Been addicted is chaos to one's state entirely

[Pandorak]

I have been gambling for the past ten years now and seriously I must say I have lost more than I have profited thou it feels as if I should keep on trying so I can recover back my losses but that's the more money I keep on losing sometimes I will delete the app to free myself from it then during the week ends my friends will show me some nice games asking if I have interest in it then the spirit comes and I will download back the app and I will go back to what has been eating me up is so addicting that I called the app my daily food.
Some persons out there might be facing the same situation and it is affecting there state of mind and how they live there life's the fact is to just let go you can't recover those losses is gone just accept defeat and move on though is hard but you have to that's what I did

From what i can see, your problem lies in losses that you cannot afford, in other words, you are not using money that you can afford to lose, so you keep trying to recover your losses. You must understand that gambling is unpredictable, to minimize losses and the impact of addiction, you must have a fixed budget for gambling. At the very least, this can prevent greater losses. 

As for your friends, you should avoid them as much as possible right now. If you can't resist the urge to keep gambling, you're already overwhelmed by the losses you've incurred. You need to learn to control yourself before deciding to meet with them again.

When actions become addictions, it means that a person has serious problems and needs to address them urgently. For example, drinking a little alcohol on certain occasions, or drinking alcohol every day without reason, with the aim of getting drunk. I hope you understand what I mean.
And here you need to pull yourself together, because the consequences of such addictions are always negative. I think that for casinos, such players are not very good for their reputation. Casinos that take addiction problems seriously have mechanisms for “responsible gaming” and self-isolation for players who are prone to uncontrolled behavior.

It's not easy to overcome addiction because even you are trying to stop, temptations are there to gamble again. The thought that you might recover back what you lost (and this time you'll be in profit just like others who became fortunate) can break your willingness to stop gambling. That's why it's crucial to be firm with your decision to never return back despite of those who can inflluence you to gamble again. Change what you used to if you are really determine, control yourself and divert your attention to other activities that can hinder you to gamble again.

Of course, if someone has lost a lot to gambling and his only goal is to recover his losses, he should drop that idea right away and move on because even though gambling can be profitable, he can see from his own example that for him it is not. I mean, even if by some lucky chance he wins a lot, which makes his losses recovered, he is very likely to try to win even more and lose everything as a result.If you’re that kind of person, gambling is not for you.

Your friends have turned your achilles heel. For me, the only reason they can be excused is if they didn't know you were trying to avoid addiction. If they knew you were battling addiction but decided to be showing you gambling apps, you've to cut them off. They don't mean well for you. True friendship is helpful not harmful.

Yeah, chasing losses hasn't benefited anyone. However, there are cases where people got lucky by trying again and again. So, it's not about giving up easily.

I think gambling with money you can afford to lose can reduce financial risk and keep your mind calm, allowing you to maintain self-control. Gambling is not an easy way to make money for entertainment or get rich quick. If you lose while gambling, you keep betting to get back the money you lost and the chances of losing money increase even more and you can't stay within your limits, which gradually increases the chances of addiction. There is no doubt that addiction can slowly destroy your well-organized life.

This is the way you can be if you are a veteran and if you know what you are doing. But, there are people who are either newbies or people who end up with addiction and those people will not end up with making that much money because they simply end up putting in money they can't afford to lose, and when they end up losing they do not know what to do.

I have seen it in real life, people who couldn't afford to do more betting and got into so much debt that bank came in to seize their stuff and his family had to bail him out. So it's clear that there are people who keep making the same mistakes and for that reason I understand why they are doing the same thing, we should be considering how this could be way different if they realize gambling is designed to make them lose money on the long run.

Honestly,  this is draining and the first step to avoiding this addiction is accepting defeat that you can never win back all you have lost for the past 10 years of you gambling, it's not possible and if you keep betting with that mindset you will keep loosing more and be hurting inside, all you have to do is to avoid those set of friends that you visit on weekends so the spirit of gambling won't arouse while in their midst or better still tell them about your addiction and ask them not to show you games that will make you go back to gambling because it's so depressing and you now live in regrets.

With this story of yours it practically means you have been betting with a huge amount that you can't afford to loose freely and that's what is eating you up so badly and you want to recover it by chasing your looses, but know that once you keep chasing looses you are literally open to more losses, so I will advise you to quit betting and stay away from those friends of yours that still show you games to play, knowing fully well you want to stop addiction.

One of the most effective ways to get yourself out of a gambling addiction or any other addiction is to distance yourself from the things that attract you to gambling. When you are able to distance yourself from these things, you will not think about gambling. Or if your friends ask you to gamble or if you are involved in gambling, try to avoid them and make good friends who are not involved in all these things. When you start associating with good people, you will automatically try to give up all the bad things.

That's the same opinion I have about that too, life is all about doing what you need to protect your peace and keep your mind right. Most people find it hard to take a break from friendships like this due to the bonds that have been created over the years but this is something that must be done in thsi case so that there would be an improvement. like you said, it is better for him to start focusing on himself.

There's a saying that when someone finally decides to keep their life better, they have a reduced number of friends, it can be difficult to dissociate from such group of friends due to the bond shared but in such a situation, you don't have to compromise for any reason because what you are seeking is to have peace, to prevent yourself from being enveloped in a lifestyle that you have never imagined for once but finding yourself in it because of your friends, you are going to make a hard decision which will make you better or worse.

Isn't this some psychological effects of gambling that can't be stopped by mere warning? Gamers at large have this mutual thought of gaining back their losses and would do anything to get it done. The casino makes more profits from such players who cultivates chasing losses blindly for the sole aim of garnering all they've lost to the house. Even when they do get it, the house smiles at them, because they'll bring it back to the casino, since they know of nothing else to do with the big funds.

Unfortunately there are a lot of people who end up with losing and then keep losing because they lost. That is not going to change all that much when they grow up and get to learn because it's a personality thing, even if they become veterans we are going to end up seeing this be a lot more different because if someone can change themselves completely that is when it will matter.

If you love chaos, then you can be a newbie or a veteran but you are going to end up with losses in any case. Just chasing your losses makes no sense to me at all, that is the worst way to move forward and somehow people still keep doing that, it makes no sense to me at all. I do hope that it gets better with time so people can stop and not chase anymore.

This happens when you chase the loss and want to recover it, because the primary objective is not fun, but earning money. However, when you play just to have fun, the priority is different and so if you lose that's the end of it.
