To quit gambling is to quit yourself

[darewaller]

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.

Well, that in a way can help anyone who does not see gambling as anything they should expect much from. Quitting gambling however like the OP mentioned right from the start is a choice and the only way to ever do anything right with it, is to never expect anything right from it.

Gambling is a game of luck and the best anyone can do is to be moderate, not get too exposed to the gambling impulse and do things right as much as they can without it letting affect their emotions, otherwise, it is better to not start at all or quit when they are beginning to get the wrong picture.

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.

When gambling already become our daily routine it will be hard to leave it even after we faced a bad situation because of it. If we can't control our own attitude, we may need help from others to control our behaviour, it can be from our family members or from our close friends.

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 comes down to money management, when you get wages always pay the bills first.    People who spend a pay cheque without taking care of the monthly outgoings are making a big mistake, they are spending money they do not have spare.

Its a better idea to assume all the pay cheque is required, only later assume the change you have left over is available to gamble.    Starting from this position of balance and strength is important as its more likely to result in a good attitude and pay off.    Gambling requires some rigidity, if you already know you are on the edge of having to win it puts the gambler into a precarious state before any risk even started to be taken on the games.

I hope you get what I mean, walk before you run and its going to work out better then rushing to place a bet.

[ethereumhunter]

I am sure there are also lots of ways to prevent yourself from being addictive to gambling. Go outside get some fresh air, Text or call your friends to drink a beer with them, Get married! Or for short get a life find a decent job that suits your self.

it easy to say but it's hard to do but I agree with what you said. sometimes I need to call my friends to avoid my mind from thinking about gambling so I can leave the gambling site and go out with my friends. but I have another activity that keeps me busy so I don't think about gambling every day because my jobs have taken the most of my time.

[ayiaye]

this will be very difficult for someone who has gambling addiction, they always have the impulse of the subconscious mind to continue to do so. it is true to stop gambling requires intention and will of its own. but that is not enough, because his mind always rebels against the initial intention to quit, usually always hoping to recover the situation. so as a family, children or parents have a very important role to be able to help and guide the process of quitting the addiction.

[boyptc]

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

It's easy to quit when we are just using our words but if we will apply it to what we really want to do, it's hard.

this will be very difficult for someone who has gambling addiction, they always have the impulse of the subconscious mind to continue to do so. it is true to stop gambling requires intention and will of its own. but that is not enough, because his mind always rebels against the initial intention to quit, usually always hoping to recover the situation. so as a family, children or parents have a very important role to be able to help and guide the process of quitting the addiction.

It takes time to quit gambling but you have to adopt new things and apply also the quote, no man is an island that means you need others help.

[rolleth.io]

You have to get rid of any things, especially gambling, if they prevent you from living a normal life.

[Emitdama]

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.

[roxbit]

Its not easy to quit gambling, I have to agree that some people commit suicide because of this addiction but for me you cannot do this alone better to have someone that can be on your side in times like this. It takes time to do so, but if you really want to quit gambling you will start right now.

I don’t believe that this phrase is realistic “to quit gambling is to quit yourself “ because I believe the other way around. To quit gambling is to give more time to yourself and to your love ones. Having a good quality time to your children and spouse. Gambling becomes the center of your attention/attraction and forget the things that is more important and matters to you which the relationship with your family. Quit gambling is start living the true essence of your existence. That is the real and most valuable thing to do.

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.

I think in the bar, there is another game that you can play with your friends and maybe you can play billiards but don't use the money for the winner. you can try to quit gambling if you really want to and I think you can try to build another habit so you don't have to feel that something is missing. and I don't think that quit gambling will make you become different person besides becoming a better person without gambling in your life.

Stop playing gambling is a thing that will have a positive impact on our lives. We have to admit that when we try to stop playing gambling we are also trying to get to a success. This is an option because when we try to stop playing gambling then we are heading for success and when we are still playing gambling then we are closing ourselves to destruction.

Everyone must have a different view and I'm sure that gambling will only bet on a fortune, a luck that will not come!

That is everyone’s reason, to play and have a chance to have success in gambling and multiplying your money to  have more. Gambling could also give you a positive impact if you win but the downside is it’s hard to stop once you get into the zone  and you might think that you could always profit from it but you cannot.

No one ever had made fantastic results from gambling or any earning source, so why we get into this with this purpose. Everyone knows this gambling is harmful for everyone and whosoever it would be, gambling just ruin their lives. So don’t let this chance to get into your life. Encase this is so attractive, if you played it for once even, you can’t just control your mind later on.

No it is not necessary if you want to quit gambling you will have to quit yourself. When once you decide not to gamble anymore nobody will force you to gamble or not visit a casino. Go to casino with your friends drink, dance and watch others gambling but never set on the gambling table. You will quit only gambling and not yourself.

Or you can make a new hobby that needs so much time to do like fishing, do sports, or even playing games online like PUBG is a good one to wasted your time. So you will not thinking about gambling again.

[gohan21]

It's not a big loss of my life in the field of gambling because of the loss of money so I've also stopped gambling casinos and any other sites.

[NewCryptocasinos]

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!

Well Said! Gambling can be very addicted. and the industry must be more responsible.

This is really one of the many possible solutions in order to finally quit gambling. Playing online games like pubg is a good one too - but for me really, I would rather do the fishing and other related physical activities that would offer good health and well-being. Because since you are already wanting to change, go for the new and better activities.

[SpringfieldM1A]

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.

Yes, even with that moderation, it should be played without expecting anything in return and anyone who simply cannot do with that, should simply not gamble at all.
The thing with gambling and gamblers is that they always expect that gambling is really going to be giving them a lot and then forgetting the part where it can actually take a lot away from them but rather decided to get engrossed in the winning part until the idea of moderation, reasoning and realism becomes a hard thing to achieve for them.

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.

[Efiraboy]

You have to get rid of any things, especially gambling, if they prevent you from living a normal life.

I don’t think so, because there are many other things for entertainment and enjoyment, why just gambling? If you want to gamble for fun and think that if you quit gambling you will never enjoy your life, it is totally nonsense. Regular gambling will destroy your life and your family as well. Don’t consider gambling as a business, it is not for making money.

There are two point that are interconnected. One, gambling is all about greed. Greed for earning some big thing by using little investment. And the second one is, human is naturally greedy. He always goes for money and respect and fame and many other facets that varies from person to person. And when these two things combine, here comes the gambling.

You’re right, there are a lot of lessons we can learned on playing gambling especially in losing a lot of money. You will learned what will be your strategy next because you learned from your mistakes. Mistakes can make us wise after we encounter mistakes surely we will soon know what should we do and that can lead us to success.

[marsmyname]

It's not a big loss of my life in the field of gambling because of the loss of money so I've also stopped gambling casinos and any other sites.

Actually you have preferred your personal interest over this. It is all because of just your mindset. I am sure you have grasped in so earlier that this game isn’t made for earning purposes. You can enjoy in there but still mostly people get caught while enjoying. They get caught in this addiction and they become victim of this gambling thing which will later bite them to financial death.
