[Odusko]

The moral support and a rigorous recovery plan are needed to break this cycle and stop this addiction.

Look, anyone can fall into addiction, anyone can make a mistake, and the addict who seeks help does so because they want to move forward. After all, they want to make a difference.

The biggest problem is that addiction is a silent enemy. It takes over a player's mind in a way that’s almost impossible to avoid; by the time they realize it, they’re already completely hooked. It’s a disease like hypertension, there are no symptoms, and by the time one finally appears, it’s already too late. It’s incredibly hard to deal with addictions and even harder to accept that you’re fully addicted. Often, by the time someone seeks help, the damage is already done.

I don't see wrong mindset as been part of the reasons there's high level of gambling addiction nowadays.thevfact is that a lot of people on the gambling space has become so lazy that they are looking for easier ways of making money. When am individual don't have anything to do and generate money for himself, simple and quick ways of making money will come to the minds of those people.

The very attitude of broaching in with the thought of easier means of making funds with gambling, isn't that a wrong mindset?! You'll agree it is, because no person with the right attitudinal mindset would want to think that gambling can be a means to making money instead of going into a business, or using their skills (if they have any) to look for a job that is guaranteed of earning a pay at the end of the week or month.

You are right, that's the better option when someone wants to make money. It's not fast, but it's legal and can provide for the needs of a person and a family. Business, a day job, or having a skill and talent that would get paid for.
The fastest ways to make money are mostly illegal or destructive. Gambling is one. Sure, there's a chance you could win big and be rich, but a gambler would need to risk the money, unlike using talents and skills as an exchange for money. We cannot treat gambling as a job. It's not, and the worst thing is that it can be addictive.

Most gamblers do not realize this in the early stages of addiction, they realize it only when they are addicted and have suffered a lot as a result. Addiction is a very scary thing, because here people do not even realize that they are addicted. Everything happens unconsciously, everything seems normal from the outside, but inside we are completely addicted, which we ourselves cannot realize. And this is why awareness is very important, to avoid this very sensitive issue, if people understand from the beginning when to stop, and how much limitation to maintain, then this feeling of addiction will not be able to affect us very easily. Because without awareness and limitation, addiction starts to affect us more easily.

Gambling addiction is not magical, it's not a one time process, it takes time to grow and stages to become worse, those people that got worse although knew that they were gambling in the abnormal way but they decided to ignore the signs, that was how they became worse. Everyone realizes it when they are beginning to get addicted, it's just the self discipline that they don't have that makes it impossible for them to control the gambling habit and prevent themselves from getting addicted.

Addiction is one of the most dangerious part that actually kills slowly and most people are always taking it for joke until you find out that this part is no longer your own and it will be very dangerious to do and that is why when you are gambling you need to be very prepared and not be carried away,  and it might even affect your health and there is no need to rush when it comes to gambling you need to take things very easy so that you dont put your self in a dangerious situation.

everything needs to be under control and from the beginning when you start winning most especially most people are carried away and they are always taking this things for granted not until it get to a point they can no longer control there self which is not even nice at all,  addication is had to control, and if it is out control then the victim have to seek for external help because that is the only way that you can be free from addiction.

Addiction develops slowly, but gamblers do not realize it, or some people ignore it even if they do, they think they are normal, but gradually they are getting more and more addicted to it and no one realizes it easily, or even if they do, no one takes it seriously at first. But because of this lack of importance, they start crossing their limits constantly, and from then on the problem starts. Gradually the amount of it increases, they become more and more uncontrollable and then they realize that they are addicted to it. So if awareness is not taken at the first stage and effective steps are not taken, it will continue to deepen over time, if we want to avoid the possibility of addiction, we must decide to take the symptoms seriously at the first stage and ignore it, only then it is possible to keep it under control.

While that’s true, we need to also understand that there are certain situations where a gambler steps into addiction without even knowing how it happened. What merely just started as a harmless enjoyable habit, could dramatically increase and turn into an addiction, and sometimes or most time, the victims doesn’t even realize how they got to the stage of addiction, they just finally realized that they can’t keep themselves away from the habit no matter much they try, they just keep going back each time they try to stay away, this is exactly how some addiction started. Getting in was almost relentless, but getting out is usually where the real deal is.

Addiction has been something that can be very difficult to know especially for those that are victims.
It can be very hard for victims of addiction to know that they have it and that is where the problem normally start from. When people try to advise them about their addiction, many will never agree that what had been making them to lose money from gambling uncontrollable is because of the addiction.

I admit that it is difficult to break out of this cycle of addiction. My friend, who is addicted and wants to quit, tried to do so by even blocking some of his accounts because he thought that was one way to prevent himself from gambling online. But in the end, we need accounts, so he reopened his accounts and started gambling again.

As for myself, I managed to overcome it without doing what my friend did. I simply tried to resist the urge to gamble, and with strong determination, I succeeded in breaking free from the addiction.

It is difficult to watch others fail to pull through, especially since these challenges  are  surmountable just as you proved they are That is something worth emphasizing constantly, as it serves as a powerful example, As for your friend, perhaps he needs to find a deeper desire to overcome his addiction he seems to lack certain aspirations such as having a family, setting goals, or pursuing dreams.

I don't know what exactly your friend might want for his future, but he needs to change his current way of being in order to make any progress.

The addiction to gambling usually does not manifest itself at an early stage, and many individuals can hardly notice it. What at first may appear as mere entertainment may lead to a habit which gets difficult to manage. Most gamblers feel that they are in charge and thus, they cannot see the red flags. The desire to resort to gambling only increases as the habit becomes stronger even in the case of constant losses. One more issue is that there are gamblers who do not want to be advised by others. It is not easy to admit that there is addiction and it is the initial significant step to stop the habit.

Some might not see gambling as a full time job, but that doesn't mean that they'll not get addicted into it anymore. Gambling can be addictive if you're spending too much time and money from it. Gambling can be addictive if you're making bad decisions here and there, and you don't know how to accept losses. Gambling can be addictive if you don't know when to stop if it's necessary.

Gambling isn't like a magic where you gamble and your dreams will come true. There might a few gamblers who think like that, but we know that it's impossible. Yes, it can change one person's life, but it could destroy many people's lives as well. Lower expectations on gambling might help, but it would be better if we just accept the reality that we don't win in gambling at least for most of the time. Gambling can make somebody a millionaire, but it can also destroy numerous relationships and life just like what you said.

Some might not know this but gambling addiction is way more dangerous than alcohol addiction, and cigarette addiction. I'm not saying that don't gamble but as many are always saying, gamble responsibly.

This is really so, anyone can have this problem, and no one can escape it. Admitting that something is wrong and resolving to make a change is made with guts, given the fact that it is extremely hard to come out of the grip of addiction. Family and close friends are the way to feel that one is not left alone in the struggle. Until you breathe your last, you always have the chance to do better in life and the possibility of a person trying is always broad.

There are families that are close, just like friends, but I wouldn't rely on family for that because I've had experiences where they themselves don't want to see you grow. However, it can be said that some will support you with all the hypocrisy in the world, and from my point of view, you get more help from friends and people you don't expect to help you than from your own family But I hope that not all families are like that that's why, for me, the most important family is the one you create yourself.

With their minds already consumed by gambling, addiction is inevitable and tends to be hard to avoid even if they’re aware that what they’re doing is wrong that awareness is likely to be overpowered by the urge to gamble so they end up ignoring that awareness and go back to gambling.

I think the best thing to do is to always gamble with caution knowing that gambling addiction is real and not joke because some people know I mean they are aware of gambling addiction but they don't actually know how terrible and dangerous it can be because they have not experienced it themselves. In order to abstain from gambling addiction one need to be disciplined and should always gamble with what they can afford to lose or let go because what lure people into gambling more or chasing loss is using what one can not afford to lose or let go.

Addicted gamblers often do not realize their mistakes and this leads them down a more wrong way. They keep losing money by gambling. You are right that when addicted gamblers realize that they are addicted, they do not have the funds available to gamble. A addicted gambler becomes so obsessed with gambling that if someone gives them advice to gamble less at their addiction stage, they do not take the advice of those who give them advice. They do not realize that they are addicted until they have a decent amount of funds available. They continue to gamble and are not able to realize their mistakes until the amount of funds decreases.

They do not realize that they are addicted until they have a decent amount of funds available. They continue to gamble and are not able to realize their mistakes until the amount of funds decreases.

Quite the opposite, actually. In both trading and gambling, there are plenty of examples of people with substantial funds who got too caught up in the process and became addicted. Personally, I think a gambler can realize they’re addicted right when they lose their entire bankroll, because even though it’s painful, it can be a powerful trigger to reevaluate their behavior and become more disciplined when it comes to gambling.

Those who are addicted to gambling cannot make very effective decisions in maintaining their limits. As long as they have money, they continue to play without thinking about anything else, and finally when they have nothing left and the amount of losses is beyond their ability, that is when they realize how much they have lost by making addictive decisions. Basically, they do not have the ability to think realistically, when they become addicted, that addiction controls them and forces them to play excessively, so if the addiction cannot be controlled in the first place, then it becomes much more difficult to stop later.

I think addiction is related to the habitual patterns of gamblers. It can indeed affect the gambler's way of thinking, but what actually makes addicts keep losing is not because they place bets incorrectly. It is an uncontrolled gambling habit. Sometimes they also win, not always lose. But what makes them bad is not having the ability to stop when they have won.
