How do I help someone overcome a gambling addiction?
My boyfriends seems to have developed a serious love for gambling. It was fine at first but its reached the point where he doesn't have a penny to his name. This depresses him and his solution is to bet some more, hoping to win big. He has to borrow 30 to 40 pound from me for his food shop but then i'll go to his house the following day and there'll be no food and no money. I've tried talking to him about it but he just blows it off, saying he'll stop as soon as he gets a bit of money in this pocket. I'm worried that that might never happen and its gonna get worse and worse. I don't know if this kind of stuff is a bit heavy for yahoo but i'm desperate. I need to help him. Advice please?
Do gambling addictions just go away?
Hello,My husband left me, after years of gambling our money away, he started at age 19 and is now in late twenties and the addiction got so bad he kept gambling our rent money away and then blaming me for being " lazy" or his low paying job and feeling of desperation to " get ahead" as the reasoning. I have been to hell and back with this man. And he packs up and leaves me to start a new life in the western parts of the country, to do an entry level job in the oil industry as a labourer.He will be working 11 days on, 3 off, twelve hour shifts.My question is, could this be his turnaround point? He has completely cut me out of his life and I am so devastated. He has literally jut switched me out of his life and said I held him back.So upset and need some real advice now.

Is this a gambling addiction?
Hey everyone. I think my dad is getting to become a compulsive gambler. Heres whats up. My parents just split about uh 5 months ago or so. My dad was stealing my mothers money saying he was paying out house bill but he really spend money at a casino $9000 He stole 270 from me which i was trying to save for a car with my 7.25 hr job 3 4 days a week. He says he is paying me back next pay but he has been saying that for months now. He keeps going to the casino claiming that he has " free play" how would he get these $100 free plays every week sometimes twice a week? I told him he needs help because he seems like hes becoming addicted but he keeps denying it. Also, he sits on the computer for about 7 to 8 hours a day playing different facebook slot games. Guys i really need help here. My parents split, we lost our house and are in a crappy apartment, and i lost my animals all because of this. We are in major debt. Please please please give me your thoughts and let me know if this is an adiction and what i can do to make him get help. This really has ruined our relationship so bad that i will probably be moving out in a few months if nothing changes. And im only 16, im tired of dealing with it. Sorry for rambling on i am just so fed up Thanks for taking your time. I appreciate it so much.

Can i gamble myself out of a gambling addiction?
How should I deal with my gambling addiction?
I've lost a little over $5K on sports gambling, poker, blackjack, roulette, craps and other random casino stuff..I'm 21 years old.. I've been gambling since I was 17.How can I kick this habit before I start earning real money when I graduate from college in less than a year.I have tried to kick the habit or stop losing money with the following reasoning I justify not sports gambling because I never have sufficient information to make a bet and when I do I get restless and keep gambling.. I would go up 3 grand and gamble it all away because the games are over for the week and I want action.. always..Or with poker I'd play garbage hands because I'd get bored.. or get it in just to feel the rush.. so that's not good..Now you ask what if I kept emotions out of it.. I think I could get really small returns on my investments with poker or sports betting.. But every time I get up I lose it all again because I can't stop. I have tried wagering and playing poker 'smart' but it gets boring and I just end up big betting or playing crap hands cause I'm not enjoying myself.As for the roulette, blackjack... when games aren't on or poker isn't going well that's where I go..I know, I know. I tell my friends and they say I'm stupid. But it's like a drug.. and I'm coming off a period of depression too.. This validates my intelligence when I win.. makes me excited.. I never cared about school, got into a good college & received crap grades.. had crappy relationships, friends..Gambling is all I've had for a while.. It's what has made me happy.Can you give me some advice, thanks.

I have a gambling addiction?
ive been gambling in the past few months and many times when i try, i keep losing large sums. At the same time I also online game and through this ive been making real life profit over $45,000 dollars in a safe, fast way. I still live with my parents and dont really use this money, i just help them out with their debt and financial issues since they're really supportive for me, it just makes me feel useful. But whenever i use some of this money and gamble with it, i always lose, and try to make up the loss and end up losing alot more. I've lost over 10,000 dollars gambling. It makes me extremely depressed and I get angry so fast when i gamble. I feel like i have no luck at all, I can never end with a profit. I also hate being down money and want to make it back gambling, even though I know it is wrong and i'll probably lose more. Even though in total ive made money a positive net profit money, i still feel upset that I lost that money and cant stop thinking about it. I feel like nothing can save this addiction right now and i'm worried i'm going to lose a lot more and this is just the beggining step for a huge problem.

Are non-Asian Americans / non-Asians aware that gambling (addiction) is a big problem for these groups?
I'm just wondering, beyond the superficial stereotypes of being smart, nerdy, WHATEVER, if any of you guys are aware of a stereotype that's actually true of Asians and Asian Americans. My dad is a big gambler and he has caused my family to lose a lot of money over twenty years. He has also been a bad influence on my mother and my eldest brother, the latter who is a heavy alcoholic as well. I wish I could do something about it, but they deny that there is even a problem.
Gambling Addiction help?
Recently I have been feeling the urge to gamble whether it be online poker or betting on sports. I've lost a fair bit of money lately and am finding it very difficult to prevent the urge to gamble. I'm an 18 year old male and don't have money to spare especially not for gambling. I am concerned that this will lead to a more serious addiction. Are there any tips that can help me to suppress the urge to gamble? Thanks
