Can gambling addiction be cured?

We have to define what a cure for a gambling addiction is. Can an addicted individual evolve to a place where gambling no longer has the emotional tie, the compulsive and obsessive attraction. Absolutely, without a doubt, it happens all the time. People are able to self-cure. But the reality is that we never really are cured from alcoholism or gambling, because what we have with all these, is something learned. For example, no one is born with a gambling addition, they practiced and then they practiced some more and over the course of time the person has built neurological pathways in their brain that were not there when they were born. So, over the years, these pathways get stronger and stronger and now they've decided not to gamble anymore. Does that mean that that neurological circuitry that they've self-developed goes away? No, it's like a freeway that's always going to be there. We can develop ways from getting from point A to point B anew. We can develop a new freeway to make ourselves feel good. We can develop ways to avoid going down that old path called gambling, but can we ever eliminate it? I don't think so. For more information visit http://www.aaalternatives.com

@RedPillLondon Its a entranched habit that's all.

@no1petedohertyfan Says who? It's just a habit like any other nasty habit. Habits are learnt and anything that can be learnt can be unlearnt using deep hypnotherapy. It’s easy to quit gambling when you know how!

[Shokat01]

@sspaddock No, all it takes is one 2h session of deep hypnosis to quit gambling as easy as pie. Another 2h session helps you write off all of the losses of the past so you don’t go back to gambling in trying to win your money back. It’s so easy when you know how to quit gambling. Pity the screwed up medical profession or ignorant governments don’t realise this.

@mongeonkevin You got the right idea. This is what I tell all of my clients - if you want to make money from gambling then become a bookie otherwise the odds are always stacked against you. I have written a full book on the subject of addictions on my website.
