To quit gambling is to quit yourself

[8Habits]

Because most of the time people don't take gambling addiction seriously like drug addiction and alcohol addiction they assume that being an gambling addict is just a minor issues but they don't have any idea how it can affect someone's life and the people around that person.

gambling addiction is still an addiction,  it can still ruin your life because being addict is not a normal behavior anymore. however drug addiction is the worst among the two that you mentioned above because drugs are illegal and you can get onto serious trouble if ever someone got caught you.  gambling , alcohol and other addiction are only minor because they arent directly prohibited by the authorities.

But overall , to quit gambling does not mean to quit yourself because gambling isnt the only way that can make your life more colorful . There are many ways to enjoy life but without a side effect and cannot lead to addiction.

Addiction will always be a bad thing as long as the thing you are doing is having some negative impact on you, so I may not categorically say that one is worse than the other in the comparison that you have done. Drug addiction is going to end up affecting your health and make you become a nuisance and a liability to your world and people around you, gambling addiction affects your pocket and also makes you become a nuisance and a liability. So, at the end, I believe they are both some form of addiction in their own way and only you can really make it work on quitting.

No doubt addiction is bad for everyone no matter if it is of gambling or anything else because when the person becomes addicted, he has to continue that thing even if his circumstances don’t agree with that and when he opposes these circumstances, he is considered to be a bad guy.If the thing has a positive impact, even then it will be not entertained by the people in your surroundings.

You know why gambling is worse than drugs addiction? Because gambling will ruin not only gambler’s life but also his family. Gambler sometimes loses not only savings but also his salary, car, business and house as well and after that borrow money to continue gambling. At last he finishes his life. So before the end comes one should think about the consequences.

I agree with you mate - but this is really in relation extreme gambler addicts who also have access to lots of funds to bet. To the average gamblers, I think they are still in control of their emotions and money.

The last thing that they do is gambles almost all of the money they have on their wallet while they are gambling but not really going to the bank and withdraw their family savings just to gamble it all.

It's hard if you're a gambling addict, but you should always try to end it although it takes a long process at least a little change because it all depends on your intentions.
try to commit and try to find positive activities that can divert when thinking about gambling and better the positive activities you choose with regard to religion.

why you say gambling with religion. I think even though this thread is related to getting out of gambling but what you do with respect to religious activities. I think it is inappropriate to be here. because we all gamblers are not addicts of the book

try to commit and try to find positive activities that can divert when thinking about gambling and better the positive activities you choose with regard to religion.

really, a person who is addicted to gambling will certainly find it difficult to be abandoned, a gambling addict can not just abandon his gambling activities like a cigarette addict who is difficult to leave the habit of smoking. may be a way that can be done by gambling addicts is by way of filling their activities everyday premises how to do things positive and broader socializing in real life.

Yeah, and that is when they will really need people to help them get back on track which still comes with the idea of wanting to quit them-selves as well. It is one thing for people to want to help and it is another thing to allow them to want to help based on how you are ready to get that help. Things usually do not get to the peak most of the time unless we allow it to, and the importance of being in full control right from the onset is what really helps one to not get into such position as an addict in the first place but once there, it takes a lot.

Humans are social and we need support and kind shoulder to move forward. All those people who want to quit gambling, they need not to get worried. You have decided this leaving thing that is more than enough. Now the only hurdle you have with this leaving is physically leaving. Your mind have accepted that stigma to quit from this harmful game. Now the turn is to make that happen.

Agreed with you, but let us explain it in the light of every singles business in the market which involves the same thing, people may lose or may win which is common in all. In gambling the one thing which is exception is the instant money win or loss. You do not know that you are in profit or in loss but if you have trust in yourself and are the master of gaming then proceed for it and make your luck.

[SolomonSollarsNSense]

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.

The best way is to completely quit going to the places or establishment that you used to gamble you can’t still go to those places and claim that you are able to control yourself you wouldn’t be quitting gambling if you were able to control yourself.

It is not that easy, quitting gambling would take some time and step by step process. You couldn't just do that in an instant, at first you will have a hard time on resisting the urge to gamble, but once you have already did, you'll get used to it and find yourself free from the gambling world. Quitting might be hard, but continuing playing gambling would be more hard.

it's really hard to quit from gambling and needs a time so we can be able to quit. I agree with meliodas said that it's not instant and we need to do step by step process but maybe there will any people that could do it by instant and they should be thankful for this because they can quit from gambling with instant. just keep in mind that we can quit from gambling and I am sure that there are people that will help us if we really want to quit from gambling and they will give their support to us.

I know it’s very hard and time taking for the gambler to quit gambling and especially for those gamblers who have done gambling almost in all of their life because at that time, it is like oxygen to them and if they wouldn’t inhale it, they would be soon dead. Everything is to be done step by step because sequences lead you to perfectness and if shortcut will be applied, it is harmful for the gambler.

But majority of times, such gamblers just easily quit that gambling thing. Reason is, they have spent their whole life in gambling and losing again and again. They understood the monopoly of this game and then it becomes not much difficult for them to leave. However, the young ones who are somehow new to gambling, they are so difficult for such case. They are little hard to leave this game.

It takes a sense of satisfaction at certain points so that the gambler can get out of gambling as soon as he wins or loses. Creating lower targets and top targets may be able to control the way we bet. This is necessary because, in my opinion, the gambler is never satisfied with what he has earned, and the curiosity, continues to haunt that makes quitting gambling will be so hard to achieve.

Limiting can’t just work out here in gambling. The thing is when someone gets involved in this game, he never comes out to be a wealthy and healthy person. Reason is, this has just a net of attractive deals and offers that this easy money becomes a goal for those people. And then the disastrous life just starts for them. So better is to make yourself fly from such harmful game.

The best thing not to start gambling so there will be no need for quitting. Once you become addicted of gambling then it is hard to quit permanently because it is like drugs addiction and as we know that drugs cannot be easily stopped, so gambling is also addiction and quitting is not in gambler control. If you gamble just for fun then quitting is no problem.

That is so true. When you start to form that habit - whether it is a gambling or not, it would be very difficult to get away with it because you are always getting used to it already and it seems that it is already a second nature to you. Yes, try not to gamble so you won't get hooked and be addicted - this is especially true to people who seems easily get hooked and addicted to things that interest them.

I am highly impressed with this thread statement that to quit gambling is to quit yourself. That is reality. I have never ever been to gambling but I have seen so huge responses of people who once have been gamblers and they are still making their lives hell in it. They don’t learn anyone else because they become so strong addict of this gambling who don’t care about others.

When you are addicted to gambling or to any forms of addiction, you tend to go beyond the norms of life and sometimes you will going to neglect any of the most peers you have because you will be going to focus on the gambling - that is really not good!

[JL421]

I see what are you trying to say, but that doesn't really apply to all.
You don't need to quit yourself. Maybe you are playing just for fun but still addicted to it?
That you just change with a small "change".

It's really easy to type that it's just a small change and anyone can easily get rid of addiction but the reality is you keep on gambling regardless of fun or for profit and slowly you start becoming financially unstable and after a while you lose it all

Even though someone play for fun and with small amount of money but small thing can change everything. Mood can not be stable from time to time. So, no matter how much money a person spend on gambling, the chance to get addicted is there.

[changcloy]

Base on my experience it is really hard to quit gambling specially when you are already used to it, before my parents will get mad at me becauase I forgot my responsibility as a mom also they sees me almost got broke because of being addicted in gambling. One day I realize to quit gambling and I really want to do it so by the help of my love ones and determination to change I now stop or quit in gambling .

You still can be a responsible family member while doing gambling it is all about having limits managing our daily life.But most of the people will fall entirely into gambling which results addiction so if you can't limit it then better stop it.

I would say if you can't control yourself then it's better not to gamble at all because failures to control our emotions makes us impulsive gamblers; a big stepping stone into addiction in the long run. Many were led by the feel of " i am going to win next time and recover" and they never got back so it's better to not start what you can't stop.

You got it right, that the chance to get addicted is always there especially if we still got money in our pocket. Our emotions of excitement and feel of revenge due to losing streak will be the factor to fall into a bad position. This is why it is hard to quit in gambling due to it is very addictive and also enjoyable.

Yes, when they are gambling they won't bother about their family and their money. Completely insane about these i dont know how can they simply bother for gambling not for family. We have to be very careful when dealing with gambling by setting some limits for gambling.

When you are being used to it and somehow what you are doing (in this case, gambling) you are really forming a habit. That habit is like what you are doing almost all the time in a day like brushing your teeth - you don't need to process that, it will be like second nature to you - same is true with gambling.

[futile-resistance]

No doubt in your saying that when someone gets used to gambling, it becomes really difficult for that person to stay away from it for the sake of good but as we all know this fact that nothing is impossible in this world, so quitting gambling for the sake of good can also be done. I know it would take a little bit more time than a normal player but he will continue.

You know why gambling is worse than drugs addiction? Because gambling will ruin not only gambler’s life but also his family. Gambler sometimes loses not only savings but also his salary, car, business and house as well and after that borrow money to continue gambling. At last he finishes his life. So before the end comes one should think about the consequences.

I agree with you mate - but this is really in relation extreme gambler addicts who also have access to lots of funds to bet. To the average gamblers, I think they are still in control of their emotions and money.

The last thing that they do is gambles almost all of the money they have on their wallet while they are gambling but not really going to the bank and withdraw their family savings just to gamble it all.

Yes, people who are addicted won't bother about their family and money because their major aim is to gamble. They are doing these types of thing only because they are addictive to gamble, for gambling they will borrow the money from the others for higher interest. At last, once they start losing money means their family will suffer to pay for the loans.

In my own points of view, to quit gambling doesn't mean you quit yourself because we can find other alternate to gambling which we can make our life meaningful. We can set other kinds of habit to entertain ourselves.  Let's make our family the true and meaning of our life.

Its an ultimate dedication for every person who has a dream for the future. Since gambling is there that moves a person to loss his/her financial at worst situations, then why suffer engaging ourselves with that kind of activity? We need to move out and quit for good, and if you're willing to do that you can do it by yourself. You will decide for the best and don't hesitate because every decisions is final and no regrets at all when it comes to self improvement. Quit from old one, and welcome the new you.

People who want to gamble will find many ways to do it rather than they would not be worried  if it is called to quit yourself etc because those are the addicted people who cannot control them self and want to make money for living from the gambling.
