To quit gambling is to quit yourself

[maydna]

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.

you are right but as long as we can always manage our emotion and not attract to spend more money on gambling then I think we are fine. with a good handle of our emotion, we can know when we need to stop gambling so the chances to be an addicting person in gambling is small although it cannot disappear. at least, we can quit gambling in anytime we want because we can fully control yourself.

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 .

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.

I think you missed the point of the OP of quiting yourself its only when you think to quit gambling with all your heart and mind so its the way to quit playing gambling. The things you have said is a big help to get out of gambling especially your attachment and time to spend witg your family it more than playing gambling with fun and if its for money there's another way of earning and not in gambling.

This is the hardest way to do, when we gambling we do not remember about anything other than focus on gambling, especially when experiencing defeat. It will not be good advice for someone who is gambling, gamblers will feel conscious if the rest of the money runs out. I guess all the gamblers will have the same properties against it.

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.

It is always going to be there are gambling itself actually have a way of trying to play with one's head into doing things wrong most of the time. The emotion is normal and it is left for each individual to at least find every means to make sure they are in control rather than being controlled.

That level of addiction as time goes on is what makes it hard for some people to quit but as long as anyone is ready to understand that it is gambling and nothing serious should be expected, they will be able to occupy their minds with other things that are relevant.

Maybe dont think about quitting gambling for ever- try to quit gambling in order to control your desire to play.

It's ok to gamble if done moderately- but people who gamble for a long time do not have such an easy time stopping 100%.

Yes true to quit gambling is first you yourself should willing and determine to quit because if not even how many people will give you advices still it won't work because with in yourself you are not willing to help. You should be sensitive enough if the people around you is still happy or it does not affect any relationships between inside in your home.

[Nerobasta]

If you're stuck in gambling addiction repeating the same pattern over and over again.  If you have found it incredibly difficult to cut ties with your addiction, the reality is you need a some professional treatment.

The will to quit gambling is always being beaten by addiction. No matter how you wanted to quit in gambling, if you really get addicted, you will return even if you have stopped for how many days, weeks, months, years. There is a time that you will go back to your habit.

[Apes]

To stop gambling is not someone else, do it with the right intention and should be able to divert if you want to play gambling with good and positive things .. besides that must be biased to divert with positive things and deepen the science of religion. And others ..

Base on my experience ot 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 responaibility as a mom also they sees me almost 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.

The falling entirely into become an addict is where the problem actually lies and the fact is that virtually everyone that just keeps gambling with what they could have used into doing something tangible and they still keep losing are actually their own problem. Definitely, things like this will affect the people that are married and as long as that is in play, that is a huge act of irresponsibility on such a person's part and like you said, for those who simply cannot control themselves, it is better to stop than get extremely engrossed in it.

The one of hard thing is quite gambling. Yeah, it is tru that some people are playing for fun, but they also will addict for gambling. Some people count that they are gambling for fun but after they do huge profit they will automaticcaly addict to gambling. That's why I said very hard to quit gambling.
But, some people able to exit so quit because they feel only losing and they won't play when they already bust all. I think the best fast way to quit is living on mountains without internet connecting and soo far from city centre

Right, I myself tried diverting my focus to other more important things, but still end up gambling. I can't even control myself sometimes.

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.......

I've seen some people give up their reputation and friendships due to gambling, I rarely hear people give up their life. These past months, I really focused on gambling, but you made me realize that gambling is really risky. Hopefully, starting with this post, little by little, I can quit gambling, or maybe at least I can just control myself if can't really quit.

Gambling should be played with moderation. It should be us the players who will play not gambling to player over us. Money that will be used to play should only be those that are excess funds or else it will drive the player not to quit until losses are fully recovered. Its not suppose to be a money making venture but only to entertain.

As in the statement one needs to spend on gambling the excess funds that he has apart from his living expenses. This will not affect the living of respective users at any instance. There are people who have spend their tuition fee on gambling and suffered to recover. Such situations should not prevail, the control is in our hands.

You are absolutely right because we have other sources of Entertainment for free, we should not bother much about that the gambling which we left because it is always good to leave before we are losing fame and money. Once we are quit we have to find other sources of entertainment to manage ourselves not to bother about it again and again.

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.

I think when they are gambling, they don’t bother about their family but they do bother about their money because that is the only reason for which they have left their whole family and society as well and if that reason would also be thrown at the back, then gamblers existence would be in a little bit doubt. They care about money and nothing else.

I think to quit gambling it means that we need to quit by playing gambling and we need to leave gambling although we can play gambling again on the other days. and if you think that your life is worth for just playing gambling in every day then you really need to quit gambling because you cannot enjoy your life and you will lose your money in the long-term. I guess that you don't want to lose or spend your money on just playing gambling, right? then you really need to quit gambling as soon as possible.

Good to hear your story and this is the story of every gambler. He doesn’t do anything except gambling which is bad. An addicted gambler has no respect in society and even in his family as you told that your parents got angry upon you just because of gambling. You should never look to this side again otherwise you will destroy your life and your family as well.

The will to quit gambling is always being beaten by addiction. No matter how you wanted to quit in gambling, if you really get addicted, you will return even if you have stopped for how many days, weeks, months, years. There is a time that you will go back to your habit.

Of course when gambling was once part of our lives, the desire to do it again, even if we have stopped for a relatively long period of time, will reappear. But, with my personal experience, the memory of a past defeat that is so bitter can be a controller when the desire to gamble over limit begins to arise in the present days. I can't quit 100% but I am able to control my gambling habit.

I have seriously considered quitting gambling but if i did, a certain part of me would be missing.
This is because I have many friends who I go to the bar with to watch the games. 
If there was no gambling, it wouldnt be as fun to watch the games at the bar.
I dont know if to quit is to quit yourself but you will be like a much different person if gambling is not part of your every day life.
