You can read tips that you accept your addiction






gambling addiction or gambling addiction is one of the most complicated problems to be overcome. But you can always. We tell you how.



While all addictions are bad, difficult to overcome and can cause serious problems, the fact of being addicted to gambling also involves constant danger of being literally on the street. And what is worse, not only who is directly involved, but also his entire family.

The cheapest and most effective way if your not capable of quitting on your own is to get your family involved. Having them speak to you about your issues while telling you about their own issues could be a way to get to someone and realize that everyone has problems. You just have to overcome those problems so that you can move on.

Gambling Addiction

People can always blacklist themselves but that only goes so far. If I blacklisted myself in the state of Colorado then I could easily just go over to Kansas and gamble. Or find other ways to gamble. The best thing is to get your family involved. I think I saw someone post that as well.

I know that there is such a problemma ... I'm in the game for 3 years, but I treat the game as an additional earnings and nothing more. yes, there is anger, there is a state of tilda. but I find the strength to overcome this all. and go on. Do not hide your problems from the family is good advice

As someone who counsels people with such issues..there is no weaning off..it has to be cold turkey and you have to accept you have a problem.
After this..you work on the triggers, what makes you gamble, recognising the signs, the ways you manipulate people or yourself and people you are dependent on..then piece by piece you work on those things before devising a agreement with targets to manage day by day to stop....

It is an unpleasant and negative situation. The best is to go to an expert for this addiction.

you should try to never place a bet unless the odds are substantially in your favor--you need to cover things like rake and your gas to get to casino--so if poker is your addiction read and study and read and study and then only play at low stakes and against opponents weaker than you are--you have to learn good gambling habits--good self discipline is required--dont do things like chase losses or place bets more than you can afford--learn to succeed at gambling and you will learn to succeed at life since so many of the same principles apply

get professional help a psycholgist, addictions are often related to other unfulfilled ambitions rather than just the pursuit of money. The buzz creates a happiness to hide other life problems and pains.
also in UK where i am you can ban yourself form all betting places.
but mostly get professional help and talk.

Despite being of the less harmful vices, it typically has an affect on your job / business, relationships and ability to pay your bills. Addiction is self destruction, typically depression which is rage turned inward. Find the root cause - abuse, fear, anger and the who, what, where, when and hows that stimulates the rush gambling gives to forget the pain. Then talk it out with a pro while you rationalize it out with yourself.

From a former gambling addict 1982 - 2000.

I think that serious problems should be solved by professionals. If the player sees that he has a problem with the game, you need to contact people who have experience in solving such problems. Psychologist, for example.

It is obvious that dependence on gambling is a big problem. I personally know a few people who have this problem and it affects them and their loved ones very badly.

I believe that the problem of gambling is, first of all, the lack of discipline. If you are not a disciplined player you can become addicted. But if you play disciplined, then the dependence on gambling is not threatening you.

It wouldn't be an addiction if that was possible.
