Gambling is a Bad Habit Hard to Break, A Habit that Can Kill a Marriage Dead

Gambling is one of those increasingly common marriage problems that are often over looked despite over 50% of compulsive gamblers having been divorced. As with many bad habits, gambling has a real negative impact on family life with the habit often leading to serious financial problems as well as neglect of partners and children and sometimes proving to be a catalyst for abuse.

The National Gambling Impact Study Commission reported that more than 15 million Americans have a serious gambling problem often generated from boredom, a need for change, the adrenalin rush or as a result of marital or family conflicts. Gambling is becoming an ever increasing marriage problem and it's a bad habit that has serious consequences with regard to family and personal life.

Very few people have any kind of understanding of the devastating impact that the gambling habit can have. Gambling is one bad habit that if it grabs a hold it takes over your entire life, wrecks you marriage, alienates your family, leaves you in financial ruin and destroys your life. Like alcohol abuse, gambling is often a root cause for domestic violence and child abuse. Gambling starts as just a bad habit, something that you do when you've got some spare time but it quickly worms its way into your routine and becomes and all encompassing and hard to break addiction that rules your life.

The escalating habit has been made worse with gambling becoming even more common as a result of the onset of internet gambling. There are now around 1,700 gambling websites all vying for business and just waiting to encourage more and more people into the regular gambling routine. Online gambling is a really bad habit to get into with the 24/7 access from the comfort of your own home, the loss of the sense of reality when gambling away money and the ease at which the gamblers can add more funds.

Research has shown that online gamblers are more likely have the most serious gambling habits / addictions and the families of those addicted suffering a greater intrusion into their everyday lives.

Hypnosis for Gambling - 4 Ways It Can Help You Break the Habit

With the lights, the bells, the money, and the thrill of victory, gambling is an adrenaline rush that's too much for lots of people to resist. Unfortunately, gambling can become such a powerful addiction that it's almost like having a mistress. It can make you lie to your friends and family, spend money that you don't have, and lead you down a path of destruction.

But if you think you have to live a life that revolves around your reckless gambling habit, think again. When done correctly, hypnosis for gambling can actually be stronger than the habit itself!

By working with a qualified consulting hypnotist, you can get help for your gambling addiction in 4 different ways:

1. Hypnosis for gambling can help you find thrills in other parts of life.

That way, you can get an adrenaline rush from something that's not damaging. Depending on your interests, you can get the same satisfaction from learning how to play a new sport, taking up a new hobby, or even spending more time going out on dates. No matter what you and your consulting hypnotist decide to have you do, if you can find a similar thrill in something that's positive and productive, you won't feel the urge to gamble anymore.

2. Hypnosis for gambling can stop all of those compulsive thoughts.

You know how it goes - all you can think about is where and when you're going to place your next bet. Those thoughts can get in the way of both your personal and professional lives. But by tapping into your subconscious mind during hypnosis - where your gambling addiction is rooted - you can train the depths of your mind to stop it.

3. Hypnosis for gambling can give you more self-confidence.

Maybe you started gambling because you didn't have enough money to "keep up with the Joneses", or maybe you thought that you could use your gambling winnings to impress your girlfriend or wow your buddies. The truth is - you started gambling because you don't think you can impress people on your own.

During hypnosis, you can teach your subconscious to view you as someone who has more to offer than just a big disposable income, and eventually, your desire to gamble will go away.

4. Hypnosis for gambling can train your subconscious to see gambling as something bad - so that you're so turned off by it that you don't want to do it anymore.

You and your consulting hypnotist may focus on all of the negatives associated with gambling - like the bills you can't afford to pay, the loved ones you're alienating, or the loan sharks you're indebted to. Instead of seeing thrills and pleasure in it, your subconscious will view gambling as being unappealing.
