How can we help addicted gamblers recover

[Achalugo BTC]

There is this popular saying 'Where there is a will, there is a way". The sufferer would have to first accept that he has a problem and there should be a willingness to end the undesirable behaviour. The individual would see you as an enemy of his progress if he still sees gambling as his means of becoming rich. I spoke with one who was always using his daily wages to gamble and he started using abusive words on me. I have to avoid him.

Yes, one can't be help or save if they don't want to be help or save also, you can't force something to do what they don't want to do, all because you want the best for them. That is why you can only try your best by telling them the right thing to do, which they are to make every necessary adjustments for their betterment, but if they didn't put effort to make-up for their wrong deal or their wrong decision. Then, they are to be left alone which you have try to make them understand that the only way to be free from gambling addiction is to just gamble responsibly within your budget.

The first thing to do is to make up the mind of the gambler that he will abstain from gambling permanently. It was found that after abstaining from gambling for a week, he was attracted to gambling again. That is, first he has to plan and then he has to abstain from gambling according to the plan. We will always encourage him so that he does not get addicted to this bad addiction for the second time. We have to build friendship with him and encourage him in such a way that he develops hatred for gambling. We have to have an open discussion with his family and keep him in an environment where there is no opportunity to participate in gambling.

In my opinion, someone who is addicted to gambling will find it difficult to control themselves, let alone suggest any gambling prevention activities, as you said to them, their brain will rebel and not accept the suggestion, that is the real problem we see, I mean "sick people cannot treat themselves who are sick" that is the main point.

This means that for someone who is addicted to gambling, the role of people at home such as parents, siblings, neighbors and close friends is very important and important to overcome gambling problems. Likewise, their actions are very important to boost all the actions needed to overcome this addiction. What we see in the field is that their inactive role is what makes someone fall into a gambling addiction.

Yea, staying away from gambling for a while will help the gambler a lot to recover fast from addiction. But if the addicted gambler fails to stop gambling, all your efforts to help him out of addiction will be a waste of time. This is why we cannot do more than ourselves but to confirm that the addicted gambler is ready to free himself from addiction.

great, you have discussed some important points how to get rid of gambling addiction, I think it is not as simple as we want to deal with, because if the gambling addict people can't control himself then he can never get out of gambling addiction, those who want to get extra profit and get rich overnight are the ones who get involved in gambling addiction. Even after losing continuously, they don't want to take a break from gambling. Rather, they gambling continues even after borrowing money to they are friends, neighbors and many gamblers end up selling their valuable assets and spending them on gambling. Those who consider gambling a source of income become addicted to it. To get rid of gambling addiction, I think first of all, the budget should be fixed, so that you will not deposit more than a certain amount every week, and when all losses are made, you will stop gambling. In this way, after setting a budget limit, there is no chance of getting addicted to gambling. The main problem of gambling addiction is aggressive gambling and not setting a budget.

It will indeed be very difficult if the addict does not want himself to escape from the addiction he suffers from, it will make it difficult for him to heal, there needs to be a willingness first from the person, but if you wait for that, isn't it also going to be very long waiting for someone to have the awareness to stop gambling before spending his money? isn't there a more determined action than just waiting for the addict to admit he wants to stop? what we might be able to do is to force him to save him, and that's one way than waiting for him to fall poor first.

It is not really easy to say that you are going to stop gambling as someone that is an addicted gambler.
Gambling is not going to be an easy thing for those that are with gambling addiction due to how deep that have gotten themselves into gambling. New gamblers are the ones that are easily addicted to gambling because they want to make quick money.

He thinks it is easy to do by someone who is addicted to gambling, it is an action that will be very difficult, maybe if we talk about it it is very easy, doing 1, 2 and 3 stages that we can think and write down but in reality it is not that easy.
All of this really needs to be controlled by other people to be completely free from gambling first to make the addict able to disciplinedly carry out his plan to get out of addiction, if there is no strict monitoring there is a probability of returning to gambling.

Counseling alone or limited gambling may not be enough to solve the problem. The most important thing is that the gambler must first decide to quit and stop gambling. If they do not help themselves, they will never be able to overcome this addiction. The very first step is to make them realize that they are addicted and need to come back from it. Once they understand this, they can start trying, and afterward, taking further initiatives may actually lead to improvement.

A lot of addicted gamblers put in effort to stop gambling addiction but they fail to do that, we can offer support if they have made up their mind to quit gambling addiction. Most gamblers that are addicted to gambling Don't put in effort to quit this terrible addiction, if they don't work on restricting themselves there is no way that you can help them out. Quitting gambling isn't really difficult but most people go about it the wrong way, The best way to quit gambling addiction is to have a time limit, cutting the hours you spend gambling is important

realize they are addicted and they begin to think of getting out of addiction because without this urge to get out of it. there is nothing that works for this gambler. i'd give him pills everyday to get high and sleep every time til  he gets addicted to the drugs and forget casino. but this is anotehr addiction again.

if it has to be cold turkey, i bring the gambler to an isolated place lock him up. not the ideal way in order for his addiction to stop but it would work and not having to spend money for therapy.

The decisions you talked about are very important and another key point is to understand such people and give them good advice so they can return to a normal life. It is necessary to find out why they are gambling, what is pushing them and what their main aim is. If a casino player can be calmly guided and helped back to the right path, that will be a very good thing. But for those who are already addicted, it is quite difficult to bring them out of it, although if they are properly understood, it is still possible. To me, the best way is to understand the person and then help them return to normal life step by step in a systematic way.

If anything can be done under control, then the results will definitely be positive, but whenever control is lost, the results will also be negative. Those who have control in gambling usually do not fall into disaster, but when a gambler becomes addicted, he loses his control and falls into disaster. An addicted gambler can gradually fall into such a disaster from which it may be difficult for him to recover. Therefore, if he can be brought back from that situation by getting proper help before he loses too much, then it will definitely be appreciable.

An addicted gambler keeps his attention in gambling most of the time. Therefore, it is not possible to get rid of this type of addiction quickly, but if the gambler himself understands about his addiction and tries to get out of it, then he can get rid of such a situation. Although it is not possible to get rid of this addiction quickly, it can be done by changing habits gradually. Keeping yourself busy with various activities is an important factor. It is difficult for those who are busy all day to get addicted to gambling. My advice is to keep yourself busy most of the time in a day.

You’re right they want to quit or recover from their addiction, yet they’re unwilling to make the effort to do so, and that’s what ultimately makes everything harder. Because the motivation has to come from within, including the determination to recover from a gambling addiction. It’s also strange when they say they want to quit, yet they visit the casino every day to gamble.

I know it’s not easy to quit right away; it all takes time, and during that process, we inevitably have to wrestle with our own thoughts, because the strong urge to gamble usually comes from the mind. Our minds have been conditioned to the point where we’re used to gambling.

In addition to reducing the time limit for playing, it's important to consider cutting losses if they start to occur during a gaming session. A major problem for many players is that they simply can't stop, and they get sucked deeper and deeper with each bet, until they're completely broke. Simply put, we need to pay close attention to emotional control and avoid playing when we're in a bad mood, as we'll start trying to improve our mood by betting, which is completely unacceptable and almost impossible.

The effects of addiction are really profound for beginners, because usually in the first stage, gamblers have a lot of greed and passion, so they get involved very deeply in it very easily. And once they get addicted to it, there is no way for them to normalize, they lose everything all the time. That is why to survive it, we have to understand gambling from the very beginning and understand the reality, then we have to start playing responsibly.

A strong mindset is important for getting out of addiction because if the addicted person does not have such a mindset that he is constantly being harmed by gambling. And because of the lack of understanding that he needs to get out of it, the road to getting rid of addiction can be much more difficult for many. However, no one can get out of addiction in two days just because there is a mindset to get out of addiction. In this case, along with the mindset, it is necessary to abstain from gambling in a planned manner. With the help of friends or family members, a person is able to gradually overcome addiction.

If a gambler is not ready to help him or her self free from gambling addiction there's a very higher chances that his case will become or worse than ever. Gambling addiction is not something someone will just wake up to say and all of a sudden they will be free from it, no. If someone want to be free from gambling addiction they actually need to make up their mind. Even though you are willing to help an addicted gambler breaks free from addiction, so long as he or she haven't made up his or her mind to be free from it all your efforts will be a waste one.

It's a norm how we discuss about gambling addiction, how to prevent it and/signs of addiction but we barely discuss on how to help those that are addicted gamblers recover or make responsible gambling decisions and there might be addicted gamblers here who needs this tips or you might know of an addict who needs it.
I am not a gamble addiction rehabilitator but I do know few tips that might be helpful.
Gambling addiction is caused by the belief that gamble can add up as a source of income so some of the tips to solving addiction is to:
1. first change the way the gambler sees gamble. You might need a lot of convincing to do that so if you truly want to help any addict you also need to be patient
2. Secondly since gamble addiction is a habit that has been formed overtime it would be very difficult to stop overnight however, you'll need to give them the right routine to do or practice in stead of gambling irresponsibly like, gambling with a budget and within certain time limit.
3. You also need to regularly check up on them and be nice to them so they feel loved because that's the only way they're going to adhere to your instructions
4. Lastly if they get comfortable gambling with budget then you can present them with other forms of entertainment in place of gamble to prevent them from having a change of thought and falling back to their previous situation.
But if the don't get comfortable gambling with budget then you might need to repeat the process again.

These are just my thought on how to stop gambling addiction but if you have any idea feel free to drop them.

There's no other way to help gamble addicts than to ask them to quit gambling for their sanity but it's easier said than done because addiction has eaten deep into the individual involved in it, some of the factors that causes this addiction is when people don't have a source of income and they depend on betting for survival, it's makes it difficult for such person to quit and end addiction due to lack of Job.

If you actually want to help someone end addiction you don't present them an avenue for it, like you saying that you will present them with a budget will still keep them gambling the more rather than quitting. For someone that has been addicted to gambling to be free is quite difficult and it requires a strong mindset from the person to be able to control himself so he can be free. Giving them good advice will also go along way of helping them.

No simple way of assisting a gambling addict. It has become so addicted that it is hard to stop. Lack of a consistent income causes a person to only survive through gambling which makes it very hard to give up. Provision of shortcuts such as the additional money tends to exacerbate the situation. Healing needs immense mental powers. There is still a need to give sound advice and help out the patient, but the final decision is always on the part of the individual.
