What are the reasons for addictions

[tbterryboy]

Considering I do have some addictions (not gambling), I think "being too used to it" could be another reason. I did not think of that, but I do smoke (not drugs, just normal cigarettes) and that means I am addicted to something and the reality is that I am just too used to it.

If I try to stop now (tried a few times) there is something missing and my body actually does react to it, not sure how and why but I am sure there is a scientific reason for it. I don't know if gambling addicts are the same, never been one, but that could be tough.

Addiction is anything that goes beyond control. Smoking is a good example. In the case of smoking, people are addicted to the emotional excitement and dopamine feeling. Which is never possible to quit in a day because if you stop suddenly, it can have a physical and mental impact on the person. Both gambling and smoking cause mental and financial damage, yet they cannot be easily quit. Even then, if someone realizes that he is overly dependent on something or is afraid of being addicted, then if he has a strong mindset, it will be possible to gradually bring it under control.

I want to know how people easily get addicted to gambling.

Do you believe gambling addiction easily comes when someone takes gambling as their source of income?

Or

Do you believe is a result of consistent gambling, like trying to shy away some responsibilities at home or what?

Please I am trying to know the major things that causes gambling addiction, and why is the rate of addiction becoming that increasing on a regular basis.

Before iths question, so many people are into it without even knowing that they have been addicted to gambling. I know of someone who.  knows  every betting platform and groups. He knows current form of clubs and teams and information the coach will be using  about a particular match. And he knows who to call that has current score. Also create group chat for gamblers. When you see this kind of person just know he has been addicted to gambling. Is not ready to work but believe he will make millions on betting.

obviously, if you are used to having addictions and know how to manage them, in my opinion, you can better manage whether or not you fall into an addiction. Of course, if you have many that negatively affect your life, it becomes a problem. Instead, if they only make you feel good and have fun, they are called vices, not addictions.

I think addiction comes by creating the 100th thread on the subject.

It all starts small, and then it spins like a wheel. So, I want to say that we simply must try to keep ourselves under control at all times and not try to lose it or think that suddenly we're the luckiest, or even better than other players. As soon as that thought arises, a gradual descent to the bottom begins. I will never think that I'm better than other players. I think this is why many narcissists and overconfident players lose so quickly. Frankly, those who understand this will be able to hold on to their deposits longer than others, and might even be lucky enough to win.

People lose their self-control due to their unrealistic expectations and decide to gamble excessively. This mentality gradually starts to decline, because through this lack of control, the amount of loss exceeds the capacity. We have to accept the reality of the game first and then we have to decide to gamble excessively in the hope of something. Here I would never want to lose my control because nothing will happen as expected. No matter how much we expect, if we do not maintain our control in the end, we will never be able to protect ourselves from big losses. Following the limits and staying away from ego is the biggest weapon for long-term survival.

Once you do set out that kind of unrealistic approach towards gambling then it will be that pushing up yourself into doing things on which isnt that right anymore specially when you are already spending up too much money on which its that already go beyond into the amount that you are afford to lose, then this is a solid sign that you are already addicted to it. Its always important that you should be setting out that limit and moderation when you do play gambling. Addiction is being molded up at the time that you do become that too impulsive or having those hopes that you can make huge amount of money because of gambling. There are just that those times or lets say that its common that we would be trying out to chase up our loses at the time that we do lose money in gambling on which this will be that making you impulsive.

Once you would be that losing control with that urge then you would be finding  yourself on a situation on which you do keep up on chasing even though you do saw that it is already that not possible because gambling is fully highly do rely with luck and if you arent that good on control then you are bound into such disaster.

I've been smoking less lately; sometimes I don't smoke more than two a day, and that's because there comes a point when it's hard to concentrate or be in a good mood. But thanks to a friend who keeps repeating to me like a mantra that I should quit smoking, and constantly encouraging me, I'm already quitting on my own without feeling the withdrawal symptoms as much. And yes, gambling addiction can have similar symptoms or share similar sensations, but it's not the same at the end of the day. Gambling doesn't damage your health as much as cigarettes, drugs, or alcohol might.

I think for them, the addiction affects their mind more than their body. I say this because it's an addiction that may not end so quickly and affects all emotions, especially causing anxiety to have something of high value. It must be very difficult to deal with an addiction that affects emotions more than the physical body.

One of the major reasons for gambling addiction is poverty and lack of source of income nor livelihood  for an individual and in bid to survive he now depends on gambling to make a living from it and any little money he has he uses it to gamble, that's one of the major causes of gambling addictions and there are some people that have a source of livelihood but couldn't do without gambling even though they ain't gambling to make profit but just for fun and that's how their money is also going down the drain in gambling.

Consistently gambling has nothing to do with shying away from the responsibilities at home, once you begin to gamble and you haven't won either you play and you encounter looses, you will want to continue playing hoping to win so you can win and recover your losses so that's how one becomes additicted, once you have the mindset that you must win back all you have lost you keep betting and if you ain't lucky enough you will still loose, so it's better we bet responsibly and wisely in other not to be addicted to gambling.

Emotion is not something we can really point to for causing addiction. There are people that get addicted to gambling not because they are being emotional but because they continue to gamble everytime they suopsed to take a rest and focus on how they can become a bether person. Gambling is an activity and their are people that really enjoyed it and can not do without it.

Sometimes having to repeat a thread or post several time isn’t always that bad, yeah it seems like spamming the board, but we all know that threads can be easily buried down the board in seconds, especially in the gambling board which is literally the most busy board in the forum. Not everyone would also wanna go through the stress of having to scroll through pages to find a topic, thus making creating new threads on the subject kinda helpful if you ask me.

you have a point, emotions isn't really the direct cause of gambling addiction because every gambler is prone to that feeling. Those that get addicted to gambling the msot are people that spend too much time gambling. The system was designed to take from constant gamblers and in a lot of cases gamblers get addicted when they lose because they try to get back what they have already lost.

Gambling for the sake of winning a fortune.

Using gambling to console yourself from the ugly situation you're passing through instead, of finding a real solution to solve the problem.

Chasing your losses because you are too greedy to let it go.

Chasing after your loss in gambling is never an option because it will only bring people more close to addiction.
Just as you have said, using gambling as an source of income will not help, instead they should engage in other activities that is legal and beneficial to their life, because that is a way to improve themselves better.

Getting addicted in gambling is obvious but the thing is that some people gamble out of curiosity they don't think of what will happen next in gambling and then gamble with whatever they feel like that to profit to them, so in gambling you don't need to spend that or much you need to calculate yourself very well so that you will not be discouraged so many of us who participate in gambling and the lost a lot cannot be a gambling addicted any longer because we know the implications, I have said this severally but why people get addicted in gambling is because of there are pursuing what they have lost and also goodness is one of the things that made them to lose in gambling so pursuing what greediness cost you to lose will also make you to be addicted more in gambling
