Giving up gambling is not easy

[cotton ball]

There are many problem in this case where gamblers cannot stop gambling because of burden and life cost that can't be covered from my main job. I've had debt that can only be paid from gambling. I understand this is wrong but after the debt is paid off I try to distract in the trading market, not entirely succeed because gambling lust continues to exist when I go online but at least more effective to reduce excessive addiction.

gamming is the best way to avoid more gambling , online game or offline , but offline game is not recommended for me . because you doesnt have friend on there. also keep your money on bank or your mother

Maybe for you gaming works bu not everybody loves gaming you just need to find something that you find fun to do and that will keep your mind away from gambling. If you have that then it will become easy.

ome gambling games there are some who love but also anyone not liking it because everyone will have fun and find something in the game differently as well so keep your mind off gambling might in the future will become addicted to gambling.

Its completely depend thyself quit gambling practice or whatever. Having a gambling problem or addiction is just a case of the natural human being. Get control of your habit, tell yourself to stop thinking about gambling. Get busy other job, try to recover from gambling addiction or problem and regain control of your life. Gambling addiction is one of the hardest problems to stop though there pretty much example many ppl recover it.

Addiction is natural in human being but it's effect is not really normal. So if you want to quit gambling, think positive.

Think that you can quit gambling very easy because if you will think negative.

The application of quitting gambling will be negative too and you will always think that it's hard.

If someone is addicted to gambling then it becomes hard for them to leave gambling and they feel like they will get the benefit from gambling so continue to gamble for all of their money. They gamble unless they find any other source of entertainment or any company to make him busy and entertained.

It's a hard task for them to leave gambling just like what we are saying. There are some that says it's easy to leave gambling.

But in reality, that's why you are addicted to gambling because you can't leave that for real.

If you want to quit gambling, always be optimistic that you can overcome your addiction.

Find a new hobby to replace gambling. Try working out, learning to code, video games or something like that. I wouldn't recommend gambling with play money, the best thing to do is do some new hobby whenever you feel the urge to gamble. Just keep it up and the urge will eventually go away.

It is so easy to say, but it is a very hard thing to do for those who are addicted in gambling. Changing their waysbon how they would earn money is too complicated for them. They just want to earn money in a very easy way, yet the way that they have choose is too risky but yeah, they could earn easy money on it if they are lucky gamblers.

Yes they don't have any option they must follow the expert's suggestion and stop gambling. If they do not stop gambling, then they will lose their personal life also. Don't need to do anything just think about your family members and your future then automatically you only decide and follow the expert's suggestions how to stop gambling. My suggestion is an addict any online mobile game this is the best way to stop gambling.

This might work for some people, but in general I think those are different types of addiction. You can't win real money playing a mobile game online and that's why it's not addictive for addicted gamblers but just boring. To give up gambling they should to stop thinking of it as a source of income in the first place.

Exactly. There is no money involved so there is no thrill for addicted gamblers. Gamblers wants the rush of getting a win especially if the bet is bigger. So I don't think that online mobile games will be effective as means of giving up your gambling habits s there are no money involved.

I think it will work, online mobile games like poker will be a good way to stop addiction. It will be really effective if the game that they are playing is their favorite. And as we all know, gambling addicts do not want to lose, and if they are teased in this game, they will be more focus to play this game. Yes, there might be no money involved, but there are still bets on the game, and it is really exciting to do that especially when the pot goes high.

Then why don't play free poker tournaments or dice with money from faucet? I thought we were talking about mobile games other than gambling and that's why I said those games are boring for gambling addicts.

focus on trading is a good solution but we should have balance in the market exchanges to get started. if a gamblers have a strong passion to giving up and leave from gambling games, i think they can do in every time they want and they don't have a problem to stop from playing the games. although still there is many people that having difficult to giving up from gambling, but they can trying and gets started from now on and its better not to late to leave from the gambling industry.

The big wins are delayed in gambling, because you understand that there is always a chance to win the same amount or even more.

it's really true that giving up gambling is not easy, according to one of my friends, it's like a drug addiction, gambling is nothing but the greediness of earning money without an effort. people sometimes become so greedy that is why they take risk more and more but ultimately their effort in ended in smoke. but greediness of money again allures them to take participate in gambling.

Giving up on playing gambling is really tough especially if you are addicted to it. We became addicted because when the time we lose, we tend to try to come back and even if we won we also tend to get more profit. Gambling isn't bad especially if you use it as for fun however if you always gamble it is bad not only for mind but also on health.

Whether you are addicted or not you can always control your self by not playing gambling for only 1 day every one can do it unless you don't have discipline on your self. We tend to chase our loses but when we just accept the fact of we lose and try to come back later / in another day maybe it can help us not to stress out our self to play more on gambling.

I found that meditation helps with most problems.
Once you start meditating you'll realize your shortcomes, you'll feel peaceful about them and will be able to solve them

You need not have to do the meditation on your own. It is not easy especially if you are overly addicted in gambling. You can approach professional help that is able to select effective measures to tackle your problems. It involves meditation, strengthening of will power, identify possible traps and triggers, avoid pitfall and many others.

Who says giving up gambling is not easy? I invited my friend to do gambling and yet he won the game but in the end he end up his money with his greedisness on playing but he don't want to get back on gambling anymore he is now busy at the gym building his muscle lmao. If you really want you can do it by your self no one can help us to quit only our self.

I think this will solely depend he someone has control over his own self.  and more importantly if someone has a diversion.  just like what happened to your friend,  I think he has just self control to stop for it.  and what he did by going to the gym is a good diversion to get away with gambling.

Depends on what a person can replace gambling. Going to the gym can bring a sufficient dose of pleasure like that from gambling and so it will replace them.

If he can not find the replacement, he will start doing gamble again and again and again. People should have a strong mind to against gambling, not just find a suitable replacement

That is the problem with people nowadays then are pretending that they can control every thing by chasing there loses from gambling that there still a chance to get back what they've lost already from gambling its simple that when you already lose try to accept the fact that you already lose. Quit and came back next month for the another luck and chances.

[wuvdoll]

Quit and came back next month for the another luck and chances.

If this is possible for any gambler then there would have been any chances for gambling addictions which might be resulting in giving up gambling is an easier task.

Honestly no gambler will be ready to accept their losses and that is the reason they always want to recover their losses. In the process of recovering, they do get gambling addictions and finally finding it is too hard for them to give up their gambling activities.

yes it is too much important to keen an addicted person busy in some profitable activities, from where he can make good profit, if he will not find time for playing gambling then gradually he will become use to with his world and will give up gambling.but after that for a long time he will not try to visit such area where he may have chances to play gambling,otherwise he will start gambling again.

come to think of it, why donwe have to require a replacement? are we that weak emotionally and intellectually that we can't stop gambling if we will ourselves not to? I think everything is all in your mind and that if you put your mind to it, however hard it is, then it would be possible to stop anytime you want

[passwordnow]

The big wins are delayed in gambling, because you understand that there is always a chance to win the same amount or even more.

If you will always have the mindset like this, you will end losing all your funds. Because you will always believe that your big wins are delayed. And you are not going to give up and stop gambling if ever you will have a small amount of winnings for each day. But if you will change the way you think in gambling, you can give up easily.

You are wrong on this and I am able to accept what I lose. For me gambling is a kind of entertainment therefore when I lose, I dont feel that I need to recover what I lose. It might be different for some people however Im not the same person that you are referring to. Sometimes different thing do exist alongside with those normal thing

You have admitted that you gamble for fun so if any person will gamble for fun then he will spend that money which he can afford to spend for fun while the others who chase their money are the people who think gambling as a source of income so they invest their capital in gambling and when lose they start to recover and for that they spend more money.

yup it's easy to play with fun when you play with small amounts only, but in another case if you play with huge amount you will afraid to lose your money even when you though you already accept that play with money afford to lose. addicted gamblers would be hard to forget the loss they got that's why they would invest some more to get back what he just lost even non-addicted gamblers would be hard to forget if he played with huge amounts.

I also started with playing small amount but I lose my interest and I go bigger that's why I lose bigger as well.
I think it is important that you control your emotion in gambling because if not you will not be able to follow your bankroll management.

It is okay to be optimistic , but let's see the fact in real life that a lot of people still get lost with that way to think.
Better to keep avoiding high risk decision such as to keep  playing even though you know you will lost.
Try to looking for another alternative to move from your gambling bad habit.

I can only hope that this won't happen to me. I gamble for almost 2 years and I never lost more to it than I can afford, so it wasn't a stressful experience for me even once. But I've read a lot of posts where people say they also started gambling just for fun and now they are addicted gamblers, and this creeping me out.
