Gambling addiction can be as destructive as addictions to drugs or alcohol. If you struggle with gambling, you risk losing everything you care about. Here's how to stop gambling and regain control of your life.

Steps to Stop Gambling

Acknowledge the Problem

The first step in overcoming gambling addiction is admitting its destructive impact on your life. Honest self-reflection is essential for positive change and seeking help.

Delete Gambling Apps

Remove gambling apps from your devices to reduce impulsive betting. This practical step helps break the cycle of addiction and focus on healthier activities.

Ask for Support

Don't face gambling addiction alone. Reach out to friends, family, or trusted individuals for support. Sharing your struggles builds a network of encouragement for your recovery journey.

Join a Support Group

Connecting with others who understand gambling addiction is invaluable. Support groups provide a sense of community and shared experiences, offering strength and motivation to stay on the path to recovery.

Professional Gambling Addiction Treatment

For severe gambling issues, professional treatment is crucial. Trained therapists at Samarpan Recovery offer tailored strategies to address underlying issues and help you overcome compulsive gambling.

Understanding Gambling Laws in India

Legal Aspects

Gambling on games of skill, like poker and horse racing, is legal in most Indian states. However, games of chance are prohibited except in Goa, Sikkim, and Daman, where a limited number of casinos operate legally.

Online Gambling

Online gambling has surged in India, with no nationwide prohibitions. Telangana and Andhra Pradesh are exceptions, banning all online gambling. The rise of online gambling, especially during the Covid-19 pandemic, has led to increased addiction.

Challenges in Quitting Gambling

Psychological Factors

Gambling activates the brain's reward system, leading to addiction. It also serves as a temporary escape from stress, mental illness, or trauma.

Financial Factors

The urge to recover lost money perpetuates compulsive gambling behavior.

Limited Treatment Options

High-quality rehabilitation centers for gambling addiction are scarce in India. Samarpan Recovery in Pune offers comprehensive treatment programs to help you quit gambling for good.
