Je těžké s hazardem přestat? (strana 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!

I think it's very difficult, because if you reach the point of being a gambling addict, you'll be one for life, just like someone who abuses drugs/alcohol, and with gambling the temptation is always there. I think the will to quit is very important, but without help it's not possible.

Creo que es muy difícil, porque si llegas al punto de ser ludópata, lo serás toda la vida, al igual que alguien que consume drogas/alcohol de manera abusiva, y con el tema del juego la tentación está siempre ahí, creo que la voluntad de querer dejarlo es muy importante, pero sin ayuda no es posible.

I know the thread was a bit abandoned, but I found the question very interesting.

Sé que el hilo estaba un poco abandonado pero me pareció muy interesante la pregunta.

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

Thank you so much, you're a fantastic team!

Muchas gracias, sois un equipo fantástico

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

I completely agree; since it's an addiction that doesn't initially cause physical consequences, it's much easier to hide, even though it destroys you psychologically and financially.

Totalmente de acuerdo, al ser una adicción que a priori no causa secuelas físicas, es mucho más fácil de ocultar, aunque te destroce psicológica y económicamente.
