Gambling brings so much joy especially when you're on the winning side, when things are all in your favor it just seems like you should never stop. But when it gets bad, you look for a way to pour out your anger, either on someone or on something.
When someone is addicted to gambling I feel it's worst than one who's addicted to drugs.
So much has been said about betting companies regarding how they should be responsible in helping those who are addicted to gambling, although is really hard to do so on there own path because gamblers can't be monitored.
I don't know if booking an appointment with a therapist would help or is something you as a gambler who wants out should do on your own.
The question is if you're a gambler or have someone who is, what's the best way to help out. And what's your story on escaping that addiction (gambling)...
How do you fight this battle?
If you are truly addicted then it's just like every other addiction. There are multiple ways to combat addiction to include gambling: first don't surround yourself in a social circle with other gamblers. Try to hang out with people irl and online with people who don't gamble. Also therapy, there is no shame in just admitting and giving in. Not everyone can combat addiction on theor own. Ask for help, it's probably one of the best pieces of advise, not for gambling but just in general. It's ok to have flaws, people are just that...people.
