How can one control the uncontrollable urge to keep gambling despite the toll it takes on once life.

It's getting worse every day. I'm extremely depressed I have thoughts of unaliving myself more often, some times I feel the betting companies manipulate people spiritually to get them addicted where be playing without plans and strategy. Once a bet place get cut, there is this uncomfortable urge to quickly book another one with the plans of recovering the first money lost but it will end up cutting again.

it's simple....but without self determination, it's the hardest decisions to make.... everything lies in your mind and how disciplined you may become.. embark on a daily record-taking routine - which would mostly be about 'how much lose over how much gain' you've made already.. try as much as possible to SEE THAT THE ONLY INTEREST IN GAMBLING IS HURDLING THROUGH LOSES, EMOTIONAL INSTABILITIES,DAMAGES..ETC . just for some nugatory wins that might never come...yes, it is totally pointless!!
There are no spiritual connections.... How do you even think anyone can bewitch you through some gaming sites?

If you are like this and gambling is making money from you so much in a way it can not help your financial life, you just need to stop gambling. If you are able to stop gambling for a year, you are having control over your addiction already.

But before you make that decision, you can make 1 to 5% of your weekly income to be for gambling and it should not be more than that. Do not touch the remaining 95 to 99%. If you can do this successfully, no need to quit. But if you are unable and still spending more than your weekly gambling budget, then quit gambling for a long time like a year.

Don’t gamble at an amount that you can’t afford to lose. Set your own betting budget, when it’s all used up, then leave the casino house immediately. There’s always that uncontrollable urge but if you let that urge control and manipulate you, you will only end up having a financial mess so it’s better to get rid of that or control that as much as possible.

Gambling is certainly a good source of fun and pleasure, but it only gets bad when you let yourself fall into it and worst fall into its addiction.

Since you have been faced with this situation, and you already know the impact it has made on your general well being, I think it do better to continue with a self deciding well informed decision to quite gambling by all means and also by so doing, you will have to separate yourself from allot things and people that may likely push you to slide back into your worst state of present conditions.
But I have faith that you will eventually get out of all of this and becoming a stronger person, since you are still aware of the impact of gambling addiction on your life and making deliberate attempt to get out of it on the long run.

The OP should think of other activities that he think can motivate him to alter his lifestyle.
It is not too late to change, now that he recognized he has a gambling disorder.
When you are about to place another bet after a loss, think of something you believe will be in jeopardy like -
 - bills to pay, food for the table, kids/spouse relying on you and other important facets in your life.
This is not the way to resolve your situation. There are better ways to look at your life and be worthwhile to your loved ones.

I hunk we have an extreme case of gambling addiction here.

It’s not an else thing to get rid of but if you can keep a healthy lifestyle you’ll surely be abl to contro yourself and subsequently stop it totally…
-> the first thing I’ll advice you to do is to try to stay away from your gambling accounts or perhaps start by reducing the time you spend in your gambling account, it will help you become conscious of your gambling activities and you won’t be fully engulfed in it.

-> another thing is to look for a group where you can talk to people, just look for one around your area so that you can just talk about your gambling habits and try to comfort yourself in their presence – not only will it help you think of more productive activities it will also help you take off your mind from gambling.

-> look for a hubby, this one has helped me in some other addiction I had it works wonder, it remove your mind from gambling. And also try not to stay in a secluded area, like the popular saying goes ”an idle mind is the devil’s playground” just make sure you occupy yourself with one activity or another – it could be reading of books.

-> Seek the help of a professional: I’m not a professional, so everything I’ve written are based on what I might have read or heard someone say about how they got rid of it but only a professional would know how to tackle your case and resolve it properly – so do well to locate one and let them conduct therapy for you.

Get help. If you are felling depressed and you are not getting fun out of gambling because it has turned into something negative in your life, then self-exclude yourself from some months and talk about your problem with someone you can trust such personal information.
You are not supposed to seek to recover money you already lost to the casino and use money which is not supposed to be gambled in the first place.
Research about help centers or numbers you can call to get in contact with groups who deal with problem gambling. Search help in your local spiritual community or talk to your family.
If you can afford to see a mental health professional then do not hesitate to do it, those are the kinds of problems which are not supposed to be ignored for long time, but rather to be tackled as soon as you can.

I sincerely wish you luck and strength.

it is what we have in mind that really motivate us to venture into gambling ordinary we cannot take gambling serious because we really know the implications but due to greediness and the Conscience of making money that is why we don't like to forbid gambling instead we continue to gamble in order to make more money, most of the reasons why people get addicted in gambling it's not that they don't have money but due to what they have spent in gambling they want to recover all with the immediately and with such reason they get addicted fully in gambling

The most common man will have a desire to play the game of gambling in once in life,it’s like the drinking desire of the common person.If they get satisfied with the game,it was easy to understand the importance of the game.When the dollars in the gambling site was started to reduce in the wallet,the gamblers should not get panic of losing the everything.The gambling should be trusted in a right way,because the gambling will give another chance to the gamblers to recover the loss.Only if the gamblers were tried to recover their loss by using the performance.The gambling site never make the people to get addicted,it was mistake made by gamblers in real.

In additional:

Just stop to gamble.

Find something doing instead of gambling. Once you are doing another things, you will not want to gamble. Do not be idle.

If those are not helping, read about the bad news of people that are gambling addicts. You will not like their ending and this can make you change.

If you do not change, you need to go for rehabilitation and medical help.

Seeking professional help will go a long way helping you save you from such a situation most times it's not about any spiritual manipulation but simply addiction at it's chronic stage and that's why you sometimes feel depressed when you have not satisfied the urge that comes with such addiction and sadly no amount of wins will keep you away from it either.

Visit a therapist, psychologist or a psychiatrist depending on any of which if available around you and you can afford it, don't have the mindset that you are been manipulated into doing that which you are doing as such mindset will foster your gambling habit,as much as possible make that conscious decisions to want to quit and then that will propel you to seeking for solutions but if you are lax about it and expect it will be resolved by bothering, then be ready to have even worse experience.

These signs indicate early addiction. Casinos or betting companies don't have any spiritual influence. they might just be able to manipulate games physically to gain an advantage. A responsible gambler plans and strategizes before playing to reduce the risk of losing to the betting company or casino. While it's normal to feel tempted to continue after a loss, knowing your limits and stopping is crucial. Trying to recover lost funds can lead to more losses, so it's wise to stop at some point and not push it too far.

You need professional help and the will to go through one of the most difficult experiences a person has to go through, which is to want to do something so badly and yet resist the urge to do it as you know it is not good for you, I am really sorry you have reached that point, as if you had looked for professional help before reaching that point then everything would have been way easier for you, but since that was not the case there is no point on regretting anymore, so do not delay this for a single second and look for the help you desperately need.

Let me correct you OP, gambling companies do not involve themselves in ay spiritual stuff to get their patronizers addicted to gambling. Obviously, gambling is free to everyone, so each person that chose to gambling has their different reasons. Which ranges from get quick rich syndrome, greed and money doubling. Both rich and poor gambling and there is a genuine reason for that.

There is nothing like spiritual manipulation in gambling. It's just some kind of teaching in your head, and you need to get that mindset off your shoulders in order to focus and look for possible ways to avoid gambling.
 
For the most part, I will advise you to seek professional help from those who specialise in helping addicts get out of it, and there will be some professional help and suggestions on how you can go about it.
 
But for the most part, I will suggest you try spending much of your free time with your loved ones and family in order for your mind to be distracted from gambling. You can engage in physical games with them, go out and have fun, and just don't allow yourself to feel like an idol for some time; it will help you work yourself out of it.

OP, do you want to be called a gambling addict? If you are not controlled by it, even if you make excuses, your behavior will show that "you are an addict".

How much money did you lose? And where does that money come from?

Remember that gambling is not your fault, it's your fault for letting greed and ignorance take over. Now I think the useful thing you might have to do is to stop, don't continue and take the lost money as a lesson, continuing to play is not the way for you to get back the lost money. And if you still maintain the idea that gambling gives you a chance, you will continue to lose, no one is forcing you to play out of control, as many previous comments from other members have said if you're not willing to lose money, don't gamble.

Hey, don't think of ending your life. You can't do that and you can do a lot more things than gambling. If you're getting depressed, stop and talk to your family or friends so that you can connect and have some conversation. Be open to them that you're experiencing worst thing with gambling and that's giving you the emotional problem of being depressed. Gambling is a business and that's why most casinos will want you to come back and will do some strategies for a customer to become their repeat customer or gambler.

That's because you're chasing your losses and we don't recommend that to do. But if you are in that state and you're having troubles controlling it and if your family, relatives or friends don't help you with that problem. It's best for you to consult a professional help on handling this matter like a psychologists or psychiatrists that will help you on how to recover from this experience. They're the best ones to help you out on how to deal and get rid of this problem.

Even if you wrote few lines you described, without any doubt iny opinioni, you have a serious gambling addiction. The face you are writing here is Indeed a good sign you are aware of your issue. Spend some minutes reading this well written article to consolidate your awareness.
I strongly suggest you to week a professional help as soon as possibile, don't know where you are based but you can start looking for help here https://gamblers-addiction.org/assocations/

Don't waste your life, talking about problems is the first step needed to solve them and you are already halfway through.

If you want to gamble in a more comfortable and enjoyable way, then gamble with money that will not make you frustrated and depressed when you lose it. Because in my opinion gambling is just entertainment that can make people have fun while doing it, so you need to have a good mentality and not be easily depressed when you don't win at gambling. So if you still don't feel comfortable and don't feel happy doing it, it's better not to approach gambling, especially if it can make you so addicted to keep trying again without stopping that you don't have time to work anymore.

This kind of thoughts is gone crazy if you take gambling as source of income. Whatever statistics or strategy do you make there will be higher chance that you still loss, especially on common games like dice, slots, etc. You could always think there's a manipulation going when you loss. Unlike if you are in sports betting. Where the points of team or individuals are the one who is going to decide for the win, although it's not always the case.

I know what you are going thru, I think majority here has that kind of uncontrollable urge to gambling. And when I said to myself that I don't want or going to quit gambling for good, I will be tempted once again to gamble as everything is very accessible right now. What I do is set up a budget and try to play along that line.


Perhaps you need to change your environment, or maybe do some meditation. But then again, I have seen worst already and one reason that I have controlled my addiction like years ago is that I lose my job. Meaning I don't have the means to make money, hence continue to gamble. But in your case it could be different, so maybe talk to your family or as I have said, change everything so that it might help you forgot about gambling.

In my opinion, most gamblers are not willing to lose and hope to get a win to recover their previous losses, so they always make deposits and the more losses they get, the more stressed and depressed they become so they play carelessly and the more losses they get. the situation got worse.

It's a good idea for us to stop gambling for a moment when our minds are not feeling well, even though gambling is based on luck, we must always think logically about the possibilities that will happen. We need to control our losses and be prepared to forget about the money we have spent on gambling. Don't chase losses and don't be greedy. Losing control in gambling will make us regret it for the rest of our lives, we must be aware of the risks posed to ourselves or those closest to us.

I can't imagine thos who takes gambling as a source of income because gambling can and will never be a source of income, that is the reason why I never take anyine who take gambling so serious as a jokers because under normal circumstances, gambling should be for fun and because of the uncertainty of gambling results, no one should rely on it to make a particular directions, so for best possible position, one need to mentain that position of only gambling for the fun of it and not to make any gain from it since behaving or acting that way only increase your chances of getting disappoited.

Whats your medium? If it was online plug out your internet. If you need internet for work, then try using extensions that help in banning sites and just slam the keyboard when asked for override passwords or something. If it was brick and mortar casino, you can try telling them to ban you from entry. Casinos should accept those kinds of requests after all.

Now if you're asking how to stop since you want to always start, then habit. Your uncontrollable urge in the first place is nothing like that, it's just a habit. One that you can't stop following. So act on it. I swear people think that developing habits is so hard when they do it every day. Everything starts from yourself so if you're not going to work on it then I don't think anything is going to change. One good start is finding a new hobby and make it a habit to do that during the times you would gamble.

Dont blame the gambling house itself about into the current condition that you are in but rather you should really be that blaming up yourself on whats happening into your right now.
This is a solid indication that you are already addicted to gambling on which if you dont make yourself that able to get out then you would really be messing up your entire life
when it comes to finances and this is something that you should really be that trying out to avoid as much as you could. If you are really that willing or serious on quitting gambling
then you should really be doing this seriously whether you should really be stopping on doing gambling and trying out to distract yourself with other activities on which it could
really make you that forget gambling or trying out to lock up your money or tell your wife about such problem so that you cant use something.

On your own you can't, once it gets to the point that the urge is uncontrollable and you are fully aware of it, your only chance is to ask for help from a professional or help group, healing comes from awareness and help should be coming from people whose expertise is to help people who are addicted to gambling its good that you understand the symptoms you now have to take action, the more you delay the depression keeps growing.
It's much easier on the road to healing if the individual is open to suggestions I'm sure there are help groups number in your country once you find them you are one call away from recovery.

That why it's crazy if you think about it, whatever the reason the gambler have. I never thought of doing like that too because the probability that you will lose more if you stay longer in the casino rooms it too much higher. The ones who gain profit are the luckiest in the room, and not everyone does that. That's why gambling is labeled as an "entertainment" because it should be treat it like that.

You're having a serious encounter.

Go outside and keep yourself away from your devices if ever you're doing online gambling which is likely you're doing. Get some fresh air and enjoy the works of nature and its beauty.

That's one way to relieve that stress and depression that you're dealing, it's for free or might take you some money to travel somewhere else in your locality but I assure you that you'll have a better perspective about life.

Majority of those who have experienced such crisis in their gambling journey are those who may have failed to constantly disconnect themselves from excessive gambling and gambling disorders, because for sure anyone who overstep their boundary can become addicted, but excaping such addictions is far easy and better when tou start wit small withdrawal procedure e.g by limiting your amount of weekly bets or stakes and also making sure that you limits your overall betting time.

If all that is put in place, you can then win the fight against those addictions and eventually win the war on the long run, but if you decide to quite at once, there will be chances that the individual will slide back into that addictions again.

If you have recognized the problem then you're already on the path to recovery.
Seek help from professionals and take any help you can get.
If it's even a church that helps you speak with a psychology or at least a group attended by a psychology, take the chance. Speak with them and attent their meetings.

Sometimes in some countries the state isn't offering adequate support for those that even have recognized their problem. But there are usually organizations that help. It's always best in problematic situations that also involve depression to speak with a pro though. It's the best and safest solution to reduce harm.

Read a book, go to a psychiatrist, take up a hobby, start a relationship. What I am saying is basically look for a distraction or another way to occupy your time. Get you a support system made up of family and friends and ask them to help you stay busy and keep your mind busy and not thinking about gambling.

Getting yourself that isolated with gambling is somewhat hard because we do have that technology today that it would really be that so easy for you to get that influenced or would really be in exposure.

You would really be that definitely be ending up on playing again and again. This is why it would really be that best that you should really be that avoiding as much as possible.
If you are really that serious on quitting gambling then you should really be that trying out to avoid as much as you could because if you arent that serious on quitting
gambling or stopping then it would really be just depending on you.

It would really be that impossible that you cant be able to do so if  you are really that serious on stopping or having a break. You would be able to
notice up into yourself on what are the things that changed up on doing extreme engagement with gambling.

If you love doing something, there's always the urge to do it all the time. The same with gambling. However, you simply can't indulge in it every time you want it. It is damaging. So, you must have the discipline to somehow put a structure to it.

Now, if you can't anymore control the urge to gamble, it must mean you need professional help. If you cannot anymore say no to it, you need intervention. I advise you to consult a professional.

In the meantime, try to distract yourself from it. Surely, there must be other things that you would also enjoy doing. You might want to focus on it.

Please don't do anything stupid. Just try to relax your brain first.
Forget about the losses for now. If you still want to gamble then I suggest doing it with low amounts. Try to identify how the gambling works in rhythm. I wish you also shared the game you are playing so that we could give you more pointers.
If it's casino games, you will most likely lose by a ton. If it's sports betting then it's easy to control it and you will lose not too much on those games because it's per event and you don't need to gamble the whole day.

In my case, I always test the seeds first. I bet at the lowest amount possible and test it for 10k bets. It will be fast at auto bet and instant bet features. Now, if I observe the seed is giving a good RTP then I will likely use that for a long time because somewhere in all those bets it will give enough to bring back the losses or better, some wins too so we can get back what we had lost before.
We must be wiser than the system and it's not easy because they can see everything. But if we could somehow make a strategy that will be good for us then use it. I've learned this from other gamblers and I asked them why they test the seed first. Now I know why. I had my share of losses too because I've been greedy and tried to chase losses by increasing the bet amount. It actually doesn't work that way.

I have already seen a situation similar to yours happening to someone close to me, the fact of stopping betting is certainly a very difficult challenge for anyone struggling with gambling addiction.
The first step you have already taken is recognizing the problem, as knowing how to identify the signs of betting addiction, such as the constant need to bet, loss of control over the game and prioritization of betting to the detriment of other activities, is a step fundamental to facing addiction and many do not even manage to do so.

But, if you have tried to stop on your own and failed, then you need to seek professional help... this is essential as having the support of psychologists, therapists and support groups specializing in addiction can provide you with the necessary tools to deal with it.
Other than that, also try to set realistic goals to stop betting and set goals that are achievable in this process... it will be difficult, but try to find a healthy replacement for gambling, such as playing sports, a hobby or creative activity... You need to fill your time and your mind with other things, otherwise you'll just be thinking about the game until the moment you can't resist anymore.

Also avoid "triggers and gambling environments", stop passing by or places where you know there is a casino or slot machine, change your routine, lock your computers or "forget" your cell phone at home from time to time. when.... avoiding situations that lead you to the temptation of gambling.
Friends and family are also very important... count on them if you can.

Do you have any friends or relatives who could help you, at least to talk and to stay with you during the harsh moments? It could help a lot, but first of all you have to have a legit desire from the bottom of you heart to stop gambling and to overcome this addiction.

Then I suggest you excluding every accounts you have at casinos. Identify what motivated you to gamble the first time you did, and then look for another means to fulfill those same expectations you had regards gambling. Try to find alternative activities you could practice that are pleasant and rewarding (not financially, but emotionally), probably something you were used to do before you developed the addiction.

Occupy your mind with another subjects, hobbies, interests... You life can't be summarized to gambling. There must be another stuff you enjoy which will make you happy. When you feel the urge to gamble, just think that by doing this you will be losing money. Don't give yourself the right to think there is a possibility of making profit. Due to the current stage you have reached, for you this possibility just doesn't exist!

I think there are a dozen of threads discussing gambling addiction.

But if you feel things are enough you actually can stop it and people in here gonna support you the simple thing and just opinion from me is not to deposit again. I know you might lose all of your money but if you keep remember what you lose it will encourage you to deposit more and everything gonna fall apart.

Next time if you want to play gamble just make sure you have put limit and budget so you can fall in the same pit again.

I lost much in gambling forex trading and futures trading but If I remember it all there is a feeling i should deposit more and make comeback but those is hard to get so I would rather to choose forget about it and not ruining my head

Thankfully, you reached out in this forum about your current situation. Let me ask you: do you think taking your own life is worth it? Yeah, I know you may say that we don't know what you feel or what you are going through, but in this section, I'm sure all of us are the same. We have some point in our gambling lives where we get too frustrated and depressed because of losing a lot of money, but the question is, do you think it will be worth it? Instead of sulking or whatever, why don't you stop yourself? Control yourself all the time, and will you have to stop yourself from gambling, especially if you yourself see that gambling doesn't do anything good to you? Believe me, it's not worth it. If you have the time to think of doing bad to yourself, dedicate that to changing yourself. Don't be a coward; you are the one who put yourself in that situation. Face it and recover. There are worse problems out there. Help yourself because there are more things you could do than gambling. It's not too late to change.

Gambling as a source of income.. No matter how I think about it, that won't be possible. Just like you said, the chances for gambler to lose is really high and in the long run the accumulated lose will become even bigger.
Sports betting isn't easy to win as well. Not, unless if you want to place a bet with an ML in heavy favourite team. 70% of the time, stronger teams always come out victorious, but it's still a bit risky since you're betting double or triple of the winning amount.

That's a severe case already OP, if you can still do it, try going to a rehabilitation center or a mental healthcare professional to assess and help you with your issue, I know that depression is a difficult thing to get out of but remember that your sadness and loneliness that you're feeling is justified and it's no reason to end your life because there's more to it, you may not see it yet because of the veil that's put on you by that extreme feelings of sadness but it's there and you don't have to be so quick about your recovery, take the time to do it even if it's snail's pace, take that step. I can't really sympathize or get exactly what your feeling because we've got different experiences but I do believe that we're all the same when it comes to the fact that there's good things coming in the future.

If you're in a very bad situation it is time for you to reach out to people who can help you like your family, when you feel very depressed and feeling worse a lot of worse things come to mind, It is not your fault that you are in that situation we are just human and we tend to lose ourselves, especially on something that excites us and give us false hope.

The best step is to have an open dialogue with your family and have you consult to medical professional sometimes our excitement causes imbalances in our hormones, I have seen people's behavior because of chemical imbalances and they need medicines to calm their nerves, you will not know this if you don't consult a professional.

You cannot blame the casinos because they have a warning in their terms that you should gamble at your risk and only play with money that you can afford to lose, unfortunately in your case, you failed to do this.

Literally, whatever is uncontrollable cannot be controlled but then  the urge to gamble is controllable even though it is not easy because addiction generally is very difficult to control. I will make some suggestions on how the urge can be controlled.

First, need for self help. This means that a gambler must first of all understand and accept that gambling causes more pain to him. It is this realization that will make him seek for ways to stop because someone cannot seek a solution when there is no problem.

In addition, there is a need for a daily, weekly, or monthly target. What this means is that a gambler should set aside a specific amount of money he must use to gamble in a day whether he wins or not. Once he exhausts the amount, that's all about gambling for that day.

Furthermore, he should control his greed. By this, I mean that he shouldn't gamble with the hope of becoming a millionaire overnight but he should learn to build up gradually. With this, he will reduce the risk and that can guarantee him more winning probability.

Take it easy on yourself buddy, good a thing you have that realization that you have turned an addict to gambling at least with this consciousness in you you can work it out with the support of your good friends and family to find possible solutions to whisk you out.

Your addiction didn't all happen in one day so don't be to hard on yourself to get rid of it in a very short time, it's going to be a gradual process provided you're intentionally serious to deal with it. From your detail explanation it appears you're a sports bettor, so I'll advise if you have played one or twice bet for the day affirm it to yourself that it's enough for that day. Take it upon yourself not to exceed twice a bet in a day, continually do this then gradually you will find it easy to drop to just one bet in a day and before you know it you can go on a whole day without carrying out any gambling activity.

The mistakes made by some gambling addicts that wish to stop gambling addiction is that they think it's something that has to be stopped at once, they forget it's an attitude/behavior they have built overtime and it needs a gradual process to also quell it totally and not an instant result stuff. An instant result strategy may turn a boomerang and worsen the addiction. Take note!

There are many types of gambling disorders, but it seems like you have a pretty serious case. in fact, I have no intention of teaching you or trying to patronize you, or even judge you for the gambling you do. but let me share an experience that I have had. however, it is important to note, in every case experienced by every person who has a disorder like the one you said in this thread, the actions or methods of healing or how to deal with it are different. but you can try to do the treatment that I did before, when I was addicted.

The first thing I did, was to recognize myself. believe it or not, for me it works and is useful. in this process, everything depends on each individual who has this disorder in the process of recognizing themselves. in this case, the meaning is very broad. however, let's relate it to gambling. imagine, what is your goal for gambling. the answer is simple, to win. regardless of the idea of ​​having fun, or entertainment. If you are aware of this, then the root of the problem is your desire and ambition to get money quickly from the gambling you do. When you play a gambling session, you always lose. Actually, bookies or casinos are not like what you describe. but we are the ones who manipulate our minds, with the lure of wanting to win every session. In fact, casinos often give winnings according to the portion. because we don't feel satisfied, or a new game has started. in the end, we continue the game. which ended, as happened to you yourself.

Now, let's return to the first point. after you try to know yourself. Try asking yourself, in a calm situation, what are we looking for in gambling. money, pleasure, entertainment, whatever it is you have to answer it honestly with yourself. then, consider which one is better and will not harm or even harm you. If you are looking for money, you can get it by working. If you are looking for fun and entertainment, then budget as much as you can afford. Forget about your past defeats, because it is almost impossible to recover them. especially, if you have been gambling for years. also, try to balance it with a new understanding of the gambling you do.  shape yourself with responsibility, then you will have self-control. But before all this process, the real challenge is how do you train and make peace with all the defeats you experience. thus, you will not try to chase losses in your gambling sessions, because you have a new understanding of your gambling. If you feel like stopping, keep training yourself until you really recover. one more thing, it all starts to be built from yourself and on your own awareness.

Breaking free from addiction could be very challenging but nothing is impossible with determination. The first thing I will recommend is to take a break from gambling. You need to have control over your gambling behaviour first and this could be ascertained if you can stop gambling for a while. If you feel you will do better without gambling, you can consider quitting but if you think you can now control your behaviour, then let us move to the next step.

Sit down and write a gambling plan attaching how much money and time you want to put in. Try all you can to follow these plans and don't give in to temptations to spend more than you have budgeted. Avoid chasing losses because you cannot recover lost funds by gambling more. You have to follow the gambling plans judiciously and you might become lucky oneday. But if you know you cannot control your gambling behaviour consider stopping. Avoid friends who are gamblers, block gambling ads from your phone and everything that triggers you to gamble.  

There is nothing spiritually about gambling and casinos, what you don't understand is the true meaning of luck, when something is all about getting lucky it becomes uncertainty, you don't want to be too into this like it's a reliable source of income, to get paid at work you need to render a good service and you will get your salary, but you can't say the same thing with gambling.

You will be messed up so badly if you believe that gambling will bring you all the dreams you desire, you are simply trying to cheat nature, if it's easy to make money everyone on the street will be millionaires, let this sink into your skull, accept that gambling is risky, you ain't going to get lucky almost all the time.

Do not solve income problem with gambling, it will never work that's why you are already in this shit hole called disorder, it's your own believe about gambling that's punishing you, sit down and rethink about gambling, there is no miracle to make money out there, you need to get a job and start saving up money, invest part of the money in good assets and only consider gambling with extra money, very small percentage from you income will do.

I think you are the only one that can actually solve your addiction problem because with what you have explained it's very clear that you are addicted but on lower scale and lever but believe me if you continue it actually grows more worse so what I will advise you to actually stop the act by looking for activities that can fill up that space or void created by the betting habit, or better still be sincere to yourself and take a very bold decision and never look at back and be disciplined to yourself.

your mental health is extremely bad to the point that you are having suicidal thoughts, professional mental health doctors will know how to properly diagnose you and how to properly treat it. that is the best advice I and other members here can give you is to get professional help as fast as possible, it is also the best thing you can do for yourself. also, I am pretty sure if you ask this on other forums they'll tell you the same thing.

Just go to a professional psychiatrist because your problem is already at a fairly serious stage and if it is not treated, you might do something stupid with your life. So before it's too late, it's better for you to seek help from others. Or if you don't have money, you should be able to ask your family for help and there will definitely be a solution to the problem. Don't let this problem drag on because you could potentially become an extreme addict and that will destroy your life. So as long as there is still a chance to fix it, you should treat it as soon as possible.

If you are addicted, try to seek for help. I think that you can't help yourself anymore when it comes with gambling, this is why a psychiatrist or a rehab center could help you because their job is to help you with your addiction. It's hard to blame the casinos since they are a business and they make their income from gamblers, majorly from addicted gamblers who spend non-stop to fulfill their addiction.

The side effects of your addiction are at their worst if you ask me, seek for help immediately.

What you are describing here is a form of addiction and that is formed with some time passed gambling and is difficult to quit this habit.It is needed a huge self control and desire to do so first and foremost and then if this is not enough it is better to ask for professional help before things precipitate even further south and really bad things can happen and one of them is an increased level of depression which directly affect your health and life quality.

You probably get into gambling without knowing what you are into. I believe you are above 18 years and you are aware that you are responsible for whatever you do. The betting companies are running a business and you choose to patronize them without being force. There is nothing like spiritual in gambling industries but when you lack the ability to control your urge, you'll think they're controlling you. You are busy chasing your loses and that's why you are finding it difficult to control your urge for gambling. You are likely not to succeed in gambling if you have revenge mentality. You will not get the help you are looking for here unless you are ready to help yourself by staying away from gambling for a while until you realized that you need to approach gambling with a different mentality and not to make something huge out of it. Gambling is really fun when you approach it with the right mentality.

If these anxiety disorders or a strong desire to gamble are happening to you and you can't think about other things in life, then my advice is that you seek help from a doctor, this is the most important part, according to you you should immediately stop being on the internet for a long time, this is because the longer you stay on the internet the greater the chances of you continuing with thoughts of wanting to play, I hope you can see that. so if you have a computer with internet access at home, I suggest you disconnect the internet, if you have a phone that goes online, then I suggest you keep the phone that goes online and start using phones that don't go online, with that you will being able to start taking your mind off games

Of course, the first few days without playing will be very difficult for you, because when you spend a lot of time thinking about gambling and you spend a lot of time playing, then that person finds it very difficult to manage their time when they are not playing, She has thoughts like what she will do to pass the time without playing. That's why it's recommended that people start having lots of things to do in life, start acquiring other hobbies, like watching movies and series. start learning to play a musical instrument, start listening to music, start reading a lot of newspapers and books

take many courses such as cooking courses that help you relax and keep your thoughts focused on the kitchen. spend time sitting and taking in the air on the balcony of your house, spending time strolling on the beaches, in shops and watching sports games. In other words, you should focus on having fun with other things in the real world for a long time without using the internet until you forget about gambling. Don't be a person with pessimistic thoughts that you won't make it, don't think about it. Think about being a person with determination and willingness to change. addiction is something curable, so cure yourself and the key to healing is looking for a doctor and dedicating yourself to complying with all the doctor's recommendations

He must realize that he has an uncontrollable urge to continue gambling so that he can immediately seek help to cure or eliminate the urge. You can try to stop gambling for a while and do other things that are not related to gambling so that you can divert your attention from gambling. You also need to ask your family for help if you are stressed by gambling and want to heal yourself. It was your fault because you gambled without self-control, which made you too serious about gambling. You still have the opportunity to change, but you have to change your life seriously. This is about the struggle to change your life so you can heal yourself from gambling.

First, no one forces you to gamble, because they only provide, meaning that the system runs 24 hours as long as you are strong in gambling, and the provider only fills the business gap to provide, of course it is not a bad idea if you use more time to work, then again intense time doing anything will become a burden and bored especially every day and often presiction fails with capital that is not ready to lose.

Gambling is very bad for a person's mentality if it is not concerned with rest and avoiding his real life. Even if there is a chance to win and last longer, it is better to enjoy some of the gambling profits for a vacation or a real business, not the other way around which will make you miserable, gambling also manages important finances, because gambling is like a virtual example, when you win it feels like hard work that becomes real but if you lose it is like a dream that doesn't feel :D

I agree, I think this is not the right way and the forum is not the one that can help you, it would be better to consult with medical professionals especially if you are already in the serious stage of gambling disorder, it is difficult to self diagnose so it would be better to get checked up while it's not too late.
let's not be shy to ask for help especially if it's really necessary because our money can be returned but our own physical and mental health is difficult to fix once it's damaged.

No one asked or forced anyone to become addicted to gambling rather gamblers themselves became addicted to gambling. The terms and conditions of gambling and casino sites state that investing in these casino and gambling sites is risky and no one under the age of 18 can participate. Those of us who become addicted to gambling cannot in any way blame the gambling and casino companies because we become addicted to gambling entirely of our own free will and at our own risk. However, if after becoming addicted to gambling, we do not have the ability to control ourselves from gambling, then we have no justification to blame anyone.

Talk to somebody who is mature, a grown up who you trust other than your friend about this. If you believe in God and are a church goer, tell your religious leader, if you are Muslim, talk to your Iman about it. And any other religious leader about it. Do not be ashamed of your addiction because if you hide it, you will suffer in silence until it eats you up.

If you are married, hand over your finances to your spouse. Tell her or him not to give you money for anything without thorough scrutiny or a very valid reason. If you live with your parents, do the same thing. If you live alone, get a friend or your sibling to live with you or move in with your parents if they agree to after telling them your struggles. For entirely move to a new location that will not serve as a trigger.

Give up your electronic devices that have the ability to connect to the internet. For at least three months and then seek help.

First of all, we must admit that if there are debts, then it will not work to pay them off with gambling winnings. Debts should be paid only with honest work, in no case does he hope for luck: and work will restore respect for you in the eyes of your relatives. You need to try to remove programs and applications related to gambling so that they do not catch your eye. Of course, I also recommend watching video interviews with players and psychologists.

OP, I think that you have taking gambling as a means of making profit and not for fun, and this is why even when you are losing, you keep on placing your bet on a new game because you are allowing your emotions to control you, which is making you to chase your losses. I see that you have been eaten up with addiction, and it has led you to great loss.

It is better that you quit gambling for maybe two years or more, this will enable you to overcome the gambling spirit in you that is pushing you to gamble even when you are running at loss. If you want to come back to gambling, then you must discipline yourself, and know how to control your emotion, by gambling with only the amount that you can afford to lose. Gamble for fun and not for profit.

I add again that it is necessary to realize really - really if you are experiencing a big defeat by gambling. after that start to leave gambling and think more positively and have to return to the right path in earning money. of course by working in real life. and intend to pay debts from your losses and mistakes from gambling. it's hard but it's better than just regretting and not doing anything.

If you continue to be addicted emotionally then when the money is gone while you still want to gamble then from every defeat will blame the casino, maybe your mind continues to imagine the casino that thinks it is manipulation so that you continue to play, even though it is only your hallucination from the downturn because the addiction has exceeded the limit.

Just do other work that makes you forget about gambling, what is a more useful occupation to do that because indeed if you force gambling due to addiction then this will be difficult without existing rehabilitation.

Try with a little money, or not playing gambling at all I think if it has an effect then slowly apply what you can to forget it.

Gambling has become too deep into you that you do not know what to do and how to stop doing it, you have what we can call the worst-case scenario in gambling and the only way is rehabilitation, all advice will not work even abstaining will not, by rehabilitation is being confined and get doctors help in curing the strong urge to gamble.
It will cost you money but the amount is nothing to what you're going to lose more if you cannot stop yourself from gambling so you better do what you have to do and not delay it because depression will grow each day you delay it so save yourself.

        -   As gamblers, what we do within the gambling industry always depends on the decision we make. Whether the result will be good or bad, it always depends on our minds when we gamble. So, it means that when we become greedy when playing while gambling, let's expect that the result will be bad in the end.

But if what we did is good, for sure, in the end it will also be good before we finish playing gambling here because we gambled correctly because we applied the habits that a gambler should have.

Controlling the impulse to keep gambling might be quite difficult, but you must reflect on yourself and acknowledge that you need to change if you want to gradually stop. Since you admitted that there were moments when you wished to end your own life, doesn't that already have a negative effect on it? Why don't you just take some time off, resist the urge to gamble, even for a single day, and establish a budget before you even consider playing, so that you can resist the urge to go over it?
 
I think it would be really beneficial if you talked about this problem or the struggles that you have been going through with someone you feel comfortable with in real life. You could also share it with family members you trust so they can offer you support and encouragement. Please realize, OP, that gambling is not a way to make ends meet. Don't chase losses, since that's what's making you miserable right now.

Ask yourself- why do you continue to gamble despite all the negativity surrounding it? What do you hope to achieve by gambling? Is this a financial problem that lets you hope of winning the jackpot; or is this an entertainment issue where gambling gives you that dopamine effect?

After asking yourself those questions, that is when you will start to re-evaluate your situation which can ultimately affect your decision making skills. Always remember, acknowledge that you suffer and then start from there. Start slow but with consistent pacing- replace slowly your gambling habits with different habits as this will create another discipline which is outside gambling.

OP, all hope is not lost- many people have stood on the very same platform you are facing and most of them had gotten out from this situation. Trust yourself and never lose that goal of recovering.

Focus on other interests or hobbies that excite you more than gambling. It is almost impossible to resist gambling addiction and the desire to win back what you have lost, and even more so, to control the desire to gamble.

Addiction to gambling plays into the hands of bookmakers, allowing them to make money on gamblers and their goal is, after all, your money, and not the desire to deprive you of plans and strategies.

If you feel that “something is going wrong” in your life and the reason is gambling, then quit it.

There are some helplines to call, depression combined with gambling addiction is already a serious case. Some people who are like this on the news end up taking their lives because of debts and gambling.

Every gambler here knows the feeling when they chase their loss and keep wagering in haste because they wanna win back. Some of them only stopped when their money was all gone. When it's all gone, that's when depression hits harder.

Gambling is very dangerous when it is uncontrollable but the only option to overcome this urge is to make personal decisions and keep to it this is the only way stay from addiction. I think if you can make decisions from  playing gambling it will really help well. Addiction is something that does not go off from people immediately, that is why even if you try to reduce the way you play gambling you will still see yourself playing gambling uncontrollable.  You just need to forget about playing gambling and with time you will get rid of addiction but in the case you still go back to  continue with gambling you will keep on struggling with addiction that can of problem to you financially and mentally.  

If you take gambling as a way of making money you just have to stop and look for something else that can generate income for you, this will help you out from depression.

Absolutely mate we are all know that everyone of us here don't let us happen. Cause when depression will attack on us then we can not control ourselves so we need to be more careful nowadys like in gambling once we are in the addicted mode then there's a possibility that we can not control ourselves and let us to become losser cause the more we put in our mind that gambling can makes us rich so still many gamblers will stay.

Its obvious from his statements that bro its losing like a fool, and he's surely seeking help to reduce the way he engages in it.
I have an advise for OP, in fact this is what helped me back then in 2017 when my addiction was getting seriously out of hand. I decide for how long I don't want to engage in gambling, maybe 2 days maximum for a start. I will play a game that will span throughout those days and refuse to play another one until the games are exhausted. Now, during the days of the gameplay, I distanced myself from betting sites and my friends that will tell me the outcomes of games I played in the coupon. To substitute for the gambling time, I started reading motivational books which helped me remove my mind from visiting the bookies. To stop one habit, you need to replace it with a new one.

This now boils down to the fact that you need to change your friends that are addicted just like you, you cannot be trying to change and still fully associate yourself with your do alikes. This might bring issues between you and your friends, but bro, you're saving yourself and you offer nobody apologies for desiring a better life. For you to seek help indicates your willingness to change. Change is a slow and steady process, follow the process with dedication and you'll come back here with your testimony.

There is no quick way to control your desire to gamble. All methods are done slowly and gradually when you are in a situation of addiction. The casino only does marketing by offering various promotions to attract people to play. The player when playing for the first time must remember that the casino will never lose.
This thought must be remembered by the player from the start onwards so that the player can be said to be playing consciously because in gambling there are only two choices, winning and losing. Make a lot of money and lose a lot of money.

Obviously this is the wrong thought when there is a gambler hoping as a source of income, this will cause a lot of problems especially in terms of their finances that there are only new problems that keep coming if someone hopes on gambling.

The gambling games you mentioned are clearly in favor of luck, there is no strategy that can be claimed correctly, except for sports betting, there is still a chance of winning if you analyze the team, so if the general game is enough to make fun when there is cold money.

I don't know, it turns out that there are still many people hoping beyond reason and a little crazy on the source of income in this gambling will not change anything that continues to lose. - Smart gambler: Losing is not a problem, winning is a bonus for them.

Please, bro, you are taking this too far, "unaliving"? No, that shouldn't be, you are talking as if you are too rooted in gambling, but all for losses, it is you who will have to change the narrative. It might have started by you starting gambling on the wrong footing by not understanding what gambling is, the good and ills attached to it but started all the same. Gambling is never for the faint in heart and this is why I like to advise people that they should get themselves familiar with it and know some evils that can come from it, and also know the ways to guard against the evil before engaging in it. But many think it is not necessary as gambling is just a way to make money but this is wrong as many might want to make money in it but almost all will never be able to make the money and even lose more than their money in some cases just like yourself.

You are losing it already, but as it is now, it is never too late, and I advise you to take a break from gambling immediately without thinking twice. You do not need it right now, trust me, all you need is a fresh breath and a new start, you need to absolutely clear your head. If you force it and continue like this to the extent of thinking about harming yourself, I pray that such will not happen. You can talk to some people offline about how you feel now, it could be family and/or friends or anyone in the field related to mental state, and they might be able to help you as well. As for the gambling house allegation, they are not using any spirits, it is a matter of mental state and addiction, if you are not careful, it will control you especially if you do not have the strong Willpower to fight back or stop it outrightly.

stop betting if you have lost control and immediately avoid gambling if you feel such anxiety.
I'm sure you just feel anxious and uncomfortable with your gambling activities and as a healthy gambler will never worry about anything even if he loses money because he already understands the risks but if you feel everything is bad it's better for you to immediately leave gambling for a few days or even longer to avoid these distractions.

according to my assessment, OP has anxiety related to his gambling activities and try to find someone you trust, tell him all the complaints you are experiencing and ask for help with a solution to your problem.
I'm afraid anxiety is bad in the long run.

Hey, feel bad mate. Have you tried these
- Join your family
- Tell your story
- Trying to accept the reality and don't think about your past gambling
- All of your financial, should be take care by someone on your family
- Limit your spending everyday.

These should be needed around 3-6 month without gambling. It's hard, but should try these otherwise you will keep betting chasing the amount you are losing or you won on the past (with condition, never getting chase).

If you are really that serious on quitting then you should do work hard for it or would really be that meaning it because if you do have those kind of quitting mindset but you dont really make actions through it
then you would really be that still ending up on doing on the same thing on which this is something that must be avoided in the first place. This is why it would really be that best that you should really act
accordingly and would really be thinking up well on what are the things that you must do for you to be able to quit up,or else you would really be ending up on a disaster on which your financial
condition would be mainly be affected. There are really people who could be able to get out and there are ones who cant.

This is why it would be always best that if you do saw yourself into that verge of extreme addiction, then act fast and wise that trying out to avoid into those things
on which it is really that must to be avoided.

Rehab seems to the the viable option for someone with such a compulsion to gamble which can attained from therapy sessions and which comes with a hefty price too, I advise you to talk to a counsellor who has expertise in these kinds of cases and let them take care your condition. Until that self exclude yourself from all the casinos you were playing which is cold turkey but the most effective in my opinion than going gradual decrease.

You must understand that gambling is risky, if you let it go without trying to forget about it then this will continue to be borne by you which is getting worse.
Try to do activities that can forget about gambling, whether there is a hobby that you enjoy then this will be better than gambling addiction or other activities that make you useful.

Of course other people will say rehabilitation if you are able to do that, let alone the desire of the intention where you do not want to be borne in his lifetime even though this is quite heavy but you have to do it.

Eliminating addiction directly is difficult, it must be done slowly, what you can do, slowly is no problem as long as you have the intention where you want to stop.

The casino is not manipulating anyone to gamble out of their wish. It's a personal decision to gamble and make fun through the activity. Gamblers operate in unique ways, so as you should. Maybe the strategies which you implement is not good enough to secure or limit the urge of gambling from coming up often times. When gambling it's crucial to have some arrangement within yourself and follow a guide that works. Instead of playing out of fear or making mistakes in the hopes of winning big. No need of feeling depressed. It only gets the trouble worse as the healing progress can be delayed. You should be focusing on maintaining yourself not to get in deeper trouble than you're facing right now. Gambling is not an avenue for making huge amount of money. You may have been disappointed as a result of loss of money and not earning the money you wished to get via gambling.

That urge relies on the player. Though it appears so strong, but that doesn't mean we all need to be victim of trying again. When the game is no longer fun to you, then stop for the moment and relax against the next session. Viewing the game as a must win affair will only get you as a player more worried why you're not winning in the process. Assuming the player participates in gambling for fun, he won't get worried over the losses or wins. What matters most is playing the game within the duration he's made out for gambling. That's why the timing is quite very important for gamblers. Self-control is a required skill that one need to possess as gamblers. Don't chase loss, Op, it'll only worsen the situation. The urge can be controlled. All you need is to be a responsible gambler.

A simple stupid thing like gambling is not worth ending your life. Don't do it, your life is so much bigger than this.

You'll be like a driver who crashed his car and decided to kill himself because he worked a few years to get it. Your life is so much longer and you can achieve much more. Everything that's lost can be regained, remember that. You can recall memories, fix bonds with friends. The only thing you cannot bring back is people.

Get someone to disconnect you from it. Make them drive you to the mountains, where there's no Internet, and no way for you to get back to the city on your own. Make them leave you enough food and supplies to survive and stay there for a few weeks. You'll calm down and feel so much better after.

And that's the issue people thing casino are manipulating them and they have forgotten they made the choice them self and they blame casinos for their mistakes they were not forced and when some are talking they tell you about risk so if you take the risk and it backs then the person should blame their self. and even addiction they caused it so the hands of casinos are clean. and if anyone is using any strategy and it is not working out for them then it is better you change it. and majority of them need to start setting limits for them self but since they are chasing money so they should not blame anyone. and another thing i observed is that people will always want to copy gambling codes and that is were a lot of people are failing.

And i think their should be means from casinos of getting information about user experience and also improve on their platform and also give measure for people that are putting blames on people about their failure in control their self for money. and i will continue to say this is not every game you see you place bet on or want to bet. their should be control and limitation on gambling the thing is that if you could interview people that lost control over gambling if you should ask them what them have gone through in that process you will be amazed at what them will tell you so it is better to be contended with what ever it maybe. to me all does things is as a result to greed.

Are you serious about this or you are saying a literal meaning to what you are going through. If someone is consuming a food that is harmful to his body system and the doctor prescribed to him to stop eating that food but he choose to continue, then I believed he choose to die and you situation is the same right now. You know very well about your situation very well which you were able to detect your self but I'm surprised that you are still asking. If you value your life, Pease quit gambling and focus on other aspects of life, gambling is not the only thing to do because it's clear that you are gambling for financial reasons and not for fun.


I'm still surprised to what kind of addicted gambler you are but I understand your situation as well but where are you getting the money you are using for gambling? You seem like a person that knows what he is doing and I think you know the source of your depression. If you are losing money as you are gambling, please stop immediately, nobody is disturbing you spiritually to gambling, it's your consciousness that is that active and makes you enjoy gambling and when it doesn't work, the guilt set in. If you are winning, you wouldn't say that isn't.

No one is telling you to enter the world of gambling, nor is there anyone forcing you to gamble. You yourself have decided to enter the world of gambling and bet heavily there, causing a loss. You yourself have started it, so you yourself must end it. Betting without end, a person keeps returning to gambling, even though he often loses and suffers losses that he doesn't want. However, it is not gambling that is to blame, it is your behavior that is wrong every time you gamble. Are you sorry enough for your own bad behavior? If not, then be prepared to face even bigger losses, which you never imagined before. If yes, then immediately improve your behavior in gambling, control your emotions and emotions better, and never have too high expectations regarding gambling.

Your bad behavior in gambling has caused a loss, if you can't stop gambling, then leave the bad behavior. And if you are unable to win in gambling, then minimize the level of losses you experience.

The more ambitious you are to take revenge to return the funds you have lost at the gambling table, the deeper you will be depressed by this condition.
It's better to manage your money for gambling so that you get a nominal amount that is ready to bet when you win or lose.
What you are experiencing is of course also experienced by many gambling players who have lost a lot of money, of course they have to learn from this incident so they can still enjoy gambling without feeling stressed.

You could consider yourself lucky, even if you don't feel that way, that you have a habitual addiction rather than a chemical addition like drugs or alcohol - which take an actual physical toll throughout the withdrawal process. If you well and truly want to quit, you have to hit rock bottom. You have to lose all faith in what you've been doing up to this point in time and ultimately will have to write off all the money that you've sunk into this activity this far. You were wrong and gambling is just a money pit, that will never turn around to spit back out a profit for you or even allow you to get anywhere near to the break even point. Let the past go and accept that you've lost all that money spent to this point, only then can you start rebuilding. At that point you need to quit entirely and be on the look out for trigger points that pop up in your day to drag you back in.

I am sorry to hear what you are going through and i understand the difficult spot you are in now. I have not personally experienced this, but i know people around me who have gone through phases like this, and it was very difficult to overcome. You simply need the help of your friends and family to help you get past this, spend time with them, see value in other things and it could be a solution. If all of these does not work, then you have to seek professional help from a psychologist who will help you in the best way they can.

The fact you still play back each time you lose tells you're gambling for the money not for fun, I will argue all newly gamblers to control their emotions when it comes to lose, cause it's best to advice newly members to know the system before gambling, the problem you're facing is you gamble too much with your income and the fear of you not losing all games is really affecting you and you need to stop gambling for now if you can do that it'll be better.
No one can really tell you what to do with your gambling life except you decide to change and take a bold step to kill the habit of always playing back after a loss.

I may not know much about gambling disorder but I know this is a condition when we tend to gamble as much as we don't know whether we are making profits or not, just to satisfy our curiosity. This condition can be very deadly and financially uncomfortable for us but our faculty might not have any thing to do with us about quitting gambling. This is just a chronic chase of gambling addiction. When we are gambling without reasoning what could be the effect on us and we might not even be ready to take any risk management attempt that would save us from losing frequently. Disorder can be hereditary especially from our parent if they are a peo gambling addicts.

The deed has already been done and there is no point advising you any further, all you need right now is help and your ability to identify the fact that you have a problem already that needs urgent solution is a good start. Many gamblers who are battling with addiction or other forms of gambling problems don't even know they have one unless family members and friends identify changes in their behaviours. Helping this set of people might be a bit difficult because they might act all defensive and reluctant to adhere to their healing routine.

You need to see a therapist. Help will not come if you do not give in your full coorporation. Try as much as possible to cut off all those things that trigger you to gamble. Are you triggered by the gambling wins? divert your attention to other sources of income. Get a different hobby and avoid isolation,  you'll be fine at the end.

It's not the casinos or the bookies was at fault, ourselves as well can be counted as one to be at fault here. If you don't have control over how you react on certain things like betting then you need to find something else to be fond of, maybe gambling is not your thing. It will only get worse and you'll be broke more than ever, better stop and touch some grass for awhile.

This is what I think also. It is what he needs at this time because no one's going to help him get out of it but only himself. But once he gets in to the rehabilitation either by home or by the center or clinic, he'll understand what he's going through right now.

He'll be able to get those sessions of healing and I think that it is going to help him a lot. I have not been into it but I have seen people that have been helped out by these therapy sessions when they can't take it anymore.

The condition that he's having right now is actually dangerous when he gets to think of ending his life, he needs to enter rehab or do something about it as soon as possible.

for sure OP you need some PROFESSIONAL help. Rehab? Prescription Drugs? Consultancies?
I don't know.
However, I think you're on the right way if you have identified a problem and you think a change is achievable.
Don't feel shy, don't feel guilty, go straight and fight properly you will win with the right approach.

Controlling the urge to gamble is not easy, but it is possible by taking some steps towards recovery. These are some tips that I found to be logical in cases of excessive gambling.
 Find other activities that can be enjoyed instead of gambling.
 Find ways to deal with stress in a healthy way.
 Seek support from others. For example, it may be useful to obtain professional help from a therapist who specializes in treating addiction.
The most important thing is to understand why you want to gamble. Are you trying to escape from feelings or pressures? Are you looking for excitement or adventure? Once you understand why you want to gamble, you can start to find other ways to deal with negative emotions and setbacks.

Gambling is not just for money doubling and get rich quick it’s also for fun and if one is just to gamble for the profit and to get rich very quick then it could have been done with everything the person have and not just going in with a limited budget which when exhausted you call it a day for those who have self control, gambling is both for fun and to make profit if you get the fun out of the main purpose why people gamble you seems to turn gambling to an area where people can perceive and view it as some sort of Ponzi scheme which promises to double people’s money which at the end of the day those who entrust them with money end up losing it all.

gambling is a game that I have no prediction or accuracy because I know quite well that if you are addicted in gambling you will think that whatever thing that you are ready to believe be good to your prediction so I know quite well that what makes people to be addicted in gambling is because the one to recover whatever thing they have spent in gambling and they continue to gamble every time they think that maybe they will recover whatever thing they have played or they have spent in gambling but it is not like that I know quite well that the gambling before you win gambling is by luck

If the ones that I have mentioned still don't help him, then he may go to the main event help that he's needing and that's to just go to a professional for that help.

It is nice that he was vocal and admitted on what he's experiencing because someone who might also going through with it could have hard time in admitting it.

He needs to take care of himself and need necessary actions that has to be done properly.

Try not to gamble for a while, and don't think about returning to gambling so that you don't have the urge to gamble again. You need strong determination and effort to eliminate the desire to gamble again, which is not easy. You need to force your mind not to think about gambling, and if necessary, you can do other activities. Maybe you need to visit a professional to ask for help to overcome these feelings of depression and eliminate the desire to gamble again. It all lies in a strong desire to be able to leave gambling, but even if there is a desire, if you are not serious about doing it, you will probably return to gambling again.

All the things you are saying are okey and are logical for someone who is not still very deep into gambling addiction or someone who has a very big willpower to overcome the feelings and the cravings to continue to gamble. In my opinion, saying someone something like "try not to gamble" is not appropriate. Though, it is appropriate to tell them to seek professional help if they can.
If he cannot immediately get help from professionals, then the best shot for him would be to get in touch with people he can trust with his problem, and ask them for help to self-exclude from gambling platforms and find distractions off the world of gambling.

We must recall that addiction is not something which can be willfully controlled as some people imply, if someone is suffering from problem gambling, we need to assume such person has completely lost control over his desires and and will power.  
If this was any other kind of addiction, you would not ask for him to embrace to his own willpower and desire to recover, wouldnt you?

This is the toughest problem for a gambler and until now the cases are still increasing. Dealing with gambling is not as easy as other things because it is very addictive and very difficult to stop. Going to a psychologist might help a little, but if you are careless or there are no other positive activities, gambling symptoms will appear again. There are always consequences for this problem and quite a few of them end tragically. So as much as possible avoid the dangers of gambling addiction because it is very bad for life.

There is no choice but to deal with it with yourself. You need to fight the temptation of gambling. Try to consider doing other things and make yourself busy. The fact that you were able to post here with your problem, means you can still manage to help yourself and get out of that temptation of pushing yourself to gambling.

You can do it mate, you need to help and force yourself to stop gambling whatever it takes.

By not overdoing it. When someone gambles too much, it will be difficult for them to controls themselves, which will cause them to becomes addicted, and if this happened every day, it will be increasingly difficult to stop. It is not easy to stoped gambling activities if they are addicted because they find it difficult to control themselves and to stop it is with intention and determination. We must be able to control our thoughts that gambling will only bring greater losses and these losses will not be able to be covered if we are too fall into addictions.

One way to calm you down is to stop, if you feels that gambling has started to make you feel anxious, tense and makes you think more and more, it is better to stoped your gambling. But if it is difficult for you to stop then use a more effective method to stop your gambling and reduce your expenses you slowly don't thinks about chasing losses because that will make you even more depressed with bigger losses.

Gambling disorder refers to the situation when a gambler becomes so mentally disturbed that he cannot free himself from the attraction of gambling. However, the addicted gambler cannot do it on his own, but if he gets the help of his relatives, he will certainly be able to get rid of this difficult situation. But of course in this case he will need social rehab, a good psychiatrist, and some medical consultant. But open discussion and emotional comfort with close relatives can play a very important role in this regard. However, if the addict is given recreational opportunities such as gardening, picnics, trips to the beach, and long trips where there is no gambling environment, there is no such thing as a gambling disorder.

This is not disorder, rather I would say this is addiction. You are addicted to gambling, and there are basic treatments for these which will help you to control the addiction. The best remedy is to spend time with your family. Talk with your children, or with your wife or with your parents. This will keep your mind diverted. Moreover set the finance’s control to someone responsible, so that they don’t give you money if you ask them. In this manner your gambling habit can be controlled upto a certain limit.

You're probably still in control of yourself because you're still able to confront it as a problem. By posting your problem here in bitcointalk and by admitting that you're being somehow manipulated into addiction and you play without plans and strategy, you know that something is wrong.

Other highly addicted gamblers are full of denials. They can only speak of praises in their gambling experiences and their luck even if the reality is that they're losing everything.

I believe you can put a stop at this madness. You can do it. You still have the control in you. Just stay away from it once and for all and enjoy doing something else.

I have identified gambling as a death trap. Because gambling offers such a tempting offer that a gambler can never forget, because the gambling offer has made the gambler addicted. I can't break from gambling because I have been addicted for a long time, whenever I want to stop gambling I feel discomfort. I can't forget gambling even in the midst of work, even today I am addicted to gambling.

you can try to stay away from gambling, try it for 1 or 2 days and see how you react to it. if you fail several times in your attempts, keep trying until you can control yourself not to gamble. but if this method doesn't work, you can try talking to your parents or siblings about how your gambling addiction is quite serious, maybe they can provide a solution or send you to a psychologist for further examination. i hope that your addiction problem can be resolved.

Don't wait for a worst scenario before opening this up to someone who you trust and who you think can help you.
If you are already in a state of depression and thinking about suicide, its about time to seek personal help. Gambling can be very risky if you are too emotional, that's why its very important for every new comers to be more prepared not just on the money they are willing to lose but also to the emotion stress that gambling might give to you.

This is how stupid people sometimes blaming others for their own problem , do gambling
sites forces you to gamble ? of course not instead they are just promoting their business and having
advertising  but the decision is for ours to choose .
it is really sad to know that there are people that struggles in gambling but you are also the one that
can help your problem from it.

You are right Hispo. In a case like the OP's, there is no room for half-measures. You have to take a radical approach and be clear that he has to give up gambling for good, seek professional help and put up all the barriers to avoid doing it again, such as the self-exclusion you mentioned. He also has to confess to his loved ones, no matter how hard it is for him, so that they can support him and help him to stop. It is a hard road but continuing gambling in that situation is much worse.

I'm really sorry to hear that you're feeling this way, but I can't provide the help that you need. It's important to talk to someone who can, though, such as a professional or a trusted person in your life.

It is pathetic for the OP and I wrote my mind on this yesterday and I came back to check on what other people are talking about it today again just for a checkup's sake as I must say that I am so concerned especially when the "unliving" remark is included. This is not just a good mind state for him as he is not in the best of himself to make any right gambling calculations, and the best for him is to take a break from gambling immediately. Gambling is never by force, it is a choice and the best gamblers are good mind preservers and nothing should make you gamble again when you know that you have lost it (your mind). But I wonder what people were thinking that would make them get to this stage unnoticed.

Is it their carelessness or uncared attitude for themselves and the people who cared about them or they cared about? We should also be observing, we should never cross the line that will be hard for us in gambling or other things that are addictive. If careless about them, it will be so harmful to the point that it can cause depression. And we all know depression can cause anything we didn't plan for, which we do not pray for. Nevertheless, I hope this guy gets help as soon as possible. The rehabilitation might be the best plan now, it is what will keep him informed of the situation and the danger, and perhaps get healed as soon as possible if a brilliant professional can be engaged as soon as posisble.

Go looking for activities that really keep you busy and drain your energy, this will be quite an effective way to control your desire to gamble and of course by doing activities that drain your energy you can feel tired and just want to rest so you can forget about your desire to gamble.
Ask someone in your family for help, namely by entrusting some assets or money to them.
If are married, can entrust it to wife and if are not married, can ask parents for help in saving the amount of money that we have.
Actually, there are many ways you can do it, it just that sometimes not all gamblers want to do it.

Hahaha, you have been influenced by your own desire for gambling and made you have mindset that is actually superstition.
Gambling provides very high sense of curiosity because gambling will provide feeling of adrenaline that every gambler always wants and of course this will influence the desire to continue gambling.
There is nothing spiritual connected with gambling sites and everything is just an influence that is given and this is related to curiosity or addiction.

Identifying a problem is the first step to solving the problem. The OP has identified that gambling is making him feel depressed which means that he has realized that it is a problem in his life. Thus, the following should be done:

1. Deactivate all your bet accounts
2. Surround yourself with people who don't gamble.
3. Try to avoid gambling platforms on social media
4. Visit a counselor

Try these guides they will be helpful.

It is uncalled-for having excuses over ones disorderliness as a caused of irresponsible addiction.
There is no spiritual relativity in gambling on possesesing  the gamblers instead it is the gamblers desperate aims and objectives of  a "must chasing after profits" that posseses the gamblers whom are not able to control their gaming emotions. Hence, the gamblers are specifically to be blamed and no on else.

If in anyway gambling companies have strategies to pin down gamblers to continue gaming with them, it is as usually way of companies and traders strategically structuring a way to attract their customers and the audiences.
Every organizations whom goals are to make financial profits would always have a means to flourish on their ventures maybe through speculations, adverts or trickishly likely to influence the audiences.

You're right, no one here can help OP with the plight that he's got, no matter how much caring or empathetic we are in real life, sending our thoughts and prayers to OP for his depression and addiction isn't going to magically do him any good, and the only thing that we can do is to listen and not criticize this person, venting about frustrations online can help OP even just a little so a message to OP, if you're reading this, you can always vent out what you want to say here on the forum, it's completely anonymous as long as no revealing details or such is included in your post and follow the advice of the other members, for you to take action and seek help, that includes help from family and loved ones and a professional one.

If you are gambling and you end up being depressed, then why do you keep on gambling? Why don’t you just stop gambling and get yourself something else to do? You shouldn’t force yourself to keep on gambling. You have to involve yourself in things that make you happy, not things that make you feel depressed.
 
Why will gambling companies manipulate you spiritually? You are the one manipulating yourself, and you are getting yourself addicted to gambling and not the gambling companies. No gambling company will tell you to keep on gambling after losing. If you want to keep on gambling after losing, it’s your decision to take, and you shouldn’t blame the gambling companies.

If one make a firm decision that he will not use more budget than his planned sum then he can control his gambling activity. Budget has greater impact on the addiction because if a person used fixed amount for gambling then there is a chance that he will not fall into bad addiction. Gambling is good source of earning and it provides fun only in the way when you get profit but once your losing amount increases then there is a chance that you will not find any fun in gambling but will be in stress all the time.

As @Nrcewker already mentioned, it's not a personality disorder, but an addiction. Seeking advice on a forum isn't your best bet, although I believe that most members have good intentions. This is a matter that requires professional assistance. Some basic steps you can take yourself would be to withdraw any money from your casino accounts, or even resort to closing them and installing a parental control application to block anything related to gambling, spend time with your loved ones, and generally keep yourself occupied with something.

Don't try to fight it alone; you'll eventually roll down the hill. Take some precautionary steps, but ultimately, find a counselor or a therapist to assist you further.

Suicide is not the answer dude, you will just give more problems to the loved ones that you will be leaving and their grief.
It's never the answer so forget about that, it ain't a solution, it's an escape. I've seen a lot of threads here talking about gambling addiction. If I were you I would try to read them all so that you might forget about gambling for now. Who knows, maybe that is all the help that you need so that your attention will deviated.
Stopping is not easy, but one thing I have seen from those who succesfully did it, they made a new hobby.
So, ask yourself, what else do you love doing in your life? Painting? Sports? Online gaming? There's so many things out there, or you could just simply watch TV series and finish them all, I bet your lifetime won't be enough to complete all the different TV series in US.  :D

I personally do not believe on spiritual connection with a gambler because even those who uses witchcraft with gambling I saw them fail. 😅 Some gamblers here in my place has this superstitious belief and other sort of sorcery things on them but neither of them became successful with gambling because for me it is really all about luck.

Nah, it's more of the psychology though, this casinos knows how to lure their victims, whether online or offline. And so they play with our emotions, that's why to combat it, we need to be more aware of what gambling can do. That's why there are a lot of advises already like just spend what you can afford to lose, control your bankroll and capital, be aware of the games that you play and what are the odds are and others.

Otherwise, if we are not that mentally strong, sooner or later we might go to that addiction and that is what the OP has share with us. So just be responsible and remember to just enjoy it and learn to be control our emotions to avoid negative consequences in our life.

When making up such business then they do really know on how to play up human beings mind and emotions on which they would really be doing considering that they are gambling business. They do know on which
to target out and on which they would really be that focusing into. They wont really be that diving into this venture if they dont really know on what they should gonna do. When it comes to gambling addiction
then this what makes this business is profitable on which they are really that making money because of peoples greed and impulsiveness. If they wont really be that effective then this industry wont really be that profitable. Gambling disorder is something that we do know on which it is really that pertaining about addiction. Once you do make yourself get shackled with this then there's no way that you could really be able to get out easily.

This is why it would really be that important that you should really know on when to get out and stop when you do see yourself that you are making spending too much money out of it.
Or something that you are already compromising those important funds that you do have. This is why it would be always best that you should really know
on having that self control.

It's easy to be said, but honestly it's quite difficult if you're the one in the situation, besides when it comes to gambling, we can't deny the fact that sometimes we're going a bit too far in our limitations and take note that if you're a gambler, your mental health is at stake especially if you're currently having or experiencing unusual thoughts and feelings then accompanied by a series of bad luck and gambling losses, your mental health will really be affected so it's better to seek professional help if that happens.

That's right, especially if you have already entered and been involved in gambling, it will be very difficult to get out of this activity unless you are not too serious about your intention to gamble, but usually people who have entered and are involved will be treated with The first win can certainly make them feel more comfortable and hope that they can get results like that again, and this is where the change in mindset, especially in terms of belief in victory, usually begins. As you said, it is very likely that  someone will get involved further in this activity without realizing it and perhaps what they will feel is losing balance in terms of finances as a result of the wrong approach to gambling.

That's right, gambling does involve feelings and that means it is very possible that when we lose, especially with large amounts, our mental and psychological well-being is very likely to be disturbed and this is the reason why a gambler is reckless enough to take actions out of control, all this is because they cannot control their emotions. as a result of the mental stress of the defeat that occurred. Therefore, it is not recommended to put your hopes in gambling activities, it will only make you feel even more disappointed if you end up losing.

Saying "Try not to gamble" is a piece of advice that can be given to people who don't gamble very often or to people who want to overcome their urge to gamble. Maybe they will think about it for a while even though they will still gamble, but at least with that invitation, they will still think about it. But maybe contacting people you trust to solve the problem is also a good idea so those who want to solve the problem can immediately get help. But everything will come back to that person and if he really wants to overcome the problem, he must be able to have a strong desire to be able to stop himself from gambling.

Addiction arises because someone does it often and finds that there are different pleasures that he gets so that he will come back again to look for other pleasures. And if he often returns to doing things that can provide other pleasure, he will slowly start to become addicted and will not be able to overcome his addiction. We may have seen someone who often plays online games where he doesn't care about himself anymore and wants to keep playing online games. Maybe it will be difficult to get him to cure his addiction, but there's no harm in trying.

To overcome the problem of gambling addiction, he must have a strong desire to get out of gambling and leave gambling so that he will not think about gambling again. This is indeed a serious problem, but he must really be willing to try because that is the only way to overcome his gambling addiction. Going to a psychologist can help someone to recover emotionally and mentally as a result of their gambling addiction. However, they still need a strong desire to cure themselves of their gambling addiction. He also needs support from his family to be able to get out and leave gambling, perhaps for good.

yes, that's true, many say they can stop with the help of support from people around them such as family and friends without thinking about the addict's thoughts, in my opinion it is clear that they themselves must have awareness of themselves, so with that awareness they can have the desire to stop gambling, because in my opinion before anyone else of course they have to start with themselves first to be able to stop gambling, if they have their own desire then they will do it, but if they get encouragement from other people but there is no desire from themselves then it will be difficult to stop gambling.

In my opinion, if they have awareness of what they are doing that is detrimental to them, they can stop without having to go to a psychologist for consultation, but if they are having difficulties then there is no harm in going to a psychologist because it can really help them in the process of recovering from addiction. that's gambling.

I'm so sorry this is happening to you. But gambling is really made to be satisfying and addicting. This is why most of the time, casinos whether physical or online have extravagant colors and designs to keep you from playing more and more. They lure people into playing and betting by giving them rewards, bonuses, and other enticing offers. Hence, it's important to know yourself first before gambling. Because you need to have a strong sense of discipline in order to thrive in the industry without being lost in the process.

You can ask the casino site for self-exclusion or banning of your account so you won't access their games to help you in your recovery in being gambling dependent. It will be a hard and perhaps will be a long process, but if you have the will and determination to quit, I believe you can do it. You can also get counseling help if you can afford it to help you in the process. Goodluck to you and hopefully you'll be able to overcome this in your own pacing.

The gambler who face the loss will be the loss for him and the same was like a news to other people.The gambler mental health will be reduce daily if he keep on loss the money in the gambling site.The casino game are the tricky part of the gambling,because the possibility of winning and losing based on the handling of the prediction in the gambling site.The sports betting was based on the single phenomenon,either win or loss on the prediction.But the casino was based on the prediction all the time.Every betting on the gambling site in the casino will depend on the probability.The gambler who had more knowledge of the sports,better to use the sports betting compared to the casino games.

If that is asked, we have to go back to human basics, every human being has desires and thoughts and the devil accompanies them, that is why many people cannot control themselves, in fact they know that bad things will happen to themselves.

Where it's the same as rich people, even though they have tons of gold, they are still lustful and greedy, the same goes for gambling, where there are tons of money up for grabs, even though the money is not yet real to them, because they are driven by high desires so they forget their real responsibilities.

Yes, when someone can limit the number of bets in gambling that is played of course they will be able to control their gambling activities and also they can restrain their desire to gamble when they don't have money, because if we cannot limit the budget we use for gambling it will certainly be very easy to experience addicted to gambling and when we are addicted, of course we will not be able to control our gambling activities and when we want to gamble, we will look for ways to gamble.
To be able to win gambling, you have to have luck because if we don't have luck in the gambling we play, it will be very difficult to win and when we have lost a lot of course we will have financial problems.

What you said is true for gamblers because it has happened to me when I played gambling consecutively one week straight, I know quite well that gambling is all about what's good and what's bad you think that you will win today and you loss and next day you taught of that again and you lose, gambling is not being determined that you will win, one thing that make people to keep depreciating whenever they lose gambling is that they keep all their hope on it and that is why when they lose gambling consecutively they became depressed because of the money they think that they lose in gambling, in normal circumstances it doesn't making sense that we will rely on gambling to have a daily bread.

Have it checked and diagnosed by professionals given that you're aware of your situation and condition. Things should be done with proper medication and treatment in order to have a better recovery procedures and of course, outcome. Well, words of encouragement and self-limiting practices would help but if you are wanting for a more efficient way to resolve things and avoid making it worse then seek professional help simply because they have enough knowledge to aid your problems. Then it will e on you  as well on how will you help yourself to recover with their guidance of course.
Self discipline and all, are a common knowledge to all of us; we should avoid gambling that much, betting huge, avoid taking a loan to gamble and such. But why do people still fall for addiction? The idea is being unaware and unconscious of your actions and habits while you are gambling. That's just how addiction works to any vice of activity that consumes your time and that creates a drive to make you uncomfortable whenever you are not doing that particular 'thing'.

Every business do promotions or things that'll make them to keep getting customers and that's why gambling company's also so. No casino force their customers to continue gambling. You're the one responsible for your betting behaviour therefore don't think the casinos will be responsible for stopping you inform gambling. Be disciplined and gamble using plans and budget so you don't over gamble and getting into addiction problems like many individual have found themselves in.

The uncomfortable urge that makes you want the keep gambling regardless of losing your previous games happen to every individual but we prevent the urge from having power over us. You can be able to fight that urge when you're not addicted and having plans on how you're gambling and not just gamble without considering how much is left in their gambling account for wagering more bets you'll like to play.

You are the problem of yourself why because you allowed the gambling to control you instead of you controlling the gambling, what I meant is that you should sets a limits for yourself and locate a specific amount for gambling whenever this amount or money is being exhausted then you don't have to go touched another money in your pocket to go place another bets.

Where people fails to understand about gambling is that they don't apply rules and gamble responsibly because you allowed greed to override you while gambling, I know it's very hard to control but this shows how responsible you are in terms of gambling.

With this you said that means you can exhaust all money in your account just to gamble and win were you continually placing bet less until you win and it's also called chasing winning after lose which is not enough good reason to say that site owners is controlling gamblers and what you must know is that gambling site is not in any programed for you to be winning constantly rather it's being configured for bettors to losing more than they wins.

It's already 2024, does anyone still believe in games that rely on magic to be able to win in every gambling game?
Tell me to wake up and wash my face if there are still many who believe in superstitions to win. Introduce a new world to such gamblers to try a more open online gambling system without relying on magic. If they want to use magic, use it to beat the bookie's system with preset algorithm settings.

After reading your post and thinking about your situation I have to suggest that you should really stop gambling. Because it looks like you are gambling with the money you can't afford to lose. You know the first rule of gambling is "don't gamble that can not afford to lose". Since you can not afford it's better to stop.

If you ask every gambler about their gambling experience, most of them will say like you that providers are manipulating or playing with them. So you should have a nice bankroll for chasing the loss. and always take the losses easy and keep going forward. Keep your mind fresh during gambling otherwise, the situation will be like you can not stop until the balance goes to 0.

Everyone should be aware of gambling, so that all his money goes to gambling. An amount of money should be budgeted for gambling, so that the joy of gambling is not lost even if you lose. Gambling is definitely a matter of fun and enjoyment, I think gambling companies never influence a person to gamble. Everything depends on yourself in gambling. Gambling companies can never be held responsible for an individual's uncontrolled gambling play. If you feel that you are addicted to gambling then you must gradually come out of gambling. However, it is not possible for gambling addicts to completely stop gambling. Gambling addicts should gamble once in 15 days to break the addiction

The way is to stay away from gambling and never get involved in it when someone is not capable of being responsible because there are big effects that we will bear if gambling is carried out irresponsibly.

They are not deceiving anyone but we are the ones who are trying to deceive ourselves, the company is looking to make a profit from the gambling services they provide and that cannot be blamed because it is actually ourselves who need to be limited. Another mistake is that we think will be able to cut our losses by ordering another betting place, even though in that condition we will lose everything if we don't stop. Gambling must be handled responsibly if you don't want big losses to occur and if someone is unable to control it then that's where we will be even more stressed.

There is no way out if you have a symptomatic problem, therefore knowing what the diagnosis is allows for recovery.

Any gambler regardless of his condition of success or failure can fall from grace, but only the mentally healthy recovers, these stages happen, and are intrinsic to the gambling.

Therapy, depending on that your solution will be a complete recovery, but surely getting away from the game will be your happiness.

I understand that maybe you mean that all gamblers should only put a certain amount of money on gambling, or you mean that the amount is not too large so that they don't feel too upset if they lose in the end, however this is more advisable for all gamblers because gambling is a game of chance that has absolutely no certainty whatsoever for the final result whether you will win or lose again.

Gambling will be able to make you happy if you come with the right approach based on the right understanding, but some people feel tortured and cannot enjoy the fun that is in gambling at all, usually such people have strange goals that are not recommended such as gambling to earn, however this is not an activity to earn because everything there is random and it does not allow anyone to earn consistently, in fact you will only spin on the cycle of winning and losing, or that means today you might win but tomorrow you might lose and all the winnings today are very likely to run out in the next session. Honestly I disagree if you say that casinos never influence someone to gamble, because the fact is that very often I see many casino agents promoting on several social media by showing big wins made by promotional agents such as influencers or content creators who act as casino partners, and for that matter it only depends on each gambler whether they will be influenced or not it all depends on yourself and for addiction problems it is also clear that casinos will not care because that is their goal in order to get a lot of profit from losing gamblers.

I agree with you, gambling companies certainly don't exist and don't have the element of influencing or even forcing them to become addicted, but this happens because they are basically the ones who respond wrongly to gambling. and those who are addicted to gambling are of course due to their own wrong actions as well as their thinking which misunderstands gambling, and there is no basis in which gambling companies will be responsible if someone who gambles becomes addicted, that's a ridiculous thing.

That's right, those who are addicted to gambling of course have to stop on their own, and if it's possible to stop completely, maybe it's impossible or even impossible, they can do it from small things first, such as reducing their gambling activities and within a set time limit as determined by you. Say that, with that I think they can get rid of their gambling habit gradually, and indeed if I want to stop gambling I think it has to be done gradually, it's impossible for them to stop all at once.

Sometimes some things appear to be abnormal in the eyes of many, but when you look deep down, you will notice that they are just normal actions that could be controlled and prevented if one focuses and channels their energy somewhere else.
 
In your case, I will tell you for free that there is no form of spirituality attached to casinos, but the only form of manipulation that is happening here is between you and your mindset, on which you need to focus and work upon yourself in order to get yourself out of it.

The best thing I will advise you to do is to limit the kind of gambling or game conversation you engage in and try as much as you can to have more social interaction with people in order to get your mind distracted.

Yes, the gambling addict must be aware of himself that he is indeed addicted to gambling and must cure it as soon as possible before his life becomes even more messy. He can ask for help from people around him, such as family and friends, so that he can start the healing process. Maybe they can do a small activity first to try to take their mind off gambling so they won't think about gambling and start cutting back. Yes, the gambling addict must start himself in attempting to prevent his mind from thinking about gambling and must have a strong desire to cure his gambling addiction. Without having a strong desire, they will not be able to survive the healing process and will return to gambling secretly.

The gambling addict can visit a psychologist with his family and friends to ask for advice or ask what healing process the gambling addict must undergo. By seeing an expert, a gambling addict will know what to do to cure his gambling addiction so he can start accompanied by his family and friends.

What he says is the ideal that can happen, in Personal terms Every person who has the addiction to the game should be treated as Quickly as Possible , because it is very easy to assign any type of event to an Addicted person , for example going to a Psychologist , go to clinics Where they do whatever they do to relieve anxiety, if the person has a very Advanced addiction they need medication, how to give them the medication, all of this must be evaluated, I believe that before becoming a psychologist, the best is to take him to a Psychiatrist, because the psychiatrist is a doctor, and that is Often what a person in addiction really needs ,  because what the person in addiction does is basically look for the safest way to play, sometimes he doesn't even give importance to the value money, but because he throws himself directly into the things he wants to play and win, he doesn't care if he makes or creates many problems, he is only interested in getting ahead With his game , and that is Something that must be Avoided at all costs.

The person who suffers from the addiction and has the full knowledge and help that can be cured is much easier than the one who is with the addiction and does not accept, the one who accepts that he has a problem, the Problem is attacked and the time of The Healing is very fast and with that it makes the person much more adaptable to changes, go back to work, see life in a different way, that is just like those who come off drugs, the process is hard, detoxification It is very strong and that causes people to be really very hard when it comes to doing or deciding to do something so that they can get out of it, so the people who are like that, who have Overcome this type of Obstacles , should be role models, tell them to The others say that if they Could,  anyone can too , so this type of thing is what we should always do, not give up, and even more so if someone suffers from addiction.

Oh, sometimes even a mentally healthy person has difficulty coping with such a problem. Not everything is so simple and unambiguous. What can I advise those people who are subject to such changes? There is no need to solve the problem yourself if it is at an advanced stage. Spare no expense and contact a specialist so that he can begin to deal with this whole matter in the right way. This requires the right approach to business, and not withdrawal into oneself. This is all quite serious.

That's true, but in my opinion, if they have become addicted to gambling, it seems difficult to see this side, it will be difficult for them to realize that what they are doing is a way to destroy their life, and I think they will realize that after losing everything, it's not just money. If they are able to realize it, then they will think about how to stop their addiction, and of course they can't do it all at once because that's impossible, but as you said, they can start from small things first, such as reducing their gambling activities by also time and budget constraints. the essence of which is self-control.

and they also have to have a strong desire of their own first to be able to leave their addiction, because if they are still half-hearted then in my opinion they are still easily tempted by gambling which can make them come back or even get worse. and as far as I know, not many people who are addicted can recover from their addiction, but even so, I'm sure they can leave their addiction if they clearly want to stop their addiction.

If it's uncontrollable, then why came up with such question? But you are here because you know that it is controllable. For me, I have no problems with gambling addiction because I only have a limited amount of money :D. So if I bust this, I can now stop. I don't take loans either because I'm not that desperate enough. Yes, betting companies do some manipulations. It's either in the form of promotion or they give you a good amount of winning sometimes.

But if you already figured it out, you should learn how to avoid them. Only weak people are going to get fall on this trap. Will you let your self called to be a weak person? I'm sure you don't. So don't fall for their trap.

What truly strikes a chord is the acknowledgment of the "uncontrollable urge." Gambling, at its core, taps into primal human desires for excitement, risk-taking, and the allure of quick rewards. The very design of casinos, with flashing lights, pulsating music, and near-constant wins, is meticulously crafted to fuel that urge.

Resisting this manipulative environment requires immense self-awareness and discipline. It's not just about setting budgets and sticking to them; it's about recognizing the psychological triggers that pull you deeper into the game's clutches. The initial thrill of a win, the desperation to recoup losses, the illusion of control – these are potent forces that can cloud judgment and lead to disastrous consequences.

Get yourself busy doing other things than gambling, avoid having anything that will enable you gamble around you, try to distance yourself from any form of addiction and get your hands on something to get busy.


There's nothing like that, if they do so, it would have been everyone that will be involved in this kind of behavior, so this is more about being personally enticed and having the inability to control self while gambling.


This is nothing than addiction, if you care about yourself and bring responsible, then try as much as possible to deal with that addiction before it brings the worst in you to manifestation.

In fact, not everyone is aware of the gambling they do. I mean, like you said in this post. in essence, awareness has a broad meaning and meaning depending on how a person responds and interprets it. of course, every person who gambles can be said to be aware that he is gambling. however, it is not certain that someone is conscious in the true sense. more precisely, the outer and inner base, understanding, knowing, and being aware of its limitations. for me, this is a form of awareness. especially, if it is related to gambling. however, I really understand what you are saying. that's why, if we are fully aware, of course we know the limits of what we can afford and play without having to force it, let alone having problems with gambling disorders.

It's just that, the problem is that everyone has different thoughts and levels of awareness. the point is, we cannot generalize this awareness. however, we agree that casino platforms or gambling companies never specifically force anyone to gamble. Casinos only provide services and services as entertainment with prizes that have been provided and adapted to the features of each game. Likewise with the other points you said, yeah, gambling companies are not directly responsible for players who become addicted. that's why, every licensed casino always provides self-exclusion. so, the point of what you are saying is to the gambler.  and yeah, that's right. so that we don't become addicts, of course we must have awareness, understanding, knowledge and limits according to our abilities. in this way, at least someone can avoid gambling disorders.

People with gambling activity should realize the importance of self-awareness and redirecting energy towards more positive activities. In the case of casino involvement, there is indeed no inherent spirituality but rather a manipulation happening within people's mindset. Socializing with others and finding alternative outlets for energy can indeed contribute to a healthier mindset. It's crucial to recognize and address the underlying factors contributing to certain behaviors.

If someone is facing challenges related to gambling or other activities, seeking support from friends, family, or professional help can be beneficial in the journey towards positive change. Recognizing and addressing the underlying factors that contribute to certain behaviors is key to sustainable change. Building a support network can provide both emotional and practical assistance, making the journey towards positive change more manageable.

I've seen this happen to teenagers who often play online games. Their condition is very serious because they never stop playing online games unless their internet connection is interrupted, and then they stop. This condition will probably be the same as that experienced by gamblers, so if it is not cured as soon as possible, they will get deeper into gambling, and it will be difficult to cure. Besides that, his mentality must have been affected by gambling, so all he could think about was gambling and gambling. We cannot imagine if this happens to teenagers or our children because it will cause serious problems for all family members. Yes, we have to help him cure his gambling addiction. However, we have to take him to a rehabilitation clinic so he can get treatment from experts so that experts can start curing his gambling addiction.

People who are addicted to gambling must be treated immediately by experts before their lives become even more messy and create more serious difficulties or problems because this could impact other family members. Yes, detoxification is needed to eliminate the influence or desire to gamble so that they can return to their normal condition. This will be a kind of reset for their mind so that they will not think about gambling again after completing treatment. We will never know what the treatment process is like because that is the business of experts who try to cure people who are addicted to gambling. But we as family members must be able to always provide support to him so that he is also able to survive and be able to undergo the process of healing his gambling addiction. If there is more support for people who are addicted to gambling to continue to cure their gambling addiction, maybe the time needed will not be so long because the addict will see the amount of support, so it will make them even more enthusiastic about going through the process.

It may be difficult to heal them or make them realize their mistakes, but in any case, as family members, we must continue to try to make them aware of what they have done. With all the help from family members, we can make him realize what he did until he became a gambling addict. After his confession and the desire to heal him arise, we can then try to find the right way to cure him, and maybe we can visit a rehabilitation clinic together to get help to cure his gambling addiction. Yes, we can start with small and light activities to help them reduce their gambling activities until they can really get used to doing activities other than gambling.

It was his increasingly strong desire to cure his gambling addiction that was able to make him survive a situation that made him uncomfortable because he was still thinking about gambling. This must be prevented immediately by continuing to invite him to do other activities so that he can slowly think about other activities and not think about his gambling activities, which he has started to abandon. The gambling addict will feel progress if his family members try to help him get rid of his gambling problem. He will see that the healing process is going well, and he has succeeded in reducing his dependence on gambling until he is completely cured of his gambling addiction.

You are not manipulated neither is any one manipulated to over stake or consistently gamble. You are not the only one in this and it is greed that cause that uncontrollable pulse to always gamble even with losses.

Yes to rebet when the current game didn't win is the negative effect of gambling online because if you have your gambling staked online and you didn't win the betting ticket, there and then you can rebook the remaining games. If you are betting online then you need a great level of financial discipline otherwise you will see yourself rebooking games because you want to try and get something out of what you have lost, it creates an addition rapidly that you always see yourself login in to your app every time to check if you have won or lost.

that's true, because we as a family really have to direct our family members to good things, because it's impossible for the family to let us go if we take risky actions, but I think when the family has directed it or advised it often but the person doesn't change then the family will also give up and let him feel the impact himself, and maybe that is the only way for them to come to their senses on their own. It's true what you said, we have to invite him to do other things that are more useful, because getting used to something is not easy, so we can invite him occasionally.

even so, I don't think it will be easy, because people who are addicted to gambling will of course continue to gamble as they please and most likely won't care about anything else, therefore I think if it is difficult then there is nothing wrong with a little force because that is also for their own good. I hope that for those who are addicted to gambling, the family can do their best to cure them. because I don't think the family will just leave one of their family members alone, because of course they don't want anything bad to happen to their family members.

At least we are responsible with our family members by always teaching them good things so they don't go down the wrong path and can live well. By getting closer to our relationship with other family members, we can provide a good emotional bond so that if they accidentally do something that is not good, we can feel it and ask them about it. There must be someone who can be a bridge for family members so that if something happens, they can immediately lend a hand to help and perhaps find a solution.

Yes, it's not easy because when a family member often gambles, he will hide his gambling activities so that other family members don't know so he can gamble freely. But because of our emotional closeness to those family members, we can feel changes in them, so we can ask about them and find out what's wrong with them. At least if they want to talk about it, they will come to us and tell us about their problems so that we can immediately provide help and find a solution. Finding a solution in the form of inviting them to do other things that have nothing to do with gambling will make them trust us and try to follow what we say. This will help them to reduce their gambling activities because they see that there are family members who are serious about helping them try to reduce their gambling activities.

Being addicted to gambling is one thing another is agreeing that you are an addict because I have seen lots of deranged gamblers battle their addiction problem by themselves thinking that they can actually find a way to stop it and I don't know why these person always keeping such things to their self, if you are an addicted gambler and find it difficult to convey your problems to person then finding a way to solve it would be a problem because an addict dies faster when he keep his issues to himself.

While reading through your comments I was like wow. There are a lot of true talks in this comment, I haven't come across your comments or threads before but today I did and I think I would be trying hard to read them through when ever I come across one.

Gambling is not a thing one would take serious because of one do so, the gambler will end up losing everything he or she have and also become addicted to it.
Truly there is no spirituality in gambling, a story I heard from people about a gambler who went and fortified him self and gamble then he still end up losing everything he has and go back home empty handed. However some people who beliefs in spiritual things will want to think that one can succeed in gamble when he spiritually.

This must be our mindset cause everything in this world is temporary so meaning once we are involve in gambling and become an addict then it's better to get out or find a way how to get out on gambling. We need to enjoy our life  don't need to focus on gambling there are many good things around us . But as we all know that once a gambling getting addict it's hard to say that he can overcome or get out to addiction very easy cause it's very hard to leave gambling once you are an addict.

the question you should ask yourself is if their is another thing that gives you joy outside of gambling. The only reason why you could be facing this situation is possibly because you don't have a serious job you're doing they is taking a good amount of your time if not you wouldn't even have that time to think on making it a must that you have to recover a money that is lost in the process of gambling.

It's a bad habit and you have to discipline yourself to know that gambling isn't a job and you shouldn't expect that you are always going to double your money after you've placed any bet. as a matter of fact, the best way to gamble is to do it at your own pace, financial strength and convenience. once you are going about gambling as though your financial success depends on it, you've successfully endangered yourself to becoming a serious addict.

sometimes people with this gambling disorder have to find themselves rock bottom before they can realize though. since he posted the thread i think he already had realized. maybe all he needs is another habit to replace gambling. 

if he is doing it at crypto casino, the temptation is going to be a lot harder to fight it if he sees the casinos all the time. he needs someone in the house with him to keep him company to remind him every time.

I guess I can't understand why someone would do something that continues to be a bad time for them.  If you're at the point where you're considering suicide over the vehicle of entertainment you've chosen then do yourself a favor and find some other form of entertainment.  Gaming using a game console isn't all that much different from gambling and you can't lose money (other than wasting it on in game items maybe).  I think finding a form of entertainment you can enjoy and a separate form of employment will work wonders for you.  Gambling isn't a job and I think that's where you're making your mistake.

One of the reasons I think is because of the inability to accept the fact that they lost, usually this is the starting point for a gambler to act out of control and out of his ability and this happens as a result of the urge for recovery, this is why we must have a correct understanding of gambling along with agreeing with ourselves consciously about the basic concept of gambling which is that gambling is a for-profit activity, meaning that anything can happen, you can get the victory you want but on the other hand you are also very likely to lose.

But it is a fact that most gamblers cannot apply the right understanding of gambling to themselves, usually this happens to those who are too focused on the chances of winning so as to ignore the possible risks that are clearly inseparable in gambling. On the other hand it is ridiculous for someone to lose the will to live, I understand it is a situation that makes you feel significant pressure, but however your life is far more important than anything, I think there are still many other options they can do to overcome the problem by seeking some help from psychological experts to correct and straighten out the mindset, after that as you suggested by diverting the mind to other things such as playing games or adding part-time job activities, the point is to divert to something that is quite fun but does not involve risk.

No, they need professional help, if they depend on an external source to control their gambling, whether that help comes in the form of a family member, friend or a self-exclusion system implemented by a casino, sooner or later those systems will fail and then they will gamble once again, what they need to do is to find the inner strength to stop gambling, and most often this means receiving therapy and even medication to control their urges to gamble.

Gambling is not a job, if Op is taking it as one, he's making a huge mistake, but if he got to this stage of gambling out of ignorance, I think moving away from his current location would do. Hardly will he change in that same place, as his body and brain have adapted to playing gambling in that region. People dealing with any sort of gambling disorder can easily travel to visit friends who engage in other activities. Which can distract his interest in gambling for a reasonable period. When he gets back to his home, they'll be a difference. Gambling activities can be continued, but it will never be like before. Because he has somehow gained control over himself, during the days he was not participating in the game. Hence, as gamblers being conscious of oneself is required. The ability to determine what works with you and how beneficial it is in making life changes.

Because whatever therapy that is given to people it works differently for everyone. There are people even when they travel would look for a place to wager bet. Since the online platform allows for a personal gambling experience. It should be used to an advantage of doing what we know how to deal with its addiction. The whole control is on the human brain. People who struggle to change actually, needs to be talked out of it. As the thought of gambling has scavenged a reasonable amount of their thinking. So, Op needs help not an instruction or advice alone. He needs to tell close friends about his trouble. Their actions towards it could save the Op from undergoing such problem gambling.

A lot of replies already, but I felt it important to chime in.  First off take a deep breath and understand that there is absolutely a light at the end of the tunnel.  Typically people have to hit rock bottom before they can "clean" themselves up.  If you're truly ready for change, then it's time to seek professional help.  There are a lot of free gambling addiction websites, as well as going to see a counselor could be a great way to get back on the right path.

I truly wish you the best of luck!

Gambling need to have the survival to the next game,because the players may lose the capital at the initial stage.The gamblers who survive for the longer period able to get huge win in the gambling site.The gamblers should accept the minimum profit from their initial,based on their rank in the gambling site.The gambling site help the gamblers to win based on their knowledge and experience with the particular game.The gamblers who can make good profit from their game should withdraw the funds at the right time.If the gamblers fail to withdraw their funds,the negative impact will get all your capital at the end.

In my opinion, it is the hope of all families to want all their family members to live successfully and well, therefore I think families will do their best and support each other. I agree with your preference, because family is the most comfortable home and it is a comfort that is incomparable, also with family it is the most valuable asset so as much as possible we must be able to interpret gambling which is actually not a place to make money so that it doesn't harm us also our family.

That's for sure, because I don't think most families will be able to accept that one of their family members is addicted to gambling, it's possible that if they find out they might cry, be disappointed or maybe even angry. that's true but as you said if they want to say it, because in my opinion those who are addicted to gambling certainly won't easily talk about their gambling habits, because they know this is a bad thing so it's impossible to just talk about it, but even so, sooner or later of course the family they will find out about their gambling habits because of changes in attitude or other aspects.

Gambling disorder is not a disease diagnosed by any doctor. It's a disease you can inflict on yourself and later seek for help and advice from people and psychologist. The best way to escape from gambling disorder is by totally exempt yourself from anything gambling discussion. By targing it a virus that want to end your life. By so doing it becomes irritating to you whenever you encounter it. And use you time more frequently for other meaningful things that will keep your mind away from it.

It is the hope of everyone who wants to see their family live comfortably and prosperously. They will try their best, help and support each other so that each person will protect and look after other family members and warn them if one of the family members has done something that could cause problems. And if one of the family members experiences a problem, they will try to find a way out so they can solve the problem. If someone gambles, they will also warn him, monitor him, and ask him to leave gambling before they experience worse problems.

If there is a family member who is addicted to gambling, they will immediately help him and find a way out so that the family member who is addicted to gambling can recover quickly and will not gamble again because he has had a bad experience. And if family members hide their gambling activities until they become addicted to gambling, other family members will know about it. They will not let it go too long so that the family member who is addicted to gambling can be cured.

what you do is "stop gambling immediately" you can come back when your finances have recovered, it has nothing to do with spirituality, it's better to forget about gambling and look for work, slowly your life will improve

It would be much better if someone could stop and return when he had more money to gamble. The biggest problem for those who are addicted to almost no way to stop because spirituality about gambling will affect psychological to continue to be in gambling. For those who are not addicted to gambling will be much easier to forget and the rest will be far more difficult to leave gambling for those who are already in the stages of severe addiction.

If someone can forget gambling and find other jobs that are much better will be more useful. Therefore, before being too far involved in gambling, you should use the budget responsibly and if we get defeat in the previous place then stop so as not to affect our finances to be worse.

That's right, the family certainly won't let one of their family members experience something bad, so they will probably help as much as possible to overcome problems that happen to one of their family members. because family is the most valuable thing, and a good family will of course pay attention to each other, and also remember each other. including gambling, if one of their family members is addicted to gambling then I don't think they will just stay silent. Also, if I find that one of my family members is addicted to gambling, of course I will tell him about the effects and so on.

of course helping each other is what must be done in a family, because one person who is addicted to gambling can of course have an impact on the whole family, including family relationships, a family can be destroyed because of one person who is addicted to gambling, therefore it is more either tell it or direct it to things that have a positive side. Gambling is not always beautiful because sometimes it can also bring disaster. because prevention is better than cure.

As family members, we will want to encourage the family member who is addicted to gambling to be able to cure his gambling addiction because it can have a bad impact on him and his family. It was like when a man advised his younger cousin, who had already become an alcoholic. He never gave up trying to convince his younger brother to stop drinking alcohol and took him to a rehabilitation center. After inviting his younger brother for some time, his younger brother finally agreed to follow his older brother's advice, and now he has recovered from his alcohol addiction.

That is why, as a family member, we need to pay attention to other family members so that if their behavior starts to be different from usual, we can ask them directly what is happening to them. And before things change and get worse, we still have time to help him and encourage him to get out of his gambling addiction. This may be difficult because bringing awareness to people who are already addicted, whatever the addiction, will not be easy. Maybe more people are needed to help make him aware of his gambling addiction problem so that he can slowly become aware of his gambling activities, which have turned into a gambling addiction.

I would never qualify anyone on nuances, whether or not they are addicted to gambling.I don't understand what you mean by "a serious addict."

There are many addictions through which we as individuals can fall, but it is like cancer, not everyone dies, some are saved and others who thought they were healthy relapse and die.  Comparative at the limit, but as a psychologist will tell you.

One of the ways to help someone suffering from addiction is to help them find a specialist, a professional who can guide them and help them find the path to healing, even with medications and therapy.

Many terms used like the title of this thread, but they do not have to be related to addiction, the player goes through these stages in his playing process, it is an activity that requires mental and physical training, you have to eat well, sleep, etc.

So, if you are not aware of these things you are a player prone to these shortcomings.

Yes, most likely that will be the case of the majority here, hitting rock bottom before they can realized that gambling is going to ruined their lives. So they better snap back and go back to reality and realized that gambling should not be the one to dictate everything for them. Gamblers can voluntarily give up, called self-exclusion, but it will take a lot from them. But first the OP should acknowledge that he has a gambling disorder, and then seek help from within his family and go to professionals for medical help. It's important to understand that overcoming a gambling problem takes time and commitment to the gamblers.

the first step is indeed to accept the reality about his gambling condition. if he will be in denial to himself, then that's hard to address as he won't really make a step to find the root cause of why he is into this lifestyle. accepting his circumstances will be the first thing to do if he is seriously changing his path for the betterment of himself.

with all the suggestions, opinions and pieces of advice written on this thread, i hope the OP finds time to read and contemplate on what he needs to do whenever he is into the depressed state and thinking of doing something to his life. also, he can look into the following activities to divert his attention from negative thoughts -
> talk to your loved ones, make a conversation with your family
> find another hobby that you think you have passion of
> look for sports that you think you can spend some time with
> camping / hiking / visit a tourist destination near your place / travel / have a road trip
> do some charity works
> declutter things in your room or at home, you may feel refresh if your surroundings is tidy
> meditate / find a yoga class

Regrets do always at the end on which they cant really be able to make those realizations on early manner but rather it would really be happening in the end or at the bottom on which they've seeing themselves getting wrecked with gambling on which this could really be had been able to avoid if they are really just that mindful about on the things that they are really that dealing with.
This is why it would really be that best that you should really be that mindful about your actions and just do the things on what you should supposed to be done considering that
we are dealing with gambling on which this is something that cant really be that easily be ignored specially on playing gambling and getting addicted to it.

Most gamblers stop when their money runs out and come back when they have earned money or a salary, but this is if they work in real life and they gamble with the aim of enjoying gambling with the results of their hard work, but if they are addicted to gambling and do not have financial resources from anywhere. It will be difficult for them to stop and they will do anything to gamble and can no longer think about themselves so it seems as if gambling has changed their true character and some are also affected by mental disorders.

Yes, if they have the intention to stop, they have to look for a job that keeps them busy so they don't think about gambling all the time and they can also rest their brain so they don't get too stressed by gambling, and this takes time, but the most important thing is that someone must be able to replace their free time with other activities to divert their thoughts which are usually only about gambling.

It's not that easy as you're saying it, any individual that has gambled for most of his life and his mind has been used to gambling cannot just stop gambling like that. If an individual is addicted he'll continue gambling regardless of him being financial stable or not. There are some individual that'll gamble with the last money they have due to addiction. The only way a gambling addict can stop gambling is when he seeks the help of a professional or have his family helping him recover.

As an individual gambling, don't use gambling as a way of making money but use it as a way of entertaining yourself and you'll be less likely be addicted to gambling. If you already have a problem as you're gambling for money, look for work and change your mindset from gambling for money to gambling for entertainment and you can quit gambling from there. You also have to be disciplined to achieve quitting.

Seek help. If you want your privacy, you can go for a psychiatry consultant specialized with dealing compulsive gambling.
If you can't afford them, there are NGO and Government established Gambling Clinics and programs that may help you for free providing necessary counseling and support.
If you are in dire situation, many country have helpline to provide solutions through phone. There are many online international platforms like Gamblers Anonymous that provides support groups session.
This article is a good starting point for exploring ways to get rid of your gambling addiction https://www.helpguide.org/articles/addictions/gambling-addiction-and-problem-gambling.htm

I can't imagine if a family all did gambling, maybe the family would be very difficult financially because of course with all of them playing gambling then their finances would prioritize gambling,  because in my opinion if one family member has gambled and shows the family also the family because they want to solve their financial problems,  maybe they will also be carried away by gambling. over time I think they can accept it and will stop with their addiction. because it is also for their own good.

It's true, someone who is addicted to gambling in my opinion will indeed experience differences in behavior and sooner or later of course it will become a question of their own family.  but this only applies to families who really pay attention to their family members to be honest,  in my opinion, not all families have a good relationship, and also with everyone's different attitudes  so there may be some of them who let one of their family members do things that they think are cool, fun, and make them comfortable. but on the other hand, most families are certainly not like this  a family must have a good relationship, so they pay attention to each other.

That is a sure sign of addiction, you need to get help as soon as possible when gambling is causing you depression and the urge is so high this is a warning sign that gambling is too deep into you, and, only a professional can help you with your situation, no advice can help you cure in your suffering, you and your love ones are in danger because of your addiction, people who are addicted to gambling can do things that they will regret later so its better to get help now before something bad happens to you, rehabilitating yourself is the only way.

C'mon man, you gotta do better than that. If you really couldn't control your urges get yourself admitted to a rehabilitation clinic and get treated not only for your gambling addiction but for your depression as well. I have a hunch that you've become addicted to gambling as a result of your depressive episodes which lead to you secluding yourself from the public. And whether I'm right or I'm wrong matters little cause at this point it's either you quit cold turkey and swear not to enter or touch any casino ever again, or you find a way to do so, with the most effective being that you get admitted to a rehabilitation center.

And I don't mean to downplay you but I don't think it's as "uncontrollable" as you're trying to put it my friend. The fact that you're still able to find the time to do stuff instead of gambling is a clear indication that you can steer away from it even if it's just a matter of hours or minutes. I have a good hunch you can pretty much quit cold turkey and substitute gambling with a productive hobby instead like going to the gym or finding a job that suits your skillsets. That's pretty much what you can do at this point which wouldn't rid you of access to your phone or devices. Or maybe reach out to family members and crash into their place while paying some of their rent. You need company if you want to quit gambling, that's the only effective solution I could really advise you right now.

When you lose more than you can afford to, it will lead to regret at some point in time, but if you gamble within your means, it will have too much effect on you,  and in the end, you should be able to take whatever outcome with levity when you only gamble with an amount that you can bear at all time, this is very important to every normal gambler because only those who have been overtaken by greed and addiction will put in more than they can afford to lose and at the end, they will end up in regret due to their unbearable lose at some point.

If you find it difficult to control yourself when it comes to gambling, it's better to stop first. From what I see of you, I think you should stop your gambling before it gets worse and you end up in a bad situation. If you have been able to stop gambling for 6 months or a year, you are sure that you have control over yourself. I can see that right now you are a bit addicted to gambling, so if you can stop, do it first. You can do it, just believe in yourself that you can handle it, think positive always. You are the only one who will help you, so you should be able to handle it.

The emphasis on gambling within anyone's means and not exceeding affordable limits is a crucial piece of advice for any people participating in games of chance. Losing within the affordable limits allows for a more balanced and composed response which implies the importance of maintaining a healthy relationship with gambling and avoiding the potential negative consequences that can arise from excessive or irresponsible behavior.

Regret is always a thing for gamblers which leads to the potential emotional toll that can accompany significant losses. Responsible gambling not only involves understanding the games and odds but also includes being aware of the financial limits and ensuring that the activity remains enjoyable without causing distress. Striking a balance and maintaining control over the gambling habits is key to ensuring that it remains a form of entertainment rather than a source of regret or financial strain.

Not everyone plays gambling for fun most people go into gambling because of the money they want to win from it, what i have observed from most young gamblers now are days is that they come into gambling as a result of them seeing someone who have won big money from gambling and the person is leaving well with the money might have started something good and they want to earn and be like that, which could only lead them out from the fun that gambling gives and they will end up focusing on the winning aspect which they might end up losing all the time.

I also can't imagine if that happened to a family that had a gambling addiction because it would tear the family apart. Perhaps they wouldn't be able to cure their gambling addiction if no one else knew about their gambling addiction. Financial difficulties will come, and they will not be able to solve their financial problems, and they will only use the money they have to gamble again. But when there is a family member who is addicted to gambling and does not cause other family members also to experience a gambling addiction, perhaps other family members will try to pull those who are addicted to gambling out of gambling.

A person who is addicted to gambling will change both his attitude and behaviour so that if one of his family members finds out, they will try to help him before his gambling addiction gets worse. Some families don't care about other family members, and I have also seen this in several families around my neighbourhood. They tend to ignore what one of their family members is doing, but when this family member experiences problems, then they try to help them. However, when a family member experiences a problem, they will unite to help him solve the problem.

I don't believe that some people only gamble for money while others do it just for fun. Let's be honest here, even those who aim to win large amounts of money still enjoy themselves and have fun while gambling. The feeling of fun only changes to other emotions once they lose their money. However, the fun is always present because nobody would repeatedly do something they don't enjoy. They will eventually quit if they don't feel any emotion, including enjoyment.

That's true, just one family member who is addicted to gambling can destroy family relationships, especially if one family member gambles, it will probably have a strong sense of selfishness in each of them. In my opinion, even though there are other people who know that they are addicted, they always advise the addict, but I don't think the advice that is given will be easily accepted by the addict, because I'm sure you also know people who are addicted. gambling, they will not easily accept advice or other things that lead to gambling which must be avoided, because the addiction factor is already strong so that if they themselves do not have awareness it will be difficult to recover from their addiction.,

That could happen, but you also need to remember that someone who is addicted to gambling will become a more stubborn person, and tend to have a high level of self-centeredness and strength. but what you say is true, if their family still cares about the addict then it is certainly possible that family members will help make them aware so they can see the losses they have had, because people who are addicted, in my opinion, will not easily realize what they are doing. it was already detrimental to themselves Not only that, those who are addicted will of course ignore many things,  including advice from their families, but I hope their own families will not ignore those who are addicted to gambling.

You can help yourself if you believe that casinos are manipulating people, it might be the unbelievable true that many will find hard to accept, so why don't you accept this and be free from gambling addict? It means you still have a doubt that you might be wrong, I mean if I can make up my mind that gambling is a complete fraud right now I will never gamble again, it's that easy, because I believe it's really complete fraud.

What you believe will either set you free or keep you in prison for so long, killing yourself is not the solution, you are only going to damage your spirit being and probably pay for doing so, there is no amount of damage that life brings on you or you bring on yourself that's worth your life.

For someone who is already addicted to gambling, the day you really really quit is the day you win, it's the day your winning begins because you beat the unbeatable, now you can beat anything, you have control.

The solution to gambling is don't get addicted at all...

When you win = you wanna win more.

When you lose = you wanna get the money back.

You never win, that's why the casinos exists, only those who can control themselves are true winners, casino odds are very bad, that's why risking only what you can afford is just the best, even if you are making $10,000 per month, you should stay with risking few dollars.

That is what will happen to a family member who is addicted to gambling. It can destroy his family relationships, and he will not be able to advise the gambling addict that he has made a big mistake to his family. However, the gambling addict does not want to accept advice from other people because the gambling addict feels that he is still fine and can still control himself. If he looks and examines himself, he will see that it is true that he has done wrong to his family and that must be corrected as soon as possible. Unfortunately, the gambling addict already has a strong gambling addiction, so he will not want to start realizing his own mistakes.

Someone who is addicted to gambling will indeed become stubborn, not want to pay attention to other people around them and become more selfish. They will not want to help family members who are experiencing financial difficulties because the money is used for gambling. And his family members really couldn't meet their daily needs because they didn't have money. This requires help from other people to help make the gambling addict aware so that he can realize his mistakes and start correcting his mistakes. By realizing his mistakes and having the desire to correct his mistakes, he will know that the other family members still love him and want him to recover from his gambling addiction.

Believe it or not, but most people in gambling have the goal of making money and can use gambling as place to make money, in fact there are quite few gamblers who really want to change their lives from gambling.
This is habit that cannot be broken and the percentage of cases like this will always increase because from the start, novice gamblers also entered gambling just as place to place their hopes on making some money.
But even so, there are still some gamblers who gamble just for fun and the majority of gamblers like this are those who have had quite lot of experience with gambling, they have tasted various bad and sweet experiences from gambling.
Experienced gamblers will know how they have to have the right attitude and one of them is that they realize that gambling is not place to make money and indeed gambling is just place to have fun.

If people started to gamble because they wanted to make money, that is something we can understand, but at some point they need to realize that this is not possible and they should change their attitude towards gambling, and if they cannot do this then maybe they should think about leaving gambling behind, as it is obvious they cannot really deal with it in a healthy way, however there is many people that have acknowledge that fact but refuse to stop gambling because they want to recover the money they lost, not realizing they will just lose more money if they keep chasing their losses.

Some people realize it. Actually, there are people who after a while, they give up on chasing losses and just focus on the fun part of gambling, in my opinion the key to do it is forgetting about the losses one has accumulated in the casino.
I have read people here in the forum (in this section) who have even suggested others to keep track of their losses so they can know how much they are still supposed to earn from gambling before "quitting". It is a coping mechanism, to be honest, one which serves very well to the purpose of the casino to make as much profit as possible from the volume of people like that.

The saddest part is one encounters some guy in the casino or the internet who claims to have found a way to break the code of the casino and make constant wins out gambling: by playing in specific slots, on specific days of the week or waiting for the casino to perform maintenance on their machines before playing. Whatever, we all know how it ends up in the end when those who chase losses and try to break the code.

Human being do loves money and it would really be just that normal that people would really be coming after that no matter what and as long someone would be able to see those opportunity
then they wont really be stopping until they would really be able to admit out that they had attained their goals in mind until they would be wrecking up themselves until the very end.
This is why it would be always be wise that you should really be needing up that kind of stopping decision on the time that you do really hover up yourself into gambling field.
Once you do create or mold up that kind of intention in mind then it would be the main reason on why you would really be ending up on doing those things
and negative things come after basing up on the decisions that had been made along the way.

Budgeting is great, whether a player is focused on getting fun or not. What is crucial in a gambler's life is being able to avoid compulsive gambling. Like Op is battling with his thoughts, and what gambling has done to him mentally. It's safe to say it's gambling, and not him. But at the initial stage when he started gambling, the blame should be on the gambler. As he was in control of himself. That's the aim of gambler, not to fail during the early stages of their gambling habit. It's a matter of self-consciousness. If Op is keen to change and doesn't want to gamble anymore, it'll take him longer time, depending on the healing method and process. The gambler's family need to also join in changing their ward's lifestyle. No need blaming the casino, being focused on getting cured is the right move expected of any gambler.

It is true, something like this can destroy a family where the family has a good relationship, but with someone who is addicted to gambling, it is possible that the relationship that is well established in the family can be destroyed or bad. And indeed in my opinion if someone is addicted to gambling then they will not be able to accept advice from others including from their own family because someone who is addicted to gambling in my opinion they will feel not wrong and feel right that what they are doing is not wrong even though it is detrimental to themselves. because I have a neighbor who has experienced bad things, where he is in debt because of his addiction, and that in my opinion destroys his own life and even his family, this is real in my neighborhood.

That's right, they tend to have a high sense of selfishness and also get emotional easily. In fact, I think that if they owe money to a bank or a friend and when they have money they think about gambling rather than paying off their debt, or if their family needs money like you said, chances are they will only prioritize what they want (gambling). that's true, but in my opinion it is very difficult to make the addict aware, even with the help of other people, because in my environment there is a boy who is under 20 years old, he has just graduated from school, but he is addicted to gambling, there are many things that This happened until he had a debt of 700 dollars just because of his addiction, until all his possessions were gone, such as vehicles, cellphones and others. and I felt sorry for his family, who at that time cried when they found out that this young child already had a lot of debt because of his gambling addiction, and in fact he had been kicked out by his older brother but was still being held by his mother. This makes me think the impact of gambling addiction is very bad.

They keep on playing because they already experience winning on it, That's why there's this hope from them that they can earn more without thinking that they can even lose more money from doing it once greed hits them. For me, they can earn in gambling if they do it occasionally and not by assessing it as their main job because it shouldn't. As we know that gambling can lead everyone in addiction if people didn't handle theirself and their emotions properly.

In that case, I think you should take a break for a little bit. Losing too much causes you stress, and it will make your decision-making less effective because you have this urge to get back on track and recover all the losses you have.

I think what you need to do is count all your losses (if you want to recover all of them) and cut them into little parts so that they won't be overwhelming to look at. A small amount makes it easier to achieve, right? But if you don't want to recover it, just move on and start again.

When you want to gamble again, be disciplined; do not let greed take over. Set an amount that you are okay to lose, so it won't take a toll or you won't be sad when you lose it. Second, set a goal for how much money you want to achieve because being greedy when gambling can affect our decision-making.

You should speak to a professional if you have a gambling disorder. They can help you

A family that was previously fine can become a mess just because someone is addicted to gambling, so relationships between family members can no longer work well. They would often get into arguments or quarrels because he was gambling more and more often. Even if someone advises him, it will be difficult for him to accept because he is already too deep in gambling so he will still choose to gamble rather than pay attention to other family members. If he were a father who should be more responsible for his family, he wouldn't do it and would still gamble. Even when he was addicted to gambling, he still didn't pay attention to his family. It is his family who will suffer the impact of what he has done because all his money has been used for gambling.

A sense of selfishness and high emotions will be with these people and as long as they cannot realize what they are doing is wrong, they will still not pay attention to what has happened to their family. They will prioritize gambling more than their family, even though their family is the most important thing in their life. People who are addicted to gambling may borrow money from other people or even from the bank using a house certificate or other collateral so that they can get a lot of cash to use for gambling. He thought that if he could borrow a lot of money, he would also be able to win his gambling games, which could make him pay back all his debts and give him other money. But that would be difficult because gambling was not a place to make money as he imagined. And he will probably lose all his money and have even bigger problems.

I understand your concern about gambling's bad side. Addiction may ruin relationships and finances. Flip the script for a moment. Gamble for fun, adrenaline, and life. Not all is gloomy. I've seen many people gamble for fun without losing control. Its moderation, right? Addiction is complicated. Gamble, but also consider why. What causes addiction? Are they seeking escapism, thrills, or something missing? We must investigate the causes. Dont forget personal responsibility and self-control. I support fun, responsible gambling. Like watching an excellent movie or riding a thrilling rollercoaster. The experience, excitement, and potential are what matter. When done well, gambling can spice up life. What matters is how we handle it, not the villain.

That's right, because I think when someone leaves they had a good relationship, but if a problem occurs, maybe if the problem is resolved, it will make everything awkward. That's true, besides, if someone is addicted to gambling, I don't think they will easily accept advice or input from other people, and maybe they will prefer gambling rather than leaving it. because it has become an activity that is very attached so it is not easy to get rid of.

because people who are addicted to gambling probably won't care about things around them, including their family, maybe they might also ignore it, because they feel like it's not something they think about, even though it's something they should think about carefully, because family is their greatest treasure. valuable in life. That could happen, if they have run out of capital to gamble then it is possible that they can borrow money with the aim of gambling again. but of course that is not good, nor is it recommended,  because in my opinion doing that will only make it more difficult for them in their lives. because gambling itself does not guarantee that it will give you a win that can reverse all the losses you have experienced.

That's true, but if you think about it, there are more people who suffer losses because of gambling than the number of people who can have fun with gambling. I know that the number of losses obtained is also due to their own mistakes in gambling excessively, but what must be remembered is that gambling is not bad if it is done properly, and wisely but in reality there are more people who experience losses or bad things, right? can you be sure of the number of gamblers who really have fun with gambling? I think they will feel happy by getting a win at gambling, there is no way they are happy by just gambling, there must be other factors to be the reason they are happy, but certainly not defeat.

Do you believe gambling can enliven life forever? I don't think so, of course there will be a point where we will feel sick of gambling,  because there is no way that fun gambling will be forever, because I think that fun gambling is because of victory and with victory it is unlikely to happen often, because what is more often obtained is most likely defeat but I agree with the way we respond to it, if we really respond to gambling correctly then there will be no big losses or addiction, but I say again it is reversed.

Even if they become awkward after the problem is resolved, it will be better because the problem can be resolved. They can improve their relationships with their fellow family members, and slowly, surely, the relationships between their family members will recover, and they can live their lives normally as before. But when they have a gambling addiction, they will not accept advice from other people easily because they will justify what they are doing rather than listen to advice from other people.

When someone who is addicted to gambling no longer cares about his family, that's when his family will start to suffer because of the lack of attention from him who is addicted to gambling, and the problems he will experience will get bigger. They will find it difficult to overcome their family's financial problems because all the money will probably be used for gambling, so they will run out of money and not be able to meet their daily needs. Maybe his family would borrow money from others, but that might also cause problems because, after all, they would have to pay it back if they borrowed money from others. Meanwhile, their family has no income, and they have to start looking for work that can generate money to pay off their debts. But if the family can advise the person who is addicted to gambling until the person comes to their senses, that will be a moment to unite the family so that they can start a new life on their second chance.

If that is the case those people need to face reality and accept that even if we can get a profitable session once in a while, this cannot be done regularly, the odds are in favor of the casino and even the most elementary and basic research will show this is the case, so anyone that is thinking on obtaining benefits with regularity and believe those benefits can be high enough to offset their losses is simply dreaming with their eyes open, as this is almost impossible to do consistently.

Take a break when bills are not taking a break so I don't think I will take a break, but if things are going too extreme then I think the person should look for medical help so let us be smart and not joke with our mental health because as for me I don't think gambling will affect me in any way because, and me, when I lose that, is when I get encouraged the more to even gamble more, cause I feel every disappointment is a blessing that is my belief, and that is why I took it upon my self to gambling a lot and with my own believe it works for me, and I have learned not to count my losses because too me it will be countless, I have notice something in gambling if you want to make money you have to have a drive. then that way you are ready to make money.

Put your finances under the care of another person, like your partner if you are married or your friends that you can trust with money. If you do not have money to gamble, you will not be able to gamble, and that is just logic. Even when you get bored and feel like gambling, then log on to your gambling account on a betting platform or casino to bet on, you will not be able to do so because you have cut your access to money that you would have used in gambling even when you know you shouldn't.

Op controlling yourself maybe be very possible If you wish to To do So, no one is born To be a gambler rather we initiated the idea of gambling in our lives And that is the major reason why we should device a means To control it . The urge To place another bet when your game cut is normal And tha is the reason why you should fight responsibly And learn How To control your emotions . Your emotion is one of your Greatest Enemy when it comes To gambling because If not propeely controlled might result To careless spending .

When gambling If you lose money please learn To withdraw from placing more bets And Dont be sturbborn To recover the money you have lost already because you will end up losing more And more .
Patience is the master of everything in life especially when it comes To gambling , when you lose money please learn To endure And wear The armour of patience So you can think on the best strategy To make a Progress.

Betting is usually based on luck, no matter how much you bet, if your luck has a losing streak, you will lose.  So you can use enough tricks to calm yourself down. Sometimes it is possible to win gambling by using tricks.  For example, if you gamble regularly and start losing money there, it is a sign of addiction. Because only the addicted person loses money in gambling, regular participation in gambling should not take place.

it seems that even non-addicted people experience loss once your bet doesn't hit, as long as it comes to gambling, that's risky, there are only two things you can experience here even if you're not totally addicted, chances are you can lose or you can win. now, you said that gambling is based on luck, that's true and we are not sure what the right technique is to win a gamble, but even if you don't have a technique to get it, as long as you learn your self management and limitations in gambling, your safety is definitely secured and your risk of becoming an addict can be reduced.

I partially agree with you. I cannot agree with this that one should not participate in gambling regularly. I would say participating in gambling regularly would not be a problem if I could control myself. However, we should never risk a large amount of money by betting. Because winning or losing in gambling is completely uncertain. It is impossible to say for sure which bet we will win.

If I can't control myself, then it will be considered addiction. But if I can control myself then it can never be called addiction. This is good until you become addicted to gambling. But I have seen very few gamblers who can control themselves. If I don't spend more than a certain amount of money on gambling every day, the chances of becoming addicted to it will decrease.

As an example I will spend up to $100 a day gambling. Even if I lose money, I won't spend more than $100. Even if I win money, I won't spend more than $100. If we can do this then the chances of gambling addiction will decrease. But it is very difficult.

sometimes this will not be enough, especially for gamblers who are already in the addiction stage, because they will find various ways to get their money back and use it for gambling. so if this happens, the best way is to ask for professional help and ask them for help in providing treatment as soon as possible, either by rehabilitation or by medication. this method is usually quite effective for gamblers who have entered the addiction stage.

The reality is most people that gamble will lose their money there including myself, are they gambling addicts? nope. I always able to control myself, the money I spend for gambling never exceed than 10% of my monthly income.

Loss and gambling are two things that can't be divided, if you can earn money from gambling, then teach me or open a new thread to explain your strategy. Keep in mind, profit is (sum of you earn - sum of money you spent), if you earn for few times and you loss more than the money you earn, that's not profit.

Trusting your partner with your money is important but I don't indulged in such act, rather I'm already keen on keeping my assets in a safe place because I'm the only one that can access to them without the involvement of the third party, although my partner have knowledge about them. We have to gamble with precisely strategy for the purpose to avoid crucial losses in the system, we know how important the space have grown for us and abandoning it won't solved the current matter on ground. Gamble, I would prefer you set up principles atleast that will guide you on the right path.

When it comes to gambling or cryptocurrency, we always want to protect the privacy of personal information to keep ourselves safe. But in some cases, there is a need to inform others of these things. It is not bad if I share my personal information with someone I know or trusted. People's lives are not always at the same level. Accidents can happen at any time. If a gambler shares his gambling activities with his life partner or if he gives access to it, it definitely works effectively for unwanted events. I have seen a freelancer who had kept all his wealth in his online account but suddenly he lost his physical ability due to his brain stroke he lost all his wealth. In some such cases it is important to share all the information with a trusted partner.

Privately storing money in sketchy crypto casinos or your bank account is about power, not hiding it. It's about you staying in control of your life. Today, your partner or freelancer seems trustworthy. Life is uncertain. Situations get sticky as people evolve. Accidents, leaks, and betrayals happen frequently

Trust is essential, I know. But it ain't a bulletproof vest. Once you give someone your money, reputation, or whatever, you're gambling. You believe that's secure? Simply put, open doors invite danger. Poor guy who got cleaned out? Wake-up call now. Take responsibility for your stuff, money, and life

Dependent on others' goodwill for security? More risky than Vegas ever promised. "Trust, but verify" ? Nah. Trust yourself first. Keeping those vital facts protected isn't optional

OP, if you are in it to make money from gambling and you think gambling will make you rich or change your lifestyle then you can't stop yourself from gambling. If you think you can stop yourself from gambling but you can't control it, don't be disappointed. You can never call this situation a disorder rather it will be a challenge for you. You first try to stop yourself from gambling slowly and then you will see that you have been able to stop yourself from gambling for a long time. If you are still unable to abstain then you can consult a psychologist and you can do family rehabilitation as well as meditation if needed.

Yeah, people who don't share the details about their finances or places where they have kept their financial holdings are making a mistake because life is unpredictable, anything can happen at any given time, so it is better to give all the details to the closest person so that they can access the financial holdings in case of an emergency or an event where the holder can't access them anymore for any reason whether it's an illness, sudden death, or anything.

The best way to do that is to write a will and mention everything in that, hand it over to a trusted lawyer who would read it out to people whose names are mentioned when the person is either no more or isn't able to do anything with the money or holdings.

Anyone that gambles constantly and daily or almost daily is surely to become addicted soon yet everyone in such stage also has the same belief,that one time they will hit it so hard and so big that this huge win can be a life changing event especially for people living in not so well developed countries where the level of poverty and corruption is sky high.I don't blame such persons for wanting a solution out of this poverty which some call misery yet they should be also well aware that sadness,losing of all money and really becoming nervous for anything happening to them will be emphasized much more than normally.So it is a two way street with 80-90% chances of getting the bad things and 10-20% chances to have these good life changing events happening to you,overall it is up to the person what he wants for himself.

Sharing about our gambling activity to other people is a prevention that we can do so we can asks for helps from them to comes to us. They will knows what they needs to do so they can helps us immediately when we almost lose self control. But we must search for the right person that can really helps us so we don't waste our time for waiting for the helps from them. Yes, accidents can happen at any time so we must knows what we should do and with sharing to other people, at least we have a way to asks for helps.

They will comes to us when we asks them so we can tells what happens to them and not waiting for too long to wait for the helps. They will helps us with the right methods and they can asks us to go to rehabilitation if that's necessary.

That's the reason why we need to search a trusted casino in order to prevent such losses. And also to prevent our identity to be shared to anybody else. Every time we gamble we need to follow some of thier rules and regulations one of that is they will ask some KYC and the best thing is once they are trusted enough then even though we gave some our private informations then there's a chance that we will be safe. But we must remember that everyone of us here must control ourselves and be vigilant.

What the OP wrote that made me so curious is the Spirit part, how is that even possible? Well, our countries vary, and so do our traditions and beliefs, but still, it will be nice if we stick to the physical realm so that we do not relate what is not there as though there. Well, I will not deny that I'd thought about that in trading many times too until I found the right means of doing it better, nothing is spiritual here. This is why I would like to encourage anyone going through a tough time in gambling to also look at the two important points, which are; 1. They need to locate the rightful skills that will be strong enough to deliver the best to them, and 2. Access gambling as what it is.

In the first part, one can go for the best learning and get to keep their trading psychology intact and also manage their trading portfolio. These are doable and such that are within their power. So, they should be done rightly even as they are cautious about gambling. But for the second part, it might be beyond the limit of the gambler most times. For accepting gambling as it is, we can't eliminate the fact that luck is important here. Can we control luck? That's not possible, that is one of what we accept as a fact but use management to cover for some excess in case the luck is not forthcoming as expected.

There's really only one solution available to control this uncontrollable urge and that is to stop gambling at all. Once you get to the point where you no longer can control your gambling habit it has already become an addiction, and it's a serious problem that you have to deal with as soon as possible.

Yes, that's exactly what gambling companies want from you, to get you addicted and suck all your money until you have nothing left. There's no secret about it. We can talk all day about moral aspects of gambling industry but that's for a different topic.

The thing is, no one is forcing you to gamble your money. To you, it feels that way because you're addicted so you feel like you have no control. But you've got to realize that every time you are gambling/betting it was your decision to do so and you've got to take responsibility for it. Sure, gambling companies will try and do the best they can to entice you to start gambling your money using all kinds of methods, more or less ethical but ultimately legal. But at the end of the day, you are the one who take the decision, you are the one in control of your life and your money.

You keep doing something that's hurting you and just can't seem to stop it, that's exactly what an addiction does to you. I recommend calling for help as soon as possible, otherwise the situation can degenerate even more. Either a friend, family member, physiologist and if none of these are available there are plenty of resources you can find online for free to help you.

How do you think is that easy for someone to stop gambling when he his actually suffering from a gambling disorder whereby he is unable to control himself, then he can indeed stop gambling, then he should be able to control himself from being an addicted gambler, this same thing have been found with many gamblers whereby they have started what they can't be able to finish, obstinance could be the remedy and in this situation, the gambler will be left with no choice than to have no access to any means that can make him gamble, which is out of what he can control by himself.

But in my opinion every gambling addict should not try to stop gambling, sometimes people are too focused on wanting to just stop gambling, even though it takes time to reduce their addiction, it can't be short, so everyone must understand that all gamblers should focus more on reducing their gambling habits. because it is this habit that makes desires and distractions stick to us more and there is an urge to continue gambling, I have tried this and I am not trying to stop gambling but reduce gambling by limiting the budget and time, as long as it is controlled everything will be fine.

Everyone will easily stop playing gambling when they are used to gambling at certain times and not every day gambling eventually becomes a habit that sticks, gambling addiction is indeed a disease that is difficult to cure, even the people closest to it will also find it difficult to cure it, let alone help it to recover, the point is that it is enough to reduce or manage your gambling time and set a budget so that you don't gamble excessively and look for other pleasures besides gambling because the mindset must also be trained that gambling is to seek pleasure and have fun and nothing more than that.

I understand the appeal of gambling, especially for the poor. A glimmer of hope, right? My knowledge of odds tells me that the house always wins in the long term. Statistics are truthful. Most individuals fall deeper, which is problematic. Psychological and financial ruin are involved. So heartbreaking.

I support personal responsibility, but be honest. People need the whole story, the brutal facts. Not betting all their hopes on a long shot is the solution. We need real chances, not desperation-based systems, to improve lives. Education, work training, etc. A opportunity to win life through hard work and assistance, not a lottery ticket
