Giving up gambling is not easy

[kodes88]

Its not easy to give up gambling if you already addicted its difficult to give up this kind of habits. Because gambling is everywhere you can gamble if you want and you are free to gamble. But there ways that helps you to give up in gambling especially when you already addicted, like find something replacement activity or go with your friends and try and keep busy to not go gamble and make decision to yourself, this make you feel easy.

Habits like gambling, smoking are very much dangerous because these things are highly addictive. Anything that gives you pleasure and relaxes you is addictive in nature. People do gamble to reduce their stress and enjoy their leisure time. You really need some medical support to give up on gambling.

No I think it doesn’t need any medical assistance to get rid of this gambling rather there must be a lesson to them. A lesson of loss, a lesson of losing every valuable thing, a lesson of their worthlessness. And then ultimately it is only that person himself who can determine whether after these harsh lessons he wants to give up this addiction or not.

We may be able to quit without medical help, but asking for medical help is not a wrong thing, it's OK if we ask for medical help. It is part of the business and it can work. But everything comes back to us, how much we intend to quit, how much effort we can stop because the help of anyone will be useless if we are weak.

It's not easy to give up gambling once you've become addicted into it. You can't give up because you always think that you wanted to get back all the money you've lose and that's the only way you can stop gambling. It's really hard but if you have strong determination and willingness to stop it, you can actually do it. It's in the mindset of the person and the willingness. If you just keep on thinking that it's not easy to give up, or whatever negative thoughts in your mind, you can't really do it. Stop thinking that you CAN'T but rather keep thinking that you CAN.

Everything that you become addicted to, that's how you really make it a habit. Like in your everyday life, you would always think about it then suddenly it consumes all your time, energy and money and you would still want to do it, that's addiction. If you want to stop addiction, maybe go with support groups.

Nuno find a new hobby that will not lead to loss of money or you can play gambling on a demo account to enjoy the process, but do not lose money. And it is even better to invest in gambling sites in order to constantly make a profit.

Much better just find a new hobby where you can dedicate most of your time there. And instead of gambling all day long do that hobby all along with your time. It can be good if you find interest together with other people so that you can have an easy way to give up gambling. Try to search and look for your interest where you did miss of doing it, like biking and other sports that can get your attention.

It is a very serious addiction is gambling, there is a good chance that you can lose everything if you are not careful. It's not that you have to give up gambling its that you have to learn self restraint and know when to stop.

The only reason you can't give up gambling so easily because it has been part of your life or part of your daily activities. It's hard to give up too when you need to recover your loses but this is a mistake recovering loses will lead to another loses if you are not playing good. If you want to give up it then you must act on it.

With a bit of self will,i believe that we can do anything that we want to do in this world, getting rid of addictions can be hard especially an addiction that sometimes makes you money, Money runs the world and everyone wants it, Gambling is most of the times the easy way to get money without committing any crime at all. One does not easily give away a habit that makes him money. not at all.

Self will , strong will yeaa it could really make you to get started giving up gambling.
But the question is on how you do that? You should have a real action too and leading to that strong will.
Go for professional help could be the best option , rather than doing it alone by yourself , why not to give it a try?

I agree with you guys with the strong will but the question I have in my mind is that how can you measure your will, that it's enough to get you going when it's rough. For me, I'm trying to quit something that I have done and almost relied on it and I don't want to anymore, I guess I have a weak will.  I think I know how to deal with it with strong power and faith in God.

There's a lot of things that actually you could do while waiting your will getting strong and fixed.
Looking for reason why you have to stop gamble , is that hurt you or not etc.
And then the answer i believe will back to the gambling problem solved , they have experienced deal with it.

Sometimes the gambler is well aware of the dangerous outcomes he might stumble into if he keeps on playing this game and he also wants to stop it. So finding the reasons won't do any good, it would be an extra work. He must pull his courage together and leave this game.

Religion is nothing but a bunch of principles and faith. You may claim that you have no religion but you cannot say that you do not have some principles or rules in your life. All those rules that keep us safe make our religions and we follow them. That's all. Some people may not play gambling because they think it is harmful and it is while some religions prohibit it and safe the person beforehand, without trying.

Im sure atleast everyone has religion. Even when they claim that they are atheist, they know that it is wrong to gamble but we still gamble right ? we dont follow the rules and we keep gambling, when we are addicted then it is going to be hard for us to get out of it. We keep on not wanting to quit until we realize that it is too late to quit

Everyone knows that despite of difference in religions, it is a common thought among all of us that gambling is not good at all. It could not be classified as a virtue but is more a sin. Gamblers being aware of this fact do not give up on it just because they are addicted to it. This is not easy to eradicate form your daily routines and need a lot of time and thinking to quit.

True, if gambling becomes our daily routine which means our mind will lead us to do it again and again. We may stop it gradually if we found something more fun than gambling with one condition, we have to spend most our free time on that new thing.

you don't need to think much , just a short plan , huge desire to quit and a real action. that's all you need , it's not that hard when you have a lot of motivation to realize it , for example when you love people around you and won't ruin their happiness because of your gambling addiction , then it could be a great push for you to keep moving and stay away from gambling.

There's no way to quit gambling by yourself and when you came up to the point that you are too much addicted in gambling. No matter how hard you are going to try you will end up failure. I did that before I thought I was strong enough but when my mind tells me to visit a casino and that's how it goes. A companion out of gambling is a big help.

There is a way which is to store your possesion in a safe place and make sure you cant reach it. It is no longer gambling if you are not wagering anything so when you have nothing to gamble then it will not make any sense for you to gamble. You dont need a companion for this because all you need is someone trusted to look after your possesion and make sure that you will have no access to that

Yes there's a way and I can think of if you are going to fully surrender your life to our God, He can help you out. Though I'm not pursuing you to be religious, there are people who manage to quit gambling by seeking help from God and I guess that is going to be an effective solution for quitting gambling alone.

Well gambling and religion are two things that doesnt get along and Im not really going to drag this conversation further as Im not really a 'religious' person however this is not really going to help you unless you have a decent faith and still the best method is to have nothing to gamble so you wont have any desire to play

I'm not also that type of religious guy but don't say that it is not really going to help you out. Whether your faith is strong or not but if you are willing, you can do it. I saw some of my friends that turned their ways back to God did really changed their lives and from a gambler they did manage to reduce their gambling activity.

Indeed, Changing yourself is not instantly be happen. It takes time or there is a process before you totally change. Then it can be change only if you will help yourself to lessen your habit or hobby as well as until you reach the peak of totally disappearing of your vices in gambling.

If one person got addicted in gambling and wanting to stop its hard to make is quickly, its need to have step by step or little by little yo make it true but you do not need totally change your life.
At first just lessen the capital and play in gambling(set a limitation)
Second is try not to access gambling site if it is online if offline dont go there.
Third is just think other things to do or make your day very busy in other things.
I think if you can do that you can stop gambling or even lessen it.

Every great change requires time but many gamblers do not even think about the change. Gamblers that decide to quit this game must be appreciated and helps by everyone who is surrounding them.

If they have support of their close ones, the task becomes easier and they can recover quickly than those who have to do everything alone. The best way to get out of gambling is to replace it.

Hi guys and girls! After making quite a lot of money then losing it and crying about it half the 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 gambling casinoes I can use? U know just for fun and for the fix.

Of course it's hard to break a bad habit. You need discipline and hard work. It's almost the same with any vices, smoking, gambling, computer addiction or whatever addiction it is. You need to start with your self and you need to convince and discipline your self if you want to stop. Find other ways to satisfy your cravings and urge to do it again.

I became an addicted gambler and with my experience it's really a hard thing to quit gambling. You are going to fight against yourself even your body doesn't want to gamble anymore, your mind will tell you to gamble and it's just fine because you can quit on the next days to come. And when that happens, you will still do it again and the cycle will be repeating.

The same thing happened to me as well. I cant quit and I keep on coming back. For some people like us it is hard to quit gambling because it might affect ourselves. It is better to keep playing but with small amount so that we wont really risk alot of money even if we need to keep on playing. It is the best thing for us that cant stop playing

the first mistake occurs when we first play gambling. for example is when we consider gambling as an income then we will very easy to get addicted. but if we only consider gambling as an entertainment then I am sure this will be solved easily. so it all starts from the initial goal that we believe.

that mindset, the way i see it, only serves to further one's attachment to gambling and eventually converts them to addicts. personally, i think it's more important to set limits for yourself going into something like gambling, and adhere to those limits you set for yourself strictly. i think people take way too lax of an attitude with gambling, which i can't understand. you're playing with your money, and i think that fact alone dictates you need to take a more serious attitude regardless of the amount involved.

It's easy tho. If you're a religious person and believe gambling is a sin you must stay away and never come back to gamble world again as you might get addicted again if you touch gambling. However, it's really hard for those who have missed much money from gamble to quit probably they will play again to recover the losses which is a wrong idea to do.

If you are a religious person for sure you will not be addicted in gambling in the first place. Let's assume that this people who have problem in gambling are victims of themselves. They are desperate to make more money so they might think gambling is the only way to solve the problem but they failed in the end, when the problem is money and you spend money to solve it but you failed, I guess that would result to a bigger problem.

People who have this kind of serious problem needs help and quitting is not easy without the help of people who truly care for them.

Indeed correct! A religious person will never get attracted by gambling, therefore never trying it at the first place. For those people who are weak from inside, it is easy to indulge in gambling. For such people, gambling is a solution to all their financial problems but they end up the other way.

I still don't understand why religion has to do with everything else? I myself not a religious person but I never got addicted in gamblings, its just I don't like the feeling when I lose something that I work in just playing bets.

Why did anyone even discuss religion here? It all depends on the person if he will be addicted or not. A person that is religious can well be addicted to gambling and religion will not help. A atheist can also avoid gambling without problems as well. So why are we even discussing religion as a factor for getting addicted?

the religious zealots like to inject their beliefs into any and all conversations and topics to make their beliefs relevant to themselves, just ignore it.

I also favor your stance in this discussion that gambling addiction has nothing to do with the religion of the gambler. It depends entirely upon the nature of a person and his or her own will that whether he wants to continue with the habit or finds it better to quit according to the situation.

If someone gambles just for the sake of fun and has no greed of money at all, then how could one state it as a sin with reference to the teachings of his holy book. In short, if a person is involved in some sort of activity, it is his personal decision and is never influenced by his religious identity.

Exactly, it is very difficult to divert ourselves once we are addicted to it. I tried much time not to invest in gambling but many time I started investing into gambling because sometimes we feel that gambling is unforgettable job though we are losing in it.

It is a really difficult task i wouldn't disagree with you on that but when you gamble you are causing a liability on yourself you are risking your potential savings or even money for entertainment whenever you plan to gamble just invest and try to forget you will make good money

As you already said like spend more time with your family and friends in outdoor activities then slowly you will forget about these games. As long as you gamble even couple of minutes on a regular basis then you can't come out of these habits but you have to stop playing completely for some time then only it is possible to come out.

I am not a very religious person but if we are going to discuss about will and stuff, it would be more of a philosophical talk but a person wills gets stronger due to its faith and his faith has roots in his religion. Ultimately, religion does affect human nature.

I have not seen many gamblers in Islamic countries as I have personally visited some. My dictionary says anything becomes sin if it is a cause of pain to anyone and gambling is.

Having no faith is also a faith so it is ridiculous to say that you are not affected by anything. Every one has his own principles and definition of good and bad. Without them, he will be just an animal. Our personality carves out of it.
Gamling is not right according to me because people get ruined. That is all what I have to say about this topic. It is harmful and risky.

THis is harder than we thought, of course advices and religious beliefs is a big help but how about the person who got succumb to gambling? We've seen a lot of them and they're life is broke. Discipline to our inner self and measurement of balance of what is too much is important. Psychiatric approach and rehabilitation can help too. Inspiration and belief, friends and family can help you.
Gambling is fun when you are enjoying it and casually playing. But making it as a way of living is another story.
