The best way to quit gambling for good

[aranachristianjay]

The best way to quit gambling for good is to spend more time with your family, special someone, friends, and go get some job. Gambling will never fix your life if you continue gamble then in the end you lose. And also always seek for guidance, this is the best way to quit gambling for good.

Well, I think there are more gamblers that have a job because if they don't have job how can they gamble without money. And that’s true that one of a good way to quit gambling is to spend more time with your relatives and friends or make some adventure with them, go out of town so that you are far from gambling places.

I agree because we can gamble more if we have a stable income, like me I have a decent job but I gamble as well. I feel that gambling is giving me time to relax and usually have a quality time while gambling, and I have only achieve that now after I was cured from being addicted to gambling.

And most of the gamblers have a decent job already, and sometimes some of them lose their jobs because also in gambling. Because sometimes when you are really addicted to it, all in your mind is to gamble.

And if you could not lose your job you will be ineffective in doing your job, I can vouch that statement because I have experience that in past that when you are betting in the office and once you lose the whole day will be meaningless to you and you will not be productive for the rest of the day.

That was very true, so make sure that if you have already a decent job, keep away the activities that will make your life ruin especially if you can't control yourself in that thing, and try another hobby just to keep away from that thing. And tell to your family your situation so that they can also help you.

Guys that can only be applied to those who play for fun.

You will never feel that your day is meaningless if you lose when you are playing just for fun.
And one more thing gambling is made for entertainment, ad that is what we should treat it,
and not a way to earn a money for living.

If you do have a work, prioritize it, but still if you want to play then play gambling, but keep in mind that it is just an entertainment, and a way to get some fun.

i have in your situations in few months ago. first i make deposit in small amount like 0.001, then i play, after some played, i get loss almost 0.0008, then i am thinking that is it good if i make more deposit and can i recover my loss? then i am trying to deposit 0.002, after that, i am continue playing, and guess what, i loss everything in just 30 minutes before i realize that i am broke.

geezz, its a bad experience for me, and i am thinking maybe i am wrong to make second deposit, and do not realize that maybe i can loss everything and its proof when i loss 0.003 from all i deposite. after that, i am trying to not to deposite again, i am trying to learn from my mistake.

Better not to play then I think. The more you put in the more it hurts rather save it save for  0.01btc xD
But also do not worry so much it is only 0.003 it is ok. If it was 0.03 or even 0.1 that will be worse. So don't worry ^^

If you don't feel the need to leave gambling, don't do it.. you have to just control yourself. Stop being greedy! Stop depositing more than you can afford to loose! When you have enough profit, stop. I know there will never be enough, but you can just play with small sums of money and you can be as satisfied as you are when playing with hundreds or thousands. Not being careful brings most of the time dangers, high risks because you can loose all and then even harm yourself because you don't have money to live anymore. If you really want to leave gambling life, find something else to have fun with. You can play pool, or different sports.. just fill your time with other activities so you can forget about gambling.

The problem with this occurs when the person is already addicted to gambling. Addiction is something that we just can't fight over with simple words. It'll need to be taken care of with actions such as proper discipline. At best, the person would have to consult a psychiatrist.

Consulting a psychiatrist is indeed the best option, but most of the times, the person addicted to gambling would not want to do it himself, so he would need to have the help of friends or relatives or love ones.

Yeah I think that is also fine, it is not but to lose money with 0.003 btc, if you are really thinking of it, I think you need to stop for playing gambling, cause if you do not quit early you can lose more than that.

Yes, that is the best option to come out of this gambling habit. As long as one uses a computer daily, then it is quite difficult for them to avoid online gambling so they must stop using the computer for some time and find outdoor games spend their free time with family and friends.

Or if you can't get away from the computer, try finding an alternative, say play online games instead, there are a lot of apps and sites that you can play casino games for fun.(without money involved). It works. There are some who used to gamble everyday until they realized it's become destructive for their lives and has affected those around them. They then, searched for games they could play for fun instead, it takes the edge off, and then the urge to gamble will decrease over time.

The best way to quit gambling is by controlling yourself and spending more time offline with friends and family for a good time, till you feel you don't need to gamble anyway.

The best way to quit gambling is just don't investing or deposit any amount into the gambling sites or casinos, and even don't visit it either online or offline

[The Sceptical Chymist]

sell your house, car, tv, video games, computer and bet all of that on red (russian roulette).

If you win, rinse and repeat till you lose it all  

All of you have got to be fucking kidding.  None of these suggestions even comes close to addressing what the real problem is when people can't stop gambling.  All of this is like saying you need to hide an alcoholic's bottles of vodka or take away his money.  Does nothing.  The gambler needs to admit he's got a problem and then take steps to not gamble.  In most cases, I'd say that means to stay the hell away from this forum, and possibly bitcoin altogether.  There's no one who's going to recover from a gambling problem by posting on the gambling section here.  I would put money on it.

Keep remember on your head that earning money is hard and many people out there that don't have money, so you must wise use your money on gambling and think twice about it.

Why you should not investing some of your coin? I dont think that it has any affect on your quiting because you only place one time and then check it after one month. Or if you are really addict you can invest where there is a lock button in it, like moneypot which offer you exactly the same thing so your balance wont be bother until the time

Yeah like try to think of a thing every single day to be grateful/thankful for. If you're living in a 1st world country, remember that people from 3rd world country are dying to get there. Always remember that an hour of work there is equivalent to a day of hard work in here. If you're eating 3 times a day or even more, remember that some people are grateful for eating once a day.

The money that you're going to lose from gambling can be used in so many good ways. Even if you didn't work hard to get that money, remember that you're not alone in this world and you should share your blessings to the less fortunate people.

I think the best way to quit gambling for good is depend on how is hard to stop play gambling, because it is about the people its self and there are many opinions for stop play gambling. But it will never work except the gamblers wanna stop play gambling.

Op, is is common mistake of gamblers, they usually want to recover all their loses, and they convince themselves if they can do it - then they will quit.
But guess what - we have two potential outcomes here: either gambler will lose more money - deposit more - lose more and spiral will continue or
he will hit some nice fat jackpot and convince himself that gambling is really the way to go. Both ways are totally wrong if you want to quit.

That's true we can use our past time in our family and not in gambling. We can bond with them and if we do it instead of gambling we can also have a better relationship in our family. We can also build good memories with them, being with the family is happier than to play gambling.

Usually those two where scenarios will end in addiction... If we want to quit gambling easier without having any collateral damage or impact to us, it is better if we know or notice earlier that our behavior towards gambling is on that two scenario that you've mention..  That way we don't have to struggle too much in quitting...

this is not the mistake of gamblers it is the mistake of the gambling addicts and i think there should be some kind of a difference between these two groups of people because the first one is only gambling for fun and enjoyment of the games but the second will always do what you explained, they lose and lose and even if they win they continue until they lose.
