To quit gambling is to quit yourself

[jakagintiri]

Back again how hard gambling addiction is, if it's so hard it's hard to stop it by yourself in need of the nearest person to support every positive action, it's hard addiction is not easy it takes a long time to 100% stop, being at a serious stage every time a gambling is motivated to succeed in the gambling world, all their abilities will be greatly sought for or exhausted all their possessions, can do even more extreme when left unchecked.

Quit gambling is the best choice, because gambling is not good for our self. We can lose more money in gambling if we addict in gambling, can't control our emotional in gambling and can't control the budget for play. Quit gambling is not easy for addict people, but must do it for better future.

Reverse what you said and others will say that gambling must be fine if you can;

1. Control your emotion.
2. Control your budget.
3. You are winning.
4. You're not addicted.

At the end of the day it all balls down to one single word which is 'CONTROL'. A lot of people allow themselves to get controlled by the impulses that comes with gambling and that is how they always end up screwing up everything with their life in a mess at the end of the day and until they are able to talk themselves out of it or speak sense into their own head themselves, then it would be hard having such control.

If anyone cannot admit the fact that they cannot get the goodies they are looking for in gambling, it would be easy for them to control themselves or not even gamble at all.

It's not going to be easy even the addicted gambler wants to. He should have a support system like parents or family that will make him stronger mentally and emotionally so that he can fight the urge of gambling and finally end that worst chapter of his life.

Only week people need the support of other people. If you really have a strong personality including a strong willpower and determination with the will to no giving up easily, then you surely will get out of addiction. It is not wrong to get help from others, but why do you need to get one if you can solve it on your own? You have a brain, you have a free will. You can use it and change yourself like you change others with words.

No it's not a sign of a weak person, I'm sure with the lord and support of a close person, we can stop gambling quickly. Humans are social beings, we live together and need help from others. If anyone can ask for help, why not?

First of all, the God almighty is the one who can let or allow the person to leave the gambling because he is the creator and he knows everything. But you said after God with the help of your closer one, you can leave gambling. I want to say here that closer person couldn’t prove much more effective than a good psychiatrist because he is the person who knows on the earth how to cure this disease rather than a closer one.

Find a close friend to be asked for help is a close friend who does not gamble. He must be the one who prevents you from gambling when you want to. Psychiatrists would be more helpful, but I think it's just the last option, so before you go to a psychiatrist, maybe your best friend can help you.

Yes, one thing we have to remember before we are doing anything because we should not addict to anything in this world, this may kill you. I have experienced through many of friends who addicted to gambling, alcohol, cheating etc. All these things will kill the human being for addicting to those.

Yeah, but quitting is the only way to have a better future and to save money. There is no reason for anyone to continue to play gambling if he is losing most of the time, he must be smart and considering all the things before he decides what to do next in gambling. I've witnessed myself losing a lot of money in gambling, and continuing is so confusing to do that is why I've decided to quit gambling instead and try another way to earn money.

I agree. I was also losing a lot of money before and even though I thought of quitting, the impulse to play was still there - that is why I really understand how others find it really difficult to quit. It was only when I finally realized that I already have a son and that I need to take care of his future when the realization and the greater urge to finally quit kicks in and the rest is history

No gambler can quit gambling on his own because it has become a universal truth and we can easily observe that from every gamblers story. However, when the gambler tries to leave this gambling on his own, his love for the gambling increases then it was before because he starts thinking about the advantages of gambling which are obviously crated by his own as there are no advantages of gambling.

For this reason, I think this gambler must encourage himself to leave. He must enlightens the issues and problems that he would be facing if he continues his gambling activities. There will be no other person who can do this, only the gambler has this aptitude to think better for himself. Try to conquer the addiction of gambling and leave it as soon as possible, only then you may have a good life.

Indeed that is true, all of the addictions here in this world including gambling is not good for us(emotionally and physically). We might get hurt by this because we didn't pay the person we have debts, and we might get crazy thinking about the money that we have lost in gambling and how we are going to pay our debts if the money that we have borrowed was already gone.

I don't see people committing suicide because of gambling. It is really hard to quit in gambling but I don't see people committing suicide because of gambling. Quitting is hard but it can still stop with the support of other people especially with the support of family if you see a person that is suffering from addiction in gambling better to give him a vacation and a travel so it will not be going to be worst.

Gambling at times can be very addictive to people if they do not have self-control and as a result, they might keep playing continuously and end up losing a lot of money. This could be dangerous for them as they lose money and may play more to recover that lost money and for that may borrow from someone and even could lose out that money. So better to quit gambling so that you can be yourself and enjoy the life.

Yes, I agree, there is somewhat the gambling is dangerous to us if we don't limit ourselves in playing into it. Sometimes limiting ourselves can also help us still maintain our life while playing gambling. Maybe it also depends on how responsible the person itself.

gambling is not dangerous because it is only game that meant to be played. Gambling cannot possibly harm you in any way , that is why i can say that gambling isnt dangerous but rather it is risky because there is always a risk of loosing. ( e.g loosing your cash , loosing your loved ones , loosing valueable things, etc ) but that risk can be minimized if only we can control or limit our selves but that is the only problem because having a self control is actually pretty hard to achieve.

I agree with you mate but I think, the way we see gambling as to whether or not it is dangerous is a subjecting thing. Some find gambling as pretty exciting and entertaining while others are chilling to the bones and are afraid to gamble.

Absolutely right which gambling do really have the sole purpose on giving entertainment to its players not totally a harmful thing on which most people do think off but the dangerous thing will comes after then you are engaging too much time and money with it on where coming to a point that you are risking too much and making foolish bettings where you are already affecting your physical and emotional life. If you cant able to control yourself into some particular thing then its much better to avoid gambling in a earliest possible time.

Others are thinking that gambling is dangerous as if they are really a gambler. They are good in saying those words but if you'll ask them others might admit they are a failed gambler but quitting is a serious commitment which is a challenge to every gambler.

[Btc_1856]

Yes, it is always good to quit the gambling because if you are continously loosing through gambling it is good quit the gambling. Once you quit the gambling better dont reconsider it because you might loose more money.

I agree because gambling will worsen ourselves especially when continues to experience the defeat better stop gambled to improve life to be better

[Juliedarwin]

Yes, it's better to quit gambling than to quit yourself. But to quit gambling is not the end of your own self,. You can quit gambling in a good way, or a proper way..depends on how you can do quit wisely.

I think it's better to stop a habit that makes you hurt or emotional about it. If you cannot control yourself with simple things tempers anger would be your downfall. I don't know what's the proper way you are talking about because from what I see it's always dependent on the person who is trying to quit.

Gamblers are well aware of the risk that is involved in this game but they still go for it.The reason is gambling offers fun with a chance of making money. Though it is hard to hit a jackpot but no one can deny that there is always a possibility of winning prize. When such an offer is made to rich people or clumsy ones, they get attracted towards it.Shaking off old habits is the toughest task.

Yeah you are right. An addicted gambler can never quit gambling because gambling is like drugs and as drug addicted person never give off drugs, same a gambler cannot quit gambling. But I think that gambler should gamble in in his limits and when he know that know I am losing, he should quit at once and try his luck some other time. It will be better for him.

I also do not agree with this statement, because gambling should not be addicted. Although if someone has been supported by his family. Quitting gambling I think is good for saving extra money because one can do many things if he has extra money than his needs besides losing in gambling. It is a shortcut way of making money but this greed has ruined many people.

[Genemind]

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!

If gambling had become your hobby for a long time, your statement is correct. Breaking a bad habit is really a difficult thing to do. Just imagine if you are used to playing gambling everyday or if you spend most of your time gambling, it will really be difficult for you to manage quitting. You must really change your self first before quitting, and this requires discipline and hard work.

[JL421]

Yes, it is always good to quit the gambling because if you are continously loosing through gambling it is good quit the gambling. Once you quit the gambling better dont reconsider it because you might loose more money.

Don't quit gambling completely if someone still wants to make money from gambling he can simply invest in the sites bankroll there are really profitable i had earned 0.1 bitcoin from all my investments in different gambling else you can trade also to increase your profit

[RokokGudangGaram]

it's really because there's already support in ourselves to stop playing gambling, but if you just follow the band will also play back again gambling because the cessation is not our own desire but there is persuasion of friends, but also follow-up too
