[DragonF]

Well to an extent it's quite possible to control gambling addiction. To control it, one must first be self aware that he or she is an addict, and should be willing to receive support for help from professionals who are best equipped for handling gambling addiction.
Recovery starts with recognizing the problem, avoiding triggers, and seeking counseling and support groups for gamblers. While it may be a very tough battle so many have overcame, and have successfully regained control .

I do not wish for a gambler to become addicted. Gambling addiction is a dangerous disorder that is difficult to overcome; however, it is not impossible to overcome. However, a gambler who is addicted must be aware that he is addicted and needs help.

It is at this point that a gambler can seek help to overcome their addiction, as admitting that they are addicted is extremely difficult. Gamblers are known for their secrecy when gambling.

Gambling is one of those habits that can take a toll in one’s life, and this paper is in agreement with the fact that this is one of the hardest things that many would admit they are going through. Generally, those persons who have already got addicted to gambling are much more interested in concealing this issue from others and from themselves as well. However, when a person starts to become aware that they need any type of aid this is considered to be a major step. The process of recovery could be slow and strewn with challenges but there exist a lot of support structures for this. It has to be noted that only with the will to do it and the readiness to change a person can navigate through these steps.

Well in this aspect things will always be very good when you have enough willpower, it is very difficult to fight against someone who does not have willpower, it is almost impossibl e, I personally have always said that every illness or addiction has a cure, but you have to want to be cured, that is the first thing and be willing to make any kind of sacrifice to be cured , if the person is clear about it the addiction can disappear quickly, but if the person in Question does not do their part, that is really difficult.

I fully agree with the statement above pointing out that willpower is what makes people begin changing; however, it should be mentioned that one has to have enough patience and readiness to work for a long time. Addiction is not always about one having to fight with their spirit but it is about those habits which have been built over the years. But even when a person has a good desire to change significantly for the better, they also need time and opportunity to discover and develop proper, healthy habits instead of trying to get relieved from impulsive thoughts and actions right away. If they carry on with that, the chances which they hope to get shall be easier to get even if they face several challenges.

I believe that everything is present in the way we see things, if we are people who are simply seeing everything from a crazy point of view it is difficult for addiction not to arrive, addiction will always arrive due to the lack of absolute responsibility, there is no other way, then when it gets worse is when specialists are needed, and that appears when the person has been sufficiently irresponsible with themselves, I see that addiction happens because of that, and that in the same way one has to rob but starting with the person themselves.

Every people has the potential to transform his life but this requires putting in efforts, and being conscious and awake to what is going on around. It often becomes more than simply poor behaviour patterns, but interpretation and interaction with interpersonal experience when one is caught in an addiction. As many as the people may try to enthuse and inspire us to change, it requires the individual to take responsibility for breaking the cycle. The book looks at the possibilities of the process of recovery with ones’ self at a point where they can decide to stop, see things differently and not feel that they are victims of their circumstances. The first step towards new life is to accept an idea that you can start transforming your life from where you are today.

Whatever we do, we must be able to be responsible for it, that is the main point in my opinion. We must understand that we will be the first to be harmed when we are addicted, and maybe even other people have to feel something that we actually did ourselves, for example family.

Well, awareness is important, because I believe someone can control it as long as they can understand it and be responsible for everything they do.

To control gambling addiction is what we have to do by ourselves, because it comes it how prepared we are in tackling the challenge, it may not comes as easy as we expect because we are used to that particular lifestyle already before now, but once the determination is there, then our mind is made up and we are going to gamble responsibly henceforth while the means to help out in tackling the addiction is going underground till it fully emerged.

The best approach should be religious practice. As far as I am aware, most religions directly prohibit gambling and anything related with gamblings! So, if a person is already addicted and wants to get rid of their addiction, they should probably practice their religion. At the same time, keeping oneself busy also helps, finding another source of entertainment or simply staying busy. If you don’t have free time to gamble, the addiction will eventually fade. Last but not least, spending quality time with loved ones, they surely helps greatly in this regard!

This could only be applicable to those who is relatively new to gambling. As for old members,  who are addicted, it's quite hard to get rid of their addiction with just religious practices. These guys need mental support. In this case, family plays a vital role, my personal opinion obviously. Surely you wouldn't gamble in front of your mother, father, sister or brother. That's consider bad in some parts of the world.

Those who are religious may stay away from gambling but nowadays there are many who gamble regardless of religion. There are some who do not tell others about gambling but they gamble themselves and forbid others. Religion forbids gambling because a gambler will get addicted to it and face various negative incidents but if someone gambled for temporary pleaser then gambling would not be seen in such a bad light.

I think it is like this, without effort, Without Dedication there is no way you can do something well, you need a lot of willpower to do things well, Especially when it comes to addictions you have to have a lot of discipline to do things well and as they are , that is why getting out of an addiction is very difficult, but it is something that can be done, we are and we are very capable of doing any type of activity of that style.

You are right that if one does not keep on practising, they will not be able to achieve much. It is never simple to deal with an addict because there’s that feeling that something has the upper hand on us most of the time. However I do feel that education can be powerful always that if we make up our mind with determination and know that these bad habits are not part of our personality, we can avoid them gradually and in turn make some modifications. Yes this requires a lot of effort to be used while getting out of the addiction level, but of course, nothing is impossible if one is willing to employ a lot of effort and be consistent. It has been a long process, nevertheless, as long as we continue to walk and run, one day we may see ourselves out of that trap.

Its always about helping himself to accomplish what he needs to do for himself. When a gambler is already an addiction, it requires an overhaul like completely renewing a personality.

The treatment will help but its always the person who would have to love himself to improve.  Or it could be an old habit he just have to quit like smoking that he just have to outgrow.
