How to control gambling addiction?

[DavetJack]

Gambling is an addictive game or a platform in which financial gains and losses occur. Gambling is basically a game in which a certain amount of money or objects or prizes are determined by something that is equally budgeted by each other. There are two sides to gambling, profit and loss. When we win, we get excited and bet more so that we can get more. But we forget that there is also loss that ends us completely. Generally speaking, we have to play both sides of gambling and the emotional state that we get after losing is only due to a little influence inside us which makes him mentally ill.

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.

You are very right in that Sense, Addiction must be felt as something that dominates the person and forces him to do that task that harms him and in part it is something that harms him all the time, then in view of this it can be intuited that that is what must be fought , and that goes within our will and the help that we have , that is to say even so Everything is in u s, if we say: No more , then it will not Happen again, but if we have weakness in our decisions we will not be able to Carry them out.

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.

Yes, indeed a person should help themselves, because even if the best Psychologists and Psychiatrists treat them, they have to do their part to Improve , If they don't, it's impossible, Unless they are always in a sleep cure where they are completely asleep all the time and can hardly do anything , I think that in extreme cases they have to do sleep cures, because if the person becomes dangerous , there is no other option.

Exactly one needs to improve on themselves before they can overcome some circumstances or avoid and stay away from some things that is inappropriate. Aside that even one didn’t try to work on them self even if they meet any health personnel it will Will only reduce the amount of mistakes they made but can’t stop them from making that same mistake if he or she doesn’t stop or do away with it so the victim as a lot of impact or role to play to make adjustments to him or herself.

Anyone can sit with a trained professional but pain will persevere unless individuals make themselves willing to create space for new ideas. It is unethical to expect someone who is severely weak to rise independently yet dishonest to believe they play no part. Any effort regardless of its size makes an important foundation for positive change. Inner self generates it. People demand complete medical care primarily during dangerous situations in which they become unmanageable. The essential target remains their recovery of self-awareness so they can make their future decisions independently. Healing requires the presence of the person throughout the healing process without any clear cut formula that works independently.

At the same time, I would say that they should identify the main reasons for gambling addiction such as greed, losing self control. Then make arrangements on how to prevent these things. We can easily control ourselves by doing one thing here, such as setting a limit on the amount of winning and losing in gambling, so that our gambling will be limited to a certain limit so that. Where the winning amount is not high, at least the amount of loss will be less.

Before we can control ourselves, we need to know ourselves. because it is not uncommon for people not to know what they are like which ultimately makes them unable to control themselves.

for example we know that if we gamble then we will find it difficult to stop, therefore we must apply limits and maybe if necessary we must have someone by our side to remind us.

We who gamble need to have a limit that if we lose money then we don't play there. But when we are affected by gambling then we gradually become more addicted to it hoping for profit. We can't control ourselves that we shouldn't play now or we have lost more than the amount of money we wanted to play with. But yes if we want to control our emotions and ourselves in this gambling game then we must first know ourselves what we can do.

A professional help makes it easier but the foundation of gambling control start with the gambler itself. If as a gambler you don't follow gambling ethics and common rules, you wouldn't be able to liberate from gambling addiction because you can't be gambling recklessly with huge amount of borrow money and not expect to be addicted.

The first step is been a responsible gambling, if anything comes after this and you become addicted then seeking a professional help is very crucial to be the next step but if you don't practice the common, it is pointless visiting a professional.

Just one - set a strict discipline, and limit your bankroll not to exceed that limit depending on how strictly you do it.
If the bankroll runs out just take a break don't force yourself to play and deposit again because eventually you will lose your money.
It is better to play in a calmer way and do not have a sense of avenging previous losses.

It is always good to have high morale, high self-esteem so that we are not affected by some things or activities in life, including losing in gambling or sports patterns and even in trading sometimes in these activities the fact of losing is normal, what is not normal is losing a lot and winning very little or losing to such an extent that our life falls to pieces, that is a disaster, there must always be control over it, that is why addiction is something that we must begin to improve from the person who suffers from it, that is where it all begins with their desire to get out of it.

One of the ways to control gambling addiction is to get busy. Don't stay idle because that will attract gambling all over again if you have nothing to do that will fill up the gap of idleness, you will easily fall into gambling addiction again.

Another useful way to deal with gambling addiction is to remove anything that will remind you of gambling. If it is to disconnect yourself from friends who gamble, do it. If it is uninstalling gambling apps, do it; so far, it will help you forget gambling.

Train yourself to gamble with a lesser amount you can afford to lose and don't build up many expectations from gambling

You're right, I think that there would be a lot of psychological play in this, of raising the self-esteem of the affected person much more, since in these cases there is a lot that is thought about, what one wants to get rid of can become a rather distant desire but not impossible, yes it can be done, and every help that is given to the affected person or addict must be grateful with all their soul because it is something that will serve them for their whole life, and it is a fact that it will help them in every area of ​​their life.

You mentioned high self-esteem at least twice on this page. Is there any research that shows people with high self-esteem are less susceptible to addiction, and if they have one, it's easier to get through that? I'm interested in the data and analysis.

Maybe people have already mentioned features like self-lockout on some gambling platforms, so I'll just add another thing, and that is to move or find an environment that will help you control your problem. I think those with serious addiction really need that. While you could argue it isn't as destructive as drugs addiction, controlling your own behaviour is almost impossible when you're at the deep end already. CMIIW.
