When another addiction fuels gambling addiction.

Always making sure this is brief as possible.

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 have to agree to you to some extent. I too have seen such people where one addiction is just a starting point for another.
Personally, I don't think I have addiction of any sorts. I do gamble and drink a lot and occasionally smoke weed (I don't smoke tobacco), but I'm not addicted to it. I can just omit them if I'm busy or could go on weeks without indulging on gambling or alcohol. I also have a strict rule that I don't gamble when intoxicated. In past I had some bad experience gambling when drunk or being high. I now just have more control over when to stop. I don't do hard drugs or prostitution.
But there are many people who are addicted to all of those. Gambling, Intoxication and Prostitution is a common trio for most wealthy men and are one of the largest reason for men destroying their family.

For someone to have the urge to gamble when under the influence alcohol means that he or she is already a gambling addict just like you said... gambling addiction gives birth to other addictions like the abuse of drugs, narcotics, alcohol and so on.. addicted gamblers lean towards all these because of the emotional depression that they go through... emotional gambling leads to a whole lot of damage

Addiction to anything is bad for us. So it is very important for us to be aware so that we do not become addicted. Gambling addiction is bad. And I have seen many gamblers who have become addicted to various types of drugs after becoming addicted to gambling. Alcohol is easily available in most casinos. That is why many gamblers are attracted to it. Besides, I know many gamblers who gamble regularly. After winning in gambling, they organize drinking or smoking parties. Also, they take various types of drugs after winning in gambling. Again, when they lose in gambling, they become depressed.

... fight against yourself...

Yes, and against a society that gains from your spiral. Rehabilitation has benefits. Sometimes. Nevertheless, it is a system as well. Still another area with rulesand another approach to measure performance. Real change is ugly and slow, not Instagrammable. You struggle with your own brain every morning before coffee. Learning to bear the boredom that once terrified you.

And families, nobody tells you the extent of addiction throws into a home. Even when the addict recovers, children, spouses, parents, everyone else is picking up the pieces. Simple psychology: you cannot heal from what you cannot feel. Everyone wants shortcuts, and there are none. But there is no permanently broken either. Bodies mend. Minds rewire. Although the system wants you broken, buying, spinning in place, but screw the system.

That is the most rebellious move - staying clean, or at least trying. Learning how to be bored, how to forgive oneself for failing, how to ask for help even when you are sure you do not deserve it.
(You desire hope? Look at the folks showing up for one another: messy, flawed, still fighting. It starts here. Every single time.)

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 understand your point perfectly well OP, it is like when you are addicted of something, there is every tendencies that you can crave for some kind of habits which might likely be comfortable with that of your already addiction.
And at your point of fighting it out, you will need to accept a possible change from the primary addicted habit before you can be Abel to tackle the secondary.

But relating this fact to gambling is what might be possible but it is unimaginable to me instead, what I think will be responsible to nurture a gambling addiction is greed and when you are too lazy to work for your money and think gambling is the means to earn living.

So to be rescued out of this, you must realized labouring such of your expenses on gambling does not worth it because you won't win in a long term instead, you just keep trying your luck and even when you wins, indisciplines will make you lose it all back to the house in a very short time.
So, once you realizes your lapses on that course, you can be able to defeat your addiction.

Gambling is an emotional game. From here, fun, depression, financial loss, emotional expression are all possible. When someone drinks alcohol or becomes emotional for any reason, the tendency to gamble may increase in him if he is already an addicted gambler. Gambling activity is more common in a gambler when he is highly emotional.

Gambling is based on luck when you become very emotional for some reason then you go there to test your luck. The reason for this is that you become emotional when you lose something despite having expectations. And so it is natural for the desire to gamble to arise in you at that time. So yes some things can work like a chain.

Most addicted gamblers usually go around clubs where they get to play different kinds of games and they gamble with their money while drinking and smoking so it's not something new, the gamblers who are not known to be drunks are new gamblers or those who are not addicted to gambling but a core gambler whose life is around the club and in different gaming houses will always be see taking things to calm him down when he's losing money in gambling.

I think it's different now. The possibility that most gamblers are now just playing online casinos is higher than those who play in physical casinos. They don't drink, they don't smoke, they are just purely gambling online, and they cannot stop because it's easy access to play and also to deposit money. Plus, they can save money on gas when they drive to the casino, so they would rather use that money to gamble more.

But since the thread is about another addiction, fueling the gambling addiction. I bet it's alcohol that is mostly mixed with it. Alcohol makes a person braver, and he might deplete his money just trying to chase the losses.

Gambling too frequently is one of the ways people keeps getting addiction without there own awareness. A discipline gambler can also gamble often without getting addiction because they know when to leave and when to stay. A gambler can increase the fuel of gambling through greed which has been one of the factors that are responsible for gambling addiction.

Making use of risk management and profitable strategy have been a good way to stay safe from recklessly gambling activities which can be detrimental to our personal lifestyle. There are people that are still fighting hard to escape from this addiction problem but they can't eradicate it alone without the help of people around like friends and family. Addiction has different degrees and when greed was one of the major cause, it could escalate and become very hard to avoid.

A lot of things could have caused addiction, because people behave in strange manners of different kinds, until we have a gambler who will have a sense of humor to being responsible and having a well modest lifestyle, some are not disciplined enough to be able to gamble as it is expected  of them, and until they deal with their own personal self and control their behaviors in general, their taste for greed and any abnormal act at the cause of gambling may not be easily curbed or stops, this is what then now transcend to what is a big addiction in gambling or other things they do.

There are many different addictions and I think that if a person falls into an absolutely uncontrollable state (for example, after a strong drug or alcohol addiction), after which he goes to all extremes, then only then will he immediately come to gambling with an uncontrollable state. In fact, such a person most likely initially had mental problems, and everything that I described above is only a consequence of his illness.

The presence of other substances like alcohol and drugs can increase the level of gambling addiction.  That said, people who are sane can highly resist gambling addiction, between people who are drunk and the one who is not drunk, there is a huge possibility that the drunk one will be out of control.  This is also the reason why many advise not to get drunk when one is dealing with finances, including gambling of course because people who are drunk are defenseless in preventing their emotions from surfacing thus they will be susceptible to emotional gambling.

As the title states, the situation becomes more complicated and harder to fix when another addiction is involved in a person's gambling addiction and both issue of addiction is needed to be addressed in order for the person to recover his sanity.

But since the thread is about another addiction, fueling the gambling addiction. I bet it's alcohol that is mostly mixed with it. Alcohol makes a person braver, and he might deplete his money just trying to chase the losses.

Alcohol does not make the person braver, it makes the person more aggressive because his sense of control is not working.

[LUCKMCFLY]

But it is not recommended to copying his habit in gambling especially if you don't have good control over yourself. You will drag into gambling deeper without you realize and make you addicted to gambling in shortly.

No, in no way is imitating addiction harmful. I said imitate good things, things that can be copied and that I know will bring good responses to our lives. Everything that is positive, attitudes and aptitudes, can be copied. Addiction is something that destroys people, and anything that helps those who suffer from it is welcome.

Where addiction becomes very tricky and can elude a less cautious mind is that even when you're addicted to a positive activity, it's not still a good thing. Creating a balance in about anything we do and have a kind of moderation in it helps us shape our involvements in other activities. For example, someone who's very addicted to his job and has little or no time left for any other thing, including relaxation time or family, that same person would be an easy addict if he ever ventures into gambling.

Honestly, I don't think that all addictions are related to each other, surely if an individual
has an addiction to a soft drug he could easily move on to a hard drug.
But if you are addicted to cigarettes, it has no connection with gambling.
Any addiction is harmful, unfortunately no one is exempt from this discomfort, everyone has the risk.
Staying balanced is perhaps the most difficult thing for a human being to achieve.

A gambler becomes addicted to other addictions only when he faces losses in gambling, a person addicted to gambling is more attracted to addictions like drinking while forgetting his past memories. Maybe the gambler is most attracted to gambling to find a way to earn money and it can also be the other way if he is involved in various bad activities. Different people are different.
Some people participate in gambling after getting addicted because then they can use good thinking and intelligence properly and do not hesitate to take risks. Again, some people become anxious after losing money in gambling and they drink alcohol or take drugs to forget the next time and the pain of losing money.

There's so much links with gambling addictions and certainly they birth other addictions solely when it can't be controlled. Gambling addictions differs and it cut across all other areas but knowing that this is actually going to lead you to an uncontrollably habits is something that shouldn't be taking for granted.

[rachael9385]

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.

what do you mean gambling addiction is okay as long as you can control it? is there an addict that can control themselves when the very reason they became an addict in the first place is because they could not control themselves and indulged too much to what they should not be doing

It made me laugh for a moment about how could an addict could be in control. Addiction basically means you're out of control. You're not aware about the things you do already ruins your life as well as people around you.

I can't think of any addicition other than greed for money that will cause people fall into gambling addiction. They seek other source of income and they see gambling as a way to do it. It is very accessible to gamble nowadays and you just simply need a money to be able to play.

I think what this person is trying to say is stopping gambling addiction, it's hard to control this when you are addicted to it that's a fact, but this doesn't mean that it cannot be stopped. A lot of people give excuses for their addictions without making conscious efforts to stop it. Blaming your addictions on dopamine rush and greed isn't going to help you eradicate this problem. They only way out is by trying to fix it

When a gambler is in a position where he or she is already addicted, it is very difficult to stop, and it is not uncommon for a gambling addict to not even realise they are addicted.

Because i have several friends who are severely addicted, even to the point where they don't care about the allocation of gambling funds, wherever they keep the money in the end they will still use it, whether in the bank, in the wallet, on the exchange, cash, all are not spared.

[YOSHIE]

When another addiction fuels gambling addiction.

Not without certain causes and factors a person addicted substances automatically changed behavior to other addictions such as gambling and so on, it is called change in the brain, if someone has consumed their brain chemicals can trigger desires, Encouragement, pleasure in carrying out activities, especially in gambling, the substance will trigger the first addiction to the second and so on.

So do not be surprised if you see those who gamble in the physical casino beside them there is alcohol, it continues until gambling is over, what's more the current situation is losing in gambling But the next day the urge continues to gamble, until they really stop with repentance, if not addicted to the body to death.

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.  

Curing an addict is not just by saying stop but special supervision needs to be carried out and as much as possible given other activities that are much more productive so that they can avoid the illusion of gambling. It may seem excessive when someone says gambling addiction, but there are many people who are trapped and find it difficult to stop and there are several factors that may encourage someone to get involved excessively with no control.

Another way is to limit money and do not give ATM cards that have a balance so that they cannot make deposits. This is a practical way that parents can apply and may not work for addicts who control their own money. Things like this need to be closely monitored because addiction is not something that is easy to cure.

[LUCKMCFLY]

Doing a particular thing excessively makes It an habit, this is how the mind works. Gambling is something that is very addictive, if you give in to the negative sides of it you will start getting addicted. Gambling addiction can make a gambler addicted to other things, this happens when they are no longer able to exercise self control and discipline. you must always learn to keeps things balanced, always do things moderately

You are right about that, doing an activity in excess is something that can get us used to, but based on this we should take advantage of the good things, like making money, Working , but not playing in a casino because that is something that can lead you to bankruptcy if there is no Control , then the casino activity before executing it is better to always consider the money that is going to be Spent, and having that as a base and paying attention to our own plan then things can turn out better , I do that.
