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

[EluguHcman]

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.

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

No, I don't think that an addicted gambler would even be able to notice that he/she is addicted to gambling and when someone isn't sure about addiction then quitting it doesn't makes any sense.

Counseling and someone's help is highly needed to help the addict recover from the addiction. That someone can be a friend, or one of your loved ones but his/her help will be needed for the recovery of an addict.

Some gambling addicts have so severe levels of addiction that it would be a pretty tough job for even those helpers to help in recovery and in such cases a rehab center is the only place where such gambling addicts can get treated.

Yes, an addicted gambler can help him self to minimize or stop gambling if only he/she realized that they are too addicted and has lost more to gambling than profiting from it.
Doe its quite difficult for someone to quit an addiction or habit, but if you've learnt it the hard way, I think you can quit or reduce it, and its not just a one day thing, but continuos effort to stop it will definitely improve their chances of doing it.

Many people moderate themselves into quiting smoking. Why cant they do it in gambling addiction?

All it needs is a motivation to do it and has plans for his future.

[Crwth]

I think this is not just gambling but also in all aspects of life that give of the same vibe, like trading.

Anyway, if someone is addicted, it's not going to be an easy road for him but I think it would be possible but it has a low chance. Having to choose to not gamble would be hard for an addict. It would always lead to gambling. What someone needs is outside factors which other things can give but it's still up to the person to completely change. It's all about willpower.

A gambling addict can stop or correct his gambling addiction on his own.  It is a different matter if a gambler is extra greedy and if after gambling profit he keeps gambling bets in the hope of getting something extra.  But if a gambler prepares mentally and decides that he will not involve himself in gambling then he can definitely prevent himself from the terrible addiction of gambling and prepare himself to take the right decision.

I think that a better expression would be that they can try to break with their addiction, but unfortunately the percentage of those who succeed is not very significant. Of course, the difficulty of quitting depends on how long someone has been gambling and whether they have the support of people around them - those who have been in it for too long and have no one's support will find it very difficult to break the addiction on their own.

After all, there wouldn't be so many specialized rehab clinics in the world if it was so easy to quit on your own.

This is very hard to do unless you have some help, this is true for all addictions.
If someone has a very strong will to quit than this could be a positive thing but he needs to do it in early stages, until it becomes to late.
When starting to drink alcohol or gambling it is easy to stop yourself, but it is very hard when it becomes a habit and passion.

[Agbe]

It is very hard for ab addicted gambler to stop gambling by himself. Unless people talk to him the disadvantages of being addicted to gambling. And addiction comes  in different ways. There are sometimes it comes as aggressive to chase the lose as your said op. Then peer play as challenge or bet and the hunger to win big one day. And the best way for an addicted gambler to stop is counseling everyday and also he has to help himself to stop if really he wants to. But to stopped himself with s not possible.

No and never , though maybe there is some big things that happened to change them from addiction but this is truly a rare occasion that an addict can just change like that, there must be something or someone that come along the way that made them decide and act to leave gambling.,
because at my age now and for how much I know gambling? there is a tin chances that addict can just change with no one helping them.

I totally agree, I would rather talk about percentages. Someone who has problems with gambling, but has only been doing it for a short time, and when faced with a punctual event of losing a lot of money, considers quitting for himself, I think he is much more likely to succeed than someone who has been doing it for many years with problematic behavior in that sense.

After all, there wouldn't be so many specialized rehab clinics in the world if it was so easy to quit on your own.

And the bad thing is that there are many people who, even after completing a rehabilitation program, end up relapsing.

An addicted gambling can stop by him self only when if start losing more than making profits, this is because is mindset is bet on recovery all he lost then ended up losing all he got. This is called aggressive staking.

This is also true, because even after rehabilitation, many people find themselves alone again and very easily start the same path again. What I didn't mention is that many who need help can't actually get it because such centers are usually private and quite expensive.

There is also a very large discrimination in society towards such people in relation to their social class - because those who are in the lower classes and have some kind of addiction are mostly presented as a problem, while the rich have a way of keeping it away from the public or that the same public has some insane sympathy for their problem.

I can attest to say such happens where an addicted one fights out his addictive endivoirs but I do not believe it is practically possible for someone to realize that his endivoirs are being addicted by his actions. This is usually hard to be realized by oneself and even if by means a gambler or such an additive smoker could successfully stop with their additions somedays, I believe it is usually inspired and aspired by someone else.
Who will always be that one person behind encouraging the addicted one to quit or minimize their endivoirs.

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.
