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

[ajiz138]

From what I see in my environment, it is not that they don't get help from other people to make them aware that what they are doing has gone beyond the limits, but they have not been able to realize this, so the advice that comes to them also cannot be accepted. well.

As I said before, they must first realize and accept that they already have bad habits from their gambling activities. So it becomes difficult to bring them to their senses even though there is a lot of help coming to them.

When a mind is made of making money from gambling, any other secondary advices becomes useless, that's why the addicted gamblers that you see that they hardly accept advice, it's not about the environment alone, their own mindset has been made of making money, anything that comes later is none or their business.

Addiction is a big challenge for many gamblers, you can change them unless they are ready to change for good, if they don't change there is nothing an individual can do to help them.

Yes, of course this is something that will return to their mindset as gamblers. Do they consider gambling as a "job" that can bring them money, or do they just use gambling as a place to have fun?

So the consequences are also different when they consider gambling as a place to make a profit, because they will be out of control and will later turn them into gambling addicts. They must be able to realize things like this themselves, because this is their decision.

You're right,
How a gambler chooses to approach gambling plays a very vital role on how gambling affects the person, whether positive or negative.
That's whyany people gamble but the effect of gambling I'm their lives are often different from person to person, and this is because of each person chooses to consider and approach gambling.

When a person considers gambling as a way to have fun and relieve stress,it's often quite difficult for them to get addicted and experience terrible losses, because whether they lose or win, they've still had a share of the fun but it's quite different from those who consider gambling as a source of income( especially those without the required experience and facilities). You'll observe that these people are often more interested in the outcome of the game and when you become too attached to the outcome, your emotions start getting entangled and you gradually start losing control along the line.

Sometimes it is very difficult for a person who is immersed in gambling addiction to get out of it, because practically things can get out of control when they are playing, if a person does not have sufficient self-control, they do not have control of their money. Well, it is difficult, because it may happen that when they are looking for a way to control themselves, they want to earn more money, or recover the money that they have invested previously and that they have lost, that is something that we have to see clearly, of course, If we see it from that point of view, it can be said that when we are looking for another way of seeing things because those who control only their money will be more successful and thus can gradually alleviate the addiction.

It is very difficult for an addicted gambler to recover from his gambling addiction by himself. He will need advice from a professional psychologist/doctor to guide him properly. In this way he can reverse his gambling addiction. His will and determination are also needed.

Yes, it will be difficult when someone wants to get out of their addiction zone, because it requires real intention to stop. This is also done through processes, such as reducing the intensity of the gambling they do, for example.

As long as they have money to play with, the urge to gamble will always be there and that is where they must be able to control themselves as best as possible so as not to follow the urge to gamble.

As I have said on many occasions, for me it is much better that one but you start doing protection and that way you get out of the addiction, because exercise helps a lot to clear the person of anxious thoughts, the body gets tired, it needs to rest afterwards and that is beneficial, so in this order of ideas I think that it is a very healthy way to get out of the addiction , of course it is not that it comes out at once but little by little, of course this is something that we must see, but the The idea is to get rid of the addiction in the most economical way possible. This is one way, or the other is to have a job that takes up most of the day. The idea is to reach the very tired person who wants to sleep, tiring the body is better.

[Agbe]

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.

Getting help isn't the only thing that would solve the problem, quitting an addiction takes a certain level of will power and discipline, you could go for therapy or be registered in a rehab whatever the case maybe, all these are just to put you in check the real change must start from you as a person, you must always remind yourself of the PTSDs you got from the addiction, those constant reminders should make you always flee from it no matter how tempted you are to go back

I am with you on this one. Only the combination of these can do wonders. Otherwise, the situation won't go in the needed direction.

Just like any addiction, I think the person can stop suddenly without the help of others. As in my case, during the height of the pandemic, I suddenly quit smoking in 2021. I have been smoking as a I kid but suddenly in November 2021, and I was afraid that I might get covid-19 and be another statistics, one morning, when I wake up, I just don't want to smoke. My wife still does smoke up to this time, and before he is the one urging me to quit now it's the other way around.

And same for gambling, I lost my job in 2015 and so there is no income for me to gamble. So I also quit in a snap and was able to gamble only in at the end of 2017 or early 2018 when I got a stable and good paying job. Now, I still gamble, but not like before wherein I will go on land base casinos and just go and waste all my money.

Totally depends on a certain individual on which we know do know that there are really people who are really that good when it comes to self control and this is why it would really be that important that on the moment that you would really be that dealing up with gambling then you should really know the risks when it  comes to addiction because on the moment that you do make yourself not be wary about into those probabilities then better you do not gamble at all. It is really just that for the sake of fun and if you dont like losing money
then gambling isnt for you. This is the primary reason on why people do really fail on quitting or stopping. They do tend to chase up loses or simply they cant be able to control up greed.

[libert19]

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

I definitely think so, when there is there is strong will to do anything from oneself, no feat is unachievable.

Also I'm of opinion that no counselings can help if one has no willingness to help himself.

Absolutely True. There is no addiction treatment center in the world where a person can get better after taking treatment. It does not take time to get rid of any major addiction if you make your own efforts. Gambling addiction and drug addiction are not the same but have some similarities. I can guess from a drug addicted man that it is never possible to do without your own efforts. I know someone who was repeatedly committed to rehab for addiction but after a long he started doing it again the second day he was released. Getting rid of addiction is never possible without own efforts.

Getting out of gambling addiction is undoubtedly a very difficult task. It is very important for a gambler to have good judgment and strong willpower. The amount of gambling should be reduced gradually, and the gambling addiction should be reduced gradually, because you cannot suddenly get out of gambling, so you have to give up the addiction gradually. As long as you have money, the addiction to gambling will continue to grow, and a gambler must control this addiction. A gambler has to strengthen will power, and try to gamble with any fixed amount and never go beyond the fixed amount. And try to reduce that amount every day. You have to strengthen your will power and believe that you can get out of gambling, after then a gambler can get out of it someday.

Same for addicted to nicotine, its hard to get out of it especially if its easy to buy a pack of cigarettes when you are in the right age.

Now that betting and playing in casino is right on our palms, its a heaven for gamblers who can play just about anywhere. And the bonuses that a user get that they sometimes doesnt need to deposit. Getting the addiction out of the system is an uphill battle.

Honestly I consider getting rid of bad habit gradually kind of excuse, if you want to stop doing something, you just do it, in an instant.

There are definitely exceptions in some addictions, one being drug addiction, but IMO gambling addiction is something that can be thrown overboard in an instant, it just requires immense willpower.
