I used to watch a lot of video interviews with addicted gamblers. They told me how they went through treatment and one thing struck me. More precisely, this thing is quite natural in relation to addiction treatment, as I understood later, but I did not immediately understand the logic. We are talking about weaning from gaming. I thought that weaning from gaming would most likely only work in very advanced cases, when the player is at the bottom of a financial crisis or on the verge of suicide. Then weaning from gaming would most likely work well. But if this is not the case, then what is the benefit of weaning from gaming? Perhaps the logic is to create positive habits in a person. But, in my opinion, this does not allow us to identify the main reason for gaming and work on it. In my opinion, the real reason is that a person has a naive desire to get rich on gambling (, but he does not have even the slightest competence for this and it is more than likely that they will not appear. This is if we are talking about sports betting. If a person wants to get rich on casino games, such as roulette, and does not want to know anything about risk management and money management, then weaning from games is really necessary. And what do you think, does refusal to play (deprivation) contribute to recovery from addiction or is it useless?
Yes I think refusal go play or gamble will contribute to recovery from addiction if actually the refusal is totally or wholly because if a gambler doesn't gamble for a period of time or long time, the zeal, the urge, the feeling and some kind of mindset will reduce and it will also change. The truth is that most gambler will find it difficult to even think of refusing to play because then have been sinked inside gambling and so taking this decision is sometimes almost impossible. Anyone who gamble without knowing how to manage risk and his finance will definitely turn an addict because if they make any loss they will press to get it back which can lead to losing more and from there addiction is developing.
Of course, if a person who is addicted to gambling stays away from gambling for a long time and does not play, then gradually his mind and mentality will change a lot. When a person is addicted to winning, the feeling of gambling awakens in him and if he does not do it, he does not like it at all, just as we often do not like it when we are immersed in games, we do not like it if we do not play games, just as they do not like it if we do not buy gambling.
Although it will be very difficult for a person addicted to gambling to quit, if he does not enter gambling platforms for a long time, hang out with friends and socialize with people, then he will gradually return to mental balance. A family is always at risk with a person addicted to gambling, so if the addicted person is to be returned from gambling, he must be enrolled in various types of encouraging activities, only then will it be possible.
