How to stay away from gambling? suggestions ?

[teilwalL05]

Gambling is very much like smoking.

Use your brain, control yourself. Both of those habits will destroy you in the end. There is no exception.

Ask this to yourself? "Do i want to live?"

If the answer is "yes" then stay the fck away.

-drinking is fine btw as long as you can control yourself-

keyword is "control"

Don't you think the reason why they got addicted to gambling is because they lost control of themselves? And now you're telling them to 'control' themselves?

It might be easy to say for a normal person to an addict to take control. But control's the very thing that they lost. It doesn't work that way, buddy. If someone's there to help them control themselves, then maybe that 'control' will work.

If they can't control themselves then they are dangerous.  Just tie 'em up in a hospital and don't let them out till they got it:)

LOL my point was they can't control themselves to not gamble. Not like they got insane or smth. They just can't stop gambling.

That is something to Struggle about Addiction yup! if you are addicted to gambling you are mostly can't control your betting and never want to stop in playing gambling, and there are certain levels of this addiction that needs to be seen by a psychiatrist they are the one who will advice in what to do in case this sign have seen in an addicted person.

Turn your gambling addiction into something that is socially acceptable and low risk to yourself. Like investment banking, then you can gamble on the stock market with other people's money.

Any addiction is actually rooted into something else, something that keeps you from living the normal life. I think it's best if you should just try and figure this out first.

Haha smoking and gambling are usually negative activities. Any other activities will be better. But i really love the idea of becoming a stock broker and use other people money to gamble while you take a commission on it.

that would be cool but in order to become a stock broker or even a professional gambler you need to have a good history and have gathered a lot of trust and even then many people will not trust you with their money especially not trusting you to gamble it for them.

Gambling and smoking indeed are same in addictive condition, but it is different if you compare like this : can gambling for fun? Yes. Can smoking for fun?of course not.

"Control" is easy word but it is hard to act like that, it is not a concrete solution.

Boht are fun because it depends on the person who's doing it. Now it will only be sad if you lost in gambling and you get disease in smoking.

Both are fun and both have a sure way to destroy your life. If only there are gross images in gambling like in packages of cigarettes. I heard pictures of lung cancer in cigarette packs is a good way to prevent people from smoking. If they have something like that on gambling, people will gamble less. Anyway, self control cannot be trusted if you are already an addict.

yess you were right about both a sure way to destroy your life but i don't agree with both are fun part , smoking are not fun at all (i am not smoker by the way) but gambling yes it is.

sadly a casino always showing a luxury, a glamour thing which can make people fall into it. can you imagine if a casino showing something opposite to a luxury and glamour?it might help addicted gambler.

find things that are interesting and focus on that and you'll soon forget about gambling

[wildan88]

Yes, the key is to find someone that can hold you fully accountable for your finances (probably because it affects them too.) Someone that you respect and isn't going to be easily fooled. It should be someone  who is willing to deal out some real consequences if you make the wrong decisions.
The person who is holding you accountable may get the help they need from this group. http://www.gam-anon.org/

I think that site will help a lot of addicted gamblers or players here in this thread, well mostly you have concern for other gamblers and want them to deal with their addiction I think this is the best way for them to settle down in their bets.

ya this thread a lot of advice to stay away from gambling, because we care. but I think they will never practice it, or try to really to stay away from gambling.

Yup! you said it, people mostly try to make an advice to somebody but in themselves they can't really do it! some people here are very good in giving advice that is so true but very hard on applying it on them!

I myself could stay away from gambling, and only play to have fun, even today rarely play gambling.
and I had to give advice here, most likely not many people do it. because I see no one who commented here that they have been successful stay away from gambling.

You need to find a hobby that makes you feel in danger and gives you euphoria :

In this regard bet365 is one of the best sites, once I looses a lot of money so worried that I am addicted badly they called me and helped me in every possible way. Hopes our BTC casino also develop that way too

Seek help from organisations such as these:

http://www.helpguide.org/mental/gambling_addiction.php
http://www.ncpgambling.org/help-treatment/
http://www.youthgambling.com/

.
You also need to develop a mindset that gambling would not gain you any profit and would just ruin your life. Do ask your friends and family to help you to manage your money. If you have problems with online gambling, blacklist the sites using your firewall and set a password to reset them. If you have the urge, take a moment and think about the negative impact of doing it. After several months, you can occasionally do it but restrict your sessions to a few times per months and a fixed bankroll per game.

Yeah just think about what gambling can do with your life if you continue to keep doing this. Gambling has ruined many people lives and most people know this so you have to learn from those people mistakes and not make the same mistakes.

It's hard to find new interesting things when you are already addicted to gambling...It will be much better if someone would introduce to you new things...But if you are just starting gambling and you were afraid of losing more money, then, you your self could find a way to escape...

Summer is coming people. If you are fed up with gambling and want to take a break go out and take on some summer activity or sport. I am getting into flying drones myself and it's a lot of fun and certainly keeps my mind off sportsbetting.

How would you think he can stop from his addiction? an addicted person can't stop from his addiction you can't just stop what you are doing most of your life and just say to yourself that I'm gonna go do the other thing around, because an addicted person can't say no on the things he wants to do most of the time! to stop in his addiction he will need advice from a psychiatrist and will need rehabilitation to most certainly stop him from gambling.

This won't work to some people as some drones only fly for like 8mins. But if you've got yourself a pretty decent drone with a good battery life and/or you've got extra batteries for your drown, then this will drive you off from gambling. You can spend hours controlling drones and taking videos high from above.

But nevertheless, any activities that are able to keep yourself busy will take your mind off betting. Spending quality time with the family or with a good friend is much better than earning a little amount of money from gambling.

How do you use for so as not to get addicted in gambling is very true, but I think the way only applies to people who don't have a big enough hope in gambling. In contrast with those who have great expectations in the gambling a thousand ways he used to shy away from addiction will surely fail, because they were from the beginning already have huge expectations in gambling, Except they eliminate those expectations will certainly be easily to stop gambling
