To quit gambling is to quit yourself

[STT]

Gambling can become a kind of avoidance to certain feelings and people get hooked on the instant rush of a win and reliant on this to avoid other negatives in their life.    The addiction is especially negative where it starts to create or add to the negatives that they were trying to avoid to begin with.  Where someone steals to gamble perhaps, they are on a downward spiral.  
I do think these people need help to realise they have made a misstep and need to turn back and go a different direction, there are some groups which try to help but its hard to unlearn bad habits like this.

The Manilla case is especially terrible and suggests he should have got help a long time before somehow.

Investigators discovered Mr. Carlos’s identity early Sunday morning, after interviewing the taxi driver who had picked him up near his home in the San Lazaro neighborhood of Manila and driven him to the casino.

So pathetic, dont be a dumbass like this with no respect for anyone or yourself even.   It takes a bigger man to just admit a mistake, quitting or whatever I give way more kudos to anyone who can handle themselves even as a loss.

Everything begins with intent. If you want to stop gambling, start from now round our determination and willingness to be able to stop from this misleading game. If we have a strong determination, it can be the main capital and strength to be able to escape forever from gambling.

If nothing helps, you can take professional help. There is also a group therapy program where counselors help these people with their doubts and queries. They are also made to talk with other gambling addicts who have successfully come out of the addiction. You should choose a reputed service for this purpose even if it costs a little extra.

I think counseling is the best possible solution for any gambling addict to leave gambling and beside this, there is nothing with which you can cure any gambling addict’s disease because that gambling has made a place for it in the mind of gambler and that place can only be destroyed by making him aware of more interesting things than gambling and psychiatrists can do this job better than anyone else.

Gambling is no doubt a very bad addiction and the one who starts gambling once in his life can never quit it no matter what. If you want to keep yourself away from such kind of things, then you need to make yourself understand this thing that it is not a good thing to do and that it will only result in loss of your money. Consulting with the ones who left the gambling can be a great motivation for you.

Gambling is addictive because this involves money and provides a chance of winning some money free of efforts. This is what gamblers believe and they try to make some profits without doing any work at all.However, the reality is even if a gambler has equal chances of losing and winning a bet but most of the times he will lose. It can be due to any reason. Mostly, people lack good luck.

Yes it all depends on ourselves, when we want to stop playing gambling then we must have a sense of desire from ourselves to start stopping and consider gambling is a bad and useless action. I honestly think that gambling game is a bad thing and not useful, that I admit because I've played gambling and no results. In fact I suffered losses and if not stopped then gambling game will be able to destroy our lives. Start with yourself and believe that there is something much better and produces for us to do. The gambling game is performed only by desperate people and does not think that the future will determine its future.

Quitting gambling is hard, no doubt but you can’t say it is an impossible act. Nothing is impossible, we often hear this. Human mind is so powerful that it can easily be modified and molded toward anything. You can just have best control over your mind if you are not greedy and you love being realistic.

So when you come to know gambling is harmful for you, just ask your mind to start hating gambling, everything would be good then.

I think it depends more on the circumstances than the gambler himself because the gambler will never leave gambling if his gambling is going very good. It’s in human nature that he remains attached to everything until or unless he is satisfied with it and due to this nature, never think that gambler will leave gambling. However, if he will lose more in gambling than winning, he will leave gambling very soon.

Exactly, the only problem is when we become addicted, we will be having a hard time to quit while we continue losing.
It's because we become greedy, we win sometimes but we never get contented so in the long run we lose more money which we cannot afford anymore.

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.

All people have different minds like gambling for them are for fun or to earn big or this is for past time so i think the meaning of gambling are risk for fun,earn and past time,So better to prepare yourself in that situation and killing yourself by that is so unpredictable because there's no assurance in gambling but only a chance

Yeah you are correct, all people have thier own mind setting in dealing with gambling but I believe although they have different mind setting in the end it will come up to the only one thing and that is to win a big price, that's why gamblers little by little become greed and addicted for that price and worst result is committing suicide or being murdered because of that action. So as long as you can handle your emotion in gambling just quit and be busy with other things because gambling dont give better life but a worst and misserable life.

all start from self, environment also influence. when we are in a gambling environment and we can not control ourselves, we are still stuck in the same circle. we must really get out of that environment and promise ourselves to stop gambling.

In some cases, individual effort will not be enough. One might need medications in such  a case. Another option is individual therapy. In this process, the addicts are taught about the ill effects of problem gambling and how it has ruined the families of other gambling addicts in the past.

The main thing in my opinion is to leave the society and gambler friends. Then it is possible to quit gambling. Gambling is a bad thing and gamblers have no respect in societies. Everyone dislikes a gambler and keep avoid himself from gamblers. It is natural. Nobody wants relationship with such bad people, because gathering with such people ends worst.

An addicted gambler quits gambler by two reasons. One he loses everything and even leaves himself in debts and other is when he comes near death, because then he is not able to gamble anymore. Gambling is a bad habit and will ruin you. I think that gambling should be just for fun and not for making more and more money. Finally you will lose everything.

True, but that means that gambler have weak willing to stop gambling. Also, aside from medications/therapy, finding new healthier hobby or find new job/focus on work are more effective to fix any kinds of addiction and cheaper/faster IMO.

No doubt strong determination needs to quit gambling. Specially addicted gambler cannot easily quit gambling. It is the greed to win money just in seconds but the end is different and gamblers leave his money in casinos. Short way to earn money is the main reason for gambling. If a gambler leaves thinking about short cut way of making money, he can quit gambling.

Addiction is the main reason which leads the gambler to problems like poverty, bankruptcy etc. if the gambler is not an addict, then there is no need to worry about him because he will be in his senses at that time and when his losing percentage will start increasing, he will quit gambling because gambler knows that he can’t afford the amount that he is losing right now.

Quiting gambling when you are already addicted into it is almost suicidal. This was the negative part about it, On the other hand, quiting gambling is quiting your toxic life. Stoping your greedy self and start a new one. Every person has a chance to change and i see it as a positive way.

Very valid point. Company matter a lot. If someone will spend more time around gamblers, he will first get this habit from them and then become its addict. It is same as how smokers are created. Most of the times, other people force individuals to harmful acts and persuade that this experience is going to be something out of the world, a feeling that they have never felt in their life before.

Environment gives a very big influence on the behavior of the individuals who are in it. If a person is in a gambling environment, it would be very difficult not to follow the habits of most people who inhabit the environment. Leave the environment is the most powerful way.

[maydna]

at least, I agree with the title that we need to control yourself to quit gambling and if you think you cannot quit then maybe you need help from other people and I think it will easy for you to quit. actually, if we can control yourself in the gambling, we can quit in anytime but you need to have a strong will to do that.

Yes, gambling is very hard to quit because once it become a habit then the tendency is going to addiction and the fact is that gambling addiction mostly brings many consequence, therefore I agree that to quit gambling is to forget your life in crypto world and that is the hardest part since crypto world and online activity is always a part of gambler's life.

True, those people who are addicted on gambling that much must need some space, they need to go to some place where they are far on the gambling world so that they can clear their mind and see other things other than gambling. Quitting gambling is quitting the worst version of yourself and welcoming the better one, it might be the hardest thing to do in the first place but it would be good for you in the long run.

I agree with you .. but all should be supported with real and consistent intentions, and in addition to having to change your mind when thinking about gambling with positive things and must have positive activities or activities to avoid gambling .. I am sure you slowly will forget everything and will have a new life with a positive life ..

When you greed for making more and more money you will gamble continuously and the result will be not in your favor. There is no handling in losing. you will be upset and your mind will be empty when you lose more and more money. There will be no chance for winning is such situations. It is better to quit gambling as soon as possible.

It is painful to see people becoming victim of this game even after knowing all the adverse effects. Gambling has never proved to be a beneficial activity in any way. It destroys a person not only economically but mentally and emotionally too. People end up committing suicide or many are left alone by their families. It makes person addict before he even realizes and young people are more vulnerable to such dangers.
