Addiction is 100% your choice:

[junder]

True, addiction doesn't start in a day it takes time based on the continuous playing of gamble by anyone, but it is very difficult for a gambler to even figure out that he's getting addicted unless such person realizes that he's got to stop playing after losing money or he is not in a position that money comes to him but anyone who is able to Identify that he's getting addicted and stops is really a great person. Personally I have had the experience but l decided to put a stop to the spirit and urge to always fund my online account to gamble after losing the money that is meant for an important thing in the family, gambling addition is not just a thing it's a spirit so I think.

I don't agree with that, I think they become addicted to it just quickly and the fault is initially in their thinking. when they bet and can't accept the losses that occur that's where the addiction will start. because if they can't accept the losses that occur, it will make them return to gambling again and if the losses occur more often, it will make them want to continue to recover their losses, but instead of wanting to recover the losses, it actually makes them addicted and experience problems. others are just worse. Apart from that, if they become addicted they will not realize that they are addicted and I don't think they will admit that they are addicted and when we say that they are addicted what will probably happen is anger from that person because when they are addicted their emotions will easily rise.

The push or pull that occurs can make us trapped in deeper gambling, not many people are able to restrain themselves when this happens. I myself have experienced it, but for now I am proud because I no longer have attitudes and behavior or thoughts like that. For now, when I have lost, I stop without thinking and do other activities that are more efficient for myself. .
We need to know whether we are addicted or not, it depends on our own perception of what gambling is like.

Can you comfortably tell yourself that you have never been addicted to gambling and that you can never be addicted to gambling because of how you go about it?

I can claim myself that I have never been addicted to gambling, although I do not have that much motivation for gambling. I bet only a few times but lost only won two to three times but later lost my money since then I quit gambling. So far I have controlled myself I have no urge to gamble, and I am not addicted to gambling. If I were addicted to gambling, I would definitely be attracted to gambling again and again, and I would be motivated to gamble. But I am not addicted to gambling because I don't feel that much desire for gambling, and I don't like it, but gambling can be done by all people who are not addicted. If you quit gambling, and you have motivation to gamble in the future you will definitely not be addicted, so if you quit gambling you will never become addicted.

That's good if you never been addicted to gambling because that will be too risky for you as you will gets many problems. We will not know what problem that we will gets from gambling but for sure, we will lose our money and we can't fills our daily needs if we lose all of the money. We can still playing gambling but with limitation so our lose will not be too big especially if we can always control ourselves when playing gambling. We have our choice to stay away from the gambling addiction by using limitation and other things that we already learn so we can enjoy gambling games as a part of the entertainment.

People can playing gambling but they must have control to avoids the gambling addiction because gambling can seduce them easily and if they becomes addicted to gambling, they can't thinks clear of what they will do in gambling. They can use all of their money to playing gambling especially if they wants to wins from many gambling games but that will not always happen because gambling is just an entertainment and not a place to make money.

Been addicted to gambling or anything in this life is a decision we make either consciously or unconsciously, so if a person happens to have had a strong will and sticks to it over time, example to gamble responsibly without been carried away by greed, then there is absolutely nothing that could change the mind of such individual. It is a proven fact. Whereas, majority of the people who fall victim to gambling addiction are always either people who are depressed or those who sees it as the gateway to getting rich quick.

I agree with what you said and there are also those people who are too bored with their life. Gambling can sometimes be addictive because we just keep on playing it every day, without any rest. At first, we might see it as entertainment because we have nothing to do but as it goes on, the approach is changing. Either we want to win it or we are so frustrated that we want our money back so bad because it stepped on our ego that we losing.
I have been in that position before and thankfully I changed my approach, the simple cure that I did was to take a long rest and after that, I don't think about the games anymore. There's also the feeling of getting fed up of the repeated results. It's like I only knew what will happen next and that's the reason I stopped.

Maybe you were able to control yourself because you were stubborn in your decisions. But not everyone can do that. There are also many who enjoy gambling, but not everyone gambles for addiction. Who gamble without enjoyment will become addicted if they gamble for a long time, they are more likely to become addicted. I gambled where the addiction worked in me temporarily but later I was able to control it. Those who gamble for a long time will become addicted. Once I was able to understand that gambling is not for making money it can only be for entertainment and my addiction started to decrease.

I'm not sure that addiction is 100 percent the gambler's fault. 
Yes, I agree with the phenomenon that people often want to get into trouble themselves or even want to replace reality with their fantasies: as happens in gambling addiction.
In this case, the brain wants to escape from problems. But the fact is that many people themselves are healthy and they become addicted not because of the reasons described above, but because the game is to blame for causing them to become addicted.

The game only influences the player, but the fact is that all players are different people with their own lives and problems in it, as well as with the genetic data that they received at birth. I have seen players who are smart and very interested in conversation, friendship and other matters, but when they touch the game they become completely different, as if the beast inside them has come out. At such moments, I realized that the game is not as harmless as it really seems. Players who are predisposed to gambling have the hardest time resisting this, but what I am sure of is that they should try and maybe the day will come after which they will be able to not depend on the game.

Can you comfortably tell yourself that you have never been addicted to gambling and that you can never be addicted to gambling because of how you go about it?

But I am not addicted to gambling because I don't feel that much desire for gambling, and I don't like it, but gambling can be done by all people who are not addicted. If you quit gambling, and you have motivation to gamble in the future you will definitely not be addicted, so if you quit gambling you will never become addicted.

Gambling consists of an extrinsically motivated force which doubles the difficulty to quit entirely. There are millions and one methods to quit gambling, but making it work remains sacrosanct for most players. Moreover, by continuous repetition of a gambling habit, one can't easily put it to an end. Players can only change by applying similar force in positive way through constant repetition of ways to quit gambling. Deleting gambling apps, dismissing related ads, and spending time with family, are few added effective means to change an impulsive  behavior like gambling. Therefore, a player must get himself readied to implement these changes if he wants to quit.

It is possible that people who don't like gambling or don't gamble much will not get addicted because they don't see it as something they cannot do without. You don't derive any pleasure in gambling for that reason you only gamble once in a while which is very good, because you can control yourself from gambling at all.

Most gamblers were addicted before some of them were able to overcome it, while some were unable to overcome it which affected their lives negatively to the point that some of them got abandoned by their families and loved ones, while some committed suicide. Addiction is bad and can mess up with your future plans or goals.

[Mr. Magkaisa]

      -      Being an addict in gambling is a matter of choice, as you will not be an addict if you do not choose to gamble for gambling most of the time of your life. What others say is that for entertainment, they are just gambling, but eventually. It also becomes an addict.

As long as you have no self-control and the limit of gambling, you will eventually have a gambling addiction because we are also making a reason for us to gamble that we do not realize that we are losing control of it.

[EluguHcman]

Almost 90% of the people who have a thing against gambling do so because they feel that gambling is addictive. But come to think of it, isn't addiction a choice? After reading lots of stories on the effects of being an addicted gambler, I feel it's 100% possible to tell myself that I can never be addicted to gambling and won't ever get addicted.

This most subjected discussion gambling addiction is actually a choice as you said which everyone beginner gamblers has always taken caution about so that it does not become a thing of them but how really do they finally becomes a victim?

Obviously they can not tell it and at some extend when you try to call on their attention about their addiction they would neither not agree with you that they have fallen the addictive victim. How?

It all happened as tolerance of loosing more than what they can afford to loose then let go of it which occurs time after time and just because they could control their emotions at when looses for huge amounts, they never realizes that an addition is approaching not until they come to track their gambling records and also their savings then they will understand that they have been betting and loosing more that is affecting their financial goals.

At some points, it may become a time of courage to refrain from their addiction while otherwise, it becomes uncontrollable by which they would keep up gambling irresponsibly with the same goal of chasing profits or trying to recover their losts.

There then, it becomes an accidental addiction which they do not know how it began and was not a choice for them.

It's quite difficult to understand everything you say because you say the same thing in all your sentences, but I get several points that the point is that gambling addiction will never occur if we are able to control ourselves well while we are involved in this activity. And on the other hand, if you feel that you do not have excessive interest in gambling, such as not feeling like continuing the game when you win, then maybe it could be said that you are not addicted, because usually addiction is when someone's interest is very high, especially when they succeed in achieving victory, in the end they will have difficulty ignoring greed. Another thing is that an increase in interest in gambling often occurs without the gambler realizing it, meaning that even though for example now you feel that you are not addicted, that doesn't mean that you will always be in that situation, because there is a possibility for you to experience an increase in interest, meaning Awareness really has to be a priority.

However it depends on the gambler. In a case like this you only have to talk about yourself along because you know yourself better than others. Some gamblers that are addicted might be their fault and some are not. That's why I said it depends on the gambler. Only a gambler can know if he made himself addicted or not. Some don't know what addiction means until it meets them and other gambler knew but still they became addicted, these are they people who we can blame for becoming addicted because they know about addiction but they are adamant to it.

Your analogy is interesting but I don't think a person would play under the decision of the game, he decides the game he is going to play to begin with and that is your choice, because basically you can choose not to play and not even try gambling, but because you choose it you enter into it on your own decision not someone else's, and therein lies your mistake, if you don't play you will get addicted, of course not, it all starts with you choosing to try to do it.

[dansus021]

Addiction is 100% your choice. Of course frenn i mean we are the Player at first so if we get addicted to something then is 100% of our choice. Maybe before we play gamble sometimes we look people winning and you tried and get addiction and this is pure and all of your choices

In my opinion, it is very likely that addiction occurs due to a gambler who from the start ignores the negative side of the activity, usually they come because they are attracted to the opportunity to win so that in the end they fall into and are carried away by various impulsive actions that lead them to addiction. And also in my opinion, whatever you do, if from the start you understand what you are doing in terms of understanding the good and bad of gambling, then in my opinion you shouldn't end up with an addiction, because after all, no one wants to experience the bad effects it causes. by an addictive situation.

On the other hand, everyone has a different perspective in responding to everything, and in my opinion, if only they understood the good and bad of the activities they are doing then they should not end up addicted, meaning that addiction is not caused by the games provided but caused by a gambler's negligence towards the risks that will always be part of this activity which ultimately makes them easy to fall into and be carried away, and we can see that there are still some gamblers who are not addicted in the sense that they do not experience significant negative impacts which are usually they were gamblers who came on holiday.

Nobody wakes up and says, "Im gonna be a gambling addict." It sneaks up on you. You lose a little, you try to win it back, and before you know it, you're in a hole you cant climb out of. And its not about being careless. Everyone starts small, but gambling messes with your head. It makes you think you're smarter than you are, luckier than you are. Its a trap.

The worst part is, it happens so slow you barely notice. One day you're having fun, the next day you're obsessed. You think you're in control, but you're not. It takes over your life. It hurts the people you love. It ruins everything. But you gotta face it. You gotta admit you have a problem.

The good news is, you're not alone. There's help out there. There's technology now that can keep track of your habits, show you when you're going off the rails. Its like having a friend watching your back, a friend who knows what you're going through and wants to help you win this fight.

After reading lots of stories on the effects of being an addicted gambler, I feel it's 100% possible to tell myself that I can never be addicted to gambling and won't ever get addicted.

If for instance, I decide that I'm only going to gamble once a week and that at each time I will only gamble with an amount like $20 based on my current financial strength, would I ever become addicted to gambling?  Isn't it because you don't have any plan in place and just gamble as your spirit leads that makes you become careless with your gambling and become addicted to the process? Just want to ask this question;

Can you comfortably tell yourself that you have never been addicted to gambling and that you can never be addicted to gambling because of how you go about it?

addiction is a disease that can affect anyone, it is not something that a person can talk about with guarantees that they will never be addicted, no matter how responsible a person is, manages their bankroll well and plays with small amounts of money, even so, a one day this person may have a problem that negatively affects their social or financial life and this person quickly starts playing a lot to the point of becoming addicted, it is important to be clear that gambling is not to blame for the addiction that people he has.

In most cases, when a family discovers that they have a relative who is addicted to something, the tendency is for that family to think that the addicted relative is doing it on purpose and that they could cure themselves, because they don't understand the severity of the disease, curing addiction. it's not easy. and a long process, which becomes tiring. So I wouldn't say I can't become addicted one day. because I know that addiction is a disease and I don't know what kind of problems I will have in the future and whether such problems wouldn't destroy me psychologically to the point that I start to overindulge in gambling to forget the problems and at the end of the day I become become addicted, in my opinion anything is possible, but for now I play in moderation and I'm fine

[Agbe]

Yes addiction can be controlled if the person is not a chronic gambler. But if the person is a greedy gambler and he wants to win at all the time then addiction is not far from the person. In gambling you must lose and win. And when you loss, you don't have to pursue or chase your loss and once you do that then you are also chasing for addition as well. And the best way is, when you play gamble and you loss, you have to accept the loss and move on and if you win then don't be over excited because that might want you to win more and addiction is just at the corner waiting. Just know yourself and play with good mind. Then all is good.

Sincerely speaking most of the addiction in gambling is cause by we %100. I would say Gambling is a matter of choice if you ask me. because the word"gamble" is only a word use to describe the attitude of gambling addiction comes only when we put our interest in gambling. Otherwise if you chose not to, you can never be addictive. %90 of people who are addicted to gambling is as a result of constant lose chasing win.
