How can we avoid addictions in gambling?

[Oluwa-btc]

As a gambler, believe me, it’s not as simple as it seems. It’s easier said than done. Once you get addicted to gambling, you can’t just stop whenever you want. It’s very hard to restrain yourself. You become greedy when you win, dreaming of making it big, especially with a small bankroll. And once you lose, you start chasing your losses. That’s why it’s best to develop discipline early on. Build it, no matter whether you’re winning or losing. Because if you don’t, even when you’re winning, you’ll eventually lose it all. Learn to control yourself right from the start, coz once you go deeper, it only gets harder to stop.

Over reliance on gambling is what triggers addiction.Overtime,the benefits of gambling is what blinds them from the negative influence and impacts it's having on their life.People fail to identify,avoid and understand their triggers.Some of the ways to avoid addiction is by creating new hobbies or activities that'll keep you away from gambling compulsively, seeking professional help and postpone gambling in a way that your life doesn't depend on it.

Of a truth, over-reliance on gambling somehow can trigger addiction if one does not set boundaries for themselves as gamblers; they would be too dependent on gambling for survival if they use it as a means or source of income. This has been the major challenge people face while gambling, but I think if they can be able to get engaged with other activities, they could be able to limit their gambling rate and focus their time proportionately on other activities, which could help them stay clear of the gambling house just like they do initially.

Gambling has been in an existence long time ago and it has always been fun all the way. Many people got involved in gambling just to have fun while some other people see it as there own way of expressing passion for games, sporting bet etc. however gambling that was initially made for fun and excitement later became a major problem to humanity due to addiction that has lead to the down fall of many young people that got involved in gambling.

These has kept me worried and restless so I decided to ask this questions :

- how can we avoid or control our gambling activities so that's it wouldn't lead to addictions ?

-how often should we gamble?

It will be very difficult for someone that wants to avoid addictions in gambling because getting access to gambling site is very easy, once the person sees the app on his phone he will quickly tap to gamble, this topic is the most talked about on this space so I believe with different opinions from people have seen, anyone that is an addict to gambling would have read and learn his lessons from all the write ups here.

One thing is that if it's the only means for survival of the person involved then it's will be difficult to avoid it but if there are other means of survival then it can be avoided by deleting the gambling apps on the phone and also discipline oneself from going to game centers, avoid anything that triggers gambling within you and keep to your words of not returning to it but you must first admit to yourself that you are an addict before you can take the above mentioned precautionary measures to avoid being addicted to gambling.

Yes you are right and your facts remains undisputed and it can also play a significant role in reducing gambling addiction in a player life but another thing that I think is more important that we should also consider is endless greed and constant lost chasing. Many players despise  this not knowing it's the actual root of the whole addiction problems,  however till we stay discipline to our gambling budget  and do what is right by expecting less in each of our gaming streak gambling addiction will continue to be a bitter problem and remain unbeatable to us.

Dont have any amount for gambling, if you are doing online casino then you should not have any online banking or e-wallets.
Make sure to download apps or games and focus some of your time on playing rather spending it online.
there are many ways to avoid gambling and first  to do that is the money you need should not be available.

In my opinion, regularly gambling is a behavior that paves the way for financial losses. If you gamble regularly, it has become a habit for you. Habits lead to addiction. Addiction opens the door to significant financial losses. If you can stop yourself or only gamble occasionally, you haven't fallen into the trap of addiction that starts with habit. Addiction is a psychological disorder that can only be overcome under professional supervision. May God protect everyone...

Yeah, that's the key issue.

It's a slow change from behaviors, first you start gambling here and there.

Then it becomes a habit.

Then that grows into an addiction

Self control is the best thing and don't do gambling if you don't want to be addicted, people think they can totally control if they just do minimal but in reality the urge gets bigger and every time you lower or spending time gambling the bet gets bigger without knowing , and its starting to hurt your pocket because you limit yourself but you spend bigger, so if you don't want to get addicted, just stop gambling and focus on better things, in life, aside from gambling.

Another way to avoid addiction in gambling is by having and setting a very clear boundary, knowing what you must not exceed when gambling.
And this requires a lot of self control and discipline to keep up with that. Self control will help you know when to stop and turn back after you’ve passed you limit for that day. Because without setting that boundaries, you might just keep gambling till you end up injuring yourself.

It's always seen as a mild addiction, which it really isn't. Usually the addictions considered more serious are drug addiction, obviously, and alcohol addiction. But this too has devastating effects on yourself and above all on others.

You forgot to mention nicotine addiction, which also has a detrimental effect on the human body. We live in a world filled with temptations. For example, people can't live without social media. Yes, as scientists have recognized, this is now considered an addiction. This phenomenon haunts us everywhere. How can we give it all up? It's simply impossible. Alas, such is life today.

Ordinarily it's not easy to be addicted into anything and get it stop easily, there are people who are not only addicted in gambling but they are both addicted into gambling and drug, what get gamblers addicted in gambling is when they take it as a means of surviver. One of the fastest way to help an addicted gambler stop is by not letting him get close to his phone since we have so many gambling sites online and also open a little business for the him so that he can have a means to survive but i don't think it's possible not to get him access to his phone.

In real sense, gambling from existence is a game of having fun or excitement. But based on mine set of people. With your cash or money  is seen to be fun. Gambling activities direct and becomes your daily plans. Because involving gambling takes a lot of money from you. At same time hoping to gain back but already a loser. From calculation losing than gaining. Is easier to win than when it becomes an addiction you will never find it easy to stop, if you understand what I mean. Is only when already have money it becomes fun not addiction.

I doubt if what you have said would be effective in trying to curb addiction. If the money you need is not available, then how do you play games to have fun then? Anyways, it depends on how the gambler decides to effect their own disciplinary measures so as not to get carried away by their gambling lifestyle. One can gamble for fun and not get addicted because they already have boundaries which the already set up for themselves, and that would be as a reminder to them anytime they are about crossing their gambling limits.

Getting rid of addiction is definitely not a matter of sudden relief, getting rid of addiction is a long-term process, we cannot completely get rid of addiction and become normal in a moment. Here we basically have to bring ourselves under control gradually by taking professional advice, this requires time, we have to control ourselves little by little. The amount of playing has to be reduced constantly, but if we forcefully keep the devices away from ourselves to completely abstain from it, then this will definitely not be possible, especially in today's era. So instead of making such plans, develop a mindset of adhering to the limitations well, we have to gradually move towards making responsible decisions.

Yes, the key is self-control, with good self-control, we can avoid gambling addiction. The reason why many people are addicted is because they are not good at self-control, they tend to get carried away easily until they forget about the risks that are certain to occur.

Diverting the desire to gamble is necessary, I myself previously found it difficult to do this but now when I have lost gambling I am easy to divert the desire to gamble on other things.
