How gambling addiction develops

[laijsica]

Actually gambling addiction do comes in gradual process, it doesn't comes at a time but how to control it in the early stage is always a problem that most gamblers normally having. Because though they would be seeing it as something that very common without realizing that as day goes by that is how they getting more addicted in gambling. So however, I think it's essential to understand when you are getting addicted to gambling and prevent yourself from it, because that is the only way a gambler can be free addiction.

Although the symptoms of gambling addiction may not be obvious at first, when you become addicted to it, it will be like a tragic cry for you. Most gamblers do not actually realize that they are addicted. They are bound by the win/lose cycle as soon as they start gambling. The moment they start winning, they become more focused on gambling. If they start losing they become more focused on recovering their lost money and at some point they are addicted. The chances of becoming addicted are high at every stage of gambling. You can prevent addiction with your willpower.

I am not directly saying that it can't be fight but it's a worse phase of addiction which could be difficult to fight and change their scope and mentality towards that.

This way, I can better understand your remarks about the impossibility of recovery from gambling addiction . Anything is possible for a person. And as long as he is alive, there is always hope for recovery. But yes, if we are talking about gambling or drug addiction, then it can be treated, but not independently. Here I entirely agree with you. Such patients should be treated by good specialists, and for a long time, we are talking about a period of at least six months.
Fortunately, I do not have any addictions, but I know people who were like that and returned after treatment as entirely different people. Only a few can get out of the game's clutches on their own. But this does not mean that you do not need to fight.

It can be said to have been cured but after sometimes they wouldn't know when they fall back to their previous ways of gambling, that is why anyone who are gambling addicts it's better to isolate them from having access to anything gadgets or mobile devices, even to allow them go to a local casino to gamble because without these restrictions they would easily go back to repeat what has been cured. That is why it's important to always discuss about the possibilities of someone getting addiction and should be avoided with all measures otherwise when it turns out the other way could be very difficult to handle.

Winning stage: Gambling addiction starts off with the alluring winning stage, where everything seems perfect, and you are winning more often than you are losing. It's easy to get hooked at this stage, because of the thrill of winning, and the gambler still believes that they are in control. However, this stage is usually short-lived.
Losing stage: Losing stage follows after the winning stage. Here, you start to lose significant amounts of money, but since you know what it’s like to win, you continue to gamble, believing that the next win must be just around the corner.
Chasing/desperation phase: This is when you have lost so much money that you will do anything to win it back. This may involve lying to friends and family members, borrowing or stealing money in order to gamble, and chasing your losses. By this stage, it is extremely difficult to quit, since the gambler is in so much financial ruin that they are desperate for money.

Everything may not feel fine at all from the beginning but the gambling addict will think he can still make money from gambling. It may start from losing stage, then winning some little amount of money, followed by losing high amount of money. In a way the gambler will see himself losing all the time.

I know someone that was an addict, he said his first bet was a loss for him but he thought he can start winning one day. He won but filled with more losses and more deposit of money into his betting account and more losses.

CONCLUSION: Gambling may be a great problem if adequate measure isn't take. One should just to observe himself/herself for necessary changes in case one observed he/she is gradually becoming an addict.

Any gambler that did not know he should use small amount of money to gamble may become addicted. The key to avoiding addiction is having little percentage used from your income on gambling. It should not be more than 1% that should be used for gambling.

In fact, people become addicted to gambling because of their greed and excessive emotions. When a gambler participates in gambling and if that gambler wins in gambling and later starts a means of earning money based on that win, he will gradually become addicted to gambling. When he gradually realizes the possibility of becoming addicted to gambling, a kind of financial desire will develop in him. He will always ask people for money and promise to give it later. He will borrow money from people and if he is not able to repay the loan, he will always be in a worried mood and will not be able to concentrate on his work. However, to get rid of all gambling addiction, gambling should be accepted as entertainment and cannot be used as a means of earning money. Also, gambling should not be taken with emotion, but one can stay away from gambling addiction.

Gambling addiction develops over time, it can start by simply chasing a lose and as the gambler continues to lose he'll become obsessed to recover everything. I think that the craving to continue gambling even when the gambler is winning can also lead to addiction, not only through chasing loses. If a gambler is winning and continues to gamble heavily without a care and can spend all day gambling can lead to addiction. Full blown addiction is when a gambler loses total control over their gambling, whether they're winning or losing, they just don't know how to stop, but due to the house edge they'll lose everything on the long run.

But the thing is that many players think only about bets at the moment of the game, and it is necessary to think more generally about bets and the casino. As if this is our continuous path, who begins to understand this, they find themselves in a more advantageous position. They understand that their gaming session today is only part of a long process. Therefore, there is no need to win back here and now and such players are controlled by emotions. When I understood all this, I began to relate to the game completely easily, I do not have the desire to win back, I wanted more players to understand this and think more with their minds, and not with emotions that completely take over them.

Are many stages that make someone addicted to gambling, but can this understand? Of course not because everyone only feels pleasure and emotion when playing so that all of that will make the human subconscious brain unable to think clearly about the steps of responsible and appropriate approach to avoid excessive decisions.
When someone is addicted they are no longer normal gambler, in this condition they will only be able to feel the impact when they have really spent lot of money and losse many valuable things.

[gunhell16]

Perhaps gambling addiction starts or starts with greed, or the more a gambler experiences winning, the higher the chances that the gambler will continue, because of course he will think that
he might always get lucky.

That is what is often planted in their minds that they might get lucky again when they gamble, then there is also the habit that when they lose, they chase their losses
or increase the amount they bet because in their mind, when they win, they will immediately recover what they lost, which is not really true.

The fastest way one can become addict to gamble is through loss. When gamblers begins to lose their bets they become desperate to recover their losses meanwhile its never easy to recover losses from gamble. However majority of the gamblers that falls in these categories are the new gamblers, they are kind of desperate to profit cause of the information they get from another successful gambler. Although all the points you listed out are correct because they are actually what leads gamblers to addiction.

Anything can be a reason to the advancement we have in gambling addiction, though it may started from similar things nwe pay little or no attention to while gambling, such could be greed, mismanagement of funds, wreckless gambling and any other forms of indiscipline from the way we gamble to later yield to what we know as gambling addiction, it can be noticed as well that not all gamblers were found in this category.

[Slow death]

Addiction is a very difficult disease to cure. I am not a doctor or psychologist, but from what I have observed from people who have had the unfortunate misfortune of being addicted to gambling, they had problems in real life that they were unable to deal with, which is why they looked for things that would entertain them to forget about their problems.

But it became even more problematic when they lost money. The desire to win a lot of money to solve their problems in real life quickly led them to addiction. That is why, in my opinion, people who have problems in real life should not play in casinos.

this is true, but sadly a lot of gamblers either don't know what these preventive measures are or they try to downplay or even justify their worsening gambling habits. this just further proves how important "gambling awareness" is, it lets people know the possible dangers gambling has and simultaneously educates people on how to be a responsible gambler.

[Miles2006]

Gambling activity is not some kind of easy or a joke so if anyone sees gambling activity as such they need to stop gambling till they understand. Winning or losing has nothing to do with the number of profit or lose rather consider the end result as a game no hard feeling attach, the easiest way to draw an addict is money definitely the game must not always go in our favor that’s normal but, they fail to understand to an extend stealing or lying, I think at this level the person in question can’t quit gambling.

CONCLUSION: Gambling may be a great problem if adequate measure isn't take. One should just to observe himself/herself for necessary changes in case one observed he/she is gradually becoming an addict.

Many factors that can occur in someone can be addicted to gambling.
For example:
• Economic and unemployment factors are the main problems that occur because the gambling industry develops.

Sometimes I often see gamblers making small amounts of deposits, first gambling and they win and it happens repeatedly several times, that's where the situation changes so that they continue to gamble over time they will result in addiction, that's a common reason.

As I said addiction is another factor of the laziness of the user himself lazy to work, gambling causes someone to continue to do their gambling activities.

[Findingnemo]

When someone starts thinking gambling is a form of survival thing rather than entertainment then it is a big red flag and they need some form of help from an outsider whether it be a closed one or a professional depending on the severity of the addiction. Even though there are lot of similarity between gambling addict and drug addict the way of treatment can differs, we doesn't really need aggressive medication to treat the gambling addict, just a break from the gambling itself can be enough most of the time and others may need medication to control the aggregation or restlessness that occurs in the reversal period.

Because there are so many gamblers who start because they want to win and also be able to make money without doing research first to find out and learn the risks that exist in order to anticipate or immediately realize and know the signs so that they can immediately overcome them when they realize it.
And one of the easiest signs to watch out for is, gambling continuously without regard to the capital given and almost all gamblers feel and realize that it is a must and if gamblers study or do research before doing it then they will immediately realize and know what to do, and besides that the most important thing before gambling is to play with full awareness because this has the potential to be able to easily control yourself and also the game.
And indeed all of that is not easy, but it must be done and made a habit so that gambling activities can be maintained and can also be played with full responsibility.

Gambling addictions didn't just start in a day, it started little by little before it developed to the extent that one can't let go of it in a day.

I will kinda agree with you that gambling addiction started with little wins or the urge to have some win in gambling. In that process, the urge to win in gambling starts to increase before it later turns to gambling addiction.

It is very unfortunate that some gamblers are more after having some gambling wins, neglecting the dangers of pursuing wins in gambling, that the after effect of the attitude doesn't end well.

It develops over time and gamblers think they are in control because they are just doing it little by little that they spend just few dollars today and the next day is just a few dollars as well.

But the fact that they come back over and over that it becomes a habit and they may not even feel good when they couldn't login to the platform in a day. Just like cigarette, they need to puff the nicotine to feel better.

CONCLUSION: Gambling may be a great problem if adequate measure isn't take. One should just to observe himself/herself for necessary changes in case one observed he/she is gradually becoming an addict.

Gambling addiction it's an complex thing to measure. Most of time user didn't even realized that they are addicted. Even if you ask them that you're getting aducted to this , they won't even realize your voice and take it lightly.
While playing casino/other game there brain release a dopamine so we feel pleasure or exitement. So we push ourselves to release more dopamine and we get hooked into it.

Sometimes Gambling started to effect as our social behaivor and cultural view of point. If you're in touch with a gambling practionar you may likely build a habit of playing gambling.

Self-control is the most important person who can control himself will know that it is easy that the mentality or character begins to change when doing something and they will realize it because they know the mechanism of the influence of an emotional in determining a continuing addiction, but unfortunately not a few people who do not have good personal control, most of the many gamblers rely on their instincts in living life so that they will be easily influenced by things that smell emotional in doing certain activities. Even though he is playing gambling in an unusual time.

[Dr.Bitcoin_Strange]

Gamblers are fully aware of all those stages but not withstanding, anyone that still wants to be addicted, would be addicted. I always say that, before a gambler becomes addicted, they always see the signs and symptoms but they become they ignored it and becomes extremely blinded by their wins or losses and then they allow their emotion to control their decision. One way to overcome all of that is to learn how to control your emotions, always be self determined and conscious never to take unhealthy decisions while gambling.

I think they aren't that aware of it otherwise no one would fall into addiction, the thing is they don't know when the addiction starts showing up in them. For instance, when they start playing some games online and probably they find such game interesting, you wouldn't be surprised how they could get carried away by the sweetness of the game and at this point they don't know is addictions. Like I do say; the excessiveness of everything or anything causes and gives birth to addiction but most people aren't that careful towards their operations and activities while gambling and we must know when to limit and stop gambling.

You think so? Well I don't think so and you know why?
Being addicted is not an act that is developed when one is absent minded. While gambling, you can lose your cool and become emotional which can make you take some drastic decisions but how about after you return home without any winning, does your mind not still take note of the losses? Gradually, you keep frequenting your self at the casino and gradually you keep gambling every day, you stop doing other important things and start to get carried away with gambling, and yet you don't still realize that you are getting yourself deep into the action? It doesn't work like that mate. People know they are getting addicted but it's lack of discipline and self control that makes them not to stop themselves from falling deeply into the addiction.

Except it's an illiterate who doesn't even know anything about addiction and in general terms addiction means the same thing and anyone that is gambling already know that winning in gambling is base on luck or chance, so the person should already have it in mind that if they get addicted, it can only mean that they would lose more money.
