My brother is 17 and addicted to gambling.
This addiction has cost us so much as a family especially my widowed mum.

He is constantly selling things and using money meant for his rent, upkeep, etc to gamble. Just last week he used his laptop to gamble. We have used tough love and right now we have exhausted all options to make him stop.

Like every other addiction if we are not proactive I'm afraid this will ruin him.

Additional Information: He's currently a 200L student of a federal uni but ever since he gained admission it has been one problem or the other caused by gambling. I'm thinking of withdrawing him and put him in a juvenile home if everything else fails.

I need practical solutions and advice on how to make him stop. If you are a recovered gambler please share what helped you.

1) Prayers and Godly advice
2) Gambling education ( the written and unwritten codes of the art)

Righteousness2:
Gambling is a Spirit. A very wicked and destructive spirit. Just like sucubus and incubus.

Your bro needs a constant dose of the word of GOD and Deliverance prayers. This will chase out the spirit and the spirit of GOD will come in and take over.

I recommend You begin to attend services at the Lord's Chosen with your brother. Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays.
Guy try to the manage your stupidity naaa!!

I think you're brother is possessed. I use to gamble before but i just stopped it after realizing it's a waste of money. So since then, i rather use my money to buy food and eat than to waste it on gambling.

Tell your brother to be writing down a very bet he has played and the ones he won and do the calculations together and let him know if he has saved that money what he would have used the money to do.

Children of these days. At 17, I wrote waec and at 17 ur bro is in 200l. While u guys were busy rushing him through school, he was busy rushing into gambling. How on earth did you think a 17 years old is capable of making a decision for himself. I know he must have picked up the gambling habit the moment he got into the university

Op gambling is just like bad habit that shit aint easy to drop. Well i was also like tho not that chronic gambler. But i noticed gambling can never be stopped by influence from people especially if it as become something chronic. I self determined to stop and made a vow with God not to go back to my vomit. Ive been doing well ever since then.

Note: Only when you stop can you know what you were missing when gambling away with your funds.

Talk to him.

It's psychological,his subconscious mind keeps telling him he can recover all he has lost,which makes him keep on playing more and more. He isn't gambling right.

I don't know how this can be settled but connect him with an addiction psychologist. Don't transfer certain funds to him,if he needs to pay for anything be the one to pay for it. If he wants to sell anything,let him sell what he owns don't allow him access to the family's stuffs.
He will surely calm down.

Let's still chill for the Elders tho

Bro... At this stage.. only God can help him. There's no level of talk or help any psychologist will be able to do for him. If the boy doesn't have any to change, he will not even if you ask Jeff Bezos to talk to him.

I have a friend who is currently in a debt of millions to five people.. I'm one of those he owes right now. Know what he did to all that money? Millions thrown into sporty bet.. There's no one his family has not called to talk to him.. he has been arrested several times by the others he owes... I have still not made a move yet.

His family gave him half a million to atleast send to the person who arrested him last week... Guess what he did?? Threw the money into bet again!!


Lol.. like I said.. only God can help the boy now

This reminds me of a guy in my undergraduate days. He was addicted to gambling. He used his pocket money to gamble and lost all. He went days without eating. He became a shadow of himself. One day, while he was rushing to meet up with a lecture or so, he fainted in front of the school admin block. Evert Tom and Jerry in school saw him. It was an international disgrace for him. Ever since that day, dude stopped gambling. He recently got married. If you pictures of his wedding on facebook, very sweet and posh.

If your brother is really addicted, I don't think you can really do anything about it. Until, he comes into a point, where he realizes the adverse effects of that gambling on his life, he won't stop. Gamblers believe they are smarter than everyone else, and that's their downfall. Because, they won't believe you, even when you give them a logical example of someone gambling has crumble. But, I wish your brother, can see a therapist, because most gamblers found adrenaline rush, in waiting for the rare outcome.
Re: Help: My Brother Is Addicted To Gambling by anslemarinze52(m): 8:31pm On Feb 21, 2022
It's not going to be easy bro....let him have the mindsets that he can never win no matter how sure the bets are.
And gather some elderly matured people and talk some senses into him. Let him know it can lead to depression and from there to suicide.

I was once in those shoes but God saved me through my friends

Hmmm because he’s young and stupid it will be hard to convince him or tech him how to stop bt u can start with making him realize it’s destroying his life and future.

Also Does he know/understand he has an addiction problem? Or he still thinks he’s in control of what he’s doing?? Cos right now he needs to understand he’s not controlling his actions bt allowing his addiction control him.

It’s not enough to show tough love u have to do it smartly and with the proper counseling.
