Är det svårt att sluta med spelande? (sida 4)

Thanks Radka

i have spoke with Luca.

Simon will tell you more when you speak with him.

Always happy to help you the best we can!

Much appreciated.

Thank you so much for helping others!

Jag tycker det är väldigt svårt, för om man når den punkt där man blir spelberoende så kommer man att vara det för livet, precis som någon som missbrukar droger/alkohol, och med spelande finns frestelsen alltid där. Jag tror att viljan att sluta är väldigt viktig, men utan hjälp är det inte möjligt.

Jag vet att tråden blev lite övergiven, men jag tyckte att frågan var väldigt intressant.

And we are glad for your input, of course, at any time.

Tack så mycket, ni är ett fantastiskt team!

Thank you for your kind words; we really appreciate it.

Yes I totally agree and I think I said something similar somewhere in this thread.

I know people who are and have been addicted to drugs / alcohol. Some beat it with therapy and removing themselves from certain situations where the temptation is there, bars, clubs etc. Or maybe just the social circle they keep.

I found that gambling (for me it was specifically online) was such an easy habit to hide from people.

By this I mean, a person who is drunk or under the influence of drugs displays behaviour that is noticeable to other people. Whereas with gambling you don’t look at some and say they are a gambling addict just off the way they look or act. This is why I think it is more difficult to beat than most (all addictions are difficult to beat too).

Over the years of me being open not just with myself but with others, I can now actually spot the behaviour of people who are doing the same things that I used to do. I hope with more awareness of the addiction that it will become easier for others to spot this behaviour in their social circle and then reach out to try to help these people who are struggling. I speak from experience and can say that I have helped many of my friends to address their gambling behaviours. It has helped a lot of them stop.

Please feel free to comment on other posts that you find interesting, a lot of people do read these posts.

Stay safe

Jag håller helt med; eftersom det är ett beroende som initialt inte orsakar fysiska konsekvenser är det mycket lättare att dölja, även om det förstör dig psykiskt och ekonomiskt.

I think this problem is very twofold, and it depends on the person themselves and their self-discipline. But if a person can't resist this addiction, then they need help, because by the time others see it, I think it will be too late.
