To quit gambling is to quit yourself

[onebtcforlife]

Guys, I know that many of you have already discussed this issue regarding quitting gambling as it is addictive, and I know that this thread is just like any other one. But forgive me because I am really sick of seeing people committing suicide because they are in big debts. I would like to speak my mind.

So, guys. Quitting gambling has to be done by quitting yourself. What I mean by that statement is that you should no longer be yourself or what you are. You are now a man of greed and addiction. Who was the person you were before you start gambling? Perhaps you were addicted to something else. Perhaps you were just a normal man living a normal life. Now you are a different person. What I want you to do is that you should be aware that gambling too much will make you lose yourself. Second off, you should sit with yourself and write down the negative effects of gambling. Do not be like "What if I win next time, what if I get lucky next time." No, that is not you who is talking but your greed. Do not give yourself false hopes because "What if" is a term used to talk about unreal action in the past or the future. You can neither change the past nor be accurate about what future will be like.

Then you should practice positive self-talk. Fill yourself with positiveness. Have a strong willpower and determination because believe me, once you are committed to something, you will attain it. If you want to give up gambling, then you can do it because other people and I gave it up.
I used to gamble a lot with my friends and I would be lying if I said I did not learn many things. But the negative effects overcame the positive ones. I took a decision to stop gambling. I filled my time with various activities. In time, I started to forget about gambling. It is like moving on. If you want to move on, get yourself from the routine you used to be in. Your brain is functioned about a certain routine. You will find it hard to adapt to the new routine, but believe me, in time you will get used to it.

I hope you guys achieve what you aspire. And I hope this thread will help you, even though I am sure I am going to get negative feedback. But it is okay, I am open to everything. Have a lovely day, Hadoooken!

Gambling and investing are almost the same but with different reasons and goals. In gambling, we mostly gamble to gain profit easily that don't really happens since gambling is not really a good source of profit.

Investing is not that really the same risk as gambling since you can look at information and possibilities of crypto currencies you want to invest in, your goal is to earn money but not easily since you are also risking your money and basing it in your assumptions and calculations.

Yes, it is an addiction and it is hard to quit gambling if you can't set up limit.

Setting up a limit if you are addicted to things is really hard. When you experienced getting addicted to something, you are the one finding a way to do what you are addicted with. For example, you are busy doing the projects that you're company is doing and you don't have time to gamble, most of the time this kind of people find a way like he's sick or their family is sick and he will be the one taking care of it. You can't just stop gambling from setting some limits, you must first realized how deep you are in on wasting your money instead of using it for some things that can really help you.

The problem arises when the addicted person is left alone. Will his job always give him tons of workload that will leave him exhausted for the rest of the day? Will his family members be always sick? (I hope not). Both answers are "no." You will never always be busy with your job because you have off days which is probably when gambling addicts have the time to gamble.

I really believe that in order to rid yourself of addiction, you have to rid yourself of the things that made you go to that addiction in the first place. Gambling addicts are coping with their problems by gambling. Same as how alcoholics are coping with their problems by drinking. They have to fix the problem, the true root of this addiction, in order to rid themselves of addiction.

Abstinence is not necessarily the solution for gambling. Making yourself too busy doing something in order to fix your addiction is just adding another layer of you avoiding to address and fix the underlying problems that have led you to this addiction. Think of this problem-solving thing going on as a form of self-respect; a form of self-love, and eventually you will have the courage to face these problems that you have been avoiding ever since.

Either that or develop a healthier coping mechanism.

Well said. All gambler knows it well that they are wasting their money. Cause they know they will end up with lose. But gambler always search for hope to win big. They wait for a miracle. That's why they are addicted to it.

Mistakes are said to be the stepping stone but most of the people are having a lot of mistakes but are still not doing anything that will help them surpass that mistake. Gambling can generate profits, it is not impossible, it is just a high of a risk near to the word impossible unless we are talking about a business.

To overcome our problems, we need to face it not avoid since we will be making more problems at our hands if we avoid it in the future.

After loosing in gambling people situation will be in a dilemma and thinks negative about gambling but after some days again they will start gambling with fresh money. It is impossible to control ourselves after addicting to it.

This is very true. Once we got our money from the payment of work or from something else, you will back to gambling and use the money to gambling. To be honest, it's really hard to quit gambling. When you have so much money on your hand or your wallet, you will think to gamble it.

Yes, it is an addiction and it is hard to quit gambling if you can't set up limit.

This is what addicted gamblers think of and furthermore they do not give importance to think about it but just involve in gambling and gambling. They have nothing in the whole world except gambling in which they are involved anytime.

Sitting a limit for gambling is a better strategy and is a solution to get rid of addiction which is a danger to your whole life when you get addicted with gambling.

Each individual person is different and the very person who knows your deeply is no other than you yourself. Hence, if you find yourself easily hooked on things that you love doing - whether a good one or bad, you know for a fact that when you indulge to gambling for that matter, you will easily get hooked as it is really addicting.

Better stop once and for all if you have the tendency of easily get hooked and better spend something productive for you and for your loved ones because you can't go wrong when you get hooked that way.

I play but do not depend, I can easily interrupt the game.  And if you are addicted it does not matter why you should throw it and be treated

[krishnaverma]

I play but do not depend, I can easily interrupt the game. 

You mean you leave the game in between ? That does not sound very practical if money is stake. You should not start the game at first place if there is time constraint. I have had been forced to leave games in between but it was only because of things out of my control.

You are right - just like in trading, you should also have pre-planned betting strategies and stick to it no matter what. This is a way to combat being too emotional in gaming because all you have to do is follow your pre-bet plan.

Waoo this is a nice post and I really enjoyed every bit of it.  Gambling is highly addictive and because of this another mind is giving to us and we do actually change our personalities.  I pray I should be able to change every bad habits I have and that another mind be giving to me about gambling and betting.

If you can interrupt the game easily that's good for you, not everyone has that type of attitude that they can interrupt themselves while they gamble. You want to say that you don't have to quit because you can stop yourself whenever you want?

I don't know why you are saying we need to stick to the betting no matter of what,if we keep losing in the bets then better leave that game for now,no need to be afraid or ashamed of doing this because you can save some of your money by doing this.

we don't have any reason to stay in the gambling games if we cannot win any money and it is better to quit and leave the games. I think if we decide to quit, then it means, we need to leave the games as soon as possible because the longer we are staying in that games, the more money we can lose and we cannot get it back again. but I agree that you need to take a break for a while and refresh your mind from any of gambling games and you can still come back in the other days.

When people get too emotional they forget about everything and thus they can't follow any plan, no matter however good the plan is. But even if they could follow a pre-planned strategy, sticking to it no matter what is a wrong mindset imo. As a great businessman, John Henry Patterson, once said:

“Only fools and dead men don't change their minds. Fools won't and dead men can't.”

I think we should be always ready to change our mind if necessary.

The desire to chase losses will be difficult to avoid and can persuade people to continue to try to gamble to meet the satisfaction of the heart. If we are able to resist our inner desires, maybe we can leave gambling immediately.

[geopolisch]

You can also say that quitting gambling is also living onto the real world, it's not just simply quitting onto yourself, but I do understand what you want us to think, gambling is a kind of drug actually, it's addictive, risky and can deplete your finances and budget, if you go way too far it is either you'll win everything or lose everything you have and will result in depression, after depression it can result to suicide, which is a thing that no one wants to happen right? If you are an addict at gambling try to put 50% in your safe, instead of going all-in with your money, remember, quitting gambling is not only by quitting yourself, it is also living, making money the right way, we just have to accept the fact that we cannot only rely on our luck.

Advance thinking huh. Well, that is possible that an addictive gambler will lead to depression because of losses resulting in financial problem. Always remember, play only what you can afford to loss to avoid those things to happen.

It is for addicted people in gambling as they consider it the whole life which is the biggest disadvantage here is gambling. They lose their lives in gambling and they think that without gambling life is boring. This statement fits addicted gamblers and this is right that gamblers should follow gambling if they can afford only, if they are not in a position then a time will come when casino holders will kick out him.

Addicted gamblers are often criminals because when they have no money they do illegal things to get some money for gambling. That’s why I can say that regular gambling is the mother of crimes. Mostly gamblers involve in illegal activities because they also know that gambling is bad thing and they cannot use hard earn money in gambling.

That isn’t sure forever case. There have been so many people who came into this world just because they wanted to seek some fun and entertainment but later, their habits become spoiled and they become victim of this game. New, they play this game even by taking big loans from their relatives and trends and thus they are just increasing their debt amount. God help them.

it's hard to stop gambling if it's sticking, because I've experienced it is the worst thing that makes big losses, at least I begin to understand that it is not true gambling is a very high risk especially when it is wrapped in debt and life can be a bet, then at least take advantage of life with a positive thing that will be better
