Gambling Addiction
How to overcome it from a Spiritual Perspective!
Dear Readers, Starseeds & Lightworkers,
We have received this channelled message from Spirit concerning a Gambling Addiction. This is an insidious problem that can ruin your relationships, make you poor and lower your self-esteem. We ask you to read through the advice with an open heart and mind. And we hope that you will with Spirit’s help, overcome your addiction!
Question 1. Help! I’m a gambler and addicted to poker machines. This is ruining my life. Any spiritual advice?
Answer 1. A very interesting problem. This is what we received from Spirit and our own general knowledge. “Gamblers (particularly those who use poker machines) often release certain hormones into their bodies while engaging in the gambling activity. This is like a chemical cocktail, which can alternately calm you down and produce a spacey 4th dimensional feeling or produce an euphoric excited feeling. Hormones involved include endorphins, serotonin (emotional stability), dopamine (well being), phenylethylamine (excitement levels) and noradrenalin (makes you feel you can accomplish anything).
With such a strong concoction of feel good hormones, it is no wonder that you soon become addicted! Small wins on the poker machines add to the feeling of euphoria. The dim lighting of most clubs, flashing lights, neon lights etc. also stimulate melatonin in your blood stream which adds to the feel good concoction pumping through your veins. The action of pressing buttons or pulling the poker machine lever is hypnotic in effect. Thus time becomes distorted and money and surroundings become meaningless.
If you were a billionaire, you would not have a huge downside! But since most people aren’t billionaires, financial problems caused by endless streams of dollars disappearing into “one arm bandit” slots to support the gambling addiction, soon result in financial woes and depression. Of course the more depressed you are - the more potent the feel good hormone cocktail feels, until eventually you will do anything to maintain it, just like a heroin addict! Family, job and ethics, all go by the board - all you want is the gambling fix! Does this sound like you?
Add to this the amazing fact that you’ve more than likely, set this scenario up before you incarnated, as a huge emotional block for you to overcome and you have a huge problem. But it’s not insurmountable. Otherwise you wouldn’t have set it up as a test for yourself. There is always an answer and a solution. That is how the Universe works.
How can you overcome this gambling addiction and get your life back on track? These are Spirit’s and our own suggestions-
1. Accept that you are addicted.
2. Agree that you want to be free of the addiction.
3. Be prepared to try anything to be free of it.
4. Realise that you are suffering depression and may need some chemical help from a doctor, such as mild anti-depressants to overcome your depression initially.
5. Realise that you are addicted to the hormone rush and feeling of contentment caused by the hormone cocktail not just the actual gambling.
6. The contented spacey feeling you experience can be substituted by learning meditation and increasing the spiritual content in your life. You will then achieve this feeling naturally as you rise up to the 4th dimension.
7. Finding your Life Plan and World plan will help you to understand firstly why this problem has been presented to you and why you have incarnated to earth. These are the real missions you set yourself before incarnating – to help humanity and the planet!
8. Live your Life and World Plans. This will be so satisfying and make you both exhilarated and contented, that gambling addiction will feel very inferior.
9. Ask your personal guides for help in overcoming your addiction.
10. Ask that in your dream state these things are explained to you and you also receive celestial guidance on these matters.
11. Begin to value other things in your life. You have made the addiction central to everything.
12. Change your lifestyle if necessary. Be daring! What have you got to lose? Create the life you want!
13. Have faith. Realise everything happens for a purpose. You can overcome this addiction. Speak to others who have successfully overcome the gambling fever. Gain their support and help.
Blessings to you!”
May you overcome your addiction.
