When another addiction fuels gambling addiction.

[Josefjix]

It seems op is never addicted to any of these things he mentioned above or maybe op heard from a story of an addict or seen an addict struggling to stop his bad habits to better one but doesn't understand the journey and obstacles an addict is passing through.

It's not always possible to be addicted to all the bad habits the same time, I mean the gambling, alcohol, drugs, marijuana, pills, womanizing and the rest at the same time. It's not always possible I say.

These addictions is truly a step by step procedure from one to another after quiting the other one, the next follow or all stop at once, it only takes the honest discipline dwag to maintain himself out of that addictive mess.

Thank you OP for bringing this up because most times gambling addiction does not just happen, it could be traced to addiction to something else. There are people who are into drugs such that if they don't satisfy that cravings, they are ready to do anything funny. Such person cannot stay without money and the moment they are told that gambling can fund their cravings, they can go about it the wrong way and will definitely become addicted to it. This is just one of many examples of when one addiction can lead to gambling addiction.

I agree with you, in fact, when these people need money, they want to get money quickly in any way, and they see gambling as a means of earning money quickly, and from that time they enter the world of gambling. They are ready to take any risk to fulfill their greed or needs, and that is why they dare to gamble by borrowing money from others, but by doing this they never get success. Because it is never possible to earn huge money from gambling. And thus they sink into another addiction, that is, gambling addiction. That is why one should always maintain the right perspective, and stay away from addictive things as much as possible.

Well said here. There are people who will do anything to satisfy their cravings those persons are more likely to take debt, double the money they have or steal to get what they want. That is how bad they want those things, if gambling becomes the solution they can get addicted to gambling when they want satisfy the other addiction. Take for example someone who is addicted to playing video games but have little money to get game life, shields, and guns to improve your chances of wining. That person can choose to gamble and make it a habit to satisfy the other addiction.

OP you have made points actually, even in some clubs they play gamble there which means by frequently going the club every time, such a gambler may become addicted to gambling even though it mostly involves physical gambling so quitting some social bad habits like the ones you made mention of alcoholic intake, smoking and all the rest can fuel addiction in gambling because some persons say they get inspiration to gamble when they are smoking tobacco or drinking alcohol which then means that if they could stay away from those addiction they can possibly reduce or quit gambling too because there will be nothing to give them the vibes anymore.

When we involve in gambling activities always, it can affect us which is why every gambler need to know what they are doing and somethings that could become a major problem to them. When we keep doing something everytime, we could easily become addicted to such things which is why gambling in moderation is very important not just trying to make money.
Every gamblers are always close to getting addiction but the discipline and risk management we fixed ourselves to is what is going to reduce our risk of getting addicted to gambling.

From my observation on addiction, i get to see how addiction is like a chain. Individuals moving from one addiction to another and how several addictions or one addiction can give birth/rise to the gambling addiction. We can all agree as an individual there are several things in life we can be addicted to aside gambling.

Substances like like alcohol or stimulants addiction (drinking), Nicotine dopamine and weed addiction (smoking), to mention a few others can influence a responsible gambler into becoming addicted. There are people in the society who gamble to humanize, smoke or drink, or go out on expensive rides and stuffs.

When it becomes difficult for someone is addicted to gambling to quit. I think its not just about quitting gambling he has to do, if he as any other thing he is addicted to he should first quit on those ones because quitting those ones might make him lose interest automatically in gambling.

I can’t say the opposite about what you mentioned since me personally went through this experience of accumulating addictions. I wasn’t proud of what I was doing, so I jumped into a circle of bad habits, addicted to multiple different types of dopamine activities. It was always either losing in gambling then heading to get high, later on I gambled more because I was out of my mind and felt like it’s super easy to win everything back. The second road, was getting high or drinking much to gamble, then ending my night with very bad losses.
However, I woke up fortunately before losing more than what I had now, the first step was sharing my story without being afraid as a result I found many good people that helped during my journey.

Now, I really warn people to never fall into many addictions, especially, not running from one to another addiction. All of us have the ability to resist and control, it’s inside us, not so easy but possible to regain control.

I quit smoking for good, and I was a heavy smoker back then, and specially when I go to land base casinos, I will bring like 2 pack of cigarettes with me. Specially when playing slots and sitting there, you just don't know, how many cigarettes I will have specially when I hit the bonus as I'm excited to see what will be the result of it.

But since I quit it already years ago, I still gamble though, but not like I used to because of my budget and we all know that priorities change. However, I do not know if there is co-relation between the two or it's just my unconscious mind telling me to gamble during that time.

Precisely for someone who is already addicted to gambling, they will not hesitate to do things that are beyond the limit, such as borrowing money with the aim of only getting a win that can cover all their losses, including paying back the previous loan. This is the same as a gambler who will try to satisfy his desires and yes, this desire is none other than betting with a state of mind that is already in disarray. This can clearly destroy their lives sooner or later.
But when someone is addicted to gambling, I think they are unlikely to be addicted to other things, such as drinks or others, because someone who is addicted means they are only obsessed with that.
Except maybe with the example you gave, but with him gambling is to get a win where the other goal is to fulfill his needs in terms of game equipment, shields, and weapons as you said.

I don't believe it. Because not all addictions are wrong, or we could say it ruin our lives. If we think gambling addiction is wrong and want to stop it, then we should focus on it rather than working on others, as it is not relevant. Besides, it has different approaches. Unless you are saying to divert our minds to other things. But if you address other things as testing if it works, it is useless. Instead, we directly address the thing that we want to change. Sorry, but the solution is far away from solving the problem.

To be honest, all addictions or addictions that push our lives to destroy us must avoid us if our lives will be beautiful. And betting gambling addiction it has become a fashion now. What people want can’t leave even if they want. I think gambling addiction is okay if you can put it in control. And if you become more come to it, it will destroy your life. So I’ll say you’ll avoid any kind of addiction that will destroy your life.

Your thoughts are not bad either because if a person has multiple addictions such as drinking, smoking and alcohol addiction, then he should give up those addictions first because all these addictions are more dangerous than gambling. I am not saying that gambling addiction is not a dangerous addiction but I think that consuming drugs is more dangerous. If a person can give up consuming all these drugs, he will be much healthier and normal. When he is healthy and normal, he will be able to create a good focus on gambling and if he feels that he is or has become addicted to gambling, then he will be able to get out of gambling addiction by making his own decisions.

There are different addictions that fuels gambling addiction and it becomes more serious when you can't do without those addictions because it has become a part of you. There are some people that can't do without drinking or smoking and after they're done with those things, they'll start to gamble. Because their brain aren't functioning properly, they're always going to make mistakes which when they do, they'll start losing and this continues until maybe they'll get kicked out of the casino when it's a physical casinos that they're gambling but for online casinos, they'll only be able to stop when they have exhausted their bankroll. When another addiction fuels your gambling addiction, you can't stop gambling addiction without first stopping that addiction. When it's drinking, you'll have to avoid alcohol or you'll keep being addicted to gambling.

Yes, addiction is a complex thing, and not easy to handle. There are many factors that make addicts fail in treatment and end their addiction. Let alone gambling, even just cigarettes, it is really hard to leave it if you are addicted. When you really want to stop, you will definitely feel a bitter taste in your mouth, have a dizzy head, lose focus, often get angry, stressed, and so on.

Moreover, addiction to gambling is even more complex, and it is difficult to cure if it is only based on your own wishes. There must be cooperation with several things:
- Starting from full awareness and the intention to learn to reduce until you stop
- Supported by family or close people
- A supportive environment and those who are willing to protect you from gambling
- Go to professional treatment for gambling addiction
and several other treatments that also help.

it all has to be continuous because it is not easy to do

You know this can sounds very funny most times, but in some cases i think is so crazy. How can One claims to be inspired by smoking that always contribute to most of the health challenges we have been facing nowadays? That's to show that most people has a very low mentality. Alcohol is even the worst here, because when you take it to the extent of being drunk how did you think you can be inspired when you are already in the influence of alcohol? Though I have not heard about anything like this before, I think is those singers that always get inspired by smoking or drinking not gamblers.

I don't think that it works that way OP. IMO, quitting on gambling doesn't mean that he will quit on other things he is addicted as well. On the flip side, quitting on other things outside of gambling doesn't mean that he will quit gambling as well.

There might be some people out there that finds alcohol addiction to expensive for them so they'll quit on it, but still continue gambling. There might be some that will stop gambling, but still drink alcohol or drugs. There are some that will quit all of the things he's addicted with, and it's good, but starting it is the hardest part because if you're addicted to something, it's hard to stop it unless there will be somebody that will help you quit on it. Quitting on the things that we are addicted with is easy to say, but in reality it's very hard to do, and I've experienced it myself when I got addicted to playing online games. It's hard to stop and it came to a point where my body always wants me to play. To cut the story short, I just stopped when I experienced bad things happening to my body already. I'm too thin, malnourished, hasn't eat properly for quite some time and it's all because of my addiction to playing online games unfortunately.

Overall, quitting in whatever we're addicted with is a hard thing to do, but we will only realize that we need to quit on it when we experienced bad things that are connected with it.

Then what if they don't really have some other sort of addiction on the side? Like,... Just what if? That alone would prove your whole theory wrong huh?

I don't think an addiction can have any interconnection -- at least not in the way that you just explained... The reasons would be that most addictions don't cast a dime for maintenance. Let's assume pornography for an instance -- most girls on OF cost nothing more than $20 for subscription. Meanwhile, as a regular gambler, you can spend more than that in a month.
Everything lies in your hands; in whatever you do, before you begin any habit, ask yourself this simple question -- am I ready to do this till my dying day just incase?

I do not like any kind of addiction. Any kind of addiction destroys people's lives. Addiction disrupts people's normal lifestyle. It takes years for people to quit smoking cigarettes. However, I think that if a person wants to get rid of an addiction, they should definitely quit it immediately and should not test later for any reason.

I want to say that if someone gets rid of an addiction and for any reason asks to test again, he will never be able to get rid of the addiction.

It is true that when you want to get out of an addiction or, when you take that thing again because of your mind's desire, it will give rise to addiction in you again. And this has a greater impact on things like smoking, drugs and gambling.

Many times, after getting rid of an addiction, people think, "Just try it once, it won't be a problem, after taking it once, I will give it up forever", and take that thing again with this attitude. But this is their biggest mistake.

That is why you have to have a strong mentality. Once you get out of something, you will never want to get that thing back in your life. Because once you go back to that path, the addiction slowly takes control again.

Addiction does not only occur in gambling, there are several aspects of human lives where addiction is being practiced, including the way we are eating, sleeping, or even doing a particular task, we should know that addiction comes in as a result of what we are too used to in doing, and that has become part of our daily life or routine we can't afford to do without, it comes mostly with negative signs and those addicted could be seen as the ones that can't afford to maintain a particular level of being disciplined in doing something.

I haven't really experienced something as such before but I think you're right and addictions truly triggers addiction.Similarly, people who have been victims of previous traumatic experiences can generate the urge of multiple addiction using it as a means to cope or get over stress.
Using an addiction to surpass or prevent yourself from other addictions.Funny enough,this incidents like would steamm up other casually
Addictions too.

[LUCKMCFLY]

Because once you go back to that path, the addiction slowly takes control again.

We as thinking human beings have the little Conviction that if we want something we get it and if we want to leave something we leave it , what is it that Stops us? Temptation? Yes, emotions? Maybe, but if you have already had a very bad Experience with a particular activity , if you are going to return you should do so carefully, I say to anyone, if you enter a casino only risk the amount of money you are willing to lose, if you lose you have to have the discipline to not gamble Anymore.

[Oluwa-btc]

I don't think when someone quits any of the addictions they find themselves with, it will make them lose interest in gambling automatically.

That's not possible because each addiction we are addicted to has its own means of stopping. You can't stop addiction to something else and expect the other addiction you have in your blood system to stop without following its due process.

You must learn how to follow each addiction according to the way you were told on how to stop them if you want any positive results with your involvement with each of them

True. Each addiction has its own push differently. Although addictions such as drinking and smoking weed can trigger other forms of addiction in my thoughts. There's no any kind of addiction that cannot be driven through drinking because it causes disruption in the thinking faculty of an individual which , depending on the substance taken and it's resultant effect. But like any other addiction, gambling addiction isn't something that happens overnight, it takes a great period of consistent engagement with the act. While one form of addiction can trigger another form of addiction such as gambling, it is done differently and engaged differently.

Addiction transfer is a real risks and it usually occurs during the recovery of other addictions.Imagine trying to get off from gambling and you eventually catch yourself been obsessesively attached to hard drugs and the likes.
Different addictions activates the brain in similar ways and so the addictive person always remembers to get a replacement for his previous addiction.
