The impact gambling has on the brain's reward syst

The impact gambling has on the brain's reward system is so powerful that all you can really gain from the occasional win is a bigger loss of control.

When a person wins during gambling, the brain's reward system is stimulated, resulting in a large release of the neurotransmitter "dopamine" this response is at the root of many addictions and is one of the reasons addicts often feel they need more and more each time, whether it be substance use, gambling or any other activity that targets this addictive mechanism in the brain.

Big thank you to Niall from @new_dawnhealth for coming down and teaching us all how to be more mindful.

Mindfulness can be a power tool for someone dealing with addiction issues. Along with boosted mental clarity, improved mood, lowered stress and elevated cognitive function, mindfulness can allow a person to view their addiction from a different perspective, examine their triggers, better avoid relapse and focus on the positive aspects of their life.

The internet is full of easily accessible methods

The internet is full of easily accessible methods of gambling which can feel overwhelming to someone recovering from addiction. There are tools known as "site blockers" which work by restricting your access to specific gambling sites and some even allow you to add restriction to any website you feel you may need to take a break from.

These site blockers come in many different formats including; websites, apps, web browser extensions and downloadable programs. You may need to test a few different site blockers before you find one that suits your specific needs.

Here's a list of popular site blockers (paid and free options)

- https://www.gamstop.co.uk
- https://gamban.com
