Giving up gambling is not easy

[serjent05]

If a person will calculate its expenditures in gambling and for his other daily needs then he will not be in situation that he will lose all of his money and will not be in a position that he will lose his money which he have kept for his daily needs.

It is not about calculation that will make you avoid spending , or losing money that you should not have lost, instead it is the execution of plan.  It is how you will control yourself from betting those money allocated for family needs.  Many people know how to calculate but the problem is the implementation of it.

The best way to stop is to take all of your money off of the  gambling sites so you can't access it as easily. Then just make your money harder to get to by leaving it in the bank and only get out what you need for bills, food, rent, etc.

I also like to know and want to learn if any member here can share his idea how to stop my addicting with gambling, specially in sportbook betting..

There are a lot of ways to stop your addiction in gambling.

1. Try to look for some activities that can eat the time you use for gambling.
2. Consult a psychiatrist or a mental expert for helping you out what to do.
3. Learn to appreciate your parents help, they will be the most effective people to help you out with it.
4. Use your money wisely.

This is just some on my list.

I think when the problem is too big already you have to do the number 2 in the list, you cannot quit or give up without the help of other people and since there are professionals that can help you, you must be willing to be help. We need to change from bad to good and it is just right to be submissive all the time and follow what is right for us to continue the healing process. Never underestimate gambling addiction as it has ruin many lives already.

I agree, it should be tried out though there are people says that this isn't helpful but for me this will help you out. Even it will cost money, it will be worth it if those severe addicted gamblers wants to give an appropriate solution to stop their addiction. Just follow what will be the possible solution or suggestion he/she will give to you.

I think the third option would basically have the best impact if you're really considering quitting. Just think about what you're parents are going to go through if you continue with your addiction. Though if you are able to gamble responsibly, I don't think it has to come to it. You can gamble if you want but you have to know the responsibility that comes with what you're doing

It depends on how much you appreciate your parents help. All of them are helpful and it depends upon where you are able to give up gambling. As long it will be helpful to you just take the advantage of them all otherwise you are not giving some space for other things and you don't have the willingness to give it up for real.

Most certainly. People just get greedy as soon as they start winning a little and forget their own limits. This is why gambling is so dangerous for newbies. Only a certain percentage of people pass through it to become experienced and also financially normal.
People should put their limits first, they should know what they are afford to loose.

i dont think what you are saying will work in stopping gambling because if one is already addicted to gambling, he will do anything to have money to gamble. even if he put it in a bank. remember he has still access to it. so he may cash out from his bank, cash in to his wallet then buy bitcoin and gamble again.

Maybe, but I think it could possibly be one thing he could do along with many other things. Of course, some kind of counseling and a support group would probably be needed as well.

[zidanw]

you are less apt to ask here and I guess all the people here have never stopped gambling. The first you should do is stop accessing gambling the rest you can wrap yourself with work or something else that takes your time.

- I think when a person is addicted to gambling, they will do everything to make money playing gambling. They can not control their behavior and they will be very upset if they do not gamble. And making them more difficult to withdraw money, that only makes them crazy, it's hard to imagine what would happen if they did not get the money. Maybe they are going to rob or kill someone and then they will become a dangerous criminal. Giving up gambling needs to be done over the long term, we should not force them

Giving up gambling is never easy. Gambing has been part of your life and your life is already evolved around it. So a lot of support is needed to change you. One important factor is always the support of the loves one. They are there all the time to help you to overcome.

It is part of your life if you choose not to let it go. There are always an option for you to stop, either you take it and stop or that you continue to gamble. Nothing is going to change when you choose to stop however your mind is not determined enough to stop. It is crazy to see people see this as a huge complex problem

Many people became broke because of gambling, addiction is a serious disease, you know they can't stop when they win or lose. Pathetic gamblers.

It's pathetic and that's why I would recommend a psychologist for any potential gambler because when you eventually lose more than you can handle then you should know that's the dead end and if care isn't taken you'll become an addict.

A professional psychiatrist / psychologist needs to help gamblers that are in such serious situation like this one. There are some saying that it won't help and it will depend to the gambler but with such guides from these people will help you to give up gambling easily also don't forget your family will play a big role for it.

Quitting from gambling is definitely not easy. If someone is really determine to quit from it, it should come from both sides, the people that advices/guides you to quit from gambling and yourself that really want to escape from addiction. That way you will slowly get out of addiction from gambling and start a new chapter of your life.

Of course you should do the initiative and you need to have the willingness to quit gambling. If you are not that willing then what's the sense of quitting if you are not willing. Also you need to find some more interesting thing that will catch your attention so that you can have some time for relaxation to yourself and forget gambling a little by little.

Willingness to quit gambling would really be needed and should really be the first step because next steps wont be effective or useless if since from the start you are not willing on quitting it because you will surely play gambling again no matter what. Strong patience,determination and discipline would really be require for you to quit gambling gradually.

Those you have mentioned that a gambler needs to quit gambling is very essential. You should really push yourself in quitting because if you will not push yourself and you are not determined with your plan for it. You will just fail yourself on quitting. But if you are aspiring and hopeful to quit gambling, go for the goal.

I think that the best way to quit gambling is to realize that you are an addict and then to sick for help.
If you ask a professional help they could help you much better then u could help yourself.

We really can't quit gambling alone we need to accept the fact that we can't do it by ourselves. Seeking help with others is just a normal and it shouldn't be a thing to be ashamed of. Because if you are desperate to quit gambling you will do something for it, whether it will come from professional, friends or family.

quitting in gambling is the hardest thing that most gamblers can't do it so easily, and its hard because of the addiction they had in their character. But if you are really determined to quit, you can make it as long as you close person which it can be your family, parents, girlfriend/wife, and friend who can guide with your problem.

As long as they dont destroy themselves because of it, it is better not to quit. Sometimes when you try to quit, you will keep on remembering the moment that you spend your time on that so eventually you will come back again. Just dont destroy yourself by gambling too much and you should be fine with it

You are right, It is extremely hard to quit gambling for addicted people. I think it's like a drug for them.  I don't agree to stop them for doing gambling. but if they decrease this addiction day by day, it will be nice.
Maybe one day, can stop it. Anyways, doing gambling is awesome for me. I don't do it for profit or to be rich or somthing like that, It's just for fun. Usually, I feel good when i placed a bet.

[serjent05]

You don't know any of these things because he didn't say anything about it. He said he is addicted to gambling and it's literally impossible to quit, and I can't agree with that. Also he said online gaming is good to forget about gambling and i can't agree on that either. Online gaming can lead to addiction too.

Anything in excess is bad, and anything that triggers any alteration of mood and person became dependent on it can also be called addiction.  But if we are talking about giving up gambling, anything that can divert a person attention away from gambling can help.  Are you saying that due to the fact that a certain thing is addicted he should not try it and be use to divert his attention away from gambling?  So if you can't agree with online gaming to forget gambling what would you advice him to do?  Go out on a date and have fun with peers?  That can be addicting too, so from your definition you should not agree with that too right?  Even eating is addicting. So he should not eat either?  All should be taken in moderation  that is my opinion and I agree with online gaming (not online gambling) as diversion.

Yeah, once you are totally addicted on it. The same addiction with drugs and other things. With the help of those people you had mentioned and seeing the support they are giving to you, for sure you'll realize that they are not giving up on you and you should keep on fighting with that addiction in able to give back their support and show them that you can.

Seeking help in professionals like psychologist will do. Friends and families that are there for you no matter what is a good factor because you will have a reason for change. But no matter that change is still depends on ourselves. Because we are the captain of our mind and soul. And sometimes dramatic event that happened in your life can make you quit gambling too.

Yup, one it became a habit it will be hard to break. Some cells in your body urge you to gamble because it became hungry for gambling. Of course the determination is there but the factors that still urge you to gamble will be a problem on quitting. But still if other really did stop gambling why can't you? Right?

Families, relatives, love ones, if we have something to protect on, if we have someone that pushes us to quit, if we have someone that lit the fire in a heart to change it will be great. The problem nowadays is that lacking support of those who he love. Or he doesn't have someone at all. Sad right? They say that when people are not there for you and you need to stand in yourself you will be stronger. But the truth is that people you love and treasure that always been there for you is what makes you stronger. Don't leave people who like to better themselves.

This seems to be what everyone is suggesting and we know that they are the ones that you can lean on when it comes to this situation. And when your at worst of your addiction, they are the ones that can easily understand your status and they will not going to get tired on helping you at the best that they can just for you to quit gambling.

It's probably something that requires a lot of discipline and willpower, but I do not think it's that difficult. As long as you know to immediately recognize the limitations of this game, and the consequences of staying in it for too long, your mind will be able to make a greater effort to keep you away from it.

You are definitely right, it's only easy to enter in gambling but when you get addicted you will be having a hard time to quit. However, you have your mission and you must do that otherwise it will totally destroy your life, gambling is always good but being addicted with it is the bad thing.
For new gamblers, they should learn from the experience of others and instead of being aggressive, they have to slow down to control themselves.

[AjithBtc]

Giving up gambling is not required when you have some limitations and you yourself make restrictions to the gambling platform. Mostly the user who losses continuous easily quits and the one who gets rapid wins and fails gets addicted trying hard to retain the loss.
