Addiction in gambling

[danadc]

When we gamble, we must recognize that it involves significant risk and if we become addicted it tends to be difficult to break free though the possibility of doing so still exists.

There is no worse thing than becoming addicted, that is something that I would not give to anyone, for me this type of thing that any of us falls into is what I call a misfortune that we must get out of or try to get out of quickly because it can lead us to a condemnation of everything, of lack of money, of the family becoming distracted and everything starting to go wrong, if there is someone with suspicions of addiction it is better to make a decision to ask for help, it is not wrong to ask for help, I would say that It's brave.

If many that were addicted today were able to prevent it before happening to them, things wouldn't have gone wrong with so many as they Gamble, in whatever we are doing, we should always be mindful of being disciplined and not to take advantage of everything for granted, to gamble is to have fun and enjoying ourselves, this must be ensured that it is done in a clear atmosphere and also with a positive intention that gives a desired satisfaction we want to have from the entertainment in gambling, and not a place a future repercussion on us as consequence.

It depends on your intentions when approaching gambling.
If i were told that i had a better chance of winning at slot machines, for example, i wouldn't play them anyway because the game really disgusts me and bores me.
That's how i approach it. i know I'll never be able to win big, and i just treat gambling as fun.

All you have to do is to gamble for fun and don't feel like you are going to be profitable immediately you started gambling.
There are people that are losing money to gambling because they don't know the approach they supposed to use to become profitable while maintaining the risk that is necessary for you to gamble and become consistently profitable.

Many gamblers lose in a series of games but they don't feel the need to stop because they believe they will win big in the meantime. Small wins make them more consistent while they are expecting big wins. The available funds they have make them more aggressive in gambling.
Most gamblers want to win when they start gambling but very few lucky gamblers start by winning. They are more motivated to gamble because they have won initially. You gamble for fun but it is more entertaining if you win and get extra money. But always expecting to win makes gamblers addicted.

You have all presented some good arguments particularly on how gambling behavior is influenced by mind set. Most individuals begin playing gambling as a pastime but victory of little money can easily turn them into the desire to continue and develop the habit. The true issue starts when the players start to rely on a steady inflow or pursue larger gains when after the losses. Discipline is good, but emotions frequently prevail and it is difficult to stop. Control is not equally available among everybody and this makes one more likely to get addicted. Eventually, gambling turns out to be a perilous activity once it turns into an entertainment mode to earning money.

Seek for help from who? An addict don't need help from anybody he can change its a mindset because if you seek for help and you're not willing to quite then it's a waste of time. My belief is that is only gambling addict can change help himself and not someone else.

The only help he needs to avoid gambling or take a long break, being addicted to gambling that is ruining your finance and you're looking for someone else to help you is crazy because is your money that you're wasting, gambling is personal and if you're addicted,it's wise you avoid it or do something else because no one s coming to help you out.

Addiction is truly a silent destroyer that can slowly destroy a person's life, mentality and relationships, it can make your daily life extremely miserable. That is why we have to protect ourselves from the effects of this addiction in any way, and for this we have to be very careful. To get out of addiction, we must take professional help, because the more we remain silent, the deeper it will affect us, that is why this opportunity cannot be given in any way, rather we have to be aware and try to eliminate it by taking the right advice, awareness, right decisions and necessary help, if we can take these completely, then it is definitely possible to stay away from this harmful effect.

Becoming addicted to gambling isn't a death sentence bro, don't make it sound or seem like one, as a matter of fact, I've meet and spent time with some persons who are addicted to gambling who are still living a good life regardless, taking good care of their self and their family..

And i would also mentions (perhaps again) that addiction to gambling is of different levels, some are simply shallowly addicted  to gambling while there are those who are moderately addicted, and others who are chronically addicted, in all the level, the highest level of addiction is becoming seriously addicted to the extent the person my longer be able to help him or her self until the he or she is taken to professionals for proper care.

The matter of addiction is not as worse as you make it sound, although we have to act actively to develop confidence and confront our addiction tendency in other not to fall into addition, gambling addiction can push someone into financial borrowing and indebtedness in the long run since we can't win most of the game we play.

It's not wrong to cling to the hope and possibility of overcoming addiction. It's difficult, but it's not impossible either. This creates unique efforts where everything is seen differently Only the addict and those around them truly know what they're going through, what they're suffering, and what those anxiety attacks are like. Hope is the last thing to die.

Maybe people that are gambling for the fun are not yet born and those that are gambling need to understand this so they don't think they will always be profitable anything they feel like they want money and need to make a lot of money through gambling.

We should be people who always have to gamble based on our luck and ability. To improve our luck or our game, the best thing is to only have the money we're willing to lose when we play, as many have said. It's a great and safe strategy. I haven't been able to do something like that, I prefer to improve my emotional control because the money I'm going to spend is very little.

I agree with you, in fact, the most important thing in gambling is to know your limits and stay within those limits. If we can observe this control very carefully from the beginning, then it is possible to avoid the problem of addiction. Greed, emotion always lead people to uncontrollability and addiction, because most people start playing again out of anger or frustration after losing, and take more risks out of overconfidence when winning, that is, in both cases they move towards excessive play. So we have to be responsible, stay calm even when winning, stay calm even when losing, control ourselves in all situations, then gambling will not cause harm but will only be entertainment.

I support you both on the fact that limits and control are key in gambling but it is not always that easy to say. The idea of playing having fun and using little money can be used by many people, but the emotions may take over almost immediately. Winning may cause overconfidence and losing may cause chasing losses and both of them drive players into risky behavior. And that is where the addiction starts. Therefore, discipline and emotional control are good but we must also understand that gambling is not a sure way of earning money and it should strictly be left as entertainment and nothing more.

It is possible to get rid of any situation if you try. A person who is addicted to gambling. If he understands the amount of his financial loss and can control his own decisions to some extent, then he can get rid of the addiction to gambling. But many gamblers come who cannot make their own decisions correctly. The intensity of their addiction is so severe that their common sense does not work. They think that if they can bet one more time, they will keep winning. This thought leads them to a worse situation. The chances of recovering from that situation through their own efforts are very low.

Addiction can not impact anything good in the lives of the people, rather they take over their life by clouding their judgement in making decisions that will just satisfy their emotions instead of making decisions that will be of  great benefit, because allowing emotions to take control of oneself, can result in destroy and ruining people lives and plans, putting them in a cycle they will find it hard to escape. Which is why gamblers are to have all the awareness of gambling responsibly.

Hope doesn't change anything, it's just the driving force to the next step but if one thought of quitting then they need to take steps that are necessary, get the expert help that is the best compared to trying on our own and then there is many stories available on social media about how people managed to do and what are the steps they took.

Addiction can completely destroy your life, when you cannot control your emotions or greed through gambling, gambling will become a big threat to your life. Gambling is only for entertainment, gambling with the mindset of making money is absolutely not right. When you keep gambling with the mindset of getting rich quick, you will not be able to gamble according to the right rules. When you lose while gambling, you keep gambling repeatedly on emotions to get back the lost money quickly without taking time, the risk of losing money will increase manifold, so it is better to manage gambling with awareness.

I think that gambling addiction is a very serious and frightening disease. It destroys not only the life of the person who is gambling, but also the lives of their loved ones. Such people, whenever possible, should be removed from their usual environment, just like drug addicts. They need help finding alternative activities and staying in constant contact with mentors and authoritative people who motivate them to change their lives. Unfortunately, not everyone is able to do this.

I have a feeling that it could be tough to detect an addict at the early stages cause many people can now gamble in private with any device, some people won't even know that they're living with gambling addict until it ge worst to the point that the addict starts selling valuable properties to gamble. It's how bad gambling can make someone behave which is why I agree that it's a serious mental disease. Well lots of awareness have been made for years now, it's left for gamblers to be responsible and avoid addiction.

This is the main point, in most games we lose, and when we get addicted, our playing volume increases a lot, meaning we keep playing excessively and our losses keep increasing, so all in all it can push us towards a lot of problems. That is why the most important thing is for people to be aware of their limits and to be able to keep themselves away from it at the right time. Here, if we continue to play excessively, our losses will also increase a lot, so to keep the losses under control, we have to limit the amount of playing.

Only people who are hit very hard by gambling bad luck, I mean intensive bad luck, only these persons can acknowledge somehow that they are now in the abyss of addiction and these are the only persons who ask for some sort of help or decide to quit gambling based on only their self-determination. I consider these people lucky despite them saying to themselves that we were destroyed and devastated completely because of such loses yet they are the only ones who are ready to get out of the addiction abyss. That is why this is the only category who may have a chance to get out of gambling addiction, all other people who are not hit by such devastating loses do not distinct between reality and their distorted reality fed to them from to much dopamine.

But I don't know what is making some gamblers to fall easily to be addicted to gambling, because there are some gamblers is that is giving some gamblers advise not to be addicted to gambling no matter the amount of money they are looking for in gambling. There are some addicted gamblers that took advise from other successful gamblers to escape from such attitude , because it can lead someone to bad attitude that will make them to start selling what they have struggle to secured in some years back.

But it hard to get such caring and reliable gambling mentor these days, because majority of professional gamblers don't do anything for free to impart other new gamblers, because they know is money the gamblers are looking for in the gambling center.

The sad fact on here is that instead of stopping while you are already on a series of loses, you would rather continue just because you do believe that the next roll or bet would be a win and thats something that pushes you up into your limit and thats something that you do need to look upon or be wary into. Addiction do came from that simple fun seeking thing until you would be able to notice that your loses keeps on piling up. On the time that you've been considering on trying out to recover those loses then you would definitely be trying out to chase up those until you would be piling up those loses even more and on the moment that you had been able to realize then its already too late, the damage has already been done. One of the most important thing when dealing up with gambling is that you should make it sure that you wont be getting addicted with it via having that good self control and discipline when it comes to spending. Never ever make yourself thinking up that you can make money with gambling constantly even if we do speak about sports betting or poker on which there's no assurance that you can sustain up for too long. Everything matters or talks about pure luck and thats something that cant be influence or would be altered out.

The problem people normally have is that they never even consider addiction while they gamble, all the target is just to win and they put in so much effort in money and time to make sure they win and unknowingly to them this is how they become addicted to gambling.

The only way to overcome addiction in gambling is to be conscious about it and understands it. Gamblers are carried away that is why they easily get addicted and this is a serious problem that is very difficult to fight.

I agree with you, fighting addiction is very difficult, it is a very influential thing, its impact is very deep and terrible from which people cannot easily get out. That is why we have to be careful before getting addicted to it. It should be remembered that it is very easy to get addicted here, but it is very difficult to get out of this addiction, and this is why awareness should be taken before getting addicted, so that later we do not have to face deeper problems. We have to understand how it can put people in harm from all sides, we have to understand its harmful effects and then take effective steps to stay away from it and maintain limitations. Controlling yourself is the biggest responsibility here, if self-control is maintained, the amount of damage will not go out of control.
