[DeathAngel]

Quitting gambling can be very difficult for some people. They might need professional help but if not they need to find other things to occupy their time.

Professional gambling addiction treatment is often the only way to break a gambling habit for good. While many people like to think they can control the desire to gamble without professional intervention, the problem is often too complex for a person to handle on his or her own.

Individual and group therapy on an inpatient or outpatient basis through a clinic or residential facility can help a person find the inner strength to work through problems and the willpower to resist temptation in the future.

It happening because they don't want accept their lose and it is really hard to take responsibility on themselves mistakes, that is the reason people got addicted of gambling just because of keep trying again and again with hope to recover their loses one day.

I believe that one of the main reasons is profit, so if you find any form of investment that can replace such practice, it might work. Sometimes you just need to focus on something different, that can bring benefits.

Yup Quitting gambling is not an easy task. We have to stick with our decision, whatever happen no matter we don't look back to gambling again. Then only it is possible otherwise it is very tough. And we need our family members also help, sometimes doctors advice is necessary. So if we follow this, there is a chance to quit gambling.

exactly, there are gamblers who are there to gamble not for their amusement but to earn money, they consider gambling as a way of earning, they think of it like a milking cow.. Working and earning from different job will keep you away from gambling, I also believe that there are gamblers that when they feel like they are wasted doing gambling, they will quit and maybe that's the nicest way to quit, it's like overdosing your self til you don't want to take gambling anymore..

The day you understand the nature of gambling you will just say goodbye to it. Gambling is something where you can not make money if you keep attached to it. You may win sometimes and same may loose little bit but in general this can be profitable as gambler. If you win jackpot and run away you will be luckiest. Sooner or later you have to face big loss. It had better stay away of it with small losses or profit. No one can convince you unless you realize the dangers hidden in gambling.

Yeah, this is definitely correct. Experience is the best teacher sometimes.

Quitting gambling might be easy or simple as it sounds in my own opinion because everyone by default is filled with the quest to make money the easiest way with minimal effort and in which gambling then comes to mind. But basically like others have suggested, its a personal decision to quit but Dont expect it to be automatic but take it slowly and gradually... My 2 cents...

You are right, there are two things to stop in gambling, the number one is voluntary which means you stop in gambling because you already lose interest in doing as you have identified the risk in doing it and number two is you stop in gambling because you have no money to gamble anymore.

Choose between the two fellas, I am pretty sure you will not choose the last one.

I think we don't need to take it slowly when quitting gambling, if you do it like that, there is a tendency that you cannot quit gambling, for sure from time to time you'll say to your self that "hey, maybe I could start quitting gambling tomorrow, spare me this day" which I think will result to just going back to daily gambling habit.

Really very difficult to get out of gambling because we will definitely continue to bet if we tried, although slightly. It's better if you want to get out of gambling should immediately come out in full. It was very hard but if done continuously would succeed. Change the habit of gambling and replace it with other activities such as trade, it will help to eliminate the habit of gambling

When you are addicted the only real help you can get is from your friends and family.
If they care about you they will fight and help you getting rid of this nasty addiction.

[gabmen]

It's going to be hard especially for someone who's already addicted to gambling to put a halt to it permanently. I think first thing to do is to avoid people associated with gambling. Try to socialize more with non-gambling peers. Then try other hobbies that are non gambling related. It starts with a few simple steps but eventually with the help of friends, one can actually quit

I think the best is to replace it with something else you will enjoy. Something that involves risk too but not as bad. Otherwise you will just go back to your old ways of gambling half your money away. A new hobby will provide great distraction.

New hobby and family support will solve the problem,

Find some productive activities that are time consuming also,
so that you can alter your mind in to it rather than playing gambling games.

Try playing some sports or doing some research,
having dinner or meeting up with friends.

There is a lot of ways to stop gambling.

It is much better to have a hobby that is no money involve, I think it is better hobby than gambling because gambling is not really good hobby at all. If you say "hobby" you will do it every day. So I think an online game is better than playing gambling all the time. But if you guys really want a risk then I will suggest investing than to gamble.

i think gambling is not a bad habit. it become bad if a person is playing it badly and wrongly. it become bad when a person make it a way of become rich in a day or so. my personal experience is that when i came back from my job in evening time i went to my friends house. as we have no casino in area therefore we do gambling on cricket match. when i went to my friend's house there we get on live cricket matches. i play gambling in a limit. for the money which i have budgeted for my pocket on daily basis. if i won its ok other wise i will lose only my daily limit of my pocket money. so i think its not bad its just fun and enjoyment.
 

Gambling is never really bad nor good since it's just a game that required a user to be played. It is the users responsibility wether what will be the result of his decision in gambling. You can't blame a game, that's hypocritical.

True! we are the once who responsible in our self, especially when we play gambling, cause we are the one who choose to play gambling and no one dictate us if we need to play or not.

Curiosity sometimes kill, well in gambling people may turn addicted to it and yes no one dictates you to play gambling because you are the one doing it but I think curiosity sometimes will strike to a person, you can really think for your self in what will you do from the start you should know that gambling has many effect that may affect you, knowledge in something would help you stop your curiosity towards something specially when it is bad.

But I think curiosity is just fine, because if they don't try to play gambling they will don't have idea what it is and how it works, they can also used their experience here for them to learn something and for them to be matured enough.

Out of curiosity worst things starts to happen, so when that happens of course you really want to quit and stop it for real and good.

And the solution for it is you are going to give importance to your own money, think about that you have plans in the future.

Instead of investing it into gambling, put it into your bank accounts and hope for it that it can give you a good future.
