Tips for Rehabilitation Gambling Addicts.

[Dr.Bitcoin_Strange]

All the 4 tips you have given are very important for someone that doesn't want to get addicted to gambling and also for someone who is already addicted, the last point which is about self realization and advice is what helped some people to always remain discipline, while the act of spending less time in gambling and then more time on any other important activities such as job, can also prevent addiction and help an addict to also change for good. All of the factors are important because if the person obeys it, they won't suffer addiction that will last for eternity.

Spending your money and time on gambling is a major sign of gambling addiction. I don't think reducing the number of betting slips in sports betting will end addiction. I like placing bets on different games in diverse leagues, but I am not addicted. I just divided the amount I have allocated for betting among these different leagues.

Many people who are addicted will never accept that they need help. The ability to convince them that they need help is more difficult. If they accept they need help, the problem is half solved.

Is that so? Does it mean that it's a sign of addiction if I'm spending some money and my time on gambling like I always do? In my opinion, It's not really an addiction or a sign if I'm playing responsibly and also playing with just the amount that I can afford to lose and also with my spare time. Just like you, you bet on different league and you are not addicted, that's because you're playing responsibly.

Reducing the number of bet slips might not stop addiction but it is part of what can contribute to reducing someone's recklessness, reducing betting slip can not work on its own but all other factors have to be present that's why I earlier mentioned the 4 factors. The person must first come to a realization that they are becoming addicted and what follows next is to reduce the number of bets they are playing, reduce the playing time and control the amount they can play with.  It's just my opinion tho.

Accurately said, some people depend on drugs and therapy like they are the only way out of gambling addiction forgetting that if the gambler isn't willing to change none of those ways taken to curb gambling addiction might not even work...stopping an addiction take conscious efforts and discipline, if the gambler doesn't put in his best to quit there is no way therapy and other methods will be effective

You're right addiction can only be stopped if the person is willing to change, but if their mind is not made up there's no way you can stop the addiction even if they consult the best therapy in the world yet they can't stop it. So before seeking for help from a therapist or a doctor we need to ensure that our mind is well made up to stop. this way, whatever thing we are being told or any treatment that is giving to us can easily penetrate.

I believe that all addictions have the same beginning from any perspective: the addicted person must have enough willpower to overcome it, because that's the starting point. Some wake up one day and decide to quit gambling, others find it harder to make that decision and need professional support, but if the individual doesn't want to quit, or isn't aware of the problem and accept it as such, it's a losing battle. How can you break an addiction in someone who doesn't want to quit?

Exactly, how can you remove it from your system if you are not willing to do it, similar to what you said a person who are into this situation needs to help himself to prevent getting deeper to addiction, if you can't deal it on your own you can seek for help with someone who you really trust, up to the point where professional is indeed can assist helping to a complete curement when the person/gambler is really willing to submit and admit that he's already addicted.

Addiction is one thing that, has become prominent when it comes to gambling this is as a result of the rise in gambling activities which has largely been caused by the influx of Casino. As Casinos increase the number of person's involved in gambling has also increased and this has also increased the numbers of person's with gambling addiction problems. how can one get out of addiction these are fundamental questions that, every gambler should always think of how they can break free from gambling addiction as most person's involved in gambling is knownly and unknowingly addicted. Here are some tips which you can use in escaping addiction.

Reducing the numbers of slips you bet .

This is very important reducing the numbers of betting slip is one good way to break free from gambling addiction. How dose this work you don't need to stop gambling at once as this is hard to do but what you can do is by reducing the numbers of slips which you bet on daily, weekly and even monthly. If you are someone who is used to betting six slips every day or weekly as the case maybe. You can break free by reducing the numbers of slips to for or three gradually which you can further reduce down as time passes.

I like this advice. I liken it to online computer games, which are incredibly addictive. At least that's how it was for me. When I played just one match a day, I always played it very carefully and thoughtfully, devoting all my attention and energy to it. But if I played four matches, by the third or fourth I'd become physically tired, losing my concentration and desire to win. The same thing happens in gambling: you can't play a lot and devote several hours to it.
Concentration declines, hunger, fatigue, and the desire to go to the bathroom or sleep begin to set in. Every activity is good only in moderation.

If addicted gambler want to quit gamble, the only way to reach that goal is action. If addicted gambler still have access to his own money, no matter if he used one or two therapist, he wouldn't stop his gambling activity. Because, he still have money access to be used for deposit. Money is the way for him to go to gamble, if he able to cut it, he totally can reduce the desire to gamble. But, he must have someone that can manage his money wisely not to scam him. even they are one of close family member, someone can turn to be a scammer when see you have a lot of money

Our fate is largely dependent on us so as a gambling addicts you can't be totally free when you have not made up yourself to break free. This is one secret most people don't know but this is the must important aspect of every gambler as it comes to freeing yourself of addiction.

Many addicted gamblers have reported that they sometimes can't even sleep because they want to gamble. There are two types of situations: for example, if a gambler wins a lot of money, they'll have a hard time falling asleep due to the emotions. They'll want to repeat those emotions again, or they'll think about how they'll spend the money. Yes, that's not bad, but emotional swings are a strong factor in emotional disturbance. And if a gambler loses a lot of money, they'll get angry, lie in bed, and think about how to win back their money as quickly as possible. Many of them even prefer to stop lying down and continue gambling. And by morning, such a gambler, of course, has lost absolutely all their money, and this is the wrong attitude for a normal person. A healthy body needs six to eight hours of sleep to rest. This is necessary so that thoughts can fully organize themselves during this time.

Rehabilitation for addicted persons should mean complete abstention.

Make it clear to people around you that you want to recover. They shouldn't pressure you. If the activity is explicitly about gambling you shouldn't be invited. It can be hard but maybe your friends also should offer more options and talk other things. Or else you should make new friends.

Reduction doesn't mean rehabilitation. If you were sn addict at any point and you could slip again maybe the better course of action is to quit it entirely.

Gamblers who have clear and serious motive to change, to leave gambling addiction, should also be transparent of what they really want to happen.

They can't expect that people around will eventually know what they are going through, and what do they want to change in their life, so they have to be open to their family and friends so they can support their goal to change if they really want to.

And most importantly, change should start from their own selves, and let others fill their own roles in order to help with the current condition of the addicted gambler.

In any case, maintaining a secret about what is happening with your addiction is going to continue throwing more mud into the water, since the feeling of guilt will always undermine your inner peace. Your ego has to be put down and take assistance because almost all the time self reliance will mislead you away of self improvement. Without social support we cannot be guided in the right direction toward the path of complete recovery. Close family members have the best safety net we have when the commitment to change starts failing us in the face of temptation.

Gambling addiction is a serious matter, there's a thread similar to this saying that sometimes it can't be discovered by yourself, it's sometimes noticed by your friends and family. Sometimes self-awareness is good too, if you're very observant to your activities, betting more and increasing bank roll is already a sign that you're addicted to it.

You know that overspending on gambling might lead to a lot of losses but if you cross to that line, you should know for yourself that you should stop it. These are good tips for rehabilitation, but I'm surely can tell than once a person is addicted, it's a serious disease that can't be handled individually. You need your friends and family and some serious medication or therapy just to escape the addiction.

Compared to ourselves, sometimes other people can realize the changes that occur more quickly. I think what happens to addicted actors why they are slower to realize their addiction is because they don't think in that direction but occasionally they realize that they have gone too far, but they don't care about it and still focus on their goals about the victory that must be obtained. And I think it's lucky for them to be able to recover from their addiction without the help of encouragement from others, but if the addiction is already at a severe level, help from others is needed.

The personal realization should be kept at the top of the priority list, this is the first step for a gambler to overcome addiction. Nothing can be better or work for him until he realizes that he is addicted to gambling and wants to get out of it. For that, he will need to minimize the time spent, use of slips, and seek better treatment.

Every gambler should observe his or her activities once a week and analyze whether he is addicted, not addicted, or close to addiction. If he is at the beginning stages, then the recovery will be fast. The earlier he notices, the faster his treatment will be.

Effective rehabilitation is not about restriction alone, it's entails restoring balance and control.Rehabilitation must focus on why the gambling occurs, not only on financial consequences.Stress, isolation,and emotional regulation are often at the root.Address the behavoirs,the root cause and not just the losses and we need to remember to replace gambling with structured alternatives.

The only solution to addiction is quitting, it’s the only thing that works.. but then it always hard for an addict to just quit whatever he’s addicted at once without failing.
They need breaks, and someone or something to enforce those breaks while they work on another activities that can replace gambling before quitting it totally .. I don’t want it to sound more like a repetition  but all I can say is that..
it’s not easy and the best solution is to not get yourself addicted in the first place , but if you eventually find yourself addicted, the second best solution is to quit.

Seeking professional counsel/ Help.

There is the place of professional advice and help. There are people who are professional when it comes to helping gambling addicts. Professional counsel Help the gambler to meet meet professional which has a large information based on the training which they has been able to acquire.these professional some of them feel what you are currently going through because they have been experienced what it means to be addicted.

These so called professional counsel you mentioned, what measures do they take to help addict out of the messed they are, do they provide some sort of medical pills to help out or advise addict what to do and what not to do, do you think these victims will be able to listen to advises?

I don't think addict be able to listen to advises from professional or anyone except would be force, which I think that wouldn't be even possible.
