How did/do you handled a gambling addict story.

[sompitonov]

I was close to addiction, but at some point I realized that this must be stopped right now and no one but ourselves will do it, everything is only in our hands. Of course, many people want to win back after large or even huge losses, but there is one trick, it lies in the fact that we should not look back at this lost money, it is not there and therefore it cannot be returned, we just need to accept it and give up. Otherwise, I often hear how players cling to the past, thereby robbing themselves of the future. If anyone is reading me who is an addicted gambler, then stop clinging to the past right now and immediately, if you can do this, then you will get out of addiction, even if not forever, but at least for a long time, and this should also be considered a good result of the struggle with addiction.

Has anyone gambling addict shared his situation with you and how did you handled it? please come clean about it let's learn from each other.

It is rare for someone who is addicted to gambling to seek help from anyone. Some are not even able to recognize that they are addicted or that they have a problem.

But when they decide to seek help, I think the first person they turn to is a close friend, and if this friend does not know how to deal with the situation and give good advice, unfortunately it can discourage the person with the problem even more and worsen their addictions.

But I also confess that to this day I have not heard sincere reports from anyone who is having a gambling problem and wants to give up the addiction. The most I have read and heard are people complaining about their losses and looking for "magic alternatives" and advice to get their money back and start winning again, but never wanting to give up gambling.

That is because they don't know if they already addicted to gambling. Even if those addicted gambling lose much money before, that will not makes them realizes about what happens to them.
They will still playing gambling without thinks about themselves and even if some people know that they are often playing gambling and warn them, they will not listen and will continue to playing gambling. That situation can becomes worst if they don't makes reflection or calculate how much they already lose and that can triggers them to becomes addicted to gambling.
When we know that our friends wants to share about their problem in gambling, we can listen to them and gives advices to them so they can realizes that they already addicted to them. We can helps them to find the right solution for them so they can start to reduce their gambling addiction.

Let me show you a part of the miserable life of a gambler. Although gambling is not legal in my country, I will tell you how much the horror and bad effects of online gambling can affect the life of a common man. There is a gambler in my community who was a shoe seller in his early life but got addicted to online gambling and forced to sell his shoe shop. He has gone from a one-time shoe salesman to an addicted gambler after losing gambling bets. His wife and children now lead a life so miserable that words cannot express it. His wife is suffering a lot of torture for managing the gambling money and now the gambling wife is supporting the family by begging and taking care of the children. A family that once lived a very prosperous life has now become destitute only because of gambling and destroyed a beautiful future.

True, no one else can help us but ourselves, because after all we are the ones who can make decisions that are in our favor. On the other hand, you said the right thing that as much as possible we should never think about returning the amount that was previously lost, because it is a mindset that will ultimately make us chase losses based on emotion and greed, and this is why people always say and advise to bet small amounts or amounts that we can afford to lose because then it is less likely for us to feel emotional due to losing.

What this means is that a gambler is required to have a good sense of responsibility for all the decisions he or she has made regardless of the outcome at the end of the session especially losing, because if not then chances are as I said above that they will get emotional and chase their losses, so I will complete your idea that the trick to getting out or to avoid addiction is to understand that gambling can multiply our money but also to realize that losing is part of the risk in gambling.

An important thing here is that the player must be able to lose, and if this is not the case, then rage, anger and blindness will simply destroy the player in the long run. To some extent, we play against our own emotions and ourselves. If we can’t control ourselves, then it’s better not to get closer to gambling than at arm’s length.

Responsibility is another one of the main reasons why problems may arise if it is not there. Gambling is like a reflection of personality and showing its strengths and weaknesses. This is precisely why the strong differ from other players, that they will not be shaken by various unexpected situations.

With online casinos where everything can be done in secret now without the need to visit a real casino or betting store, I doubt many people would come clean about their gambling addiction, I believe that we are surrounded of many people addicted to gambling in all its forms but not realizing how bad they are involved in that. The reason why these people aren’t trusting others to share their pain and addiction or seek for help is the prejudging of society and that very bad pictures we all have towards addiction of all kind, while it is important to understand that also addiction is a sickness and everyone having it should have some help.
Personally, I have a small experience with gambling addiction where started spending more money on gambling and kept losing it, until I decided to indirectly seek help from my family, Saying that I needed some time with them feeling bad and depressed, while all I was doing is to run away from spending time on Internet and online casinos until I passed that hard period, so my point is family will never disappoint you if you are ready to come clean and handle your addiction in a better way.

[Rabata]

Has anyone gambling addict shared his situation with you and how did you handled it? please come clean about it let's learn from each other.

I had a friend who was addicted to gambling and he used to share his secrets with me but when he shared about his gambling, I forbade him in various ways even one day i informed his parents. Since then my friend had heard various things about gambling from his parent, and he never shared gambling with me. I knew from his condition that he gambled but he hide all these things from me. But when I shared my gambling with him, he started behaving like before. He also tells me about his addiction and I just tell him to take a break. And give him a tip that it is never possible to get rich overnight in gambling. (As he does not play lottery games). I told him you can gamble but don't dream of getting rich from here. He listened to my advice and after that he gambled but did not dream of getting anything as big as before.

[irsykes]

Yes, that's right, the intention of most gamblers is to make money and of course that intention is what makes them addicted to gambling to the point where they experience a lot of financial losses, especially. with those who are addicted, they will continue to gamble even if they don't have any money and they will look for ways to make money so they can gamble again. When I have relatives who gamble, it won't be a problem if they can still control themselves well by gambling appropriately, but if they have crossed the normal limit, that's where they have to stop by gently advising them.

I'm sure everyone will definitely advise him, even though at the beginning they might be a little angry about the gambling they are doing, but when an addict has told them about the complaints they feel, there is no way they will let it go, even though the advice is just talk, it has helped. and when we have given them advice after that it is up to them, whether they will return to gambling brutally or consider advice from other people.

If gambling is entertainment, maybe losing will not be an ambition to repeat the deposit, but if  are looking to win or make money from gambling, we must be prepared for the risks we will face later. Many things will happen if you gamble and don't live up to your expectations if you don't win. Mental health, health and the economy will suffer from the effects of this ambition. If gamble wisely it will be better

Well, in fact, those who become addicted to gambling have the wrong response and attitude towards gambling, where they consider gambling entirely as a means of making money, even though it shouldn't be like that. because if they completely consider gambling as a means of making money it will not make them enjoy the gambling they are doing, it is very likely that when they consider gambling as a means of making money they will feel tension because they are afraid of losing the money they bet because their aim in gambling is to making money is not for entertainment so that when they experience defeat they still have the ambition to gamble again to get the win they want.

What you say is correct, when the gambling you do doesn't produce the results you want, it can affect your mental health, where first of all, perhaps the emotions that will occur will make the gambling more irregular, with the actions taken not being properly considered first. and of course such actions will only cause them to experience greater losses and it will affect their mentality.

However, when gambling addicts will only wait for a day that makes them directionless, it will be difficult to return to the right path. The only way out is to give up the money you have lost and leave the world of gambling. If are still comfortable with the world of gambling, you will do more by not overdoing it, by enjoying entertainment and not expecting big wins, money will be under control

Exactly, there is no other solution to get out of a bad situation in gambling other than letting go of everything that has been lost and leaving the world of gambling completely, I understand that saying is much easier than doing it especially since this is an addiction which is a disease that exists in a person's mind where they have to really fight their own desires, but however there is no other way but to let go of everything that has been lost.

On the other hand, in my opinion, there are two options in this case, first, to completely abandon gambling and second, to change the mindset and point of view in a straight direction towards gambling, namely by trying to make ourselves a responsible gambler and eliminating various actions that can lead to many undesirable bad effects and changing the goal from earning to seeking entertainment and fun, there is nothing better than the two options above.

Stories like this are indeed very sad because when a husband cannot control his addiction, it will end tragically and even destroy the family and just abandon it, so when they have started addiction it is difficult to lose any money in front of him will definitely be taken to do betting again.

There are many more stories that I know.
Gamblers who commit suicide due to many loans for gambling.
From a rich man to a poor man because of gambling addiction.
Families destroyed because of gambling.
We have to play gambling naturally, don't get crazy or addicted, just a cold one who is ready to lose because it is certain that betting has a risk of losing.

This is indeed the only way and its something that too really simple to make yourself believe that you could do it but we know that this is the most challenging thing for a gambler to be doing is on to stop at the moment that they are losing that money or at the moment that they do want to quit. Usually people would really be quitting at the moment that they will really be experiencing those shit conditions and not
at the moment that they are on midway on which this is really that most common condition on where most people would be t hat be experiencing. If someone do make out some sharing about their problems then the only thing that you can do is to tell them about on quitting for good but honestly the decision would really be relying into themselves and there's no one would really be help out theirselves but only
on oneself when it comes to that control and really meaning it on quitting.

It's just that 90% of gambling addicts are not hypocrites, they can't escape 100% of the world of gambling. A small percentage of people intend to leave the world of entertainment. maybe only 90% can. Recovered gambling addicts will return but not with the ambition they once had. more precisely as you said really having to leave gambling is a good step for the future but not easy

On the moment that there's someone who do approach you and telling about their gambling addiction condition then it would really be better that you should be telling them about on quitting.
Trying out to ease up the stress that they are currently feeling out because it is really that rare for someone to make those kind of share up specially into those people that they dont know. On the time that they will really be making those kind of sharing then it do basically means that they are asking for some help or some piece of advises that you could tell them. Of course we would really be telling those basic recommendations that we should quit while its early because proceeding or continuing on playing gambling could might result that you will really be sleeping on the streets at the moment that you had compromised your life savings.

This isnt the first time on hearing about gambling addiction results but rather tons of people which on such condition. It is really just that majority of them would really be hiding themselves at public
or even into their loved ones because they dont like that they would really be discriminated but rather they do share up on random people.

[Yatsan]

Just listen and don't intervene as they continue telling their story. Believe me that they needed huge amount of courage to be able to tell to other people what happened to them and what they want others to no longer experience or even try. Some of the things thaat they will say are alike with one another or may sound cliché but that's just how addiction works; despite of knowing what's good and what's not, you'd be still fascinated by another reason which is to earn big money without doing that much other than taking the risk.They wouldn't want to be invalidated or be blamed of what's done already. Listen to them carefully and be sure to learn from those stories. And if you will be having an opportunity please tell them we're here.

[Richbased]

I was close to addiction, but at some point I realized that this must be stopped right now and no one but ourselves will do it, everything is only in our hands. Of course, many people want to win back after large or even huge losses, but there is one trick, it lies in the fact that we should not look back at this lost money, it is not there and therefore it cannot be returned, we just need to accept it and give up. Otherwise, I often hear how players cling to the past, thereby robbing themselves of the future. If anyone is reading me who is an addicted gambler, then stop clinging to the past right now and immediately, if you can do this, then you will get out of addiction, even if not forever, but at least for a long time, and this should also be considered a good result of the struggle with addiction.

I like the part you said that you stopped gambling by yourself without anyone advising you and that's how a matured gambler should think, if your gambling is trying to push you to an extent that you can't stay a day without gambling then addiction can start up so it is the duty of every gambler to take responsibilities of their gambling habits because if it enters into being addicted, no one can really persuade you to stop except you decide by yourself. Just like you said chasing losses is also one major thing that causes addiction like not being able to let go of previous losses and want to recover by all means. This aspect is very important because majority of gamblers have these mindset of not allowing the money they already lost to die off, they keep on playing till they will lose so much and before they know it turns to addiction, if a gambler can gamble without getting addicted, they can't face too much problems in their gambling life. However, the best advice a gambler can get is to advise himself not to gamble to an extent of addiction.

It is not easy enough to truly get rid of the addiction to gambling or become a responsible gambler, especially if the person does not get proper treatment and support from the people around him, especially the people he loves.

To be able to get out of the problem of gambling addiction, apart from having to get the right treatment, an addict must also be able to leave his social or gambling environment. Because if not, it will be quite difficult to get out of this addiction, and maybe he will even be trapped in this addiction problem forever. However, with strong determination and support, as well as the right approach, anyone can get out of the trap of gambling and live a healthier and happier life.

And that is precisely what happens to a person who sees the casino as a job, that is what happens to him, he is stressed, pressured and very afraid because he is going to lose money, and that is not healthy, it is not good and there is no precision in things, then he neither has fun nor makes money but the opposite happens, he loses money and only because things do not work out for him and he cannot see the casino or gambling as a job or as a secure source of income, to think that the casino is like that is crazy and it would be very irresponsible for a person to do so and those who try it come out very badly.

Handling gambling addiction can just be as you talk to people about your situation and they try to help you and see how they could make you reduce the addiction and even if you gamble but not as your  priority this one of the i understand a lot, if you talk to a reasonable person that knows what to do and give you the right advice, you will be able to handle gambling addiction on the way you can, sometimes it’s something difficult to understand, the gambler don’t have choose just have to chose to understand.

[pinggoki]

Like how you handle any kind of story, you listen to them and give your opinions if they ask for it, that's how you should do it, no judgment and no bias that will only make their story look like it's a sob story and that it's not the addict's fault and that it's the fault of the other people. These kinds of stories are usually pretty sensitive to the storyteller so basically, what you do is to try and make yourself the most comfortable person that they can rely when they want to talk about something, I mean that's how things are with this, you don't want to be asshole and try to one up their story just so the discussion will center around you.

yes, that's true, apart from that, even though gambling has a bad view from some people, of course they care about each other and will help those who have problems with gambling, such as uncontrolled gambling addiction. By talking to people they trust, I'm sure they will get advice for themselves so they can reduce their gambling activities, because stopping completely is very difficult, even unlikely. with the advice they get, they must have good determination and be consistent in the recovery process, lest they return to gambling brutally or blindly. Apart from that, I am sure that everyone must have someone they really trust, and that person they trust will provide help when they tell about their gambling.
but it all comes back to themselves, if they are still unsure or half-hearted, maybe they can return to gambling again, and it is not easy to get rid of the addictive habit that has stuck, in fact they may even return to gambling and do it again blindly because they have feeling frustrated. So indeed gamblers have to choose what is best because the choice is theirs so they are the ones who decide for the future.
