When the gambling problem is analyzed, the first things that are explored are the addiction causes. There have always been some events or some thoughts that have led to the greatest wish to go to a casino, and these factors may be:

• An Event, that foregoes gambling (loneliness, unpleasant feelings, even a fight);
• Different thoughts that a person could have during some event (I'll certainly win, if I play at this moment, or I feel much better, when I'm in the casino etc.);
• Different feelings, which tend to decide a level of gambling desire;
• Behavior of the exact gambler;
• Consequences of such behavior, which may be different and negative (bankruptcy, money loss, shame etc.).

You will be manipulating the events and, as soon as you begin to think in a different way, you'll become a master in reacting towards your own behavior and you'll be in power to change it to better.
