I have been gambling since 2 years ago. Playing from casino sites to another casino sites. Win lose, win lose, win lose, many sleepless nights. One time somewhere 2018 i started to bet bigger than before. I got stressed out because of the bustings. I cant stop myself from playing. I just want to stop. Up until now, im still gambling and i cant stop myself from it. What will you do if you have situatiom something like this?

Welcome back bro, i have been there myself and i am on the process of moving on.
Remember that if you wanna quit it gambling, remember that is a process. Every addiction that will be stopped need to undergo to a process. It is a step by step move.
So here it goes, this is just an advice okay? Based on my experience
1. Accept that you have lost already. For sure the cause of non stop playing is that you have lost and running after it to get it back. STOP!  You have lost and betting more will have a great risk that you will add more to your loses.
2. Don't stop in an instant. For sure you have tried to stop but then again you came back. For worse you lose more, why? Because you've been itching to play. So you can still hang around play a little bit. Little by little only util you find a new hobby. Find a new hobby!
3. Open up your situation. It is good you have opened it here in btt but it is much better if someone you really know knows your situation. They can help you much better than any comments here.
4. Be advised by a professional counsels. Sometimes you need the help of the professionals (i went for an advice too) to cope up with this.
I have been there myself bro. Stopping is your choice. If you are willing to let go. Excessive gambling makes your life stressful. Good luck bro!

See a psychologist. You obviously have a gambling problem. Do it now before it gets any worse and ruins your relationship with your loved ones.

First thing first, better to move this to gambling discussion where it's appropriate hence you can also search some related threads about gambling addiction. Sorry but this has been discussed over and over.

But honestly, it's only you can make this change though it's hard at first but the result will be worth it. Good luck.

To add up you can see the move topic on the bottom of the page,if not then mods will do it.

This had been really discussed for a hundred times already.Addiction is the most common problem of gamblers leaving you wreck and comes back when you do
have funds again.How to avoid? Seek out help from family members and try as hard as you can to avoid anything that do involves gambling.

Good evening, we might not be the most designated to post this as we operate in that industry. However , requesting a full ban might work for you as well. If the website you play have such a way, please request it. The first step is to admit you have a problem.

There should be help sites/ organizations that address gambling addictions in your country, you can try Googling them.

Hey, mate for you to reduce that addiction. Go outside and smell some fresh air, Find other activities that will make you busy and not focus on gambling Make out with your friends. Or find a stable job, You can do it! Self-discipline is lacking to prevent these kinds of addiction.

Hey OP,
I just want to know about your experiences with fiat based gambling, I mean why you subject this discussion as "bitcoin gambling" ? I am sure you will get stressed out in the same manner even with fiat gambling too. More particularly I just want to make you realize that bitcoin has nothing to do with your frustrations nor with losses. It is just due to gambling and definitely NOT due to "bitcoin" gambling.

I had similar situation then I fell down in love with a pretty girl and now leading a happier married life. Look for some other thing which make you more interested.

Witiwiw  . this seems like a happy ending in your case but not in the op though this can also happen to him if he chooses to be a god guy  .

How can he look for the thing that will make him interested is he is already interested in gambling ?  Gambling is really addictive if you have lots of capital and if you dont control yourself but theres no point of quitting on it  . he just need to seek some mental health in order to lessesn the stress and addiction that he feels .

I will try to stop gambling no matter if it's hard for me. Maybe I will ask someone to help me to get out of the gambling industry. I am sure you have the power to control yourself and not just to stop for temporary but also to quit from gambling forever. You will need an effort to start to quit gambling.

I will try to make myself busy doing many things even if that thing is not important so I can prevent and block my minds to think about gambling. The difficulty that you might face is only to make the first step to not think about gambling, but after you can pass 7 days, I am sure it will not be too hard for you.

Please take time to realize where you are slipping down and what needs to be fixed. Remember you may get enough chances to recover all your gambling losses from any other business or from a day job too. Do not chase your losses within gambling. Out of your chases, you just got addicted and and made your losses into a big one. Accept your losses and look for some other earning methods.

Just wishing to stop will not help. Think by heart. Look for opportunities which are entertaining as well as paying you for your efforts. Intensive search may find a perfect solution for sure.

Wow, great to hear. Congratz mate! I guess this must be inspirational enough to OP.

I will make myself busy into something else and ask for some help from my family. its normal to feel like this especially if you are winning in gambling, but we know that the result of long term playing is a totally loss. Control yourself, its not too late for you to stop listen to us. Gambling is not good if you play like that.

But honestly, it's only you can make this change though it's hard at first but the result will be worth it. Good luck.

Playing gambling need a self discipline to go out from the addiction hard to quite by itself without of the help and support of the family and friends.

Funny to see those "typical" answers, like go see a shrink.

No, OP, before you see anyone - arrest your addiction.

How?

Make it impossible for you to bet, and if you can't - put fences around it, the more - the merrier.

This is how you educate yourself to stop betting, and thus you can focus on building a better life for yourself, but you have to put your addiction under arrest (just like a cop puts a civilian under arrest), once it's locked - it's locked, you won't be able to release it so quickly, it will require to pass the fences you build.

For example - self exclusion, keep your money with your loved ones so you won't be able to spend it - any website that causing you problem contact the site and ask for permanent account closure without the ability to reopen the account etc.

Dude, you need to rest. Take some deeper sleeps first so you can think properly. It's one reason why you have always been triggered to gamble although you've been losing a lot. Taking a rest will surely help you to have that set of mind and it will make you calm.

It helped me whether it's with gambling or with my job, it will soothe you from stress. It may not go an instant for you but as long as you can stop it within a day or two, repeat and you will be able to help yourself. Go outside and find some outdoor activities that will help you to use your time on it.

Try to give yourself a limit including your money, time and energy. Lets say you used to gamble with $1,000 so reduce it to $500 then reduce it again and again. In case of the frequency, if you used to gamble daily then reduce it to twice a week or once a week and so on. It will be very hard to stop suddenly, so I suggest you step by step to stop. Actually once you say "I cant stop myself", there is still a little hope to stop because you say that you want to stop. Use this little hope wisely, wash your mind and think about other things except gambling. At least try to stay away from anything related gamble one by one.

It is a good thing that you acknowledge that gambling has stressed you ou and you want to quit. In this case though you need help from family and friends first, if they help you good, if you still can't quit you should then seek professional help from dedicated centers that deal with this problem.

You can stop anytime, and I am sure you can. You only need to say that you want to stop and use your time for doing another thing. Leave your computer, hang out with your family or friends and create the best time with them will be a good solution for you. I know that it will be hard for you, but you must try it for yourself.

I will never stop trying to quit gambling if I know that gambling can ruin myself. I will search and try a thousand way to make myself stop playing gambling and gladly, now I don't gamble in every day because I can stop thinking about gambling. You can do that, just believe yourself, never give up for stop gambling, think about the people's you loved, and I am sure they will help you to stop from gambling.

Wake up mate. Gambling isnt sure win. If you always chase to win, you will end up more lost most specially if you wanted to get back what you have lost. The tendency is that you will continue to bet not realizing that you will lost more because of this. If you feel lost for the day, just keep it there and play again if you have extra.

First of all, before you stop yourself from gambling you must have a mindset of stopping really from gambling. Its easy to say that you will stop but your brain is telling you to gamble. You must change your mindset first and then you might consult to a psychologist maybe. You must think of another ways to spend your time so that you can forget gambling. Spend time with your family or relatives. Play games if you want. Travel if you have spare money. Anything that you can do so that you can forget gambling. It will help you.

Ohh god,Go and ramp yourself on wall for two times and get realize that you are hurting your mind as much as it hurts now. :'(

You want to stop right and tell yourself that you are not going to gamble anymore if you are not able to control the go for a rehabilitation centre for addiction which may give the counselling needed for overcoming this addiction but you need to stop it immediately I think.

Gambling is not a crime . its not illegal nor bad  but it can cause addiction if a person is already hooked in the game and cannot somehow recover anymore but this can be corrected  . at some point of his life he can still play gambling but thats okay  .

In my case im also an addict before but not in gambling . it was on video gaming  . good thing i recovered from it but i cannot totaly quit it .  i just only play once or twice a week or a month in moderation because games was not bad or illegal , same thing also happen to gambling or to an addicted gambler .

Among all of these posts above this is what I found a realistic advice. I can not add anything more.

I have been there once. I did not keep money in my pocket, I gave my bank account/password to my partner, I gave the bank card to her. I closed all available options I had online.

Fun fact it that after closing an account online I asked them to re-open it for me. It pissed me off that they did not open it for me but later I realized that they did the correct thing.

So, you are an addicted gambler. There is almost no way to get out of it. I only hope you spend your time with friends, go on travel, meet with someone whom you love the most. Otherwise you will lose everything you have now.

If you want to stop gambling then you have to force yourself not to do it again even with a little money. Don't touch gambling related goods and find other activities that you can enjoy best! If you have the intention to quit gambling but you are still in the gambling environment, it will be more difficult to do so.

That’s a serious problem that you have to do your best to get out yourself from falling hard. Gambling is too addicting, you’ve made a bad habit before and you should improve yourself. If i’m on your position i will seek for the advice of my friends, and my family it will help a lot.

I wouldn't say such words that can discourage him with his way out of addiction. I can see that he already admitted it and it's part of quitting, you need to admit first that you have the problem and it will go through a process. Suggestions made are helpful but its up to you Chatbot on what will be effective on your side. Travelling will be a good alternative but make sure that you won't travel to the places where gambling is too bold and has casino's on the side.

Thank you man. I will try my really best
Thankfully i posted it. I have no one to talk to about it since i came from a family where they see gambling that is so bad and unethical. Ill gather up enough courage to tell. I wish it works. I really appreciate this. Goodness im about to cry lol sniff*
It might be a topic over and over again but me posting it, maybe im just seeking salvation.

From this level of addictions, best to also have some medications seek help from psychiatrist, admitting your problem can be use as a first step to address your issue, bringing it out from your close friends and relatives will give you some good guidance, help coming from different people while dealing with
experts opinions will fasten the process.

It can be solve step by steps as long as you are willing to cooperate and listen.

OP, I strongly believe your gambling addiction problem is half solved since you can identify the fact you have a problem. Learn to relieve unpleasant feeling in healthier ways, particularly if you use to gamble when you are lonely or bored then the way out will be for you to spend time with friends who do not gamble, go out for exercise and church activities in other for you take your mind off gambling.

Immediately to have new activities in your social life that will keep you away from the internet, because bitcoin gambling will definitely be done in the internet world. By having a strong effort to quit, I'm sure you can slowly get out. It doesn't matter if you come back again, but with a lot of experience you have, you should have good control not to continue gambling with greed. Leaving addiction is difficult if there is no strong effort on yourself.

I believe that your desires for gambling has reached the level of addiction and it is good you visit a professional addict breaker in other to be able to overcome this addiction.  I played gambling for fun and not to become rich.  It is good we understand this in other to be able to manage our emotions.

Addicted fellow in gambling are the most impossible human to be change as a matter of fact some of us are equally addicted to gambling. Though am also addicted but control my emotions whenever am in the arena of gamblers, this has been made possible for me because i choose to be the change i wanted to be in the world.

Those suggestions might not work for him or her if such individual choose not to be the change he or she wanted!.

Some people will easily get attracted by the gambling field because the way that itself made by the nature is being like that so if you are getting very interested in gambling you need to be more careful and that because without any limitation gambling will definitely get addicted to you then all the next plan that you are being made by you will definitely not working for most of the people.

I know its hard to put a stop line for gambling after getting addicted to it. If I am in the same situation, I would take a decision not to gamble. To implement it successfully, I will keep myself busy and try to find some other entertainment or build something useful. I will make my wife or family members to be in charge of my money. Hence, I could stop money loss. If I am experiencing depression or psychological breakdown due to gambling addiction then, I will go and see a psychologist.

If you want to quit, do it as soon as possible.

Hey that’s a sad story and I totally understand what you’re going through, I was like you during my initial gambling days I started with small bets and suddenly those small bets turned into huge bets. I would advise you to find a friend and confess to him about your addiction, give your money to your family members for safe keeping and most importantly tie your money to goals you wish to achieve. Lastly if nothing works for you then you need to seek out professional help, from the links I found listed at Bitdice:

1) https://gamblinghelp.org/

2) https://www.helpguide.org/

3) https://www.ncpgambling.org/

I'm not sure what I will be doing if they have got addicted to gambling. Most probably I might have opted for hearing opinion from this community unlike you after a long struggle with gambling. I mean I would have come here at hand to hear opinion from this community before I am fighting and struggling with my addictions.

I am also not a successful gambler because I also have lost big amounts with gambling in my years long gambling career. But, honestly I'm not trying to recover my losses only from gambling but I am having lots of income streams and I never bother about my losses in gambling.

I think quitting your gambling journey will not be the end for your stress because you need to reduce the gambling interest very very slowly then only it will leave your mind and take some good ideas to make your lifestyle more peaceful otherwise you will not get out from this field at any time.

Yes you are right gambling is the most stressful thing that I have ever seen in my life because it's you lots of happiness and also equally lots of sadness after entering into it so handling the gambling will more difficult than any other job so we need to make it more easier if we had some limitations in gambling.

Yeah, no need to re-create the topic. So many threads addressing this problem. Just don't be lazy and try reading those threads. You might gain insights from those previously gambling addicts that might also change your life. But yes, it is only and only you that can help this situation. You need to have a motivation why you are doing this. And you need to stick to your plans.

There's no constant profit in gambling, don't hope that you'll get rich in gambling. I know it's really hard and sometimes you're becoming broke but that's the reality, you need to risk more to win a huge profit.


I agree, there's a lot of thread that is about addiction and depression on gambling, just try to interact with other threads next time.

Perhaps you are gambling games like dice games, roulette wheel, slot machine, and etc. where your opponent is the house edge/computer which will give you less chanes of winning. Try to play casino and your mind set will be altered and you'll never feel streested in Bitcoin gambling again.

That is why proper moderation in playing gambling is a must. You must control yourself and do not let playing gambling control you. Treat gambling only as a game and not a part of your life like you can't complete a day without playing gambling. Maybe lessen your exposure into playing gambling. If you can't, better set your mindset that you are playing gambling just to enjoy. Start up again into low bets not just to pressure yourself of loosing money because you just bet a little amount. That is what I am doing into the  online casino (https://to.crwd.cr/smtm) I am currently up to wherein I am just enjoying varieties of games with no pressure attach because a game must be enjoyed not meant to destroy yourself.

I agree. I never win in such dice games, and etc. That's why, I love playing such casino games. Specially with my friends.

Ofcourse, playing casino games (https://to.crwd.cr/smtm) are funnier when you're with your companions, friends or relatives. It gives you an enthusiasm which you won't feel if you play alone and trying to defeat the house edge.

The important thing is to eliminate the goal of winning or gaining profit in gambling. that's what makes you never stop playing gambling, because you will continue to pursue it while you may not necessarily win and profit, because in gambling all can happen

First you need to realize that you will never win in gambling, start to decrease your gambling time and try new thing, you need to distract your mind from gambling, if you already start to bet bigger and bigger its mean you already addicted, so it's time to stop gambling or change your mindset about gambling

This has been the struggle of each gamblers either addicted or occasional gamblers

Its really hard to chase the losses and this is the reason why people becomes more addicted and losing all that we've got.

I guess what you need to have is realization on whatis really wrong,and what can you do to make it right again.i believe you should ask you wife/husband or the most closest person to us,trust me thats a big help if you will accept their advices

It is really hard to avoid playing gambling especially if you are already hooked into that game and at the same time addicted already. On that situation, if I were also in that position, for sure I already don't have money at the moment and I am a person that is realizing from mistakes and that mistakes will definitely change my life and maybe after that realization, I will surely stop in that addiction and will change my hobby and search for another way to make myself not bored instead of playing gambling in casinos.

We can't say that we will never win in gambling because the probability of happening is always there but the fact need to realize that it is important to continue to gambling activities or not even after these much of lost amounts.

I think it's a good idea, sometimes in a game it will be very difficult to end up winning if what you are against is a house, but if you just have fun it doesn't matter. but if you chase a win then fight with someone, like playing poker with someone else. Your chances of winning will be more greater

If I experience what you have experienced, maybe I will go to a psychologist. That's because the addiction you have experienced is very hard, and it is impossible to stop it yourself. This requires the help of others, besides psychologists may be able to ask for help from people around you to stop you. Moreover, you have gambled around 2 years and it has become a habit, this is very difficult to get rid of and will definitely need help to get rid of this addiction. If you can do it yourself, you can exercise control in your gambling. Like doing gambling once a week and with the amount of money you have set. This will slowly make your addiction disappear little by little.

There's some percentage that you will be able to win, but chances of taking much higher risk is in stake, if you can't control yourself better not to play, too much engagement will hit up your addictions, you can stop this when you are ready to ask for help and allow your love ones to guide you and help you up.

Yes, this problem has been addressed many time. The conclusion is that you need to plan your gambling games and money involved in order to better recover from loses.



Well, if you keep on losing then surely you will be stressed and it does not matter if you play casino or dice. As long as you are wining , you are good to go.

No one will complain until they remain successful. But, gambling is known for changing our positions upside-down within the blink of our eye. I bet no gambler will be able to avoid stress as they cannot be winning all the times. Even they are able to see winning and losing moments in cycle, they will turn stressed as they want to minimize the occurrences of losses.

What would be the exact solution then ?
It might be possible if gamble with light heart and no goal set. Gamble with limit and no break down of emotions. When we gamble like a robot with preset characteristics then we may get opportunities to skip those stressful gambling experiences.

Maybe the OP is new in gambling and he has first time experienced such a big loss which make him take such steps. Anything if done in excessive amounts (addiction), will make you stressful. Secondly you should make up your mind that in case of loss you will not regret. If you can face the loss, only then you should gamble.

Lol, how many sleepless nights you have? Specially going home for a big lost, damn it was one of the biggest feeling you can get and then once you are in the bed thinking what went wrong and then the next day you go out again and lose and it repeats over and over again until such time that you got sick because of the stressed.

It is better if you have to control your money from someone whom you can trust to hold it for you or better find a time lock vault which can help you to keep you from taking that money on a certain period. Of course, it has to start with yourself first if you really want to quit because some of us would really want to quit but fooling their selves because they don't really want to quit.

Most people that have a problem like that would eventually stop if something horrible could happen. e.g. bankruptcy, losing everything, in debt etc.

Seems you are going through gambling addiction. The best thing for you now is to learn to quit and  learn self control. Gambling should never be seen as a career. I guess this is where many addicts lost it.
You headline is a bit misleading though.

I'll keep on going if I feel comfortable to do that, but if I'm not comfortable then I have to find pathway to eschew from casino site and other thing that will go there. The solution is only on you, don't hunger a solutions from someone else if you are comfortable with what you do because it will be useless. Do what you think is comfortable, the term of addict does not always have a negative meaning.

In my experience when I started gambling at first I don't noticed that I'm losing at all since I'm having fun and when I won one time I started to invest bigger amounts for a bigger win and after losing it all I want to do now is to recover all my lost but still keeps losing and now when everything is gone two things came up to my mind.

1. All the money/cryptos that I lost in gambling.... I will stop it now.
2. All the money/cryptos that I lost in gambling.... I will recover it.

and if the case is no.2 below is the best answer for you to control yourself.

It's the best thing to do, instead of investing again to gambling/casino why don't you just invest or save some money to have a consultation with a professional psychologist to help you with your gambling addiction... If you know your life was ruined by gambling and you keep playing there's a chance that it would damage you more.

But here the user severly affected from gambling addiction which is highly negative.

Need to see someone who can help him out by changing his mind from the gambling way like girl or friends or some close family members.

You need to go in with a mindset that you will be fine if you lose the amount you are betting.  If you are stressed out then you are clearly betting too much and should walk away.

Gambling will always been very stressful job because if we take it serious job it will definitely gives a lots of stress and difficult situation that to handle so if you are doing it for your entertainment purpose then it will not be in stressful for you but all of us will taking at a serious job that's why it happens.

These 2 points that you mentioned are not so easy to diagnose since this is the primary reason why so many gamblers tend to lose money in the short term as well as the long term.

Going to a psychologist, spending time with family and friends etc will help a bit, but the only way to actually cure this problem is to force oneself to stop gambling completely and never break this promise which is easier said than done.

The suggestion of someone else cannot be used as a horseblock for him, he can get out of this situation only by himself. As I said before, find some ways to induce of things that make him close to gambling. He can spend a lot of money to go wherever he wants, meet lots of people and as much as possible don't keep quiet. He can change it if he really wants to do it, so he can interpret gambling according to the experience he felt before.

Quickly to have new exercises in your public activity that will fend off you from the web, on the grounds that bitcoin betting will be done in the web world. By having a solid exertion to stop, I'm certain you can gradually get out. It doesn't make a difference on the off chance that you return once more, however with a ton of experience you have, you ought to have great control not to keep betting with voracity. Leaving enslavement is troublesome if there is no solid exertion on yourself.

I do understand how much stressed you are today and you are seeking for a piece of advice to help you with your gambling issue. Lots of people actually experiencing the same situation as you but don't worry. Acceptance, acceptance is the only thing you can actually initiate and for you to be able to move on. After the acceptance, go ahead and learn to forgive yourself from the wrongs you have done. It's the past
you have learned your lesson.

The third process is actually this one, sharing it to others and seek advises from the people who had the same situation but managed to overcome it. The last thing, stop gambling. Greed is the partner of gambling. The reason why you bet money is because you know that money can be gained in gambling easily. Greed = shortcuts or dead end. So you have to be careful.

From now, you have debts pay it first. Once you have cleared yourself out of your debts, go ahead and invest with the real assets. Stop gambling and love what you have today.

It isn't a very stressful thing and you shouldn't treat it as a job. That's where the wrong decision starts when someone treats it as a job, it doesn't matter if you really are working for a casino but if you gamble and treat that as your main source of living and you are considering it as a job then for me it's a very wrong thing to do. This is the reason why there are too many gamblers fell with, when they can't recover much and thinking it's their very source of income.

You need someone to help you because you can't stop by yourself. You need support. You can get some from us on the forum but this won't change your ways you need someone in the real life to watch you and not let you gamble. If you have a spouse or parents ask them to take over your bank account and crypto wallet and make sure you don't have access to gambling sites.

I agree with this.

I mean why would be gambling in the first place if you are really stressed out? If you are stressed out then I think you are not addicted and there is a way to stop it. Finding a will to stop is one of the best ways to do it. Think about your family, if you have your own family think about your wife, your children; if you don't think about your parents how disappointed they will be at you. You might not be the same person as myself but I think we still all have that conscience somewhere inside us and we should use always use that.

Its not that hard to quit just stop playing the casino games!!
If you keep talking about gambling you will have a hard time stopping.

It is not hard ? Haha bro you have no idea what gambling addiction really is. It's not as easy as 1  2 3

This is a very bad situation if you need to seek medical counselling to treat your addiction to gambling.
I am sure many people who start gambling is in the same spot as you are but learn to quit before it goes to far.
But as you mentioned it got out of hand by placing bets with large amounts instead of keeping them smaller.
I think this is where many go wrong with their gambling and the point it gets out of hand.
I hope you have learned and will recover from your bout of addiction in the near future.

Feel sorry for you and you are lucky it is only 2 years though.
There are some people here who have been gambling for half their lifes and have lost.
Even myself not much a gambler but to lose anything more than a meal worth is an upsetting mood for me. 

Right. In a play, you must not be stressed out because games must be enjoyed with no pressure since games are just for fun and entertainment to relieve stress and not to add up as a burden. I think I like to know those varieties of games you were playing into that online casino of yours.

It is ok,you’ll find the answer if you started to starvation so as your family,becase a gambling addict don’t take advices instead they do what they wanna do.

If you really want to be helped then tell your wife/husband or your mother/father of someone closest to you about the situation and hear them say,follow them and for sure you’ll be safe there

Indeed. Enjoyment is a must have with no pressure attached because we do playing to entertain ourselves and not the other way around. You will surely like the variety of games you can play in this  online casino (https://to.crwd.cr/smtm) and an opportunity of receiving a great bonus once you have done your first deposit.

You don't understand the situation of OP and other people who have been dealing with this problem. Gambling addiction is a serious problem that you will suggest something that sounds good to your ear but it isn't really good to the person involved.

You can talk the way you are confident with the solution but the reality speaks that you don't have an idea on what they are going through right now.

Gambling is one of the worst addictions and it can't be cured easily. If you do not have the willpower and personality to stop gambling by yourself, you should seek some proffesional help and go on some therapy. Realising your losses and knowing the problems gambling has made is a first step as many people don't even know that they're just falling deeper.

I was addicted many years ago and was able to control my emotions when it come to gambling, so, any individual addicted to gambling can also do likewise. When one cannot control his/her emotions, even the psychologist cannot help such a fellow, that's why you should not be involve in gambling addiction.

I am sure we can control the emotion but the problem is sometimes we forget how to control his/her emotion, so it makes him/her lose control. I think that will depends on how strong your mind to prevent your emotion to explode because it can cause you to lose everything. If you want to quit gambling, then you will need a strong mind that is always telling you to stay away from gambling.

Every person want and expect that he can control his emotions, but when time comes they forget everything. Its not so easy to continue to control our emotions every time. Sometime convincing ourselves to continue playing gambling so as to recover our lost or to make more profit we lose our emotion which in fact become a big problem for us.

I think that it is important that while visiting a casino we should have a limited amount of money and should try to play gambling with the money that we have. After losing that money we should try to quit and should not take loan from any person there.

I honestly think that's not a "typical" answer. What's typical is "just stop gambling."

Seeing a shrink means seeking expert help. Shrinks are in the best position to tell one addicted to gambling where the problem lies and how to go about it step by step (as gambling addiction may be treated on a case-to-case basis).

I believe consulting a psychologist is always better than getting not some non-whole-hearted advice from random people who sometimes just play expert (and never even really got to study serious cases of addiction unlike psychologists who did).

I'll figure out what is wrong with me. It's hard to get rid of that if I used to be like that for a long time. However, by doing other stuffs like playing online games instead gambling could be the solution to keep my attention less in gambling.

Congratulations for understanding the fact that you are addicted and it's good that you want to quit the addiction. Get professional help from any experienced Psychiatrist and take the medicines to control and relax your anxiety. That's the best way to come out from gambling addiction. Otherwise, find a day job and keep yourself busy. Have fun with friends and if you have a girlfriend, have sex multiple times a week. It is very relaxing treatment and I am sure a Psychiatrist will also say the same thing. It may sound odd, but sex is very helpful to come out of any kind of addiction! Our brain releases a hormone called "oxytocin" during sex and it helps to relax your nerves as well as your anxiety. All the best!

Problems like these, you may want to address it to your family, relatives, and close friends so you could ask them for assistance and support. Breaking any habit requires extreme patience, motivation, and determination as it involves your mental capacity to decide what is right for your current situation. If you are supporting your family, think of them as your strength to overcome this addiction. Think the future of your children and your relationship with your loved ones as it they are affected by the looks of it.
If you are supporting only yourself, think about your own future 2-3 years from now if you do not break your addiction. There is always that potential danger that you may be bankrupt or even cause mental stress that would eventually lead to suicide.


Any kind of addiction is very difficult to stop especially if it becomes part of your daily routine. It is advisable that OP might want to seek help from his loved ones and he also needs time to think about his current situation.
Everything is on the mind- exercise your free will to think and to decide what is best for you.
In addition, try to substitute your addiction to something recreational like: going to the movies, taking a walk outside, going to church, or even by just watching television. As much as possible, he needs to keep himself busy and distracted and it will only be possible by asking for help.

you can always get so many pieces of advice here and yes, most of them are really not the bold step he's looking for
psychologists will help him understand why he's keeping himself addicted to gambling and understand whats really going on in his mind
we cant really give a good piece of advice to a person we dont know.

That's a good first step I think. replacing gambling with another activity, like gaming, could very well work.
I know that when I took an extended break from gambling, I just worked more and in my free time I would just play multiplayer games.

This won't work for everyone though and it's important to just be honest with yourself, seek professional help when you know you can't manage to quit on your own.

This is the problem with people in general, they simply don't want to understand other people's situations. Like they say, you need to walk in another person's shoes to understand them, and even then we cannot possibly understand fully, which is why empathy and education plus awareness is really important.

Try to understand that we are not all built the same way. Everyone has a different approach to gambling and habits, and some find it harder than others to do what's useful. People need to just get that into their heads.

I also began to notice that I was dependent on trading on stock exchanges.
However, the exchanges are different from online casinos. On the exchanges you can not lose all your money to 0.
You'd better look for something where you could experience the same emotions, but without losing large amounts of money. Try yourself in the trade.

Being honest must be a practical approach because cheating ourselves will not hep in the progress of quitting addictions. In other words, we can say that we must show some dedication for quitting gambling. When we are willing to quit by heart then the chances for quitting will be really high. Unfortunately most gamblers are starting the process of quitting only due to the compulsion of their family members or due to lack of enough funds to continue gambling. In this case, I guess no one prefer quitting by full heartedly.

Honesty works everywhere hence it must work in the process of quitting gambling too. Only when we are honest to quit gambling, our family members will come forward to help us to engage ourselves with some other entertainments which is more important to deviate our mindset by not remembering about gambling.

This has been talked many times and almost the same advice has been given and of course the same result. Still gambler continue to play. Others can only give advice and the rest is up to you. Only you can help yourself. Wether you take others advice or let your greediness continue to eat you. Focus on other things like what I did. Much better if it's outside activity.

True, you can keep on reading advises and replies here but it's still up to you how to take it and how to manage applying it with your life, if you have a strong will and you still have social life better to move your attentions to other things that can keep you busy, with how you take your gambling activities
already showed how deep your engagement inside gambling.

I will admit any sort of addiction is hard to quit. You just can't "quit" with the snap of a finger. Honestly, the best thing is that you actually realized you are are addicted and you need help. That's the very first thing that helps to quit. One needs to admit that he is addicted and needs help. The best thing to do is go cold turkey. Stay away from all sorts of gambling related stuffs. Even advertisements. Don't play on casinos with virtual currency. Tell someone is close to you to keep an eye on you.

Or gamblers (especially the online ones) could use some smart wallet that locks itself once certain amounts of money has been exhausted. Example: a gambler deposits $200 to play the dice game.  He can set the maximum withdrawal on the wallet at $50. Once it reaches it, the wallet locks.

Gambling is a place where you can profit, but it also makes gambling seniors gaming them in the gambling, no matter how extreme the financial situation is.
