Addicted to Gambling

We share addictionists dependence addiction (alcohol and other drugs to change minds, food, cigarettes) and the process of struggle against addictions (shopping, games, movement, work and sex). The problem is the addict and the addict was not the substance or process. The way an addict is possibly influenced by a change of mind is always different from a non-addict is concerned. The problem is the addict, not the “drug of choice.”

Normal people, who they are, to use materials and processes conform to no negative consequences,. Addicts abuse (ab-use) any of the foregoing. Addicts may be a popular means or process, or more than the individual, but most addicts are willing and able to use, misuse and diversion of anything available. At first glance, none of these as a problem. Given the continued use of the disease (the disease, Dis-comfort), which includes more prosperous feeling addicted to drugs and processes. It may be a little overweight, not to others what he says he wants to do, not to “be present” in his relationships, and spend more energy on his “hobby”, the game, drinking, and perhaps with some smoking cigarettes. Look innocent? The damage extends from the dissociation of emotional presence in his life and relationships, the obsession to find more ways to play. As it becomes increasingly important, the game came to dominate his thoughts and feelings. When he stops playing for a certain period, he may find that he drinks, smokes, eats more, consider replacing such substances and temporarily with them instead of playing with her underlying problems. Emotions using one of them to him in service coverage or changing the “up” or face the emotional pain and spiritual emptiness. After the match for some time, usually a chance to catch him, and he loses money. In response, it did not stop the game, but looking for ways to “do otherwise”. It is like the alcoholic, the types of alcohol … exchange switch to beer and wine only because he believes vodka is causing problems, failing to see that it was not alcohol, and certainly not the kind of alcohol is the problem. For alcoholics, it is with alcohol, what it does and it is not his, is wrong. “Wherever he goes, he is there!”. Just turn drinks or bars will not help. Disappointment! The player can change the location or types of game, but not in response to the negative consequences of the decision. The game is gaining in importance and becomes his primary relationship, pushing much of the rest of his life.

If he chooses to control “his gambling, (normal people have no control over their use of a substance or process, they can simply take it or leave it there), the addict is an energy not excessive on game days or after a certain number of hours in the casino or a computer, or after a certain amount of money or any external control. The attempt to control an addiction never works for long. The frequency, intensity, and problem gambling appear over and over again, it’s just a matter of time, or the user is the addiction switch and a heavy smoker, drinker, big eaters, executioner work, all the foregoing or anything. .. it’s just a matter of time. The addict will use all the techniques and materials to cover feelings by calling him to be emotionally present, and try to fill a gap that can not be filled this way.

The non-addict is a victim of abuse or exploitation and substance or process is not about his life. Repeat after me: “It’s the addict, not the substance or process is the problem.

Most addicts find that the foundation for a strong recovery to fill the void with a relationship to a higher power, which many call God’s power. This relationship is the issue, looking out, and the receiver. Try it out … nothing to lose but your pain and addiction … and everything to gain, starting with yourself.

To relax, you must quit the addiction to the feelings, however painful, to deal with them to heal then! We can not do alone. Get help!
