The Madness of Gambling Addicts.

[Makus]

To be free from gambling addiction, one must stop gambling. But not everyone can give up gambling because many people enjoy gambling. Therefore, it is important to learn how to manage gambling to keep gambling under control. If we ask to quit gambling it is not a solution. Controlled gambling can be effective in this concern.

Sounds easy when said but very difficult when implemented
While this concept seems good in theory, its practical application often proves challenging.
And it's important to remember that not everything we like is good for us, and not everything we dislike is bad for us.
However, your body is your rule, the ultimate authority on what is good for it and what is not is yourself.

Absolutely correct mate, gambling addiction isn't something you wake up in the morning and decide to quit, it takes process and at first it might seem impossible because you mind has already synchronised with the thought of addiction but consistency in remembering you goals keeps you focus on achieving it. Sometimes our mistakes are what really moulds our thinking and mentality almost all gamblers at some point begin to feel addicted by making some irresponsible decisions, it's fine to make bad decisions in life but the greatest flex is learning from them and keeping far from attempting those mistakes.

Addiction can never be good be it gambling addiction or drug addiction. Any addiction can cause a person to lose control of himself. To be free from gambling addiction, one must stop gambling. But not everyone can give up gambling because many people enjoy gambling. Therefore, it is important to learn how to manage gambling to keep gambling under control. If we ask to quit gambling it is not a solution. Controlled gambling can be effective in this concern.

True, addiction in whatever area or dimension is a disorder. As soon as a person is addicted he loses the power to control himself and become controlled by his addiction. For instance, an addicted gambler will hurt himself by trying to satisfy his gambling urge and then vow never to gamble again but in the next minutes he is on his way to gamble or opening his online app to gamble. This is so because he is controlled by his addiction.

Addiction is difficult to overcome regardless of the individual. All addicted gambler is facing challenges trying to quit gambling. This is why it is best to be guided against addiction than trying to overcome it. All gamblers should understand moderation and avoid gambling with greed. Don't gamble hoping to become wealthy overnight. Such intention will certainly create problems for the gambler.

Addiction is even more problematic than we think it is. Only an addict understands the difficulties he faces. Sometimes we believe the addict has control over himself, but he does not. He will continue to gamble because he lacks discipline. Once a gambler is addicted, he loses control of his gambling behavior. Let us put it this way: if a blind man is allowed to walk, he will undoubtedly face danger unless he has additional support. This is true for addiction; unless an addict is helped to overcome his addiction, he will continue to struggle because he has lost the ability to discipline himself.

Addiction is very bad and I don't think that it is easy for an addicted gambler to overcome his addiction at once, because it has eaten deep into his mentality. The only thing the addict knows is to gamble with whatever he can lay his hands on. This is why anyway in which a gambler can prevent himself from being addicted should be done. Imagine that you have your senses but you don't have control over it because you are being controlled by dopamine.

An addicted gambler will go to great lengths to gamble, such as borrowing money or selling property. That's how bad it is. To him, his existence is predicated on gambling, which is why he is not content until he has lost everything within his grasp at the time and then regrets his actions. Only for him to begin looking for ways to accumulate funds in order to begin another gambling session.

I agree with you. An addicted gambler has senses, but they are dysfunctional because he has lost all sense of rationality. This is why social media and our society are inundated with the wrongdoings of addicted gamblers. Thus, there should be a crusade to educate gamblers about the importance of not becoming addicted.

You are right, they become unable to think healthily which in the end makes them continue to follow their ambition to continue gambling, and this has a bad impact on themselves.

The problem that is happening now is that gambling has become something very commonplace, how I see almost every gathering there is someone gambling. And that indirectly introduces and maybe will make other people interested and in the end they will also gamble.

The issue with influencers is very complicated because basically when it comes to attracting an audience they show what people want to see, what people want to do, for example make money, everyone is looking to make money, and when a person sees that it can be profitable in a game, or in games of chance with their bets, that obviously draws attention because everyone says that it is possible and that what they have had is bad luck, that is why for this type of things you have to be very careful when it comes to spending money, and the main thing is that, taking care of your money because there is nothing more important in any Casino.

Previous weekend I was abroad, spend some time on a crowded street filled with restaurants, cafe's and claw machine, shooting range, plinko (machine were you throw coins) and things like that. Noticed that I am not very addictive to such kind of gambling. I have made around 5 attempts to get a plushie toy, failed all of them and nothing triggered me to continue. However, such place was always crowded with people. Touristic street. Their money turnover must be unbelievable. But, I have noticed, when people won a prize, they dont continue gambling there.

I have read many stories about how hard it is for relatives of gamblers to live next to those who could not cope with their addiction and began to ruin the lives of others. At the same time, trust is broken, money is spent on casinos, and not on family needs, and this is terrible.
Therefore, my main conclusion is this: gambling is not dangerous for the whole society, but it is very destructive for those who are friends or family of an addicted gambler. And I feel sorry for such people, I hope they will always overcome the circumstances.

Gambling is not inherently bad. The gambler determines whether gambling is good or bad. When a gambler becomes addicted, it affects his entire family. If he is a dependant, he is likely to steal to satisfy his gambling addiction. If this dependant is a student, he is more likely to gamble with money intended for his education, which will cause problems for his parents.

Similarly, where people rely on the gambler, this becomes a problem because funds that should be used for the family are diverted to gambling, and neglecting his home becomes unavoidable. Cases like this are why some societies frown on gambling, which eventually becomes a societal problem.

not only will it cause problems for his parents, it will most likely ruin his future of course i am not saying that if you fall into addiction there is no more hope for you however by getting into an addiction you are making your life harder than necessary and you are causing yourself to suffer for only temporary happiness

Cases like this are why some societies frown on gambling, which eventually becomes a societal problem.

society thinks that it is unavoidable if you gamble once you’ll fall into addiction is what their mindset it but i have met many who were able to walk away from gambling before losing too much

I think that no matter how much we would like to believe that we come to gambling to play only for emotions, but greed takes hold of each of us and it is impossible to avoid it. Of course, a lot is written here about self-control, but it is harder than it seems. Imagine: each of us has dreams that are not destined to come true because they require a lot of money. But a sudden win at the casino can make each of us look at this win and understand that his dream has become reality! And of course, then any person will become much more important, because he will understand that here and now he has the power to change his destiny thanks to the casino.

I can relate to this one because we have a neighbor that's pretty much addicted to gambling. It affected his relationship with his daughters, his wife and even his own family. Right now, he's nowhere to be found now (and I don't know if he's still alive), but I would say that gambling addiction really can ruin ones life and he's the best example of it.

Therefore, my main conclusion is this: gambling is not dangerous for the whole society, but it is very destructive for those who are friends or family of an addicted gambler. And I feel sorry for such people, I hope they will always overcome the circumstances.

Gambling is only a tool. The effects of it to the person is what makes it dangerous. Gambling can change a person negatively and can destroy lives in an instant. An addicted gambler that has little to no help from other people will stay addicted and as long as he's addicted, he will find a way to have some money even if they need to do bad things or worse, crime. Like you, I feel sorry for those people who got affected by their gambling addiction negatively, but that's the consequences of their wrong decisions.

right, the dangerous ones are individuals who spread the disease of gambling addiction in their family environment, I have a friend whose husband is a gambling addict, because his wife was annoyed with her husband who always gambled online, she ended up playing online gambling and until now their property has been used up by online gambling which is currently rampant

lucky that the guy still is alive and the wife didn't just cut his throat and move on with her life. she joined with him instead which is quite rare for anyone who already not giving his wife the right attention. she loves him though. i have some doubts to online gambling to be addictive but if they pay the monthly subscription for the internet access, there must have been a level of success.

if they both do crimes and kidnapped someone for money, i'm sure the other one is there following orders. we've seen this happened already. the sanity not intact.
