Are you very addicted to gambling??

[Xcode7]

It's very easy to understand it but difficult to practice it, anyone that doesn't want to be addicted to gambling should not take it as a means of earning to become rich, it should be taken for fun and the profit should just be the added benefit of the fun. By the time someone starts to become too dependent and develops a great expectancy  spirit for the lucky profits, then they might start getting addicted.

I think many people have experienced gambling addiction, and I'm one of them. However, I'm still able to control my emotions and finances, so it doesn't have any impact. In fact, I still think of gambling as just entertainment and fun, using money I have left over to cover all my other needs. This has been going on for quite some time and has never been a problem.
The problem here is that for those who expect to win from gambling and then put all their money in the hope of winning, it becomes a major problem and even the beginning of destruction.

You just need to manage your emotions and understand when you're making a mistake and how to do it. Personally, when my emotions are a bit out of whack, I try not to gamble because I know I'd get into trouble and that would lead to making bad decisions. Addiction is all about that.

If you can't really control your emotions, you can't avoid big losses in gambling. It's a matter of control, there will be losses most of the time, and in the long run, the losses will be greater than the gains.
But as a responsible gambler, you must accept this kind of loss, and start gambling with a mindset of accepting losses from the beginning.
The most important thing is to control yourself and take breaks at the right time, because excessive gambling can lead to addiction, so it is important to limit it to a minimum.

It's a good thing that you are aware and conscious of your personality, this is something people ignore. Knowing the type of person you are and how you react to things. Personally, I'm the type of person that doesn't take things seriously no matter how pressing it might be, it's a way that I have conditioned my mindset. This is the reason why I don't react to losses negatively, it's always easy for me to move on

Short take If gambling feels like income, addiction is already knocking. Treat it like paid entertainment or don’t do it. Set hard limits, block the apps, tell someone you trust, and take a 90-day no-bet break. If you can’t stop, get help from a counselor or GA.

My man, ninety days is way too much, even for the average gambler who could not be considered to be someone addicted to gambling, if you think about it. You are talking about nearly three months with no bets/gambling whatsoever, that is rather an exaggeration, responsible gamblers would bet like once a week or twice a month, some of them even daily, with relatively small amounts.

Also, you are over-estimating the scope there is when comes to mental healthcare in countries that are not rich, sadly if one needs to get mental healthcare, then one is expected to pay for it, there is no free choice for most of people in the developing world.

Hispo, imo It is a reset, so 90 days is not excessive. you know an abstinence window to break cues works well which lessens the severity of gambling. you will find some cool app like GAMSTOP where self exclusion plans even begin at six months, also most folk opt for minimum 6 months ban, cause a week will never help them, so i will say 90day break is conservative, not drastic. I know some Rehab center who often roll with 30 to 90 days program even if they found very complicated case they increase the time so it lower relapse risk.

Furthermore, "mental healthcare is expensive" I cant agree with that,, when i visited country like india i saw many community and NGO who offer low coast even free resource, online therapy or peer support group.

True, not all gamblers can act like that. Not all gamblers can identify the possibility of facing major problems. In my opinion, gamblers who can recognize this and manage their emotions are intelligent gamblers because they usually know what to do in that situation.
Honestly, I'm almost like you, not really worrying about what has happened. I usually always think things like, "Well, it's meant to be, I was supposed to lose, there's no point in me getting emotional because it won't get me back the money I lost." With that mindset, I feel fine when faced with defeat. So, it's true that accepting risk is very important to avoid much greater risks.

Even if there are some no government organization which try to tackle the problem of gambling addiction and other kinds of addictions, those organizations are still way unfunded and lacking of the fundamental infrastructure to cater all individuals considered as mentally sick.
In the specific example of India, it is one of the countries most densely populated and with a considerable percentage of their population living in poverty, so I would not be surprised there are thousands on gamblers who cannot get treated, because the systems to get help are completely over-crowed.

How can a real gambler get out of his addiction??

What is your reason for gambling? Do you want to make money by gambling or do you gamble just for fun?

Nowadays, no one sees gambling as a source of pleasure, rather most people see it as their main source of income. And those who indulge in gambling and consider it as their source of income will definitely become addicted. A gambling addict cannot always control himself, rather, once he starts playing, he cannot stop. And when a person gambles a lot and keeps losing, he does not say anything about stopping, then he is definitely addicted to gambling.
So it is always better to keep gambling under control, if he loses control, then he will definitely become addicted. And gambling should never be seen as a source of income, but it is a place of enjoyment where it is best to start with a small amount of money, although I think gambling depends a lot on the luck of the player.

I like the point you made mentioned " conditioning one's mindset" this is a very vital thing to do as a gambler because it will  help one know or realize that losing is also part of the game ( gambling) and we can not win all the time but we can lose most times depending.  The chances of making loss I think it is higher than the chances of making profit. When you have this mindset and mentality you would not rush to gamble to win back what you have lost because it is possible for you to still lose more and the more you are losing and playing to recover the more you will be drawn there and there is some point you will make loss you can not walk away from there, you will be so tired, weak, frustrated and so die at spot after so much loss.

As how lol? I can't be addicted to anything that's not giving me the dopamine needed, you feel me? What I am trying to say is i would have been addicted to gambling if I am winning more than I am losing.

In my own gambling world there is no room for dreams, it's all about the reality, and the reality is gambling won't fulfil the dreamers, they can only get lucky and luck isn't something you can bend and pick on the street.

Those who are getting addicted to gambling are not smart and they are so helpless with their lives that they don't know what else to turn to, gambling is not the answer it should be a form of entertainment, and leave the world or people that try to tell you otherwise, they got infected with the gamblers dream.

This can happen if we are aware of our own capacity, think logically, and are able to accept that we ourselves have made mistakes, but on average -on average, for almost all gamblers, sometimes we will never want to admit that we have made a mistake because our ego is sometimes bigger or perhaps we always think that we did not do it, which keeps the situation the same where we do not admit our mistakes and consider it as something normal in the end.

Whether they realize it or not, there are still many gamblers who are trapped in their own thinking, not only about their financial condition but also because many people are addicted to gambling but do not want to admit it because the implications seem negative, so they do not want to admit it directly.
If they become aware, it is indeed a good condition for themselves to quickly realize it. However, on the other hand, if they always try to deny it, there will be no real change for them, and they will forever live under the ego they hold so high.

I have been gambling for a long time, but I do not gamble for money income but for pleasure. Because when I started gambling in a new situation, I showed signs of addiction inside me. Because in a new situation, when I lose in gambling and to recover my lost money, I become quite aggressive in gambling and betting more. In this way, I have lost a lot of money but my lost money has not been recovered and I have faced many more losses, but I take the advice of seniors and talk about the lost money.
And from there, I have learned that I gamble with as much money as I can lose and take pleasure from it. Because people from different countries come here to gamble and face competition and challenges with them and gamble together, this is the greatest joy and excitement that removes loneliness.

In actuality, addiction is more than just winning or losing or a sign of ineptitude.  The brains reward system is taken over by gambling, sporadic victories & close calls increase excitement & encourage continued play even when there are net losses.  I could call it  biology + life stressors + product design. No way there is moral failure because poverty, impulsivity & mental health issues increase vulnerability. Empathy with boundaries like self exclusion or blockers addons, even support are always preferable to placing blame if you care.

In gambling of any kind we should be ready to accept that the win is not assured. It is mentioned experience that often teaches us to wisely cope with the losses. Instead of looking at the possible wins, we should look into ways of mitigating on the losses. This way we can be more in control of the end-product and not be lured chase after something that might not be attained.

There is nothing left to do but allocate a certain budget for the game and strictly observe discipline so as not to go beyond the limits of what is permitted. Personally, I have such an approach to the game process. If I lose, I calmly come to terms with this fact. There is no longer that former naive state that was inherent in me many years ago. Then I did not give an account of my actions and all the time there was a huge desire to play again and again.

My answer will go in this manner, when the reason for gambling is known and clarified then one can really know how to get out of his addiction. If you're gambling for fun it's should be specified or if you're gambling to make money that should be specified also, that way you can access your habits and know if you're doing too much and try to reduce it gradually.

Gambling combines many advantages, which, if not observed in moderation, become big disadvantages.
For example, if a gambler is lonely, and this is often the case, he can dispel boredom on Friday evening by playing slots or roulette a little. Of course, this will cheer him up, even the process itself, the interface and sounds, not to mention that he can win some money, but in general it is better, of course, when he has friends with whom he can communicate. Therefore, constant loneliness in the company of an online casino is destructive.

It's very easy to understand it but difficult to practice it, anyone that doesn't want to be addicted to gambling should not take it as a means of earning to become rich, it should be taken for fun and the profit should just be the added benefit of the fun. By the time someone starts to become too dependent and develops a great expectancy  spirit for the lucky profits, then they might start getting addicted.

I think many people have experienced gambling addiction, and I'm one of them. However, I'm still able to control my emotions and finances, so it doesn't have any impact. In fact, I still think of gambling as just entertainment and fun, using money I have left over to cover all my other needs. This has been going on for quite some time and has never been a problem.
The problem here is that for those who expect to win from gambling and then put all their money in the hope of winning, it becomes a major problem and even the beginning of destruction.

If we can still control ourselves, such as our emotions, then that's a good thing and perhaps a miracle. Many people who gamble fail to control themselves, leading to a severe addiction that's difficult to recover from, even periodically destroying their lives. There may also be different levels of awareness; for example, you don't have to experience such significant losses but are able to recognize and control yourself. On the other hand, there may be people who realize this only after experiencing a terrible experience, such as losing all their assets due to gambling, which is driven by an acute addiction.

Indeed, the beginning of a gambler's downfall is the hope of winning. I'm not a hypocrite about that; I certainly want to win. However, we must understand gambling well by realistically considering it a business whose purpose is to seek profit; no player can achieve guaranteed profits, especially in the long term.

[Lidger]

When a gambler is addicted to gambling, he does not realize that he is addicted to gambling, so if an addicted gambler is currently asked whether he is addicted to gambling, I think he will avoid this issue. However, those who were addicted to gambling at one time but have now recovered from that place may admit that they were addicted to gambling at one time and they will share this story here about how they came out of that gambling addiction. However, those who understand that they are addicted to gambling, I think this is a good aspect of that gambler because being addicted to gambling is definitely a bad thing, so he will definitely try to come out of this bad thing.

Therefore, every gambler or bettor should keep a notebook or an Excel spreadsheet with all their winnings and losses, which will show absolutely clearly in numbers how profitable this hobby is at the moment?
Also, an excellent test of the absence of addiction is his ability to temporarily give up gambling and do his own thing or communicate with his family. And if such a gambler does not think about gambling very often, then everything is fine with him.
