I will stop gambling.

[Cointxz]

I myself was a very addicted gambler. Not only did I lose all my money, but I also had the audacity to go to the bank to borrow some more. I also did not hesitate to borrow from colleagues and friends. At that time, I liked all the options. I did not understand the consequences of my actions. It was already too late when I fell so deeply into a financial hole that I did not see any way out of this situation. It was difficult for several years in a row to pay off debts and loans.

This is an extreme experience on gambling. I’m losing big time too but never have courage to borrow money just to fuel my gambling without any means on paying it back. I do borrow for gambling I can pay it immediately even if I lose the money.

Can you share how do you recover? It’s very tough to fight addiction and at the same time financial problems because they are connected which means you need to solve both at the same time.

[Dunamisx]

I have never been in this situation before. There was a time I spend money on gambling than necessary and I am losing all the money but I did not feel like to stop gambling at the time, but when it was too much, I decided to stop and I stopped. But I believe in what you posted and it will only be a sign of gambling addiction.

what op said is exactly what is happening on gambling, because I know quit well that in the gambling you will decide today to leave gambling and after you have taken a decision and later run you continue gambling again, it's not addiction, why I said its not addiction is that most people who says they will not gamble again and later start gambling it's because they have feelings on gambling and they have realised that during gambling its neither you lose or you gain, so what matters is to gamble with precautions so that you will not lose what you can't afford to bear, also they are people who said they will stop gambling and they stopped gambling totally, so the decision to stop and not to stop gambling is a personal decision

That is why some things were believe d to be easier said than done, we can't just stop gambling by saying it, because there have been countless times we have uttered some words we often forgot we did and later sees as what we cannot take any longer, some conditions could come in to trigger our actions in uttering these words, that is why you can today discover some going back as against their words, gambling is not easy to leave or quit, because we have already been used to playing games right from time, except we apply a conscious approach that could be effective.

there is not habit  that can not be stop, depend on the person. Gambling is a habit and same time a hobby, its only a bad habit when you are losing money but when you are winning no one will call it a bad habit. Gamble has turn many to billionaires it has also turn billionaires to poverty. its a life stuff, choose what you wan with gambling. but don't let it be your only hope, like without gambling you cant survive, that will destroy you financially and emotionally.

The easy way to stop gambling if your are not lucky for the game is to stake less and pick few games, if atall bet only  on your favorite team doing weekend game, do not paly gamble daily it will help you spend less on it. Gambling is one difficult habit to stop, because at time when you are down, gambling will help you. one have to be conscious just as you said mate.

We don't necessarily need to quit gambling if it already became a part of our life but instead we should stop seeing it as a way to earn extra income. It's the main cause of addiction for me and also the main reason why many people keeps playing again and again after saying they would stop many times.

Gambling is not bad if we do it only for fun and spend money to it responsibly. Setting a budget and putting only the amount you can afford to lose.

Before a pure gambler leaves gambling, they most be a reason, neither the gamblers doesn't have the capital to gamble or the gambler is aged enough to participate in the gambling, most of the gamblers doesn't because of accumulation of what they lost in the gambling and leave gambling, but people who doesn't have interest on gambling and their intentions is to win or make in the gambling are the one that leaves gambling immediately they lose in the gambling, it's easier to leave gambling, the two options I gave is what will make people to leave gambling very fast, except that you find out that all time in gambling you haven't benefited from and you have taken the decision to leave gambling totally.

[Mate2237]

Countless times. But honestly, I thought that you're confessing that you're about to quit gambling. And that's how many times I've said to myself that I quit gambling but that didn't even happen. I'm still here, I am still gambling and I have an idea that I won't be quitting anytime soon and that's why no matter how many times I say it, I'll still gamble.

Confession will not help anyone to overcome gambling it takes determination to overcome gambling which may not be pleasant to anyone who is gambling setting up of boundaries which is about limiting the amount of money used in gambling is one thing that will help.


Gambling is one thing that people has been struggling to overcome as it's more of a trap that has put people on hold and it will only take a person with a strong will to overcome gambling back up with action

[AYOBA]

This is a harsh reality, it happens to many people, basically it is very difficult to get rid of gambling completely, people can face the situation and they stay away from gambling for some time, but they can never completely ignore it, after some time automatically come again in gambling. To be honest, I had such an experience 2-3 years ago when I was in college, but now I gamble very limitedly. But one thing is very true that even if people try to get rid of gambling, they cannot get rid of it easily. To get rid of gambling, you have to keep your confidence and self-control strong.

Some people prefer to leave the money they make in gambling behind, which is why, even if they are losing, they will continue to gamble in order to pay out. Maintaining self-control while gambling is critical, but not everyone wants to do it for themselves, which is why they continue to lose even when they least anticipate it.

Seriously, it is extremely difficult for individuals who have already become involved in gambling to leave. They don't care how much money they lose each day; as long as they're still making a little money from another source, they'll make sure they gamble some of it to multiply their money.

That is right after big loss many strongly promise  to stop feeling regret and wanting to avoid repeating mistakes. However as days pass and emotions calm especially when they get more money urge to gamble mostly returns leading us back to same pattern. This never again promise mostly made in moment of pain can be broken repeatedly because habits are powerful and underlying reasons for gambling are not addressed. If anyone has addiction so I do not think so he/she can leave gambling. I have seen many cases in my life who promise but they again found at gambling place.

That temporary pain they feel from losing Makes a lot of gamblers start regretting their actions but this is something that can easily be avoided. I don't tell myself that I would stop gambling out of regrets because I have learnt how to gamble responsibly, if you can control what you stake you wouldn't go through this phase as a gambler. Gambling irresponsibly would only take round in circles

This issue is common whenever gambling is mentioned, it’s all about becoming an addict or not and for some certain reason this topic is a major problem. Discussing contionious topic like this can enlighten one’s mindset although viewing gambling as a source of income is very wrong and the end result will lead to damage, gambling can’t be predicted even when analyzing different strategy including new skill yet it doesn’t determine a 100% win, the moment they realize outsmarting the casino is impossible they’ll start viewing gambling as a game not a source of income.

those that fall for this are the ones that take gambling to tightly in the Sense that their may have taken gambling to mean a way of making income, this way they gamble with the aim of winning by all means, this actions Force the to chase after their loses to the point that they become depressed temporarily if they don't quit at that time, gambling within your limit will always lower the risk that comes with gambling and reduce the pressure of having to meet a particular direction, so for sure let say gambling should be with an amount that you can afford to lose and easily move on by taking a break in between.

Professing to stop gambling is not what we can say and expect to take effect as immediately, instead, it requires some procedures in which we may have to go through before things can be in order as we have expected of them, for no reason as well should a responsible gambler think of stopping, because gambling gives its own entertainment and there's much of fun in it than never, which I don't see a reason why one should stop to gamble except by using an approach to mitigate it's effects.

If we treat gambling as entertainment, regret is less likely to happen because we never assume or think about winning in the first place. Instead, we aim to enjoy gambling. I would say that gambling is bad as long as we manage ourselves correctly. It only becomes bad when it causes problems due to wrong approaches and irresponsible actions. Yes, many gamblers find themselves guilty of this, but I wonder why they still don't change. They are still committing the same mistakes over and over again.

If approached properly, gambling does not have to be a financial burden for us as long as we play with small amounts of money and follow risk management rules. However, the impact of losing still affects our mood. For example, if I place several small bets and all of them lose, it can personally influence me, and my mood will not be as good as before. Even though I have not lost anything significant, and I am sticking to all the gambling rules, the emotional impact remains. So it is important to understand that gambling affects not only the financial side but also our emotions, and this should be taken into account.

[I_Anime]

How many times have you said that to yourself? usually we only say this when we've already lost badly. Once we've lost control and a significant amount of money, we regret our actions and promise ourselves we won't gamble again. We tell ourselves we're done gambling to avoid repeating the same mistakes.

But what happens afterward?
Days or weeks pass, emotions settle down, we get our hands on some extra cash, and suddenly we're gambling again.

Have you ever been in that situation yourself? How many times have you promised yourself you'd stop gambling only to find you're still doing it today?

TBH I haven’t gotten addicted to gambling before, but I nearly did though but due to short funds after losing I decide to stop on time before it getting worse .

One have been gambling for a while now so it won’t stop like that it will take time like a process , maybe he or she will start with reducing how frequent they  gamble first . Because some are fond of gambling regularly which is not healthy because life is all about balance. So we need to know how to balance things , like balancing your gambling life style with your daily living .

You can only stop gambling when you no longer enjoy the fun in gambling. If you're still enjoying the fun, I don't think that one will have any reason to stop gambling wether he is making profits or not. Majority of us have been gambling for a long time and will continue to gamble till old age. However, we can only go on break in order to discipline ourselves from getting addicted.

This is indeed what many old gamblers do. Take a break from the gambling routine, either because of a series of losses or because they don't want to be bothered by gambling. Then they will definitely gamble again in a new situation.
This step will be easier to do than quitting gambling completely. Because it is difficult for those who have been actively gambling for years to stop immediately. Especially for those who are addicted, the process of quitting gambling will definitely not be easy.

Easy to say but hard to do. But when the gambling we do only ends in losses and losses, and only has a bad impact on our lives in the sense of experiencing a fairly severe gambling addiction, then how can we be determined to end the gambling activity.

If this happens to us, then to be free from this addiction we must be able to be honest with ourselves that what we are doing is wrong and only harms ourselves, block all access related to gambling, delete all your casino accounts and block all gambling sites that you often visit. and if your environment or circle of friends only brings you back to gambling, then stay away. Fill your time with more positive things, try to find other pleasures that do not harm you. And finally, if you feel you need help from outsiders, don't hesitate to ask for help from others.

Apart from the fun, making money is another good reason, if you are loosing so much more than you are making,  that could be a reason you would want to quit gambling,  and you will also need to decide that it is too much of a loose to bear so you will want to quit but if you are ye tto put your mind to wanting to quit then you may still jot resolve to quit so all this and even more are factors that leads to you quitting but then even with all of this some persons will still not quit, they will still gamble and believe  they will win huge someday and recover from all of that which they have lost while gambling.

I have read dozens of articles about gambling addicts and not one of them has ever said anything about a statement that would stop him from entering a casino. I mean what is called in my country "self-prohibition of gambling". I think many gamblers know about this but do not believe in the effectiveness of this method, because it does not consist of the gambler's faith in himself, but the opposite.

when it comes to quitting gambling, it is not something that you can quit easily, so the best thing you can do is to quit gradually by cutting the amount used gradually, but it's something that you will do gradually. but stopping at once will be very difficult.  But at some point, everything is now looking difficult, especially when it is addictive and people want to win money, and this is why they have been placing bets to see if they will be lucky to make a win, so the best thing that can be done is for them to just but there self under observation so there is no way that everything is going to change is anyone is not ready to make changes. and there is a need for people to make sure they control there greed, most especially.
