Addiction in gambling

[gracreavix]

The most important thing in such situations, when a gambler feels bad, is not to remain silent. He should share all his experiences with family and friends. And let them usually turn away from him in moments of intense dependence (because he stole money from them and lied). But all this should be ignored by them for a while in order to save the future of this person, who until recently was their family, but now needs help and psychological support from them. And even though it may not seem very important, the power of words and feelings for someone who is addicted to gambling should not be underestimated.

Not everybody shares their misery with others,  some people just tend to die in their misery and remain in the dark for a while until they get better. For most people,  cases like this could affect their relationship with others for a while and only when they have accepted their faith would they receive therapy. You are right because the greatest support would be from family amd friends and not condemnation at that point. Gambling addiction is a cancer that might never goes away, but a distraction is what addicts would need but not everyone have such opportunity to experience one.

If an addicted and mentally disturbed person does not share anything with anyone on his own .Then his family and close friends should find out the reason for such a change in him . Then he should be given proper guidance and given time to bring him back to normal life. If at that time he cannot be given time or brought back to the right path, then he will slowly go to a worse stage. Mental depression and tension can bring a person to think like suicide and separation from family and mental disorders for a long time.

Most addicted or mentally disturbed people don’t even use to speak up about what they’re going through, especially when they feel nobody will understand them. That’s why family and close friends should try and pay attention whenever someone suddenly changes mood or start acting differently, or losing interest suddenly. So many people are silently fighting depression without showing it openly.
Giving people like that love can really help them heal. But when nobody cares or notices at all, the situation can even become worse and may even lead to dangerous thoughts like you’ve said.

I don't think it's a good idea if you come across to a random guy or even your friends to give them some advice, but I think it's more beneficial if you help him to go for rehab than just counselling him to help him become a better person.

Giving advice won't help much, but for rehab it would help much to get rid of gambling addiction.
However, if there are no rehab facilities nearby, maybe helping him to go for a vacation far from the casino while counselling him might be a good option to help him to get rid of the addiction.

Before you can talk someone who is deeply addicted to gambling out of it is not an easy task, because the person must first see that he is addicted and must agree with you that he wants to stop gambling because you can further recommend him to seek a rehab, you just don't say to an addicted person to stop and he will stop immediately, he must show signs that he wants to stop because if he is not interested in stopping or quitting no amount of talks and pressure mounted on him will make him quit it.

It might also be difficult to make him get rid of gambling if the person is gambling for survival and making profits, if he had made gambling his source of income then i don't think it will be easy but in that case the only solution is to get the person a job so it can keep him busy and occupy to take away his mind from gambling and most importantly if we want to help someone stop addiction we shouldn't judge or condemn the person it helps in reviving the person from addiction.

And the worst thing is that, this gambling addiction is something a lot of people joke about until it starts destroying their life slowly…. Chasing losses is what normally get most people, they do think they can make the lost money back, but before they know it things will get out of hand.. Money issues, stress, broken relationships and all that come with it..
And true? The first step is accepting it first and then talking to someone too, because many people keep it to themselves out of embarrassment.. Sometimes just having someone to listen can really help..

Addiction is not something to joke with, once you are  a victim of it If God isnt by your side you stand  a chance of losing all you have ever worked for all your life.

Many times, we  brought the problem of addiction to our self by gambling the wrong way, you see people taking gambling as a real time business, tell me when the problem now comes the same person will start looking for innocent devil to put the  blame on. Gamble is surposed to be for fun and not the opposite side of it so if you must escape addiction as a player then you must not engaged in gamble in the wrong way else you keep completing the cycle of addictions and no two ways about it.

You are right, addiction should not be taken lightly. When gambling is just for entertainment, we can play according to our budget. It is not even a problem. In the long run, most people lose money in gambling. But when gambling is done for entertainment, considering one's financial situation, the amount of loss is not reckless. And thus, it can be seen that one can continue playing without losing much for a long time. I personally think that one of the main reasons for addiction is excessive betting in the hope of getting back the lost money. This is where the cycle starts. So everyone needs to think about this.

Addiction is something we use our hands to find, we should be very careful whenever we are gambling and we have also been advised to gamble responsible by using what we can afford to lose yet some people don't try to acknowledge these things because they feel addiction is not real or it can not happen to them until they find themselves helpless in it. Sometimes I don't pity addicted gamblers because they actually got i :-\t themselves due to negligence and careless behavior.

This may be because some addicted gamblers fear that everyone will ignore them. But many people help addicted gamblers to get advice and correction. The reality is that most addicted gamblers do not realize that they are actually addicted. If they had realized their mistakes and asked for help from friends or family, they might have gotten rid of their addiction sooner.

To avoid the addiction stage, they need someone close to them whom they can trust and admit their mistakes and correct themselves. An addicted gambler can be easily identified by seeing behavioral changes. A sense of responsibility must be awakened in them to prevent them from that situation.

Hahahaha, calling the devil innocent is actually quite hilarious you know, But you do make a fair point though, everyone who fell right into addiction were given two choices, to walk in, and to avoid walking in, and they made their choice. There's no point accusing or blaming anyone for a choice you made yourself. No one pushes another to addiction, it's either your own greed pushes you into addiction or your ignorance do, either ways, you consented the whole process, that's why it's only dependent on the addict to also get himself out of the addiction.

Someone who doesn't have money and is jobless should be thinking about how to make money and not how to be spending the little they should be managing; even people who have a real job, if they lack self-control, that duty can't restrain them from gambling. They will always make out a chance, which is not that bad as long as they don't overdo it and still spend without turning into an irresponsible man.

This is the reason why I think gambling for poor people is dangerous, poor people have limited funds or you can say not enough money and instead of using the little they have to solve their problems they use it to gamble. This doesn't even solve the problem because they only end up making things worse for themselves.

You are very correct to say that the money they have with them isn't enough at all to cover any serious expenses or pay any bill, which is why they feel they stand a better chance to increase it or raise it up a bit by staking it. I mean I do this sometimes, if I have very small amount of fiat in my hand and I don't want to trade any of my coins for cash, I might just decide to try my luck with the spare cash I have with me to see if I can double it, sometimes I do, most times I don't and that's just the game for you.

Gambling should have nobody to blame if you are the one that is using your time to bet because you know that you can make profits from betting which can be quite profitable for you. The rate of addiction is becoming a thing yhe public need to tell people and let them know the consequences of gambling for too long which can be easily hard to stop.

When a person's income is limited and the money he has is important for his daily life, family or emergency needs, then putting that money at risk can definitely make the situation more harmful. We should definitely not gamble with the money that is allocated for our daily life, necessary. That is why such activities are very dangerous for a poor person, because according to the amount of income they have, they do not have any money that they can lose, but they gamble to improve their financial situation and that is why the poor go further towards ruin through gambling.

[Hatchy]

I know of someone who is so addicted in gambling.who spend his time and all his money in gambling.
Which he is finding difficult to stop or control, irrespective of the consequences that surrounds it, such as relationship issues,lack of finance and emotional breakdown,many people go through so many risks just to be able to fund that lifestyle and majority of them are using gambling as there day to day activities (they make it their job) this set of people or person can loss friends, family and relationship.
Because all there focuses are on gambling, when you come across this kind of people. "all you need is to counsel them" because it's beneficial

Some people go as far as using gambling as a comfort zone. Though it can work in that regards because gambling can be used to ease stress. It's fun when we are winning, so such excitement can help you shake off those tearful hours of the day when things don't look good for us. But the point when gambling starts becoming a barrier for you taking your responsibility then it's a problem. You shouldn't gamble for the profits because once your mindset starts shifting from what gambling truly was meant for, then you most likely fall to the edge of destruction. Your family, friend, work are things that you shouldn't allow gambling take away from you. No matter how good it bad it is, just make sure you avoid such..

Many people ignore this addictive issue, they initially think that they can easily stay away from addiction, or that addiction will never overcome them, but their misconception is soon shattered. They think that they will not be addicted, but they become addicted at some point without knowing it. If we do not take precautions against these addictions, they will unknowingly put us in a situation from which we cannot return to normal. The issue of gambling addiction should never be neglected, do not see it as easy, but be careful, the reality of gambling is very terrible, those who fall into it once, they cannot easily return there normal life again.

Of course, gambling addiction needs to be better controlled, because if we don't, it will gradually begin to consume us. These days, I still try to set aside funds for gambling that I can't afford to lose, but it's important to understand that most gamblers can't control their spending, as they constantly want to win back more and more of their past losses. This can be a bit stressful, even if we're lucky and win back most of our losses. The key to success is not allowing yourself to exceed your daily, weekly, or monthly loss limit.

Gambling addiction starts gradually before it's fully blown and to heal from such level of addiction would also requires the person full consent and agreement before they can come out of it, else if they are not ready to heal, no matter the kind of solution their family gives them, they won't become better because they have already been enveloped by the addiction and the only solution is to take the decision to quit.

Gambling addicts prevent people from thinking about their financial situation and only one thought works in them that if they gamble then they can win big jackpots from there and generate easy money from there. So they stay away from hard work and try to win big jackpots from gambling. When they lose, they console themselves that they can win in the next bets and there will be losses in gambling. No matter how much they lose, they are always motivated towards gambling. This is the symptom of every addicted gambler. Gambling addiction is a very bad habit from which it is very difficult to come back so you have to keep yourself fully in control before you get addicted. Although gamblers think about these things in the beginning, they do not realize when they gradually become addicted.

[LUCKMCFLY]

One thing is certain, it’s either the gambling controls you or you control how you manage your gambling. Thats just how this space works and when it’s the other way round, where you are being controlled by gambling, you are like a barrel rolling down the hill to your own destruction.
Having a sense of control and being able to manage how you gamble or react while gambling is essential to keep off gambling addiction. It’s of utmost necessity and still, a very difficult thing to archive because, you would be fighting against own desire and that’s no easy thing to do.

Our mental control must be paramount, which is why logic must prevail in casino games. For sports betting, we must be more reasonable and less emotional. By being more reasonable, we are more intelligent, and by being more intelligent, we are better at managing our money. In reality, that is what matters most when playing in a casino.

Gambling for poor is truly risky because the impact of gambling to someone who doesn't have financial capacity to handle gambling loses is way more heavier than what it will be for someone with money, this is why you see that we have a lot of gambling addicts in poor environment compared to what we see with the rich folks, a lot of times we make extra emphasis for gambling decipline when we are discussing with someone who sees gambling a means to make earn needs.

The reason why most people end up getting addicted is because they never understand gambling better and they gamble without limit and rules and this end them into gambling addiction without them knowing.

One thing about addiction is that it doesn't go very easy especially when one is not going about it in the right way. Gambling addiction is a terrible experience and quiting it is not something that is easy. It requires good decision and discipline to quit gambling completely when you are addicted to gambling.

There are those who fall under the category of being poor in third-world countries, but those sets still have jobs they are doing and earning from, but the funds are never enough to lift the family standard. But those people, out of the little they earn, can still pay for cigarettes and other stuff; for some of them, they could still make a little budget out of their little for gambling. Aside from socialising, using that means, they still use it as an avenue to try their luck, even if luck is not on their side that day. As long as they don't use money that could have funded family feeding or other necessities, they are good.
