Can an addicted gambler help his gambling addictions all by himself?

Aside counselings, can an addicted gambler ever moderate himself all by himself to quit or limit his gambling addictions?

Well, the answer is yes, an addicted gambler can actually help him or herself come out from his or her gambling addiction, but this is if the addiction is still at its very light to moderate stage, that is, if the addiction hasnt eaten deep into the gambler's system or brains.

Like I would always say, there are different levels of and to addiction in general, not just gambling addiction alone, so, for a gambler who is just getting addicted to gambling, it's actually very easy for such a person to around and free him or herself if and when he or she realizes that he or she is beginning to gamble way too much than as it is considered normal.

But for the person whom the addiction has eaten deep into, it's almost not not impossible for such a person to help him or herself without some form of external help.

I would agree with you in this argument that to some point, a gambler who is addicted at the early stage could be able to help himself or herself from gambling because at that stage, one can control themselves from gambling, and when that is just their beginning but a full-blown-addicted gambler would need someone to always guide them through the process for their consciousness to be awakened and for them to know that they are on a therapy to stop their gambling addiction for their own good.

Gambling addictions is caused by aggressive stakes which the gambler needed to recover back his lost and then he may decide to quit or stop chasing after profits but while on the context he would always keep up loosing.
His grieves of unrecoverables would always justify his action at the points of aggrieve ness.

For me, there are stages of addictions. And quitting is not always as easy at it seems. And even you quit, you can relapse and mess with your efforts and come back again.
Every person is unique. And some might quit through counseling, peer intervention, or just lost everything. But for some, it might not work at all. Some might hit the rock bottom, but keeps on gambling. Some might take loans or worse steal. But like i said, not all but for some, there will be always a point that will open your eyes and tells you to stop. I've been there, and i almost lost my job, deep in debt and it opened my eye. That in gambling, losing is certain and winning is a probability.

Yes, an addicted gambler can help himself. If an addicted gambler is not ready to overcome his addiction, no individual can help him. Remember heaven help those who help themselves. The first step to overcoming gambling addiction must start with the addict. An addicted gambler must acknowledge that there's a problem with his gambling. This involves being honest with himself about the negative impact gambling is having on his life. When this is accepted then he can seek other means to help himself. This might involve setting goals for reducing or stopping gambling.

That's not how curing addiction works counselling from professionals are just a way to convince the gambler to undergo treatment and to give the gambler on the overall assessment of his addiction.

The gambler will eventually or intentionally forget the word of advice he will continue to gamble and will just realize all these advice when he lose a lot of money.

I don't think so. An addicted gambler cannot help himself to recover. Most addicted gamblers are not even aware that they are into problem gambling and so it takes a third party to help them heal completely. Just as a blind person needs people around him so it is with an addicted gambler. He needs support groups to help him.

That is right. An addicted gambler will never get rid of addiction by himself. Because he isnt able to look on the situation from side, from different angle. How can he tell himself that he is cured? If he wasnt disciplined enough at first place and become addicted, how can he be disciplined enough to say he is cured? A maximum what he can achieve on his own is a pause.

In fact, if you look at it from one side, the gambler has to try himself to get rid of gambling addiction, if no changes come from inside him, then no matter how big the counseling of psychologists outside, his addiction will not be freed. So I think if a gambler has an honest desire to get rid of his addiction and acts accordingly like he is tempted to stop gambling and maintain his self control then I think a gambler is himself.  That alone is enough to moderate gambling addiction.

I think it is still possible for a gambling addict to recover without the help of other people, as long as their level of addiction is still low. But they have to realize that they already have that addiction.

It's difficult, but when there is a drive within them to be able to stop or at least want to reduce gambling, I think they will be able to do it. However, this also takes time, because what I have seen is that the process by which they realize this takes a long time.

Well gambling addiction is not something that can be easily stopped expecially by one self, for an individual to stop the addiction of gambling alone without any one help . Such individual must try all means to reduce how often he gamble, like by engaging himself with other activities that would get his mind at of gambling for sometime. And should hangout with his love ones alot that would also help to get one mind out of it . And also try meditating . But if one see that there's no pregress in doing it alone ( stopping the addiction) he or she should seek for support from others.

I think it's possible but it's definitely going to be one of the hardest challenge that he or she must have given himself because I believe it's not easy to make that decision that will financially stable , so many gamblers have had their time and chances cut down because of the wrong choices they took but only a few come back to the realization of the action being rock and fewer gamblers make and keep that strict policy that helps them stop the act.

actually we can do better for them but we can use force , I mean we can bring them into a place where they cannot access gambling and wil divert their interest into other part of living.
also  we can give them knowledge what have they lose from those days of gambling addiction to realized what they can do better instead.

Depends on the gambler. The possibility for this to happen can only be achieved if the gambler himself decides to quit his gambling addiction. Having a full decision and realization that being addicted to gambling greatly affects not only his life but also his family can be one of his inspirations to quit and be enough reason to make this happen.

The same as article I have read before, states that it is possible with their own way to overcome their addiction. By focusing on some other things where all the time will be occupied. In this way, they will never have an opportunity to gamble even if they want to.

Again, this is only possible if the gambler himself decides to overcome his addiction. There's no way of overcoming this if he, himself, will not make the first move.

How to determine low or high level of addiction? For me it is either a person is addicted or not. Why I insist that it is impossible to get rid of addiction on your own? Because a person would never do anything harmful or bad for himself. Gambling for him is a joy, fun, something positive or good. Not a single person in clear mind would refuse that. It is like refusing a large ice cream in sunny day for lunch. You understand that it isnt food (just a snack), its calories, its wont help much, but you still eat it.

Overcoming addiction to gambling, often requires recognizing the problem, a desire to change, and seeking help. While self-recovery is possible, external support from friends, family, or professionals enhances the success rate.
Setting strict time and money limits, and adhering to them, can help maintain balance.

Exactly, you hitted the bottom line. It is so critical to be submitted in quitting to gamble as an addicted.
Quiting gambling at when addicted can be something easier said than to do because you might be delighted somedays to quit and possibly, you succeeded to but  behold, you only had the gamble board s break in either a long or short period of time because at most intervals, you would always return back gambling.
Some addicted gamblers too are in communication with their personalities where the addicted gambler has to question itself and be the judge by himself whereas, he would be found guilty of irresponsibilities being upon himself by himself and then, he could be furthered encouraged to let it all go and there after he could become a free man from his addiction
