steps.

I think when it's come to seriousness of the status of the gambler and it's not really helping at all with just the help of the family. Because what we can think of the kind of help they will do is about the support and acceptance.

Other than that, it's going to be more of the moral support and cheering the addicted gambler that they're there to cry on their shoulders and no matter what happens, they won't leave him.

So, it's a combination of help that the gambler can have and it's rare to see that kind of help nowadays when your family is there with you trying to help you get out of your vice.

Basically, everything will come back to depending on the gambler himself, or the point is that it depends on whether the gambler is able or willing to accept some help from other parties such as family or professionals or not, because the reason why addiction is difficult to overcome is because the gambler himself really does not want to be open about what he is experiencing so that it makes it difficult for us or professionals to provide something in the form of appropriate assistance as needed, because addiction has different levels, Some are still in the early stages of addiction and some have entered the chronic phase and also the point is that the problem is that if for example the gambler does not want or is not ready to stop then obviously whatever help you do will have no effect, because addiction is something that is in the human brain that leads to habits, so if for example you want to change someone's habits then we have to make them believe and believe in some of the steps and support that we provide to help them get out of the addiction phase, and this is a difficult thing.

So I think it all depends on the "acceptance" of the gambler themselves, simply put if they don't want to stop then they will definitely continue to do it and also for the family problem honestly I believe that no matter how bad your family is they will definitely care about you and they definitely hope that you can change or get out of these bad habits.

[348Judah]

Answering your topic directly, then yes, a family can help a gambling addict greatly provided the addict is willing to open up to the family. And just as you write that it is always difficult for addicts to open up on their addiction to their families and this is because they fear criticism as there’re a lot of stigmatizing that comes with telling a family about an addiction m, especially a family that is quick to anger and judge.

As a friend, if you discover your friend is an addict, be it gambling or whatever addiction, I think it’s not wise spitting it out early and you should try as much as possible to be available for that friend and show much love and concern and you should only tell the family when you think you can’t handle it anymore.

What an addict needs, is love and attention and personally, I think that’s the first step to fighting addiction and the next step is always not letting the addict be alone.

Let's take a look from it from another perspective, in situations whereby a gambler can make a huge win and try to avoid all this family members and went out to squander the whole money with friends and later come to need the help of this same family to assist in getting back on track and deal away with addiction, this are things that are happening and we should also be learning from them because anyone can be in such a situation a s a family member, but i don't think it's ideal to be a problem on your family all because you're a gambler and a chronic addict in that matter, we have to start by discipling ourselves before it get out of hands.

[Obari]

Family will always been there for you to help if they really care with you so you'll lucky enough if you know there will be someone keeps at your back when you are in your hard times. If you are old enough and your family want to keep you still free even you have a responsibility you must need to take care with your actions and keep in mind the people surround you like that if they will get affected on your decision. But the end of the day it's up to you if would like to change your self or not because even though they keep doing all their best to help you but you don't have a will it's all just a waste of time and effort.

Actually, it’s not about having a family that cares, is having the ability to open up to them without any guilt.
One funny thing about conscious is the fact that, it talks to us before, during and also after we carry out an action and leaves us with the choice to make and one reason why people don’t easily open up their gambling acts to their family is because of the guilt that they’re getting involved in the wrong act but just  because everyone wants the easy life, we still indulge in gambling and when the losses get much, we start chasing losses to recover them and end up losing more and in quest to recover losses by all means, get addicted.

Don’t know if I’m getting your point straight, but the truth is that, family still remains family, regardless of what the case might be.
A gambler never expects to get addicted but we don’t even realize when the addiction comes and in most cases, one of the major causes of addiction is expectations( having a whole of expectations from gambling )

Well, that's one problem for the gambler that he is not willing to open it up to his relatives because they don't want the others know that they're in serious addiction.

That's the first thought that comes to their mind and think that it's going to be as hard as it can be and they'd be pressed on by their relatives and won't be there to help.

It is the assumption that the addicted gamblers make and that's why instead of letting others know what they struggle with, they choose to remain silent about it.

Addiction worsens if a gambler doesn't take a break from his habit. Few days' rests would help a gambler to regain his self-control and decision making on gambling. People who are close to a gambler will figure out if he's a player earlier before he gets addicted. But, due to the fact his friends think all will remain in control, they wouldn't care advising him at the early stage. When the player gets compulsive, they'll try to talk to him, but it's the wrong moment to advise a gambler. Even his loved ones can't change him immediately, they'll still have to undergo rigorous misunderstanding, before the addict will listen and consider visiting a therapist. Restriction works best in recuperating a gambler's brain. If a gambler is kept in a place or around people where he wouldn't have access to gambling, for few weeks, he'll have a rethink on his past gambling experiences. This will help the gambler to have a bit control over his gambling habit, in future, when he's out of the place. An addict will hardly change if gambling platforms are easily accessible to him. All the advise may not be effective if he still thinks of going to gamble.

[Cantsay]

There's a reason why a gambling addict don't tell tell families about their addiction, and a close friend should respect that. If you really wanted to help, better ask your friend's permission first before you tell it to anybody, especially their family.

The reason why they don't tell it to their love ones is that they are afraid of getting judge, instead of getting sympathy and help from them. Not all people have a very understanding families, mostly they've got toxic one that's why they do stuff that will get their families attention.

The only help they could get is from a friend who is willing to guide them in a different path that's going to cure their addiction.

For how long will they continue to judge him? To me a friend should try to help in whatever way that they can so keeping it a secret from the family to me seems like a wrong thing to do.

Even if the family wants to judge they would do that but it will be after they have successfully helped him get rid of his addiction and they’re are also some family that will still do it without an ounce of judgmental look.

Yes, usually it's like that, where as a whole, usually gamblers, especially those who have entered the addiction phase, are synonymous with always keeping it a secret that they have entered the addiction phase, they hide this from their families because they are afraid that their families will scold them or even throw them out of business. home, I know this because I am in an environment that is quite active in gambling, almost most of my friends are gamblers and some are already addicted, and yes, it is clear that hiding gambling habits from other people, especially family, is a problem that causes addiction. that in itself is difficult to overcome.

This is one of the reasons why gambling addiction is difficult to overcome, and maybe in my opinion it all comes back to the gambler himself, or what this means is that overcoming gambling addiction always depends on how the gambler himself is because if for example they still have high ambitions for gambling. These people still really want to be involved in gambling activities, so it's useless even if their family helps them or even forces them to stop. Still, I think they will definitely still be involved in gambling secretly.

The fear of being judged or rejected by family and friends has a very huge role to play when it to being stuck in gambling addiction, because even when you've actually realised that you're addicted and it's causing you a great deal of harm, speaking up or seeking help would be totally out of the picture because they're scared of being rejected or criticized. This makes it really hard for people to get help. On one hand, you really can't blame people who decide not to speak up if we're to consider where the stigma against gambling addiction comes from. In most societies today, there are moral judgement against gambling as a whole. They are often related to the association between gambling and crime or the general belief that gambling is generally an irresponsible and non respectable activities. This often makes it difficult for people to open up.

You got a good point there. Gambling addicts are afraid to face their families because they might get rejected or kicked out of the family. I understand, it sure can happen.
There are others who will just keep it a secret so that they won't be judged.
I guess I will do it too if I am in that position because I fear what they will say to me after being honest about what is happening to me, especially because it's a bad thing in our tradition so I doubt I will get help.
I mean, if you know your family or how they react, or if you have seen what they did when someone had been honest to them, then it can become a traumatizing experience and so other family members would just keep it to themselves. So I guess it will still depend on the situation, if a family has a good openness then I bet it will be easier to tell everything.

things might happen when their family feels annoyed with what the addict is doing, but I don't think all families are like that, maybe there are families who have strong concerns, so that when one of their family members experiences problems such as gambling addiction, maybe they still can accept it and they will help him to get out of his problem. Some people who keep their gambling activities a secret certainly have their own reasons why they keep it a secret, perhaps because they don't want their family to know about the gambling activities they do.
but if the gambling has caused a lot of problems, including big losses, maybe they need help if they are aware that the gambling they are doing is making them suffer, but in my opinion it is rare for gambling addicts to be aware of the gambling they are doing, even though it is making them suffer. suffer financially.

This often makes it difficult for people to open up.

The most cases of stigmatization comes from the family, that is why some gambling addicts will rather hold on self help than going to open up to family members, sometimes they rely on friends more since most time they likely may have some similar interests with friends that family.


But if the addicts should come from a family where there is a close relationship and companion within them, it will become more easier to get helped from within the family.

All the advise may not be effective if he still thinks of going to gamble.

that's right, I agree with you, indeed if the addiction is not stopped immediately then it will get worse in the future, it is possible that the first perpetrator experienced depression which could put them at a point that was very dangerous for themselves such as maybe they could go crazy because of their mental state. who are no longer healthy or they can do unreasonable things such as committing suicide. What you say is correct, someone who is addicted to gambling will not easily be able to accept advice from other people, even if it is from their partner, because I think that when someone is addicted to gambling, it is very possible for them to experience changes in attitude which can make them more stubborn. , tend not to want to accept direction and advice from other people, because they feel that the actions they take are right even though it is detrimental to themselves.

When the gambling we do ends in defeat, we should stop gambling, to calm our thoughts, which if we continue it will just become a mess. If indeed this needs to be done by limiting their use or preventing them from being able to access the gambling platform, what kind of thing? Are you not allowed to use cell phones or anything else connected to the internet? or do meditation in an environment where there is no internet? maybe it can be done but I think everyone nowadays spends their daily lives using cellphones or the internet, so it might be difficult too.
