Giving up gambling is not easy

[roadbits]

I 100% support your decision. Like any other type of addiction, it should be overcome. To avoid the temptation to get back to gambling, you should always be busy with something.
So, yeah, you definately should get yourself a good new hobby. Some psychologists suggest to try extreme sports, for example... but this kind of activity is definitely not for everyone.

Anyway, good luck to you!

Agreed. Its great to set yourself a goal. Once you complete that goal, you'll feel uplifted and great overall! Good luck on giving up gambling! We all have your back!

Extreme sports is really a good source to stay busy and to stay away from bad habits but sometimes when people start to involve in sports they start to bet on sports and once again involve in gambling and again start losing their money.

Yes what you choose decision it was really good decision if you really follow this and you quit gambling means your future would be superb. But for this you have to straggle few days but if you strictly follow some conditions means you can quite this with in few days. Nothing is impossible in this world but we have to give better ones that's it good luck mate.

Gambling addiction is not like that. The only type of addiction that you can quit cold turkey is drug addiction. But alcohol and gambling is a much longer process and its best if you seek professional help.

I think so . Giving up gambling has a much longer process because addiction of gambling is just like cigarette or alcohol addiction they have a process that needs to be done with people that has a disorder like that . And it is better to consult a professional like psychologist etc . But do it if necessary . If your gambling can be stopped without consulting to them .

[ardentvolcanoes]

If you are really addicted to gambling and cannot control your habit you should really need to stop . Whether you bet on sports, scratch cards, roulette, poker, or slots in a casino, at the track, or online gambling can strain relationships, interfere with work, and lead to financial catastrophe.
But gambling is not always bad but some people makes it bad for themselves .

[European Central Bank]

You got a gambling problem and you intend to keep working for a casino? I think I can see the first necessary step pretty clearly. If it's really that bad there's research going on into using drugs to take the craving away. Maybe ask a medical professional. At least find a pro who specializes in helping people with this. It's a deep problem.

[RussianRaibow]

If I were you, I would get as far away from the gambling atmosphere as I could, if I was really serious about quitting.  I think your plan to work at a casino is a very bad idea.  You will see people winning often (a lot more people will be loosing, but you will only notice the winners) and it will be tempting to you.  If you are really serious about quitting, give it up all together and find some new hobby that you enjoy and can take your mind off of gambling.

the level of hardness only depends on the person who wants to do it, giving up gambling can be super easy as a pie for one person while it is super hard for another. it only depends on how much you can control yourself so you have to first work on this controling techniques to acheive that.

For gamblers I don’t think that gambling is too much easy to leave, they are addicted to it and they play again and again and do not leave gambling o matter how much you try to understand them, but they leave until they lose all of their money in there.

[mishra1994]

Nobody knows better than me...i was addicted to it I keep loosing but still cant stop myself from that...but now I earn a bit from bitcointalk signature campaign..so I stay away from it and keep my bits

yeah we all know that giving up gambling is not an easy task by any means. but it is something that you have to do sometimes because if you don't give it up in case you are addicted to gambling then you will soon end up losing all your money and with the price of bitcoin going up, it would be really hard to see all that money lost.

I think that you should gradually get rid of your gambling addiction. Remember that gambling isn't always bad either. You can play for fun and the losses won't matter as much to yourself.

But I agree that giving up gambling is not easy.

I think that's a great idea. I won't go cold turkey I'll ease off slowly but surely until I'm using only dust or making intelligence bets on teams in esports.

Well I tend to disagree with you at this time, because I believe that addiction should be left at once and forget ever about it. Why I am saying this is I had a bad habit of smoking and tried slow and steady but instead of working it made me dull, but when I had  road accident I could not smoke at all, then and now I never smoked again.

Good for you then dear sir. But I don't think that could actually work for anyone. Something big happened to you that is why you were able to quit. But some others don't really have to wait for something grave to happen before they quit, they just have to commit into the action. Anyhow, happy to hear you were able to overcome smoking.

[dinda22]

Yeah you are right. gambling is not easy, because gambling has a very big risk.

if you give up, it would be better for you. indirectly you can stay away from gambling, because to stay away from gambling is difficult, especially if you've many previous loss.

[michietn94]

The main factor that can help are environment and family support !
I have neighbour that commit to suicide because he can't paid his loan ( all money are being spend for gamble ) and there are no family that care to him anymore

[Dr.Osh]

of course it was not easy, the same as people smoke, you would do it again and again, it needs a strong determination to surrender in a gambling game, but it would be very much of a temptation that will make you want to come back again to play, many people are doing those it, but most of them return to play

[beerlover]

Hi guys and girls! After making quite a lot of money then losing it and crying about not hapfmthe afternoon I have decided to give up gambling for good.  Its not for me in have a much too addictive personality. So now I just plan to work for casinos but not gamble.

The thing is you know you should cash out but you always want just that little bit more and then u lose the whole lot. I'm stupid and greedy. Right after I lost i put more in and doubled it then I went all in and lost it. So yes u can make a killing gambling with such a small about like a few dollars but then u lose all u make and waste a lot of time and energy and end up getting upset. Also i shake like mad when I gamble and I hate that. I tremble. When I lose I can't believe what the screen is telling me.

So any thoughts ? Ways to stop ? Ways to gamble with play money ? Maybe there are dust ga!going casinoes I can use? U know just for fun and for the fix.

The only thing actually will work is your own will and willingness to stop it. See addiction is not a problem or difficulty that would get away just of you ask others, its a in built greed/mindset that makes you do it again and again.

That is because gambling let you think that you can earn a lot of money with it and that is really bad because if you are addicted the chance to lose money is high.
And you have to realize that gambling is bad to do because the money that you lost is all wasted.

nah, you just have to realize that earning money with gambling is not guaranteed. an I mean you should accept it as a fact and not just something that you say.

when you really accept this, then that is the time that you can really enjoy playing games and gamble on all these different casinos.

also in that case your losses would be nothing because you bet what you can afford to lose.

what you said is correct, every thing is on mind if you can control your mind and thinking then you can do what ever you want. We have to find the ways of how we can leave the gambling , First a gambler have to ask it himself that he have to leave gambling and know the problems what he is facing due to gambling , then automatically he will start to avoid gambling. It is not easy but if you determine to do it then nothing is impossible.

there was this unoriginal & boring article i was reading out of curiosity the other day.
there was this one part saying you should approach gambling with discipline.
(im not a gambler, not by a long shot so i'm not really the one to give advice but...)
i do think having a method & sticking to it would save any person a lot of trouble in any activity
(whether its gambling, high risk speculative trading, even regular/routine productive activities etc.)

@op imo working for casinos is a horrible idea
it's like trying to go on a diet & staring everyday, all day, at people eating at a feast & having to serve them food, as your job

Yes for some people leaving gambling is hard but for some it is much easy like a pie, but they are those people who are more intelligent and who know that gambling is not their future and play games on casinos only for fun for a small period of time.
