The Importance Of "Mother Tongue" Language In Gambling Recovery

When a person becomes ill as a result of gambling too much their mind has become of their own design, in a manner that causes their addictive process of thinking to be triggered by gambling or as a result of thinking about gambling.

“Addiction” is often thought of in a negative context – however it is also important to realize that when addictive thinking is effectively redirected into a balanced environment it can be converted into a positive and healthy thinking process.

In the situation of a troubled gambler, the gambler engages into a relationship with “lady luck” by assigning the essential human desire of hope a mother figure type role, in their life and livelihood. For this reason it becomes important to connect with the gamblers train of thinking in their mother tongue language.

When the ill effected gambler becomes dependent on the outcome of gambling, to the extent of enabling the outcome of gambling to determine the food, clothing or shelter they can or cannot afford, he/she has become dependent on lady luck as their means of survival. nn-----------------------------------------------------------------

During the process of engineering the “21 Steps to STOP Gambling System and Workbooks” it was important to recognize that to help a troubled gambler “help themselves” effectively the tool being used in treatment would have to be designed to cause the problem gamblers perceptions related to gambling and the prospect of gambling, to change.

By enabling the ill gambler to learn from a curriculum designed in the clients “mother-tongue” language, and primary language base for thinking and perceptions, their perceptions can be reconstructed – to resemble the thinking that a non-gambler uses.

By unlea
ing how to gamble and learning how to choose to not want to gamble, the ill gambler develops a healthier way of thinking that enables him or her to regain control over their ability to overcome and diminish their attraction to gambling and the prospect of gambling. n
If an ill gamblers surrounding perceptions do not change, the gambler remains addicted to the thought of winning and a form of mental entrapment occurs causing denial to take effect and making it severely difficult to overcome adversity.

In summary the gambler remains conce
ed with how to obtain money to give to the house. In cases of failed recovery the gambler remains committed to problem identification, by prolonging the process of; quitting followed by relapse.

With the increase of internet gambling, seniors gambling, youth gambling, and more access to gambling it is becoming increasingly important for households, employers and communities to develop the state of mental clarity and healthy mental balance that is required to recognize; the odds of losing are in the gamblers favor, and the odds of winning are orchestrated to support the gambling venue.
