How to control gambling addiction?

[DavetJack]

There are many of us who are so addicted to gambling that it has become a situation of bringing our family down. Although we play it through joy, we gradually become very addicted to it and we lose all our money there. There are many who have turned their peaceful life into chaos because of this gambling and even then they are not able to give up gambling. There are many such news that they are asking their parents for money because of gambling and they torture their parents for not giving them money. I mean what should we do at this time so that we can give it up and even if we play it, it is very less which does not put stress on us or cause any chaos.

First, the person should know that gambling sites sets the odds for themselves to win and gamblers to be losing. If they see you on their site, they are happy because they know that more money is coming. This will let the person know that he is not likely going to win than lose but likely going to lose than win.

Second, the person should not use more than 1% of his weekly income to gamble and that should be when he has excess and enough to save.

Addiction is the state of not having any control over your habits. Controlling what you already have no control over as a gambler is very difficult. What the gamblers should be talking about at the moment is how to heal completely from their addiction. In most cases, quitting gambling for a while to pursue other real-life activities like a real job, bonding with friends and family, and engaging in hobbies is the only solution.

For gamblers who are not yet addicted, they can help themselves by controlling how they gamble and how much time and money they spend on gambling. It is easier to do this now than to wait until everything gets out of control.

First we must be able to manage finances and if we can't then we can ask others, in this case family. Maybe we can give all the money we have so that the family can manage it and provide for our daily needs.
It's quite difficult because here we also need trust in them, because no matter the family or what if they are not honest then they will use our money.

You're ready to gamble - this means you have to be ready for the responsibilities that come with managing your bankroll and always setting limits on gambling.

Never chase losses - because it is certain that in the end you will lose, lose everything including property.

When the money deposited has run out then stop don't play anymore, don't continue to force it even though your desire to continue playing.
Make sure 1% for gambling allocation.

its hard for a gambler not to chase loss actually. somehow within us there is the need for us to win it back first before we stop.

its okay for non gamblers after all they probably just accidentally got into an online casino because of a promotion about free spin and thats it. but for a gambler who intentionally came to atry out the free spin and maybe even abuse the promotion 

he just got to fight the addiction if he wants his life back on track.

Anyone that's not working shouldn't gamble because you don't have money for your up keep and whose money would you use to gamble. Gambling is addictive and when you gamble without self control, you will end up in addiction. When you're addicted, you are no longer in control of your senses amd hou might end up in frustration and depression at the end of the day.

This is actually the biggest problem in gambling and it affect most gamblers that have failed to discipline themselves in the act because if you lack discipline whether you gamble for fun or not you will end up falling a victim of these circumstances. I have seen so many people and friends fall victim to this chronic gambling addiction and some of them even drugs added and believe it's not something you would even wish for your greatest nemesis because the person won't have the right sense to even think straight and right.

Gambling addiction is not a one-person problem. When a gambler becomes addicted, the entire family is affected. This is why, regardless of how much a gambler wins, he must exercise caution to avoid falling into the deep financial and emotional trap that is frequently the result of gambling addiction.

The best way to control gambling addiction is to avoid becoming addicted.  When a gambler is addicted, he will struggle to cope with any measures prescribed to help him overcome his addiction. Living a normal life will take a long time, so a gambler should avoid addiction at all costs.

Currently, most of the people believe that gambling is just a personal issue, but this is not exactly the truth. Lack of self-control is never a desirable trait as it leads to group problem which has implications on relationships, trust and coexistence in a household. Habits of gambling are no longer a way to get entertainment and lose temper but is a repetitive method to run away. And when that escape turns into a routine, the only things that are left are exhaustion, dependency, and remorse. Not everyone can get out of the cycle in a short time and if one is deeper into it- it is even more difficult to reorganise the normal day life.

A gambler should know that gambling is meant for fun and not for quick money doubling and even if they must double funds it should be for fun and not on making extra profits from gambling. Many gamblers believed that immediately they started gambling then it's their keys to success that is why anyone who keeps thinking this way will ended up becoming an addicts gambling because there is no principles or discipline while gambling.

It's unfortunate that what you mentioned happens to some gamblers. While not everyone experiences this, I believe most irresponsible gamblers do. I agree that seeking professional help is important if we find ourselves in this situation. Although it may require a substantial amount of money and family support, it is achievable if the person involved is willing.

Yes you are absolutely right. There are many who are addicted to gambling, they basically think that from here they can double their money quickly and they can become rich very quickly. But they never think that gambling is only for entertainment which can give you some pleasure at some point. They only gamble to double their money very quickly or to become rich so quickly, so they become more addicted to it and as a result they lose all their wealth. We know that there is a lot of risk in gambling but why are we here to make money, we should start here with 5% of our all income just for entertainment, so that we will not have the possibility of becoming addicted and there will be no risk of losing money.

the fact that you allocate some money for gambling, its still going to make you chase the loss when accumulated. this won't help you quit or control you gambling spree.

one reason i have my control over my gambling is my responsibility where i have my offline job and mouths to feed. although i always watch out for some boxing and UFC fights to bet, i skip whenever i feel like the bouts are not for my to bet on.

Yes, there is one thing that cannot be stripped off from the habit of gambling and that is the urge control mechanism from within a person. When that limit is no longer felt, the habit that was initially identified as enjoyable turns into activity that occupies a lot of things for instance time, emotions and relationships. We can safely suggest that some have learnt how to contain it but in the real sense, many are lost without knowing it. In that state, not only financial resources are nil, but also the opportunity to communicate with those people who are close. Freedom to change only comes with truth and this can only be sought if a person is truthful to their self. If he has not reached that, any help that comes in from the outside is ill defined. The openness is one of the starting factors that cannot be imposed but will be of great value when it comes on its own.
