I also know that some of us here will just put their attention on different things to avoid too much gambling. But in reality, it's just easy to say but harder to do. There's no easy way if you really got attached to gambling. But in your opinion or personal experiences, how do you overcome your addiction to gambling?
gambling addiction will be easily cured if the person has a strong desire to change from himself.. in another thread, I have told the story of my past who was a heavy gambler who forgot time and sold a few things at home, then I changed because I got married (I didn't stop gambling completely, only reduced it)
but if the family can't change the addict, I think there are 2 ways which the family can try, that is to get closer to religion or bring the addict to hypnotherapy.
One who is addicted first of all will never hear anyone's words. It is the situation that has made a change in you. If you aren't into such situations surely you could've experienced the addiction for a long. Until and unless a person himself decides, it is impossible to get out of addiction. Getting close to religion should not happen forcefully.
