One year temporal vacation towards gambling could reduce addiction?

[Betwrong]

I have come to understand that many people do take option of self-exclusion from some of the gambling site due to their much engagement in gambling which is making them to lose control or even falling victim to gambling addiction that is when you will see them doing that. But I have been thinking instead of people to entirely go on self-exclusion why not they focused on given a 1 year gap from gambling at least this could help to reduce how engaged they could be while gambling and it will also lessened your attention and desire to make specific amount from gambling.

Is this option better?

I think it's better because it's more realistic. If someone decides to never gamble, in reality this person will be gambling in a month or two. But if he decided to abstain for a year, after 2 months he could think, "I managed to do it for 2 months, I think I can  try and do it for 10 months more." Unfortunately for many gamblers this "never" often in reality means one week.

What do you mean by provided one year gambling vacation? You want them to not to gamble for one year instead of using self-exclusion?

I don't understand what difference that it makes, anyway, one who is already addicted can't possibly stay away from gambling and even if they want they still can't that is why we call them addicts.

You can lock them in a room for a year if you want them to stop.

When aiming at one year, it will give a specific objective as opposed to the permanent abstinence. Quantifiable time limit increases the mental health of some people. Nevertheless, radical addictions can only be cured by complete abstinence so as to avoid relapse. The most common recommendation of psychologist is total abstinence with long term recovery as a means of helping to overcome the craving, yet there are people who set personal goals and believe it can allow them to overcome the craving.

As long as they have access to the casino, they have the opportunity to visit at any time to gamble. Therefore, a self-exclusion method is in place to let them know that they cannot gamble there for a specified period of time, as agreed. I believe this method can be effective as long as they are committed and truly exclude themselves from all forms of gambling. However, if they stop gambling for a year and completely abstain from gambling, they can be considered successful. However, if they start again the next time, it doesn't necessarily mean they'll be interested.

Problem gamblers cannot control themselves, so they need the casino to block their account. If you believe that someone who is addicted to gambling can simply take a one year self-imposed break, then you must be tripping. If the person has that much control of themselves, then they would not be a problem gamber.

Some casinos also offer self-exclusion for a certain period of time, it does not have to be permanent. So people can also select that option if it is available in the casino that they play in.

[Zlantann]

You are right to say that, why quit it right? But in fact, getting rid of addiction is not easy in a person it needs to be done gradually and slowly in order to avoid addiction well, therefore an addict who isolates himself will not easily quit that fast, so the solution is to take a temporary leave or a long break if the goal is to quit this is enough to help a person get out of addiction slowly.

Gambling could be replaced with another form of entertainment within that one year. If an addict could successfully take a one-year break and build an interest in something else, he might not return to gambling again. Gambling addiction, like other forms, is difficult to overcome, but with determination, it is possible. Addiction has caused harm in the lives of many people, so no sacrifice will be too much to pay to overcome it.

There was a time I was always attracted to a physical betting shop. I don't know why I had so much interest in that specific one. I discovered that when I moved out of that location my gambling habit came under control. One can decide to take certain steps in the course of the self imposed break.

If you're considering stopping gambling because you feel like you're out of control, then it's probably best to just rule out returning entirely because otherwise your mind will not properly clear and you'll just be counting back the days until "freedom" again. If you spent too much money, devoted too much time or it's having other harmful effects on your lifestyle - just leave it. You only live once and don't be that person who regrets doing too much of something that doesn't really have positive outcomes most of the time. Find other things to do which can fill your time and inject some variety into your life, by the time the year is up you'll probably never want to return again after all.

I don’t really know if that can present a solution to gambling addiction, so you will never know what will make someone not be addicted with gambling, I think everything has to do with a personal decision, if you want to stop gambling addiction you can as well work on yourself, and I believe all gambling platforms tells everyone to gamble responsibly, going one year vacation from gambling might not really be a solution to anything right now instead I believe that learning how to gamble responsibly is the best thing to do, but all of this is easier said and done but can be done with disciplined.

[Orpichukwu]

Even those who apply for self-exclusion in some casinos don't honour their decision; they could easily apply for it to be lifted. It's not about the option, but it's the person's decision to actually keep themself from gambling if they see it having a negative effect on them. If they can take a year break and it will reflect in their gambling habit, they should. Some can take a break, and immediately they go back to gambling; they can easily lose control.

[Agbamoni]

Its a good point, but its easier said than done, as many gamblers are too addicted to the game, as they can't easily let go or  self-exclusion themselves  for a day, talk more of a year. Its only people who are responsible and discipline will be able to main that long term without gambling, because they know that gambling is not giving or adding any thing useful to their lives, and they know stepping away will be the best decision they made, as they won't have to battle themselves emotionally and financially.

It wont reduce addiction. An addicted gambler is like a dog that can't do without a bone. If you take it far from the bone for a long period of time, it will surely come back to the bone once he is released from the cage. Sorry for the long proverb, but in reality, someone who is addicted will return to addiction even if they are taken away from anything gambling for two years. Addiction grows deep like a tree. If the root is not uprooted, it will grow again because there is still some trace of it inside.

[AmaGold70]

It is never a compulsory thing to gamble everyday, and when you take some break, it will definitely give you some relief. If we can gap the days we bet , it will be difficult to get addicted. While taking break for a space of one year may be difficult for many gamblers, it is necessary to have some break as a gambler. Addiction in gambling comes as a result persistent gambling, and persistence in gambling does not guarantee profit, and from experience, the more you gamble, the more likelihood of loosing your bet. For instance, when you experience long term losses, you need some break in other to reduce mental stress, and get your brain refreshed, otherwise you continue experiencing more losses.

In my estimations, there is no difference between the one year gap and self-exclusion. We have read of people who self-excluded in one casino and didn't on another. Everything boils down to discipline and seeking help. If a person is struggling with gambling addiction, you have to seek for help through the various channels that are available. Not seeking for help and trying to self-exclude or take a break will end in failure. When you are taking a break, you need to be actively involved in another thing that would take your mind away from gambling or any of its triggers.

It is very difficult to recover completely from gambling addiction, addiction gradually destroys the life of a gambler. I think that to completely free oneself from addiction, the gambler must first try to get better mentally, besides, one must be under treatment for a long time and must stay away from gambling for a long time and keep oneself away from all those who can become addicted, but the mentality of the gambler plays a very big role in coming out of addiction. It is always good to be aware and keep oneself away from all the things that can become addictive.

I don’t really know if that can present a solution to gambling addiction, so you will never know what will make someone not be addicted with gambling, I think everything has to do with a personal decision, if you want to stop gambling addiction you can as well work on yourself,

Actually, if a gambler want's to stop a gambling addiction, it has to discipline itself by knowing a specific amount that it will allocate for gambling, weekly or monthly..if you have a such discipline budget, you will control your gambling addiction...

Secondly, if a gambler engage itself in activity that will consume it time, it will not have a time space to associate itself in gambling..the most of the things that causes a gambling addict, is when you're jobless and you depends on gambling to survive...

and I believe all gambling platforms tells everyone to gamble responsibly, going one year vacation from gambling might not really be a solution to anything right now instead I believe that learning how to gamble responsibly is the best thing to do, but all of this is easier said and done but can be done with disciplined.

Not everyone gambler that have the chance read the stanza a gambling platform outlined that every gambler should gamble responsibly...Sometimes what makes gamblers to be addicted in gambling is high expectations and greediness, secondly praying to recover what they have lost in gambling....And once a gambler is interested to recover what it has lost in gambling, the more it enters deeps to be addicted....

For someone who has been involved in the world of gambling for a long time, this is not an easy thing to do, let alone a year, even stopping for just one month feels incredibly unsettling.

Honestly, the desire to cut back on gambling sessions is definitely there and it’s not uncommon to even think about quitting, especially right after a loss. However, as soon as you have money again, you inevitably go back to gambling. This pattern repeats itself until it becomes a habit that’s hard to break.

Your point is good but it is not that easy. For someone who just start gambling and after one loss he did self exclusion then it is possible but for someone who is chasing the losses tells himself that the next one will hit . Making new strategies like he figures out the market or i know many peoples that did gamble for there needs . Even some peoples thinks they became wealthy from gambling. Then for that type of person self exclusion is impossible because they dont want to quit gamble . Because during gamble when the target hits many emotions spike like happiness excitement or euphoria even relief when loss recovers and that buzz hits different . A perfect example of instagram many peoples even me and my friends we applied timer like if we scroll more then 30 minutes daily the app automatically closed for 24 hours . Many of my friends opens that timer but when 30 minutes completed i see many peoples who closed the timer and s again tart watching reels . So may be self exclusion works for beginner but when someone who is addicted to gamble for him that self exclusion is very challenging. 

[coinlary]

Yes it may reduce but It won't  stop anything and could even become worse when after some months of resumption.
Unless they decide to force force themselves to do the right thing or they stop gambling entirely.  

BTW, I don't think an addict can survive on one year self-forced vacation lol . Well, it could be possible  but I doubt it.  Not engaging in any gambling activities will only last  at most 3 weeks, they will definitely visit  one.

[Bright0515]

As an addicted gambler, going for a vacation won't always help because it can't stop you from gambling, imagine a scenario whereby you didn't exclude yourself from gamble and you went for a vacation, there's a higher chance that you will continue gambling there (online) as you didn't exclude yourself from online gambling.
Going for a vacation doesn't even guarantee an addict gambler to stop or limit them from gambling because there's a higher chance that they might continue gambling immediately they start gambling again, so long as they still feel emotional while when they lose their bet, they might still remain addicts after going for a vacation.

[Versatile_choice]

Giving a 1year gap before you gamble will not totally eradicate how you have always felt while gambling, because the most important thing here is been able to have control of yourself while gambling. Because it is very true that you may have a 1 or 2 years gap for it, and when you start gambling over again, you might start gambling with your usual gambling style, simply because you never adjusted to it but only the duration. So to me, imposing a temporal 1year vacation will not solve the problem of an addictive lifestyle.

You might be right when you said 1 year vacation will not solve the problem but it all depends on gambler, yes for most gamblers even if they impose a temporal 1 year vacation after the vacation they will still continue from where they stopped in some cases it might even get worse than it was earlier before the vacation. While some gamblers will look for a way to make adjustments so it all depends on gamblers, but the truth is that those who are deeply addicted to gamble will not change even though it's two years temporal vacation when the vacation ends they will still go back to that same lifestyle.

In my opinion, I think this could work for a lot of people, I think even the therapist would suggest for an addict to take a long break from gambling which is going to help them self realize their mistakes and also probably learn how to do it better if they are to go back into gambling again.  Another thing is that people can actually have different response to some strategy like this, is not everyone that can actually be able to give gambling a one year gap but it sure will help.
