Gambling addiction - gambling addiction - at first glance is not as scary as the use of alcohol or drugs, but the gambling addict's relatives will not agree with this. Lost cars and apartments, overwhelming loans, lack of interest in real life - these are the most common consequences of gambling addiction.
Instructions
Step 1
The players themselves often think that they are trying to win money in casinos, lotteries or machines. This is a good excuse, but in fact, there is no question of benefit. Gambling attracts people with emotion. Adrenaline, victory happiness, excitement. Why can't you get such emotions in other ways? The fact is that all other sources of strong impressions require a person's strength, skills, time spent on training, and slot machines are undemanding - there would be money.
Step 2
In order to get rid of gambling addiction, first of all, it is necessary to realize it as a problem. It is advisable to do this before you come to be evicted from the apartment by a court decision. It is necessary to clearly understand that it is not at all about easy money, but the emotional component of the game process. It is possible that for this you need the help of loved ones or doctors - do not hesitate to accept it.
Step 3
The excuses about the source of income look very weak. Of course, slot machines bring huge profits, but only to the owners, not to the players. It is known that with the average cost of one machine in two or three hundred thousand rubles, it pays off in a month. Remember that this only happens at the expense of gamblers. In addition, the math is on the side of the owners of slot machines and casinos - not a single gambling establishment operates at a loss for itself, but the loss of players is not at all important.
Step 4
Any person needs strong feelings, but besides slot machines there are many other sources of emotions. The main thing is to find yours. Sports helped someone get rid of addiction, someone a new job, someone bought a motorcycle and poked around in the garage, not remembering about the enticing music of the slot machine. Salvation can be the birth of a child, moving and settling in a new place, a normal hobby - anything except excitement.
Step 5
A good psychologist can easily set blocks for specific dependencies: cards, machines, casinos, but the emotional void will need to be filled. The main thing is not to try to cheat the block by switching from slot machines to horse races or bookmakers, but to make a fundamental change of concepts. Get rid of the idea that you can buy emotions for money, because it is known that nothing really important can not be bought for money.
