When another addiction fuels gambling addiction.

[Lida93]

Op, are you in anyway suggesting that addictions are interwoven or what? Because I know of many alcoholic and drug addicts that don't gamble just as there are lots of gamblers that don't take alcohol or even do drugs.

Thoughtfully it doesn't work in the way you're trying to connote as I do not see the relativity in an individual who's both a gambling addict and a drug addict having to quitting drug leading to an immediate quit in his gambling addiction. Except you want to tell me that both are of same causes which is obvious that they're not. It rather something the individual has to deal with differently at a different time.

Always making sure this is brief as possible.

From my observation on addiction, i get to see how addiction is like a chain. Individuals moving from one addiction to another and how several addictions or one addiction can give birth/rise to the gambling addiction. We can all agree as an individual there are several things in life we can be addicted to aside gambling.

Substances like like alcohol or stimulants addiction (drinking), Nicotine dopamine and weed addiction (smoking), to mention a few others can influence a responsible gambler into becoming addicted. There are people in the society who gamble to humanize, smoke or drink, or go out on expensive rides and stuffs.

When it becomes difficult for someone is addicted to gambling to quit. I think its not just about quitting gambling he has to do, if he as any other thing he is addicted to he should first quit on those ones because quitting those ones might make him lose interest automatically in gambling.

I think there is a general agreement that people who have one addiction are more susceptible to picking up other addictions. However this may be because they have lost the feeling of control as they have surrendered themselves to something already. Someone that is addicted to smoking tobacco is more likely to give cannabis a try and may then fall under its spell. When you feel weakness in one area of your life, it can open up doors to other weaknesses, if you choose to see gambling that way.

Addictions is hard to stop that's why one must try to prevent it so that they won't become addicted to anything. However just been saying this before now that addiction doesn't start just in a day, the gambler develops it gradually and that's how it becomes use to him or her. IMO, gambling addiction is the worst of all the things you have mentioned because some people can do anything for them to gamble, they can sell their properties or use people's money to fuel their gambling addiction. But one who's addicted to alcohol and drug might have friends that's also addicted so if this person do not have money to buy the hard drugs/alcohol the next person might have. Although the both are not something one should become addicted to because they are not good.

That makes sense.

But someone who's addicted to gambling needs to quit prior to what he wants to quit with. If he doesn't want to gamble anymore, he needs to quit gambling first than any other things.

If the damage that is being done with gambling is higher than anything else, it only means that he has to do that first so he can move on and quit with the other.

So, it's either way and what might works better for any gambler.

That's right bro, that's why we have to be able to control ourselves so as not to fall into addiction to something that can harm ourselves, addiction to something is okay as long as it's under our control, as long as we can control it so as not to harm ourselves too much, it's okay in my opinion, don't let us get addicted to things that can harm us so that we can no longer control it.

Excessive addiction in seeking money is also very dangerous in my opinion, because after all when we are addicted and can no longer control it, we can justify all means to be able to fulfill our desires, don't let all other people's rights become our own rights, because we can no longer control it so that our inner eyes are closed to doing indecent things that can harm others, not only ourselves, other people also feel the impact of our carelessness.

[acroman08]

if you have severe addiction on gambling but your not as severe on other addiction that you have, I think it is a good approach to tackle the addiction that you are not as addicted at compared to gambling. perhaps doing this would make it a lot easier to tackle your severe addiction to gambling, I mean, you'd know what to do when you are finally going to tackle your addiction on gamling. just a note that when you have multiple addiction it would be best to get profesional help and let them properly make a plan on what to do with your addiction.

[Y3shot]

I don't think any addiction can influence gambling addiction on someone and I don't think a quit to any addiction can also stop one from gambling addiction. The only reason for gambling addiction is because of lackof understanding,  taking gambling as a source of getting money, and gambling with no limit,  these are the things that causes gambling addiction.  And if you are suffering from other addiction and  you are lucky to be free from it, it is not a guarantee that you will be free from gambling addiction too. Being free from gambling addiction is by taking good decision and discipline.

Quiting addiction is not that easy, cause the fight is hard. The whole thing on addiction is that it holds someone down and almost in everything round about that person.

I don't see a gambling addict quiting gambling to be too difficult as one who has addiction related to the release of dopamine. This is one very difficult to break free from.

Gambling can be done in public with physical cash or mobile device, not to compare with drug addicts, who gains satisfaction only when they take in that substance they wholely desire.

[Salahmu]

Don't you think they can be addicted to both like alcohol or weed and gambling?  And then he may not be able to gamble if he isn't high so he needs to get high before gambling. Some people can think clearly when high.

If getting addiction to another thing can be a good strategy to quit gambling, I think its a better strategy. Say one will be addicted to gym exercise or Sauna. Or addicted to coffee, I think I'd prefer that just to quit gambling.

Taking those things can be a resistant to wining while gambling because we no the content of those alcohol and the other thing they are taking and certainly is something that cannot make someone to think clearly, so I wonder how they can get a game with unstable reasoning, though the instances I feel those things can work that way is the time of depression, so actually even if someone took it before or as they are gambling may not mean that they are addicted to the both in that way, such as doing it always in the time of gambling. However even if someone can only be addicted to one thing alone out of many doesn't mean you can just say I want this instead because your mind will not accept it, is just like how we have numerous sports but among them there is only one you regularly wish to gamble  based on the satisfaction you get from gambling with it, so that's how some persons may see it.

I can agree with that thanks to my personal experience which is that I used to play several hours a day video games, I used to go to the arcade games when I was a little boy up until 17-18 years old, soon after entering university I failed my second year and had to take one year off to retry again, during this one year off I found a job in a lotto club back in those days, should have been 2005 or something like that and I learned a lot, I mean truly a lot about gambling there so that was the addiction that fueled gambling, it came from me playing video games as I used to win the video games I thought I can win in gambling too which wasn't the case as I learn through my years in gambling, so yes most of the cases some other addiction can fuel gambling.

[Sonia_123]

It is only possible when the addictions are inter connected, that is you can't gamble without smoking or using any drugs before you can do anything that is when we can say addiction fuels addiction .
Drug addiction affects your brain and behavior to the point where you can't control your use of legal or illegal drugs.

When an addiction fuels another, it means the addict must have gotten to the climax where they no longer feel and enjoy the comfort they derive initially, which may now lead them to moving to another addictive activity so that they can now feel and get the same satisfaction they have being getting before.

Yes, it does I have seenit happen to many of my friends and at one time to me, there is something on smoking and drinking that lets you want to go on even if in the normal state you just stop. its stimulation is produced by smoking and drinking.
A friend even admitted that he wants to gamble because when he plays, he likes the taste of the liquor and the effects it produce more than when he is drinking and not gambling; one of these fuels the others so if you're smoking and start to gamble, understand the risk that you are exposing yourself to high-risk on both.

Substance addiction fuels excessive and irresponsible gambling since you get inspired to the point that you will not be able to make the right decisions, most of the uncontrollable gambling addiction cases are a result of substance abuse as the basis foundation for addiction.

Alcohol is the most consumed substance in most casinos and even online gamblers find alcohol as a good companion and relaxation while gambling but it impacts onnour emotional control.

You are saying that many people who gamble always have a reason why they gamble and when those reasons are no more of interest to them again, they’ll stop gambling and will automatically leave their gambling addict nature. I won’t disregard this your claim because it sounds so true and I think this is how it is actually for many people that are addicted gamblers, they’re force to make decisions that are not of their nature because of what they’re addicted to. Every addiction always has its repercussions though and if gambling repercussions can make a gambler feel to engage in another thing else, then he should try and detach himself from those things in order to get some sense of good behavioral act towards those things.

[Nwada001]

If quitting one can help you get rid of the others, then the solution is to go for it, but basically, if you quit one, it means you will be channelling all your energy to the rest that you have left. No form of addiction is good, and if it's possible, the person should take a break from whatever they do very excessively and seek help if they can't handle it themselves.

Many times, a person is addicted to multiple addictions at the same time, in which case one addiction fuels another. Some people are addicted to alcohol with friends and it has been seen that while being addicted to alcohol, they sometimes become addicted to gambling. Again, it has been seen that while playing cards, at some point, curiosity sets in and they place bets with money, and this bet later turns into gambling.

Gambling addiction and drug addiction are different, drug addiction damages the human body extensively. Gambling addiction starts when people find some extra ways to earn money, those who become addicted to gambling are the ones who may face financial losses later. But the unique addictions that you mentioned are basically symptoms of different addictions.
Maybe someone is driving and enjoying the pleasure, maybe they are taking drugs, this can basically show side effects later in his life. If a person does not have money, he will not be able to enter gambling, but if there are some strategies for gambling addiction, then of course people can abandon it.

That type of addiction is very common among friends who stays together and how to fight such is to start by disconnecting them from each other if they don’t socialize together the addiction life can easily be stopped by one since they don’t have each others back to motivate one another to either drink, gamble or even smoke, just the same way they don’t just start it one day stopping it will also be something of gradual process.

[Rabata]

A person can be addicted to different things. Someone can be addicted to drugs or someone can be addicted to gambling. But I have not seen anyone who, after becoming addicted to drugs, also became addicted to gambling. Any addiction has a negative effect on a person. But, if you try, it is possible to get rid of all addictions. In this case, the gambler must play a proper role. The gambler must take steps to protect himself from his addiction. If a person addicted to gambling can control gambling on his own, then he can get rid of the addiction. Gambling is not a source of income, no one will win regularly from it. If a gambler can achieve these things properly, then he can get rid of his addiction to some extent. There are many who are hoping to recover their losses, which is why they are facing more losses. He has to come out of all these ideas.

[Perfectbaby]

It's just like saying you want to use the medicine for infection and cure malaria. Things doesn't works that way, though they could sound the same but they both had different effects on our state of mind. If you are gambling addicts and another is smoking addicts, you could see you both may not reason the same because yours is like using the least to make out millions while the other is like using the least to cool off his brain just to get that satisfying Joy in them but is not the same as the other who is looking for the least to make millions. So, in handle the addiction both can't take the same cure.

I think that you're right. With my observation too in our neighborhood, when someone is addicted to 1 addiction, there goes the other(2) one that an addict goes. So, for a addicted gambler needs to sustain his needs, he'd go with other things. And much worst is when they're involved with drugs and other substances that makes them a whole addict for vices and everything and they need to be taken care of and reminded of what they're doing with their lives.
