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

[ScamViruS]

For me yes. It is because we can only help ourselvessince we all know that we are the only one who knows the root cause of our addiction. By assessing ourselves we can figure out what is the best thing to do and what not. Though third party intervention is common but it should start with ourselves. If we are part of the problem then probably we are also part of the solution.

Believing in yourself is the only way to get out of any addiction. But once someone gets addicted to something, it becomes very difficult for him to get out of it. But willpower is the most important to break any addiction, because only a gambler knows what he is capable of and how mentally tough he can push himself.Everyone has their own way of thinking, so one can try to control oneself as much as one can, but at times one may fail but one should not give up.

In order for an addicted gambler to help himself, he must have a certain willpower and motivation. I forced myself to give up excessive gambling because it took up a lot of energy and time, but it was not easy. I constantly felt like I was about to hit the jackpot, but this only led to a deeper problem.

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

For heavy addiction or serious addiction, it is difficult to expect the gambler to recover by himself. Logically, the gambler won't be addicted if they know how to limit his gambling activities. Someone becomes addicted because he failed to limit his gambling habit, he did it excessively. So, in this case, he needs his close people to help him. And he probably needs experts or doctors to give special treatments.

If he has fallen into gambling addiction, it will be very difficult for him to recover on his own. Or to really come back to your senses and not be addicted to gambling anymore. The percentage is very small. And this seems quite impossible, unless he has not yet entered a real addiction situation.

Because of the nature of addiction, don't even think about stopping or getting better, if you don't do it, you can become very stressed and depressed. This has really affected his mental and psychological condition. So, to recover, he usually needs help from other parties. Whether it is someone closest to you, a friend, or even a professional who is designed to help someone get out of an addiction situation.

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.

A man can make any impossible task possible if he wants to. Here a person must succeed in recovering himself from gambling addiction if he goes ahead with his willpower. But a person can never recover from his gambling addiction if he doesn't want to. All the gambling addicts we see around us who can't recover from gambling addiction are basically not trying on their own. If they had tried themselves, they would surely have been able to get themselves out of addiction and create a better life.

Every addicted gambler makes the mistake of losing a gambling game and then managing the money anyway, and somehow managing the money, they gamble again. Gambling is losing money and they realize that it is wrong for them but still they cannot come out of that mistake. When he gambles and loses money he becomes more excited and more excited he gambles with more money resulting in him losing money again. There are many differences between an addict and a normal gambler. A normal gambler will never make the same gambling decisions as an addicted gambler. He always thinks and thinks about what might happen next and then makes a decision, which is why normal people are generally less likely to make these decisions than addicts.

I think it will depend on some factors:
1. The amount of losses - The higher the loss that he got, the more depressing it is to the gambler especially if he's just an average gambler. It will be more depressing if those money will be used for something important like paying bills, or buying medicine, etc.
2. The reaction - It's kind of connected to the first one, but his reaction to his losses will determine whether he can help himself in times where he's at its lowest, or he will be needing the help of other people.

These 2 are I think factors whether a gambler will need help from others or not, but most of the gamblers are seeking help to other people because they can't do it by themselves. Addiction got them really bad that they can't prevent it only by themselves. Quitting in gambling is like quitting in your vices. It's hard but doable and sometimes, you need help from other people.

The lack or the absent of a capital may force a gambling addict to quit gambling for a short while but if he find way to get some money then i think he will be back at it again. For me, rehabilitation or counseling is the best way to treat an addict and this needs strong family support.

But it is still depending on the gambler. Even if we assume that due to the reason of having no capital to start gambling, is why he ends up quitting gambling, if he decides to quit it is still possible if he insists on helping himself. Initiating to stop gambling all by himself is possible by taking the initiative to start looking for ways and of course, some family or close friends, to at least have a conversation with the gambler. Having a conversation can help to have a realization and also to kill some time and forget about the gambling activities until it becomes a routine.

When a gambler learns to love his money and himself, he will surely be able to get out of the addiction. Everything has to be thought for oneself, the money is exclusively my own and if we lose that money by gambling like this, then we should think in advance what will happen to us later. Once you get addicted it is difficult to get out of that addiction but people can do anything if they try. Doctors always say one thing that the patient's self-confidence and recovery will make the patient half-healed, if an addict wants to, he can get out of this addiction.

An addicted gambler never wants to quit gambling. Because the amount of money he has spent on gambling, he will try to bring that amount from gambling. But through this thought he will be involved in gambling. If someone else informs him about the addiction and shows its negative aspects in front of him, then that person can get remove his addiction. An addict does not escape addiction because he does not realize that he is addicted. When he is influenced by another person, he can become aware of his addiction and get rid of it.

Realizing that gambling makes life more negative and feeling the need to find a way out is the first step to quitting gambling.
However, addicts often get stuck in a stage of denial. They know it's bad, but they want to do it anyway.
Distracting by finding other, healthier activities and always trying to avoid high-risk situations are tricks you can use to manipulate yourself and your mind away from the urge to gamble.

I can attest to this. While I'm not addicted to gambling, I have a family member who has an addiction to something else. It is not as bad as gambling addiction or any destructive behavior though, but they can feel the urge to do that activity quite often which can affect their health. One of them needs to drink coffee every morning, and if she doesn't she gets a terrible headache. Fortunately, with diet and physical activity, she doesn't have to drink as often anymore. One thing I realize though, she finds it easier to change her habit whenever someone reminds her or watches out for her. The same can be said for another member of my family who likes to smoke a lot.

Most time gambling addiction is generated from the habit of regular gambling, with the urge of wanting to win more or trying to recover that he has loss through gambling. It is possible for a gambler addict to help his gambling addiction mostly when he haven't gotten too dip in it . Because he may get to point when he can not fight the gambling addiction all by himself but by the help of his loves ones or therapist. And such individual may need to focus in other activities apart from gambling like hanging out with friends, doing all forms of exercise and others. To get their minds of gambling for a while.

Gamblers can recover from their addiction on their own, but this is rare. There are some gamblers who forcefully retire from gambling after losing their assets. But as long as a gambler has wealth and is addicted, he can never recover from that addiction. There are also some gamblers who do not claim to be addicted because they do not realize that they are addicted. To be free from addiction, the person must follow the advice of others. Not only can the other person play too much role here, but also one's own effort is needed.
