First we have to know what is
addiction. It is a big issue in present era and most of people are suffering
from it. An addiction is nothing but only a psychological craze or dependence
towards anything specially any activity. Addiction occurs when someone fails
his or her control and continuously by any mean that activity is making some
harmful effect to him or her. Accordingly it can take place in anything like
drugs, alcohols, food, and sex and when it comes to gambling field; it becomes
really a serious issue among the gamblers.
Unlike any other type of addiction this
addiction is hard to identify. But generally it is seen when a person
experiences win in several gambling and accordingly feels that they cant
control their deep impulses to gamble and they can make a nice deal and gain
more and more money through that type of activity without facing any trouble,
that mainly play role in making addiction towards gambling field. Gambling
addiction makes the gambler so impulsive that they can’t give any single
thought to be involved again in this activity and in the winning stage the
gamblers become so excited with their earnings that they don’t want to quit
gambling by any mean. With that they feel their increasing intensity to
gambling field. Even sometimes it is found that they are deterred by recurrent
losses as they think that they can win again and get their money back. The addicted gamblers forget to think
although it is a form of harmless entertainment and fun yet that can become a
devastating illness too and can affect them negatively. It can lead the players
very badly to big financial problems (when they start to borrow huge amount of
money), mental restlessness, relationship stress and many other activities
related to their lives.
Thus a recreational sport
gambling turns out to be a denting experience to any gambler when he gets
addicted to this betting field. Like winning phase and losing (as discussed
above) there is also desperation stage which can lead a gambler to get addicted
horribly. Keeping hope in mind that they can earn more and more through this
betting process and eliminate their losses which they may even face on every
alternative day of their playing they become mentally fatigued. Unmanageable
state of their increasing debts makes them desperate to face gambling every
day. Desperately the gamblers are found engaging in illegal activities to
finance their gambling. They may suffer badly by hopelessness, suicidal
thoughts, even arrest, divorce and any other drug exploitation. That surely
leads to a complete breakdown of an addicted gambler.
Although gambling addiction
cannot be identified so easily, there are some signs which can denote that
addiction a little bit. That includes constant discussion about gambling,
making gambling plan, gambling at any odd time, getting into a long debt
circle, giving priority to only gambling not even to personal life and
responsibilities and feeing the need to gamble to wipe off any practical issue
or stress. It is only a concept but deliberately the sign of addiction is not
confined among such behaviors only. There may be many other signs which assign
gambling addiction.
There are some treatment
programs also for the addicted gamblers. The therapies and medication are
supposed to be the most successful way to be cured from this addiction.
Counseling with various support groups can also help to remove this type of
addiction. But above everything for successful result in this treatment firstly
it is required that the addicted person has to admit that he or she is facing
restlessness with such type of activity and is feeling to give it up as soon as
possible, unless and until the recovery process will not go make any further
step.
