The burning pains of addiction

[Oluwa-btc]

in an interview from a popular broadcaster, a man talked about how he lost his wife and children due to the influenced of gambling. According to him, he was doing very well with his family when his friend came and introduced him into gambling. on the process of gambling he started emptying his accounts, at a point he sold all his cars and assets just to hit a jackpot but to no avail of all his efforts.

That's the destructive force of gambling  and usually when the addiction has gotten to a higher degree that's when the individual indulge in the habits of selling off properties just to keep up to their gambling aims. Beside before going into something it's advisable to know the good and bad side of itas well as it's negative and positive impacts. This is indeed sad and I really feel bad that innocent people had to go due to ones uncontrollable attitude to gambling.

Gambling addiction is a serious condition and in most cases those that are affected make terrible decisions when it comes to how they stake and go about their gambling activities. addiction can be a very serious issue and it has made a lot of go through terrible experiences. It is quite unfortunate that such stories will keep on surficing because it seems people no longer learn from the terrible experiences of other people. This is the reason why beginners should be cautious when they start gambling, it is important to watch out for the signs of gambling addiction early

From a clear observation and empirical facts why do people addiction to gambling, drug and other toxic substances always used money meant for house rent, feedings and other pressing things for their desires. Most a times they give their assets and family assets out as collateral just to satisfy their desires and fantasies.

Addiction is maladaptive. That is the reason. Anything that is maladaptive adds nothing to one's life rather it subtracts and sends the person down the hole of self-sabotage and seld-destruction. There is nothing good that comes out of it. It is literally, giving control to hedonistic desires. And I tell you that gambling addiction doesn't occur alone. In my estimation, it is comorbid. A gambling addiction, is also dealing with other mental issues or other addictions. For example, they may be struggling with chronic loneliness, alcoholism, sexual addictions and others. For a person who is suffering from severe forms of addictions which is the type you have described, they need the help of others to beat it completely. They cannot do it alone. However, they must first want to be helped if not whatever help that is rendered is useless.

Gambling is not the primary problem- it's the addiction that follows with it.

Like any other type of addiction, it could lead to potential problems not with just your family, finances, and relationships but to also to yourself as you slowly self-destruct from its effects. Once you realize that your habits slowly become uncontrollable, then that addiction would take-over every rational decision remaining.

Again just to reiterate, the main problem is not gambling but it's the effects that come with it especially if you fail to take any action against it.

Yeah I do agree with you.

Despite countless and tons of stories being shared everyday by people who experienced gambling addiction, there are still victims that would keep falling on the same pitfall. Even with every warning being advertised everywhere, people would still turn a blind eye and follow their own decisions when it comes to addiction.

He has cars and wanted more which led him into gambling. When you are gambling because you want to make more money from gambling, you have just ruined your life because if care is not taken, you will lose everything that you've toiled for. Gamble with caution and don't be greedy because the consequences of addiction is bad.

Addiction in this case is not only about the gamblers alone, but on every other things man can do and be addicted to and the moment such is being set, to control their emotions becomes more difficult to do, because they wanted to be free of doing things even at the expense of what may cost them much, some sell their house, take loan, steal and engaged in all manner of behaviors just to fulfill their desires for what they are being addicted to.

The issue of addiction has probably existed ever since people started gambling. People become addicted because they have overly developed magical thinking, as well as an unwillingness to take responsibility, a kind of childish mindset. At the same time, there is often no clear strategy for how to behave in case of either winning or losing. In addition, an inflated ego can play a role, especially when someone doesn’t want to admit defeat.

[Dunamisx]

At some point in time, even those that have been found addicted are leaving to regret why they are into such condition, because it's such a pity that ones it is set in, to get out of it is not an easy task to do, addiction will make the gamblers see the negative part of gambling more often, especially when their targets are not meant, this keeps hurting on the gambler, as the more they are trying, the harder it becomes to achieve anything from gambling.

That's the consequences of addiction, no different answer to your question.

The final stage of every addicted gambler is terrible, the only difference is anyone who early takes new leaf before the final harm.

Addiction is a disturbing urge to conquer, but people do when they make up their mind.

The perfect way to avoid addiction is not getting into it, it's a difficult habit to stop before worse case scenario happens.

[Orpichukwu]

Addiction is just something bad. Anyone who is addicted to anything finds it's very difficult to get out of it or even consider what those who are close to them are feeling due to their actions. All they care about is satisfying their gambling activities; nothing else matters to them, and it takes time before they realize how bad what they are doing is, and only a few of them are also able to get out of it without the help of others.

I’ve read several stories about how negatively gambling addiction can affect people in different ways, and these stories has helped me shape my decision making process when gambling. Plus, I’ve been dealt with by gambling in the past and that has taught me a lot of lessons, my joy was that it didn’t get to the point of having to borrow money or even sell of my assets just to feed my urge to gamble.

This is the idea of those that think that gambling is the easiest way to become rich or make more money but not knowing that gambling has to be followed with carefulness, what you said is the reason people should see greed as one of the major problem of human race, am not saying greed does not have it's advantage no, just as you said he has cars but he needs more, I have a question, do he take gambling as an investment, we know that there are gamblers who gamble for fun and for the profit, but the thing is, whether we are gambling for fun or profit, we must keep to the concept and make sure we play responsibly.

That?s a lesson to learn. We don?t need to go through that kind of devastating experience just to understand it. The real problem isn?t gambling itself, it?s the addiction. A gambler who can?t handle the stress of gambling ends up losing control, and that?s why it?s called an addiction.

Hopefully we don?t get greedy, especially gambling with the mindset of getting rich fast, because most of the time the opposite happens. Unless you really have the skills to reach the top, and let?s be honest, less than 1% can actually do that. Just think about that percentage, you?d already be lucky to be part of that few.

It?s okay to imagine big wins, but don?t be one-sided. Always imagine the risk too.

Look, i think that in any industry, becoming greedy never leads to solutions that are, let's say, good for you.
The more greedy you become, the more you become prone to risk and you also become aggressive, it doesn't take much, a mistake or a stroke of bad luck to end up very badly.

[livingfree]

We have heard multiple stories like what you have stated OP of how they've ruined their lives and their family's as well because of their gambling addiction.

And so it's also the same with other addictions too. The main point here is if we're going to gamble, we shouldn't go that far and think of satisfying ourselves by putting those assets that we've worked hard for as a collateral, so we can continue to gamble.

Set yourself rules and boundaries that if you don't have spare money to gamble with, you stick to that and don't gamble.

I also went through a situation where I ended up having financial problems and had to sell some assets, but it wasn't to continue gambling; it was to cover short-term needs. What made the difference was that I received support from good people around me to fix everything. They didn't leave when I was having problems, but gave strong encouragement to improve my life. They didn't even forbid me from gambling again; they just needed to know my activities and help manage my finances.

[SOKO-DEKE]

The reason why many people end up becoming addicted gamblers is their mindset.they always build around gambling, as they believe they can make money from it and that gambling is the easiest way to make money. They often forget that gambling is all about lucky. Even though some people know it is all about luck but they still feel that their luck can come to them at any time. This makes them keep believing that they will win, yet they continue to lose everything to gambling. Even after some of them have lost everything, instead of learning from.mistake they have make  they will keep hoping that the next bet will be their winning one and continue like that forever.

Few wins lure a simple gambler to an addicted gambler and when he becomes committed to the addiction, it would be very hard for them to come back again. Gambling addiction has broken many families in the world. I had a story in my region that, the couple were doing well in their business until the husband became a gambler and started using the business money to gamble and the woman was warning him but he was persistence so one day she decided to left him.

This is not the only story I have heard so far, some of the stories I have heard here in the gambling board and other websites, some of the gamblers even lost their jobs and life's too. I'm too lazy at finding post if not I would have shown you a thread there a gambler committed suicide because he can't take it anymore. If I can remember properly, the gamblers jumped from a high building because he was doo dip into gamble. So for the gambler you talked about, if he can change his ways of gambling, he can actually meet his family again in the future.

Addiction to anything is actually regarded aa a psychological issue but it is funny that a lot of people take Addiction to be normal.  Whether it is gambling or drug addiction the dependency on it is what makes it a mental issue that's the reason why it is very difficult to stop an addiction. But getting addicted to something doesn't just start in a day it's a process that a lot of people tend to ignore

That's why it's called addiction, it will cost you alot, apart from the addictions like gambling, drinking, womanaising, and other addictions that will cause you to loose money.. there are also other addictions that will not make you loose money but will make you loose your mental health, physically structure etc

It's sadly unfortunate that we are in a generation where different types of addiction will hunt you so bad. In such a generation 90% of individuals will fall under one addicted or the other

But as we are all aware of this situation the only solution is to train our children well and send them to good school that will make the probability of such happen very low.
