Passion for slot machines begins with simple interest. But over time, it can develop into a habit, and in some cases becomes a mania. A player who has lost his head loses his last money in the hope of winning, is mired in debt, and destroys family relationships. But there comes a moment when you need to say to yourself: "Stop!"
Instruction manual
one
To cure any addiction, including gaming, you need complete isolation from the object of temptation. If you live in a city, go to relatives or acquaintances in the village, there just at every step you will not be met by another club with guns.
2
If there are no relatives in the village, take a vacation and leave at least in Tibet, at least in any abandoned village. The main thing is that you learn to have fun without a game.
3
When a person plays gambling, his brain actively produces a hormone of joy - endorphin. Try to get this hormone in any other way. Exercise, go to the pool or gym. Endorphin is produced in large quantities during long-distance running, barbell exercises and martial arts.
4
If you have an iron limit and willpower, just stop playing. The principle of action is the same as with smoking cessation. Go around the slot machines on the tenth road, limit communication with former "colleagues" in the game, and come up with a new useful hobby for yourself. In general, keep your thoughts and hands busy to think less about slot machines.
5
Computer games helped some recover from addiction. Before you get hooked on your computer, weigh the pros and cons. Determine for yourself why you quit playing. If this is a financial factor, you spend too large amounts of money in the void, you can safely download military strategies or "shooting games" for yourself. But if the reason is that you spend all your free time only with automatic machines, your wife and children almost do not see you, and your colleagues have almost forgotten how you look, then understand that in this case you will exchange awl for soap.
6
If you have already reached the line, your relationship and career are almost destroyed, but you can’t overcome addiction yourself, consult a specialist. Help can be provided both individually and when attending group classes.
Useful advice
Ask for support from loved ones, wife, or parents. Spend more time together, let them help you distract from obsessive thoughts.
