Want to quit? Here's how

[goaldigger]

Quitting is easy if you want to achieve something, but never easy if you want to stop doing what you always do and what you always wanted to do. This is what you called addiction, and we all know that its really hard to over come. Is this the end? Is there any cure? Let me help you.

1.) if you really want to quit, you should WANT it. You should be serious about it and not play around. Most people failed to change because they didnt take quitting seriously.

2.) Have a stone hard mindset. Picture yourself to the person you want to be. The old person who doesnt need that things in order to be happy. Always think about the future results you will become.


3.) Be faithful on what you are doing. Cheating is not an option. Dont be fooled on peer pressure or the callings of slot machine. Learn how to have self dicipline. Focus on your goal and have a blindfold if needed.

4.) If you already strengthen your inner self, the next steps is already easy for you. You see, yourself is the best enemy you have and we should start changing you by the way you think. Next is, have other things to do that can make you busy. Start trading or having new business. You will soon realize that the essense of the money you lost in gambling.

5.) never to try it again. People are also malleable in nature and even you didnt do it for years, once you tasted it again, you will turn back to the same addict person you want to get rid of. We have a deep caravings for it psychologically or what you called cravings by our subconscious minds that once triggered, can never be stopped.

Lastly, give me merits if this tips help you. Nah. Just kidding. I just want to write a book someday and i need some inspiration. Gambling is fun though.

[swogerino]

Great points but when it comes to never try again it is the most difficult part for a gambler. It is because when you think you can control yourself , you also say to yourself I am not addicted anymore I can just play a bit for fun and that is the exact point when you restart playing with addiction. Many have tried, very few have succeeded. Your points are great as a beginning.

[eternalgloom]

What about seeking professional help? I can guarantee that there are people who've tried all your suggestions, yet they're unable to quit gambling.
Some people really have no other option than go into therapy to quit their addictions, whether it's gambling, drugs or anything else.

I would also suggest adding some resources, so people can look into finding professional help.

Quitting will be possible only when a gambler decides by heart and not just by world. Deviating our focus into something else may help for most of the gamblers but finding another new interesting thing will be a difficult one practically. This is the reason many times entering to married life or falling in love kind of things helping gamblers to quit easily.

Human mind is capable of adopting anything new but it should be attractive enough. Addicted people must need true affection and care so that they will be able to deviate their focus into something new. Help from family and friends definitely will bring changes in an addicted gambler's life.

[crzy]

Quiting gambling is not easy, most of the gambler addicts failed to on these things because their mind are already corruptes by the casinos. We should not allow ourselves to go beyond on this point, quit as early as you can. Yes gambling is fun, but it can also be a reason of your loneliness and depression.

[upsidedown75]

We should not allow ourselves to go beyond on this point, quit as early as you can.

Practically you will never know that where you are and where is that point existing. Yes, gambling will make your brain to fade away. You will never realize what you are doing and then how you can be sure about  stopping before you will get addicted. Gambling excitements are that much cruel that will hypnotize you to forget everything including yourself. What you will remember is, gambling and gambling and then again gambling. You just want to keep going for gambling by paying any cost and you will forget all your responsibilities.

Yes gambling is fun, but it can also be a reason of your loneliness and depression.

The reverse is also true. Yes, people are going for gambling to get rid of their loneliness and depression and then get addicted to it. Gambling is fun but anything too much will kill. No exceptions.

[bitmover]

I think the biggest difficult in quitting is that addicted people are often deep red, so they feel they need to recover their money through more gambling.

That's a problem, as gambling should be fun, not an obligation to make money.

The important is never gamble more than you can afford to lose.

[Dreamchaser21]

Yes gambling is fun, but it can also be a reason of your loneliness and depression.

The reverse is also true. Yes, people are going for gambling to get rid of their loneliness and depression and then get addicted to it. Gambling is fun but anything too much will kill. No exceptions.

Losing in gambling is very common, and there’s an option for us to leave but sometimes we still choose to stay and keep playing, but in the end we still failed and becomes more emotional, a very common situation of addict gambler.

Quit means leaving the casinos for good and not just stopping yourself not to play today and continue next week, its about doing the hardest thing through small steps and evetually you will become 100% free from gambling addiction.

[zhekinsp]

This is the reason many times entering to married life or falling in love kind of things helping gamblers to quit easily.

This can get backfired too,lot of family were in streets because of their father or husband went into gambling and addicted to it seriously so when they want to quit they have to do,they need to bring th mental power to make it happening.

[LogitechMouse]

All of the points you share to us is true. For some gamblers who are gambling for a long time already, quitting in gambling will be hard for them because they are doing this for a long time already and they are already addicted into it that they can't say it a day without gambling.

I think what matters most is your mindset. You must set your mindset into a mindset that you are really quitting gambling. You must do other things, set your mind and make some consequences to yourself if you tried to gamble.

[Johnyz]

To quit better to try or to think other things like save money to travel in different place like don't use money in gambling or you can play sometimes only then that will rely really in you like if you always think this of course you can achieve this another thing for me if you think negative nothing will happen in that so start first to try all then consult or study all how this will really happen

There a greater place and things aside from gambling so better to look for that. No one can help you,so you must help yourself getting out from that gambling addiction. Don’t just say you want to quit, do it with full of determination, and in time you will succeed and free from that addiction, its not too late to change your lifestyle.

[rodel caling]

Great explanation and guide how to quit in gambling self discipline is the most important thing in any aspect  of goals what they want to achieve in life, people play gambling with self moderation to enjoy and relax themselves it's doesn't means is addicting.
Gambling is not bad games if gambling treated as games for fun not games for the source of income they can't goes into addicting, what do you do in your money without happiness.

[BitBustah]

I don't believe you should be making decisions for other people.  If they enjoy gambling let them be.  It is a just a hobby that some of us like to spend money on.  We all have different hobbies that we spend money on. Whether it is cars, video games, gambling or horses they will take up a lot of our time and money.

[emberbekas]

When something has become a routine, to stop it will certainly not be easy. We must force ourselves not to gamble again even though our minds want it. Seriousness is absolutely necessary if we want to stop and if not, then our intention will only end as a desire. Point #1 itself, if treated correctly will be enough, I think!

I think this is just a piece of advice and of course it wont be applicable for every gamblers. Some of the gamblet knows what they are doing and they are ready to lose money as long as they are having fun, but most of the newbies are just playing to earn money and because of that they became more greedy. Quit gambling if you think you’re doing it wrong and losing so much money already, don’t chase that money anymore.

[michellee]

Unfortunately, that is not as easy as we say, because we need to have a strong mind to quit from gambling and we cannot do that instantly. Besides that, I think it is better to ask other people to help us to quit gambling as we know we cannot always have a strong mind and effort to quit. Maybe we can visit the psychiatry to help us so we can practice quitting with his guide and of course, we need to try from day by day.

Yes, routine things are becoming habit and then becoming addiction. When gamblers are keep going for playing again and again then obviously they do get addicted at the same time we cannot prevent them from going for gambling again and again. When we are able to stop them then I believe we can help them to get rid of their gambling addiction.

But, stopping them from gambling is not easier because we need to convince them by giving another interesting thing so that they will not look into gambling anymore. It is a slow and regular progress and cannot be done in a week of time as it may take months to quit.

[mich]

If you are 100% sure you want to quit this addicting and at times stressful habit, I would recommend serious help.

Trying to get through it on your own may sound like a good/doable idea but it is much better to seek professional help- even if it may cost more.
Good luck with whatever you choose.

5.) never to try it again. People are also malleable in nature and even you didnt do it for years, once you tasted it again, you will turn back to the same addict person you want to get rid of. We have a deep caravings for it psychologically or what you called cravings by our subconscious minds that once triggered, can never be stopped.

That's the most important part

That's basically why there are no former alcoholics or drug addicts. How come? The logic is pretty straightforward as those who have it in them to get rid of their addiction in time don't become alcoholics or drug addicts in the first place. And once you are, there is no way back. Just a tiny percentage can change themselves in such a way they no longer have an urge deep inside

The rest can only stay away from the object of their addiction if they are controlled from outside at all times as they can't control themselves. And if they try, they will eventually give in because when you are free from an addiction, you don't have to control yourself. If you have, you are bound to fail

We cannot easily quit by using the gambling because gambling is one time addiction if we getting more attractive then we cannot get withdrawal from it this will be the most people audition from gambling but it has some solution and it and it will be not easy to make possible if we try main it can work.

[boyptc]

Good luck with the career of writing a book someday, I know that you can do it.

Each point is correct that one should quit if they really want to. Will power, discipline and other self restrains. Quitting isn't easy, do love the process and get your way out of it if you really wanted to quit.

There’s a resistance in some gambler to accept the fact that they are already addict and they need to change or else they will be broke later. Its not easy yes, but you can go with the process and of course you will not do it one time big time because you won’t success through that strategies. Btw, Its good to be writer so good luck OP.

And everything is going to fail

It is like with cancer, the chances of self healing are extremely small since if your body is capable of fighting it off, it won't develop it in the first place. This is the thing which truly addicted should understand and accept, that they can't quit on their own, by their own volition. I have seen many compulsive smokers (actually, a minor addiction) which swore that they could stop smoking any moment if they chose so, and they couldn't even if they were able to abstain from smoking for some time. Same story with compulsive gamblers - they won't stop until they lose all

[Oceat]

Quitting is not that easy to achieve especially if you are used to it but if you slowly making a process every day then that is progress and keep it up until you soon stop it. That is how it's going to be because we can't force ourselves to immediately quit on to something that we already used to. Any help from the others won't do anything because it is all up to unless you listen to what they were saying.

[Indrawan77]

Determination is the most important thing if you want to quit gambling, the support from the family and friend also important, get a new hobby to fill your time so you don't think of gambling anymore, and if you already ever addicted, its better to stay away from it forever, because a small trigger may make you become addicted again, gambling is fun when you can control yourself

Likely, base on my experience of trying to avoid massive bets when I was hyper active but later on I just learned from my experiences when I felt too bad when my pockets are dropping low.

Acceptance and moving on with accordance.

[finaleshot2016]

If you want to quit, you must find an alternative way to do something for you to forget gambling. Gambling can be very addictive specially when money involves. It feels better when you win a profit but not all the time it'll give you money. As long as you're hoping for a win, you can't stop your addiction in gambling because you wanna try and try until winning the game. Just have some time with your family and do something irrelevant to your addiction so you can quit forever.

[shield132]

Oh, if person is gambling addicted, loses and loses, then how can we say "once you tasted it again, you will turn back to the same addict person you want to get rid of." If taste is bad (you lose and get bankrupt), then why do we still want to taste it always? That's a little bit questionable for me and something that I can't understand. One way we can think that once person tastes gambling (and if he loses from the first time), then more likely he will hate it. I think main factor here is that you are a poor person or don't give a shit how much money you waste because you are rich and gamble for profit. I think there is a less risk for rich to become addicted but when you are poor and your overall knowledge (intellect) is on lower level, you think that you'll win much from that one dollar and so on, you always try to fill wished money by playing with the hope of win.

Overall, you have given good points to make someone leave off being an addict, an honesty from me.

However, there is something I want to know from you, have you ever been an addict? if then, do the points you have mentioned make you aware and not become an addicts?

I always remember what Mahatma Gandi did when advising someone, a mother and her child came to Gandi to give advice to her child, her child suffered illness and he was banned by doctors from eating salt, but the child never obeyed. When Gandi heard about this then he told them to go home and come back again after 2 weeks. And two weeks passed and they came back to Mahatma Gandi's house, then he asked for an appointment to advise his sick child, then Mahatma Gandi only said 'don't eat salt to the child' after that they were told to go home. The mother felt strange, because she could also say what Gandi had said, but after that her child never ate salt at all. Apparently, before Mahatma Gandi advised someone then she would change herself first, improve herself after improving others. Hopefully, this happens to you.

If there's a will there's always a way, finding yourself and realign your true self before addictions comes over can be done by a person who really loves to quit, in most cases overcoming addictions starts inside yourself, finding alternatives of source of fun and trying to convert your attentions to other forms of enjoyment will work only if you are really willing to take everything in your hands.

Early stages of addiction can be over come by converting out concentration into something else but what happens when someone addicted to something seriously,they can't get out from it by loving some other thing een if they want also their mind will look for the same old thing so they need medical help with strong determination to quit it.

[maydna]

2.) Have a stone hard mindset. Picture yourself to the person you want to be. The old person who doesnt need that things in order to be happy. Always think about the future results you will become.

I've learned about having a stone hard mindset in the past, and I see it's really difficult to do because we are always tempted for something especially if those things related to money. And when the gambling as the topic, then the tempting of getting money will always there, and it's difficult to prevent as we know that many gamblers still come back to the gambling games because they want to make money. Fortunately, I can solve my problem, and I can pass the tempting of playing gambling, so I don't play the games every day.

[ralle14]

It's not that easy to stop a gambler's addiction because of how many ways to gamble online or offline. On this subreddit you can see users sharing their current situation.  Imo quitting is more of a need than a want since it can change a big part of your life for the better if you manage to stop yourself. Not all tips,solution,advice work for everyone it might be better to ask for someone's help if you can't stop it yourself.

It is true that if you get addicted it becomes difficult to quit the gambling as finally it involves money and people are greedy behind it . Thus this makes life more difficult to quit it as it has now being in your mind and soul and only people who have power to control their emotions could avoid this addiction .

[deisik]

One way we can think that once person tastes gambling (and if he loses from the first time), then more likely he will hate it

In fact, the taste is quite good

It is the aftertaste which is bad. Or do you think people would be smoking, drinking, using drugs, or whatever if it made them feel bad? They start feeling bad after the effect is gone, so they have to come back just to feel normal again as they get used and develop tolerance to what they are taking or doing. That's why it is called addiction. And no, they don't hate the object of their addiction, at least not as much as they hate themselves for being weak and unable to control their actions.

I was a game addict in my youth spending nights and days playing. Then I hated myself for wasting my time so uselessly and still continued playing. It took time till I completely lost interest in games. Now I can't play because I become instantly bored, and I don't have to control myself

I think main factor here is that you are a poor person or don't give a shit how much money you waste because you are rich and gamble for profit. I think there is a less risk for rich to become addicted but when you are poor and your overall knowledge (intellect) is on lower level, you think that you'll win much from that one dollar and so on, you always try to fill wished money by playing with the hope of win.

The risk is essentially the same as well as the consequences. It just takes a little longer

[bering]

More desire you want to stop gambling then you will more deep for your addictions and to stopped from addicted things is not an easy task even it's almost impossible to quit from it without other people help and for me besides all of OP mention above then we should not be shy to tell our addictions to others people especially to our family because our environment can be good medicine to heal from addictions

[Dreamchaser21]

Sometimes its hard to do it alone, and some of the gamblers who lose big money ended up killing their own lives, so I think its really good if you seek some guidance with your family because its not easy to get out on that addiction, and of course you will feel the love and comfort that you need and it can really heal the wounds.

[Naida_BR]

I have the best tip for anyone that wants to quit-start something new in their lives even if this is related to gambling. I got this advice from an old man in the street (God know why he stopped and told me that!)

If you want to start something new, put it in your everyday routine for 5-10 minutes in the beginning and then make it 10-20 minutes. This way it will be part of your daily schedule without even knowing it.

Just think of how many actions you do every day, you didn't do before but slowly and steadily they become part of your routine.
It has application to gambling as well. Think of it!

[crwth]

Everything is easy when you are just reading it, even if you want it, the application is still the challenge in everyone. Even if it's serious, the temptation of the wanting to do it again makes it really hard. It's also based on my experience knowing a person that is an addict to something I don't want to discuss. I know it's not that easy and it's not okay to joke about.

If you have made a book, made sure you share it here in BTCT or somewhere. lol

[hahay]

4.) If you already strengthen your inner self, the next steps is already easy for you. You see, yourself is the best enemy you have and we should start changing you by the way you think. Next is, have other things to do that can make you busy. Start trading or having new business. You will soon realize that the essense of the money you lost in gambling.

5.) never to try it again. People are also malleable in nature and even you didnt do it for years, once you tasted it again, you will turn back to the same addict person you want to get rid of.

Lastly, give me merits if this tips help you. Nah. Just kidding. I just want to write a book someday and i need some inspiration. Gambling is fun though.

These points are indeed supposed to be applied with strong and sincere intentions for those who really want to leave gambling or whatever I feel. I have done this step for a long time and the results have been successful, but when it comes back to the scope we constantly face, we will gradually begin to try again and some of them will come back to gamble again, but when rethinking effort we before, then they will be more able to control themselves in the game that makes them strong not to pursue losses.

[upsidedown75]

I think the most important to remember is that some addictions do not leave you even if you try. You can do your best and actually stop gambling for YEARS before it comes back. That is why I have always cashed my deposits and so forth and always have a connected account with my wife which requires her approval whenever I send money anywhere, I haven't gambled big or even mediocre for years now and never gambled away more than 1 dollar per wager for years now but I keep the 2fa at her phone in case I go back in too much.

She doesn't really care anymore and I am sure if I get back to gambling I can manage to do it while hiding it from her but its at least not as easy as it could be. That is why the psychological help from a professional is a must in case of too much addiction, you can't beat it yourself that easily, you need help.

That's the point I'm trying to make here

And the one which such help-yourself tutorials are typically missing. They all assume, either implicitly or explicitly, that there is a strong will to change, but if there were, there wouldn't be a need for these instructions as most addicted people are perfectly well aware of the disastrous consequences of their addiction, be it obsessive gambling, compulsive drinking, chain smoking, or any other mania

Those who have this will either already overcame their addiction or were strong enough not to fall for it at all (before it became an addiction)

[adzino]

Not sure what you are talking about. I guess its about quitting gambling. To be honest, its easier to write "How to quit gambling" then to do actually do it. You can't just "WANT" to quit and stop forever. There is a reason why it is addiction, you don't want to do it but you still do it.
You just can't go cold turkey when trying to quit. You will need some help. Better to take help from someone else regarding this matter.

[carlfebz2]

Lastly, give me merits if this tips help you. Nah. Just kidding. I just want to write a book someday and i need some inspiration. Gambling is fun though.

I do appreciate the tips or advice given but this line changes everything.Are you aware on how many threads are similar to this?
All of those points are valid ones but I can give out general conclusion if we are really serious on quitting gambling. Just have a very strong self control and discipline and be sensible into your decisions.

[Get-Paid.com]

Arrest the addiction.

That's how you quit.
Pure and simple.

4.) If you already strengthen your inner self, the next steps is already easy for you. You see, yourself is the best enemy you have and we should start changing you by the way you think. Next is, have other things to do that can make you busy. Start trading or having new business. You will soon realize that the essense of the money you lost in gambling.

5.) never to try it again. People are also malleable in nature and even you didnt do it for years, once you tasted it again, you will turn back to the same addict person you want to get rid of. We have a deep caravings for it psychologically or what you called cravings by our subconscious minds that once triggered, can never be stopped.

Lastly, give me merits if this tips help you. Nah. Just kidding. I just want to write a book someday and i need some inspiration. Gambling is fun though.

To sum it up, it all comes to determination on how to quit gambling. Only if a person is totally addicted to it and tend to stop his urge on gambling. Either way, if the person is only doing gambling for leisure and past time, then why would he quit? I don't see any reason for gamblers to quit what they usually do and what makes them happy.

Not sure what you are talking about. I guess its about quitting gambling. To be honest, its easier to write "How to quit gambling" then to do actually do it. You can't just "WANT" to quit and stop forever. There is a reason why it is addiction, you don't want to do it but you still do it.
You just can't go cold turkey when trying to quit. You will need some help. Better to take help from someone else regarding this matter.

Thats right. only "Want" is not enough to get out of addiction. even I am sure all addicts want to quit. but he cannot do it
because it has become a habit for them. Of course there are several ways to stop it. and help might also be very helpful

[johnjimjack]

Quitting is easy if you want to achieve something, but never easy if you want to stop doing what you always do and what you always wanted to do. This is what you called addiction, and we all know that its really hard to over come. Is this the end? Is there any cure? Let me help you.

1.) if you really want to quit, you should WANT it. You should be serious about it and not play around. Most people failed to change because they didnt take quitting seriously.

2.) Have a stone hard mindset. Picture yourself to the person you want to be. The old person who doesnt need that things in order to be happy. Always think about the future results you will become.


3.) Be faithful on what you are doing. Cheating is not an option. Dont be fooled on peer pressure or the callings of slot machine. Learn how to have self dicipline. Focus on your goal and have a blindfold if needed.

I appreciate your tips, but for me personally, they're all useless.
What do you do if you're crippled by depression that stop you from making any change to better the outcome of your life?
Sometimes it just isn't that easy.

[raven7886]

even I am sure all addicts want to quit. but he cannot do it
because it has become a habit for them. Of course there are several ways to stop it. and help might also be very helpful

They want to quit but they will never take time for finding procedures for quitting. Just simply thinking about changes will not help anyone but they must prefer it by their heart so that they will start working on that to make that happening in real life. As it is really a hard part to make them working, no gambler is giving importance for bringing chances but simply sticking with gambling.

What do you do if you're crippled by depression that stop you from making any change to better the outcome of your life?

Firstly, you must find steps to come out of your depression and then you should work on bringing changes for better life. I mean to say if you are enjoying gambling and also looking for quitting it, that will not work. You must start by reducing your gambling hours/number of gambling sessions then you start working on how to quit.

[ethereumhunter]

Arrest the addiction.

That's how you quit.
Pure and simple.

Yes, it's simple, but it's hard to do because the addiction is not just to talk about the addicted itself, but it also needs to know what the method to solve the problem. And once the right method can apply, I am sure the addiction will be cured. But it needs a big effort to stay patient while we are trying to solve the problem and we need more support from other people.

What do you do if you're crippled by depression that stop you from making any change to better the outcome of your life?

I think you should first look into the causes of your depression

That is, whether it is organic or caused by your life circumstances. For example, if you are an addict, then the cause of the depression is pretty clear. You use your addiction as a tool of escaping it but since it is most likely the cause of it, it turns out to be a vicious circle. Alcohol is a well known depressant on its own and it is common for alcohol abusers to be depressed most of the time while still looking for the bottle to get a temporary relief

Supporting each other is the best way to help someone quit it for real. I think that we should give advice from our past experience and share it here in the forum in order to make people believe that there is a true solution and an exit way for gambling addiction.

This is what I personally try to do and I will continue to do it because it makes me happy to see that people can find redemption via my pieces of advice.

You can say that this is easy because you are not the one who’s involved in the situation but knowing some close friend and cousin in which engaging in this struggle,why not try to put your feet into their shoes so you’ll find the right answer

Gambling is somehow addictive but it will depend on the person that do gambling. There are just other people that cannot control themselves when they gamble. The more the are making some losses the aggressive they will become. So, let us just make gambling as for fun. Let us understand that the activity is not for the chance to get wealthy but to enjoy when playing on it. Money also is not the key to happiness. There are others as well and that includes playing a good game that will surely make you more fun.

if the person is only doing gambling for leisure and past time, then why would he quit? I don't see any reason for gamblers to quit what they usually do and what makes them happy.

maybe they will quit because they are now busy and cant squeeze any time for gambling  . i know a friend that was doing gambling only for fun and to past the time because he doesnt have a job before but now that he already accepted for his new job , he already forgot to play gambling even on his spare time . he said he will better use his extra free time to relax and to sleep because working outside is really exhausting .

That is good, he can know which is better to do for his life than for playing gambling, and I agree with him. Maybe gamblers need to have another activity or at least a jobs which can make him busy in all day long, so his mind is not thinking about gambling. And your friend was a good example, and now he can quit from gambling forever and as long as he keeps busy with his jobs, I am sure he will forget about gambling.

I mean to say if you are enjoying gambling and also looking for quitting it, that will not work. You must start by reducing your gambling hours/number of gambling sessions then you start working on how to quit.

In other words, the process of quitting gambling should be started from the gambler and then only the external help will be effective. It means the gambler must wish by their heart and not just on words. No gambler will be preferring to continue their struggle like they always want to stop their mess-up with gambling but they are finding quitting is more struggling one than their struggle of finding money from gambling. They choose which is less struggling one and this is the reason why they are continuing gambling and not taking steps to quit.

As per many gamblers experience, quitting is not easier hence they are preferring to continue their gambling regardless of how many problems they are facing. It is like when they want to stop, they are going for gambling more intensively. Probably there will be no end to this until an external help will be dragging them out of gambling world.

A little cooperation from gambler and an effective help from external world (friends and family) will definitely bring good changes into an addicted gambler gambler's life. But, most of the time these two things are not happening at right time simultaneously.

Yes but this thread is not about people who gamble for fun but people who have a gambling addiction. Most people who go to casinos aren't gambling addicts, they just do it for fun like your friend.

What I find odd is that your friend was laid-off or fired from his job and he decided to gamble instead to pass the time, its a very strange thing to do when you don't have an income. Most unemployed people would never put themselves in that position. The only unemployed people who gamble are either students or gambling addicts.

[NavI_027]

I'm not a gambling addict but I get hooked into other bad stuffs and one of those is watching porn. Well, we all know that watching porn is normal and it is a part of being a man but honestly I come to the point that I want to stop it already because I noticed that it slowly ruins my life not only on the physical aspect (such as being lazy and always tired) but also to my mentality. In order to stop my "a little bit" addiction to porn, I seek some advice through google. I research about the benefits of NoFap, watch testimonies from those who  completed the 30 day nofap challenge and other ways to stop my habit. But in the end, I failed; all the information that I gained from my research remain as knowledge and I didn't put into actions. Did you know the feeling that your brain know what is right but your body refuse to do so because the urge was so strong? That's what I felt that time. And unfortunately, the things became even worse when my girlfriend and I got a quarrel regarding this.

But with God's grace, I finally overcome that bad habit. What I did is I set my fear as my motivation. I'm feared that my  girlfriend will continue to have bad impression to me, lose trust on me and leave me but instead of getting frustrated I used those possibilities to fix myself. So for those people who have gambling addiction or addiction of any form, set your loved ones as your motivation. Imagine the worst thing that could possibly go wrong or the pain you might bring to them if you continue your addiction, for sure you will feel remorseful after. Now use it as your driving force to change .

PS: sorry for the slight shifting of topic.

I don't understand this one, because addiction is not a crime its a battle between you and your emotion. If you're addict in gambling, you cannot stop that easily you have to undergo with the process, and that process will take more time. Its good if there is someone who can work with you, and help you to be better again, patient is the key of course but try to put big effort on that.

To arrest something means to put an end to it, most likely in an abrupt manner

Another phrase with similar meaning which is often used in the context of addiction is to go (or quit) cold turkey. Some people say that slow and steady moving away from your mania is better than an abrupt and complete cessation of it. To say that opinions vary on this matter would be an underestimation as well as oversimplification. Personally, I think that if the withdrawal symptoms are bearable, you'd better walk the route of stopping doing what you are doing completely and immediately, i.e. quitting cold turkey. Otherwise, you'd better proceed slowly

It's not that easy to stop a gambler's addiction because of how many ways to gamble online or offline. On this subreddit you can see users sharing their current situation.  Imo quitting is more of a need than a want since it can change a big part of your life for the better if you manage to stop yourself. Not all tips,solution,advice work for everyone it might be better to ask for someone's help if you can't stop it yourself.

It is true that if you get addicted it becomes difficult to quit the gambling as finally it involves money and people are greedy behind it . Thus this makes life more difficult to quit it as it has now being in your mind and soul and only people who have power to control their emotions could avoid this addiction .

I agree.

A lot of people are already addicted to gambling and it is hard for them to get over it. A lot of people are concerned to this problems as a lot of people are still getting addicted to gambling. People should have the knowledge of what may come to them when they get addicted to gambling, a lot of people are lost to this and they should be wary of it.

Not at all and its hard and cant be detected the early signs.You might told yourself that you wont really get easily addicted so you decide to play gambling without
even realizing that you are already gradually doing the same thing over and over again.You will continue to say that you aren't addicted but you are already spending too much money.
This is quite common problem nowadays and that's why we can see gambling industry is booming because of these people who are addicted to it.

I agree.There are really those people who claimed that they are not addicted gamblers without realizing that they have spent too much money for gambling.Addiction can really be stopped if the gambler itself choses it to happen.He should be fully motivated to stay away from gambling and that he should not gamble again.This is only hard in the beginning but as soon as you  are used already not to gamble,then it would be easy for you to stop gambling addiction.

Yeah if it's become a habit it will be difficult to erase. the desire must be accompanied by effort. if you don't try to find the right way
and procedure to stop. then what happens is you just sticking in gambling continuously

[goaldigger]

Yeah, these tips are need to be applied in order to succeed and the application is really harder to do than just reading it. It all depends on you and your will power in the end. Yes its hard but once you finnish it, you can be thankful that you quit one of the most dangerous addiction of all. Just try it at first then try and try until you succeed.

[denny27]

It's indeed difficult, but if we have high intentions it will certainly be able to be done as well as assisted with many things that can support to stop gambling.
On me, seems I won't quit on this I guess, so far it still not harmful for me, I'm still made gambling such as another side to getting fun and not addicted because no need for a long time to play gambling in some gambling sites.

You just can't go cold turkey when trying to quit. You will need some help. Better to take help from someone else regarding this matter.

Exactly, that's why I mentioned in my previous comment that you basically need professional help for that.
Most real addict simply aren't able to quit by themselves and these sorts of guides usually have the opposite effect.

They'll read something like this and think: Oh I can just quit by myself, I don't need professional help.

Then they'll just trick themselves into thinking it will get better, as long as they try hard enough.
Usually it's just not as simple as that.

[omonuyak]

Op you have made my day.  This is not just in gambling but in all facets of live.  If you really want to quite any addict you have to become very serious about your decision.  Many people are failing in breaking the hard habit like gambling or porn because of lack of seriousness to break it.  I think we should not just jump into gambling if there is no plan on the way out.

[Vaculin]

If one will follow your advice they might be able to quit in gambling.

People who have control on them self will be able to break free any addiction and as a result will be able to go a long way in life with out getting any addicted or can come out of it. But when money gets involved things become little impossible as every one want easy money and in gambling losing money is way much easier than wining it. So coming out of it require the real will power and a strong commitment.

Not all addicts are good people because most addicts are not addicted to gambling but rather they are addicted to illegal and dangerous drugs .  after they got really high of course they will get out of their minds and do fatal crimes  like murder , rape , hold uping , kid napping and others...

These are the main reason on why police will arrest addictcs  . not only arresting but they do kill it upfront .

But if you are only addicted to gambling , there is no need to worry about because no one will harm you  .

You need to have  Plan so that you can be quit gambling if you really want to do that. But maybe it's hard because if your habit is playing gambling it's not easy to quit they have process on that like the other.

I love the concept of arresting addict to stop their addiction totally,sometimes people need a force to help them get over addiction,just like in drugs in which people are not intentionally got involved but we put them in jail.so why not do this in gambling addicted?theres alot of cases that an gambling addict engaged in crimes .like what happen in manila philippine year ago in where a gambler killed many people and bring to fire the casino hotel

[EdenHazard]

Gambling is not the crime so we cannot be arrested on the basis that we are addicted to it. Yes, there are places in the world where gambling is considered as a sin, only in those places anyone can be arrested on gambling.

In my country gambling is categorized as a crime, for those who are caught gambling they will be taken by the police and imprisoned. And maybe only those who use online gambling will never be arrested, but for developing countries there are only a few people who understand technology.

Quiting gambling is not easy as it depends upon one will and noone else can do it except ourself.

If gambling is a habit who cannot be abandoned, until whenever you will never stop, unless you are aware of a negative thing that will come to you.

In some countries, gambling is not prohibited. Obviously, this causes certain parties not to have the authority to arrest the gambling addicts because gambling addict is really not a crime.

Well. To stop gambling, we cannot do it alone, we need support from our family too. Because I think, the family is one of the important things that can really help and support us to stop gambling, for sure.

I may have some addition for the OP also, you can give your money to your mom and told her that even if you want it back dont dare to give you even if just a single penny though moms are always strict when itcomes to money. But if you dont have any Mommy, I suggest to find one

And second thing if you cant find any get yourself a wife. And if still nothing because you're way too ugly inside and outside of your personality I suggest you to get a rope hang it on the tree, leave your belongings and money together with a note "I'm quitting gambling" then after that hang yourself into the rope

impressed that addicts are plague and must be exiled. even though addicts are people who need help. moreover they don't hurt other people and aren't contagious right? arrest them not the way out. they need help from a psycholog.

That is the problems nowadays. They are eliminating or containing the affected areas but they are not stopping the root of the problem. Instead of arresting these addicts, why not stop the gambling places or the casinos? And I know no one would want that and in the end, it is on our hands to stop ourselves from gambling and be addicted to it. No one can stop ourselves but us.

[radjie]

You need to have  Plan so that you can be quit gambling if you really want to do that. But maybe it's hard because if your habit is playing gambling it's not easy to quit they have process on that like the other. This information is really helpful to quit to those people have plan but it depends to you if that works on that we have different habits and mind set and maybe it will not work for you.

Having a plan before deciding to stop gambling is indeed something we need to do. for gamblers who already have a great addiction it is very difficult to abandon their habits unless they can vent by filling in other activities so that they are able to engage in positive activities

[dupee419]

This is indeed helpful, but in the end of the day there's no one there to help but except you yourself, if you have read this and you are addicted to gambling then I hope it does help you out, this is a serious matter since your money is on the line, if you can't help yourself to stop it as early as possible then your future is doomed, if you want to quit then quit as early as possible before you completely lose yourself.

Withdrawing your work from anything will not be solution for I think so to some other ways to manage that problem in gambling also we have lot of losses to be happened in many times but quit that things will be more important but managing the losses will be the good idea.

[izanagi narukami]

Well, I can control myself to keep gambling or not.
But if you let the gambling control you, you should contact someone that able help you.
Since we are adult, we can decide to choose something true or false so it's kindda strange where you can't control your will !

4.) If you already strengthen your inner self, the next steps is already easy for you. You see, yourself is the best enemy you have and we should start changing you by the way you think. Next is, have other things to do that can make you busy. Start trading or having new business. You will soon realize that the essense of the money you lost in gambling.
~

I disagree with this advice. Being successful in any business is not easy. Most people fail and that's why there are a lot more poor people in the world than rich ones. Your advice looks like as if one starts a business, the success is 100% guaranteed, while the opposite is true in many cases in reality.

If I was trying to help a gambling addict to quit, I would change that to "Start spending money on something other than gambling. ..." If those were big money, the effect won't be long in coming.

unfortunately these are the adults which play gambling too much that they become addicted and then it is impossible to quit. Similarly adult do the smoking and smoking is difficult to quit even though all the adult knows how much disadvantages it has, for the health.

That's true but better if you are an adult as you are more matured compared and can make good decision.
Gambling is risky, you cannot erase that reality but you can also avoid getting addicted, that if you follow the rules to play on what you can afford only.
As a gambler, you know you should know your limitation, knowing when to quit is very important, don't get too attach with your emotion in the game.

[MidKnight]

I think friends and family will be a great help for anyone addicted in gambling who wants to quit for good. And add some activites that will take much of your time like sports or getting far away to those places where he can access a casino again. And the best part is to pray to God so you'll recover easily.

[Siren]

It depends on who wanted to quit,because if the person is just a typical gambler so maybe all that you give as an advices is applicable since quitting for them might not be that harder,but if we are talking for a gambling addicted then this are two different thing,yes they will be wanting to leave the addiction and go through life but this is not easy,this is a burden to everyone with this kind of situation so add some more valuable advices that what you have written in the OP

Making a new habit will help that person to try to forget the gambling game because he needs to stay focus to finish the habit. And I am sure with the support from his friends and family, he can cure his addicting in gambling, and he can get a new life, and he can stop from gambling forever. Although it's not so simple as we think, at least we have to try to help that person to solve the problem.

If you want to leave gambling then you can definitely do it but if you lost much more money in gambling and leaving quickly will not give any profit for you so if you are doing gambling if you want to leave then leave slowly slowly it will be the right way for a gambler to get out from gambling.

Yes, love and affection are always known for bringing miracles to our life. Hence, it will help even for getting rid off gambling addictions. External helps are always having good impact on making gamblers to get rid of their addiction but unfortunately most gamblers are not at all preferring to open about their gambling addiction to their family members.

if you are doing gambling if you want to leave then leave slowly slowly it will be the right way for a gambler to get out from gambling.

This must be a working way only before you get addicted because after got addicted to gambling, you will never able to control yourself and leaving off gambling slowly will not be possible. If you think about slowly leaving off then you will go for more intensive gambling and more frequently too.

I believe so.But of course with self-determination and motivation to change and with a perfect picture of who you want to be in the future.I think quitting would not be so hard to do if you are helping yourself too.Although the love and affection from your loved ones are always present,but at least you should also be responsible to make good changes in your life and not to try gambling again anymore.

[bisdak40]

Quitting is easy if you want to achieve something, but never easy if you want to stop doing what you always do and what you always wanted to do. This is what you called addiction, and we all know that its really hard to over come.

It is definitely easy to quit if you don't have the passion on what you are doing. For me, gambling is a passion because i have to be very good with it for me to excel though it is not the case for others. We have different goals on why we gamble. With me, winning money is my ultimate goal so if i don't achieve my goals then i would think on what i should do next and quitting is part of it.

Wrong goal! Probably you are going to regret about this later.

When you have ultimate goal of making money then you should earn money, making easy money won't work for many people only with the luck can but still it won't last long.

Actually, we can easily leave gambling but we don't want to leave because we always think that we have another chance to win the money. Sometimes we forget that stop from gambling need a big effort to try because gambling is always tempting us to get back to the game. And that is why many people get addiction on the gambling itself.

[goaldigger]

Oh, if person is gambling addicted, loses and loses, then how can we say "once you tasted it again, you will turn back to the same addict person you want to get rid of." If taste is bad (you lose and get bankrupt), then why do we still want to taste it always? That's a little bit questionable for me and something that I can't understand. One way we can think that once person tastes gambling (and if he loses from the first time), then more likely he will hate it. I think main factor here is that you are a poor person or don't give a shit how much money you waste because you are rich and gamble for profit. I think there is a less risk for rich to become addicted but when you are poor and your overall knowledge (intellect) is on lower level, you think that you'll win much from that one dollar and so on, you always try to fill wished money by playing with the hope of win.

You know the feeling when you let go someone you love, like a person, a hobby or your passion? Thats what i mean in this. Even you overcome leaving that addiction, there is still something in your heart that once triggered you will run off to it even you dont admit it. This is why you should avoid trying it again. Even you lose, or youre hurt, if you love that thing that it turned you to an addict, then thats a big deal for you.

[Naida_BR]

Arrest the addiction.

That's how you quit.
Pure and simple.

I may have some addition for the OP also, you can give your money to your mom and told her that even if you want it back dont dare to give you even if just a single penny though moms are always strict when itcomes to money. But if you dont have any Mommy, I suggest to find one

And second thing if you cant find any get yourself a wife. And if still nothing because you're way too ugly inside and outside of your personality I suggest you to get a rope hang it on the tree, leave your belongings and money together with a note "I'm quitting gambling" then after that hang yourself into the rope

1. We are grown adults. You are not worthy if you just can't control your money and you have to hire someone else to manage them for you if you are a gambling addict. You still have to find another way of overpassing your addiction.

2. Meeting a girlfriend or getting married is a good solution as long as you will spend time with your spouse and do new exciting things together that will make you forget about gambling.

No matter how old you are you can become an addict. this is not about age and even small children also know that addiction is a bad
thing. but if it has become a habit it will be difficult to stop. I think you need help from a psychiatrist or something.if you have difficulty getting out and have tried

Hard but not impossible so when someone really want to get away from gambling they need to have some other intention to quit it and they need to love it more than the gambling then they can avoid gambling at all.

Easy to say but so hard to execute. Its only possible if you help yourself to survive and to totally stop that addiction, gambling is always there but your life is not so better to spend more time with your fanily, and with the right person. Ask for some help if you can’t do it alone, don’t be afraid to share your experience.

I didn't say it was easy,it hard tho but not impossible to make it happen when you have that kind of courage.Definitely help from others also needed but the mindset from yourself is very important to get away from addiction completely.

[proTECH77]

The word quit in gambling if addicted to it is likely to be hard. At a time i ran at lost in gambling and i thought over it to quit but i could not just because of my lonely life after taken that decision. To quit will be easier to those who are not deep into gambling(casino's) or any other games.
In addition to OP write up will love to add that, before quitting from gambling an individual in concern must have made up his/her mind to shift into another ways of life that can calm loneliness and depression as these are most likely to be the last result of quit the world of GAMBLING!.

[onrise]

Im hard to quit a gambling, you know, I was fascinated with it and co-friends, thanks for your advises.

People get carried away due to friends which is very wrong as one should be knowing their present situation and not to forget that everyone does not have same money. For some one even if they lose it is fine and for others it is bread and butter. So take decisions rationally.

[carlisle1]

Quitting is easy if you want to achieve something, but never easy if you want to stop doing what you always do and what you always wanted to do. This is what you called addiction, and we all know that its really hard to over come. Is this the end? Is there any cure? Let me help you.

1.) if you really want to quit, you should WANT it. You should be serious about it and not play around. Most people failed to change because they didnt take quitting seriously.

2.) Have a stone hard mindset. Picture yourself to the person you want to be. The old person who doesnt need that things in order to be happy. Always think about the future results you will become.


3.) Be faithful on what you are doing. Cheating is not an option. Dont be fooled on peer pressure or the callings of slot machine. Learn how to have self dicipline. Focus on your goal and have a blindfold if needed.

4.) If you already strengthen your inner self, the next steps is already easy for you. You see, yourself is the best enemy you have and we should start changing you by the way you think. Next is, have other things to do that can make you busy. Start trading or having new business. You will soon realize that the essense of the money you lost in gambling.

5.) never to try it again. People are also malleable in nature and even you didnt do it for years, once you tasted it again, you will turn back to the same addict person you want to get rid of. We have a deep caravings for it psychologically or what you called cravings by our subconscious minds that once triggered, can never be stopped.

Lastly, give me merits if this tips help you. Nah. Just kidding. I just want to write a book someday and i need some inspiration. Gambling is fun though.

First question is are you a former gambling addict and have you applied this to yourself?am just curious because the way you deliver the thread seems like you have been into this serious situation

Specially when you mentioned that QUITTING IS EASY ,do you really know whats the feeling of a Gambler?and those addicted into this?i doubt your not,so dont speak that you feel what they are having

[michellee]

Im hard to quit a gambling, you know, I was fascinated with it and co-friends, thanks for your advises.

Well, I think you need other people to help you to get out from gambling because the longer you quit gambling, the more money you will lose. Besides that, the big risk you should face later when you feel difficult to quit gambling is you will become addicted in gambling and in that time, it's hard to solve the addiction so it's better to quit gambling while you can.

Quitting gambling does not require someone else so you can get out, the only thing that can get you out of gambling is just yourself. A strong desire to gambling because you have become an addict will be difficult to let go and the help of others is not the right way, IMO. Maybe someone else can give a gambling addict with advice that might help, but if a gambler still doesn't have a strong desire to quit, then the advice will be useless.

I think it is a bad idea to forcefully get someone to quit their addiction.  They need to be ready to do it themselves, friends can only do so much and they may end up destroying their relationship.  I've seen my own friends turn to drugs before and they were not going to quit until they were ready, it didn't matter what the people around them said.

That's right, stop while you Still have time and never to engage too much, being addicted is a big problem so if you have enough time to quit the quickest as you can and never to let your emotions being manipulated by your gambling activities as things might be more worse if you will allow the excitement and thrill to overpower your decision making, spend time with other activities to lessen your thoughts about gambling.

The Tata exit came out of your mind will after the huge loss otherwise quitting will not happened to our mind still we are nothing so much money but once we are entered into this field we cannot get out of it either you are getting profit or loss you cannot do any other business more than gambling this is my strong opinion.

[Bagaji]

The chances of quiting in the world of betting is very minimal according to research done on the effect of gambling. For a gambler to quit the gambling life is very rare but possible when the individual involve is not an addict. OP has a very good point there but those addicted to this games are likely not to withdraw back from the race of been a gambler either in gains or in looses.

Of course not, but sometimes we are feeling difficult to quit gambling because of the tempting of the gambling game bigger than we can imagine. It keeps attracting us to still continue playing the game and many people still doing over and over again until they don't have any money. So if we can have someone that can help us to quit gambling, then it will better because that person will always tell and drag us to leave the gambling places.

[Pffrt]

Quiting gamble depend on a person's mind. If somebody wants to quit gambling from heart, he will successful but other than this, how much try or technique you use to quiting gambling, nothing will work. It is a big problem for the addictive person. Mostly who play at a row with a big amount of money. I have seen some people who tried but failed.

[tabas]

Im hard to quit a gambling, you know, I was fascinated with it and co-friends, thanks for your advises.

First, you need to think about it that quitting gambling is hard if you alone isn't helping yourself. But if you're doing something to avoid the craving to gamble, you can do it. It's really hard if you can't help yourself but if you seek immediate help with your friends or professional help that will give you a program to follow to solve your addiction problem, results will depend on how consistent you are.

Perhaps, he needs to know how strong his mind to quit gambling and what he should do to quit gambling. He can feel successful to quit gambling when he tries, and he is not gambling in that day so he can try to do the same thing in the next days. I've seen some people failed to quit gambling too but I also saw some people who can quit gambling, and he is consistent with his decision to quit gambling. I think it's about how good the attitude we have to quit gambling and how big our effort to really want to quit gambling.

This is just happening only because of the greediness, when someone got money from something the other people are try also trying the same to make that much amount of money but it won't work at many cases just be generous and find your own way to make money.

[detector]

Never let the gambling control you, you're the decision maker so you're controlling yourself !
Sometimes, I'm confuse where someone can't out from gambling. I'm aware that every people have their own tolerance of something because their attitude being created by their family and environment !

[goaldigger]

Im hard to quit a gambling, you know, I was fascinated with it and co-friends, thanks for your advises.

Its nice to hear that comming from you. Simple realizations is enough to start quitting gambling. Its like computing how much money you got lost for the pass year and thinking if that money will be put in sometjing else like establishing business or travel with your family. With this you will realize youre doing your whole gambling career wrong and you can start changing yourself from it.

[Belec]

Just do not let gambling make you cry, just another ronde. If you do not control yourself, you are simply obsessed with gambling and the greed of the government in you. You do not have to worry about gambling if you enjoy and have fun in it, but if it can not stop you do not need to play.

I think we don't have to force them to quit, but we can tell them to quit gambling while we can explain to them about the bad side of gambling. And if we can gives the right information and in the right moment, I am sure that we can get attention from him and we can help him to quit gambling too. Maybe it's a hard way for us, but as long as we can see that they have a chance to quit, then we should try because they deserve to quit gambling.

[Ucy]

Nice suggestions.

I guess those who play because of greed might be the ones suffering addiction. I wonder if those who play just for fun  also go through the addiction as some type of addiction usually results from doing non benefial things for fun. Maybe if we can solve the greed problem we can also solve the addiction problem.

[cabalism13]

Nice suggestions.
-snip-

Maybe if we can solve the greed problem we can also solve the addiction problem.

Mate, humans are made with a brain to use, in which knowledge is being expanded through experiences. Greed is also one of those things that can be learned, it doesn't have to be solve for it is not a problem, it really just became one because a person is lacking some functionality and so does addiction.

Any treatment  won't work against it.
It will only depend on the person involve whether they want to or not.

I wonder if those who play just for fun  also go through the addiction as some type of addiction usually results from doing non benefial things for fun. Maybe if we can solve the greed problem we can also solve the addiction problem.

Yes, those who only play for fun can also be addicted, we can see this as online games that are currently becoming popular. Why do I liken it to online games, whereas it is not gambling like mobile legends, pubg, etc. Because what we know is that those who play gambling just for fun are those who only play with money that has been set aside to get pleasure in gambling. The problem of greed is about emotional control, if you can control your emotions to be better and more patient, then at least you can minimize greed. To solve the problem of addiction depends on how much your intention to stop, if you have a strong intention to leave gambling, then chances are you will succeed.

Never let the gambling control you, you're the decision maker so you're controlling yourself !
Sometimes, I'm confuse where someone can't out from gambling. I'm aware that every people have their own tolerance of something because their attitude being created by their family and environment !

Actually, an addict can stop gambling when he really wants to quit. With notes, he stopped it because his own desires were not the wishes of others or not because there were people who wanted him to stop gambling. Usually, when a gambling addict wants to quit with his own desire then he already knows what the ins and outs of gambling is, what the danger of gambling is and he has felt it. Unlike a gambling addict wants to quit because of someone else's encouragement, then when he decides to stop gambling because of compulsion, and the opportunity to gamble again is still wide open.

it's not as easy as it says, like cigarette addicts, drug addicts or others. when you are used to gambling and becoming a habit it will be very difficult to erase it, lets say you are not gambling today (its easy) but your habits will make you think, what is lacking today? its because you don't gamble today

The sad part is that people are controlled by gambling and they are unable to make good decision of quitting it themselves . It is greediness and the addiction which keep people play gambling even if they are losing money in it. This way their family and children suffers a lot because of this habit.

[onrise]

Just do not let gambling make you cry, just another ronde. If you do not control yourself, you are simply obsessed with gambling and the greed of the government in you. You do not have to worry about gambling if you enjoy and have fun in it, but if it can not stop you do not need to play.

If people can't control them self this will is like inviting trouble for them self as gambling can be so addictive that one would never know how quickly they might get addicted to such things and may end up losing lot of money in coming time So just in case you want to gamble ensure you play for fun so that do not worry  much about the money  even if you lose at times.

I agree with you, quit is not as easy as everyone says because as you say, when it has become a habit, a part of everyday life, if we don't have it, everything will be like you say, we feel a lack of something then uncomfortable and go back to gambling to satisfy that feeling. And so the journey for abolition is very arduous, we will need to go through a lot of challenges to get rid of gambling and the most important challenge is probably ourselves, if we don't have the consistency and the willingness to give up, method or any other sharing also can not help us

From that point, people who keep engaging to this activity will keep doing it each time they've got the chance, most of replied here are helpful only if gamblers really take it seriously, if one person's deal with his own issue he will be be able to overcome things as long he's ready to embrace changes in his everydays life.

I think you are not a gambler mate because it is easy for you to say about quitting gambling

I am telling you,this is not how simply the issue is..

Human is inborn of being fighters and gambling is some kind of fight because you are dealing with your opponent either individuals or the table itself

[michellee]

You better quit gambling so you won't bet anymore. Hope you understand that leaving gambling will make your life confident without.

You can say like that, but I guess that many of us having difficulties to quit gambling especially for an addicted person in gambling. We can see it in real life, many people stay in the gambling game because they have a big hope that in someday, they can make a lot of money from gambling. That is why many people still playing gambling but I am sure that some of them don't want to become addicted to gambling.

[tippytoes]

Great points but when it comes to never try again it is the most difficult part for a gambler. It is because when you think you can control yourself , you also say to yourself I am not addicted anymore I can just play a bit for fun and that is the exact point when you restart playing with addiction. Many have tried, very few have succeeded. Your points are great as a beginning.

Very few people has the strength to fight their addiction. It's like quitting smoking. If you will end up your vice drastically, you will be crazy with yourself. Try lessening your habit first and find another hobby that you are passionate about. Divert your attention to another worthwhile hobby. It takes strong determination to quit on something. You should set a greater goal for yourself why you are doing this in the first place. So if you are about to reroute again, just think of these goals you already commit to yourself.

[ethereumhunter]

I wish that every people who were still playing gambling could know how to quit from gambling and they can quit gambling in anytime they want. We don't want to become addicted in gambling, and we should understand that playing gambling is just to get fun with or without any friends and we don't have to spend all day long to playing gambling. We need to realize that it's enough for us to play many games in gambling and it's better to end the games while we can.

I wish that way so there will be no more addiction, gambling has to be part of the entertainment activity in our life, it should not dictate
us on what to do. Getting addicting is a cause by our wrong action, it's not hard to learn and be discipline gambling if we know how to implement our strategy and be in control of ourselves.

[Idrisu]

To quit from gambling and betting is not a small thing and one will need to put more effort to be able to make any significant progress in quiting gambling as a habit.  Many people don't know what to do now especially now that blockchain technology gambling is still now.

[Botnake]

To quit from gambling and betting is not a small thing and one will need to put more effort to be able to make any significant progress in quiting gambling as a habit. 

They should, and that effort should be consistent because if we want to quit, we only decided on our own.
We are in control and once we get addicted it's hard to control ourselves to resist gambling, but we need to resist it for our own good.
Gambling will ruin your life if you get addicted to it, but in general, gambling is not bad.

Many people don't know what to do now especially now that blockchain technology gambling is still now.

Whether there's online gambling or not, gamblers are still vulnerable to addiction, hence, they need to mature and man up to understand the risk.

As long as we understand gambling is a part of the entertainment, people will not use their time to play gambling only. They will prevent to play for a long time, and they realize that they need to do something else before they get too deep in the gambling games. They don't want to become addicting to gambling because they know the risk of playing gambling.

I wouldn't blame the technology to contribute with someone's addiction.

It's part of our lives to see adoption and innovation with such activities that we use. The real cause still depends on the gambler and the technology? it depends on the user on how he's benefiting or using it on the proper way.

I think it's impossible, we know that gambling players are millions of people and they have their own traits, some of them may live  in gambling and that's their way of life, we must understand that addiction is a normal thing in gambling world, there is no exact way to get out, then come back to each the player wants to be healed or not

Gambling really is fun.  All things in moderation.  I don't see a problem as long as people keep it fun.  Of course, it's fun to win.   So learn some strategy and always set some limits.  Gamble responsibly

When you gamble responsibly, you never need to quit. Yes, it is fun to win and more particularly trying like taking all the efforts for winning also a kind of big fun for many gamblers and it does not need to be a materialized one. Just a feeling itself must be good to have. But unfortunately these are not enough to stay safer from gambling without getting addicted. Yeah, you may become a gambling addict even you gamble for entertainment purposes.

But, gambling responsibly may prevent a gambler not getting addicted as he may not into gambling more frequently and taking break time to time is also possible when we know what we are doing.

It is too hard to quit gambling after got addicted but it will be much easier to gamble responsibly to avoid gambling addictions. But, common people are always picking the harder one by ignoring the method which is also assuring a happier life along with peace of mind.

If people really become responsible than their is  not issue. But for the fact that we know people get addicted to gambling because it involves money and everyone wants to earn quick and easy money which is the root cause. Instead if they just play for fun it would be so much better for all.

Yes i do only play gambling for fun and not because of the profit but sometimes i cannot resist to be addicted on the game . its not really about the money but its how you find it entertaining or self pleasuring  to become addicted with it  . however im not deciding to quit because i can still control myself to not go overboad  .

Have fun always in gambling is a must because that is designed for that purpose but since a lot of greedy people, they think gambling is a way for them to become rich easily. We should really be more responsible in playing so we can have a good amount of money after they play. If you want to quit start on the small step, and if you think you can afford to stop gambling do it, don't waste the time for you to change and to be better again.

Its hard to act on this addiction because our mind are already corrupted but it is still possible to play better without any addiction. The steps to quit are really advisable in gambling, don’t force yourself to the limit and make bad things because of gambling.

Well, its how you take gambling in your life. If you think that gambling is your life and you are solely dependent on it, you will never be able to quit.

[bitzizzix]

Playing also just for fun and being a gambling addict is a different nature, playing only for fun can still be stopped by diverting to a game outside of gambling because things that are self-pleasing are universal, can still be overcome by developing talent or holidays and others.
Being a gambling addict to stop requires a long process such as drug addicts who need long enough rehabilitation and everything depends on strong intentions and self improvement by deepening faith.

So many times people say that when you join gambling do with the passion for enjoying it and not to make money. the moment people start doing for second case this is where it end up going wrong as it has huge side effects. Also to get unwind from addition choose or create another hobby for yourself and get engaged in that which will help you to recover from this gambling addiction.

[swogerino]

Many people try to quit gambling but do so when they are heavily addicted to it. This is very difficult to do because a gambler may not realise that he is addicted.

For me the best way to quit gambling is to start by betting lower and lower amounts everyday until you start to have some self control. Once you get it then you may try to quit gambling and even seek a bit of professional help to accelerate the process.

I do not think that it is so easy to quit gambling specially if you have become addicted. People want to make big money in short time and they think that gambling is the only option with them, so they start play gambling which make them addicted, and after that it become difficult for them to quit gambling. I think that we should play gambling in such manner that we should not become addicted and it always remain easy for us to quit gambling at any time we want.

For an addicted gambler, no tips nor suggestion will work until they realize themselves about the importance of quitting gambling. Only if they try with full-hearted, they can be successful in quitting it.

Anything which is played more than required can be termed as addiction and gambling is one thing where people are so much attracted towards it that they have no idea how much they are investing in it and what will be the effects if they lose their money.

I agree with you here, gambling is like a game people do for fun, right? - The problem is when you get addicted to it like to any game and i know what i'm talking about.

Obviously some people just need to clear their mind for a while from any though situation they are passing through and in this case games can be lifesavers in fact if the person manages to rehabilitate later in case the situation was really really bad. I once met a guy which first and only daughter drowned in a water well and his wife divorced him so he found comfort in an online game, after a couple of years he was ok.

Different situations exists for different people. Extremes are really bad but in some very not so common cases it can in fact help if you do it right(Like not spending absolutely all your money in it).

That is possible if we always learn from our experience, the main reason why we cannot quit is because we did not learn.
It's easy to say that we will quite but sometimes we are not capable on doing it, because we are so tied up with gambling and we think
that we cannot live without it. That's very reliance to gambling and with too much reliance, things are just getting harder for us, although we need
to quit but due to our lack of discipline things are harder for us to do.

Gambling may not be the worst thing that could ever happen to you but we should really take care of what we do.

Maybe we should change this kind of attitude and think of about the future.

Learning from your mistakes will help you quit and manate your life easily. If you didn't learn from your daily problems or specifically in gambling, it's hard to quit. You can't easily accept a fact that you're losing that's why you're still in the state of keep going to get back the profit and earn huge profit.

Quitting does not mean to quit gambling forever. It is just your judgment of when to quit for a day after a loss or a win. If you know this art of quitting, you can earn more money from gambling.

Quitting is easy if you want to achieve something, but never easy if you want to stop doing what you always do and what you always wanted to do. This is what you called addiction, and we all know that its really hard to over come. Is this the end? Is there any cure? Let me help you.




3.) Be faithful on what you are doing. Cheating is not an option. Dont be fooled on peer pressure or the callings of slot machine. Learn how to have self dicipline. Focus on your goal and have a blindfold if needed.

Above all you’ve mentioned this is one that will surely bring us to changes And quitting if we can be faithful in everything we do,specially if this is for our own benefits

Discipline can be learnt,what we only need is control and capacity to deny when we think its not better for us

[peter0425]

You better quit gambling so you won't bet anymore. Hope you understand that leaving gambling will make your life confident without.

Thank you for your kindness, I really appreciate that. Many people judge gambling as negative things, including yourself, but I am not sure about the advice you convey. When you talk like that, have you ever gambled? if then, how long do you do gambling? When someone assures that gambling is something that must be avoided, he must know and he has experienced it, but if not, then you are only lying to yourself.

Precisely, you can talk about things when you already came from the situations, unless you are just talking nothing, people who suffer from this problem and able to catch up are meant to give advises base from what they experienced before, moving forward from past bad experienced really hard to be accomplish, but with your willingness and your self control tough things can be achieved.

Experienced will tell the whole story and will bring something educational to avoid or to help preventing things to happen again.

That is possible if we always learn from our experience, the main reason why we cannot quit is because we did not learn.
It's easy to say that we will quite but sometimes we are not capable on doing it, because we are so tied up with gambling and we think
that we cannot live without it. That's very reliance to gambling and with too much reliance, things are just getting harder for us, although we need
to quit but due to our lack of discipline things are harder for us to do.

Quitting is an easy word to speak but isn't easy to perform. It is our bond towards gambling will stop us from doing it and we know that some people make this things as bread and butter for their livings. It sometimes due to our greediness and aiming for more which need to gamble everyday for the purpose of having chances to win millions just like of the others.

You can't easily accept a fact that you're losing that's why you're still in the state of keep going to get back the profit and earn huge profit.

That is if gamblers know how to learn from their mistakes, but majority didn't learn, that's why they become addicted to it. For me there's something really important in your life that will make you quit gambling and never comeback, its something big that involves emotion so that we will get knock out and realized your mistakes.

[Mister1k]

This has been part of ours lives and for those who are mere gamblers may have their gut to say quitting gambling is as free as express but that's the opposite. Gambling is what i do and am well pleased to be called a gambler!!.

It is your choice but you should be responsible to it.

Gambling may not be the worst thing that could ever happen to you but we should really take care of what we do. Getting out of addiction is hard but being addicted and staying there all of your life is much harder. Though as I said, it is your choice but always think what is the best thing that can happen.

Gambling addiction is something that we need to avoid, but if we will not able to do it, we should get out and correct our mistakes.
Early stage of addiction is not hard to cure, but we need to be honest with ourselves, otherwise it will become a serious problem and will not only
affect you but the people surrounds you. That's part of the risk being a gambler, that's why we need to be discipline.

If you are fine enough to overcome from the greediness and fear then you will be able to manage the gambling investment wisely. I advice you to be think twice while you picking every odds. Mostly turn around all the time expect the matches going one side.
when you need to invest on gambling and keep safe then no need to think and quit it.

No arguments, it’s a difficult job but not impossible. I think that if a person have self-determination and having good support of their family and friends, he can get rid of becoming addicted in gambling. I think it will be more useful if he will engage himself in some other kind of activates. I hope that through this way he can quit gambling activities very easily.

Yes.An addicted gambler should have a strong mindset and a focus to get rid of gambling.Because if he really wants to quit,then he should be ressponsible for that.Quitting might be quite hard but if you do it with a purpose and a target goal,i'm sure you will find success at the end of the day along with the support of your family and friends.

There is no reason to stick of being a gambler for the whole life if you seen no improvement to us, better to look something different which you could be able to make money rather than of losing it easy through gambling. And there is no surprise that your friends as well as your family will be happy of your change. It is really hard to quit if your not doing it seriously.

The intention to stop gambling usually arises after we get bad results in gambling and it mostly will remain as intention without the real action. Without the help from the closest people it would be very difficult for addicts to quit unless he went bankrupt and had no more money to bet.

[Moiyah]

Self determination is really significant if you wanna quit gambling. If you are losing everything and you think your life should be go back to the right track. No one can help you but only you  can overcome it. It seems that you tend to decide quitting if it you lose huge amount.

When we lost huge amount it is really worth to get self determination after that to quit it,better to get realize when the losing stage is just initial.

[MiguelCryptoss]

Gambling really is fun.  All things in moderation.  I don't see a problem as long as people keep it fun.  Of course, it's fun to win.   So learn some strategy and always set some limits.  Gamble responsibly

Gambler that gamble not for fun are the most addicted individual and for those gamblers who are addicted will always find it difficult to exit from the addiction.
To quit gambling addiction one will take the necessary step by taken it upon themselves to quit without coming back.

[Ellen Adarna]

Quitting in gambling is very easy as long you are willing to stop your addiction in playing gambling.

[Ellen Adarna]

Quitting in gambling is very easy as long you are willing to stop your addiction in playing gambling.

You are right. Quitting in gambling is not that really difficult as long you are willing or you really want to stop it. My question is what are the best thing for you to stop or quit playing gambling.

Gambling can give you a bad result that will make you leave or quit in gambling like bankruptcy, mental disorder, scam and etc. That is why the best thing for you to quit gambling for good is by changing your habit that will make you busy or forget about gambling like working out at the gym, playing sports, playing computer games, and bonding with your friends and family. But if you don't want to leave in gambling and you still having trouble in gambling like ended up losing all of your funds, you need to have a self control while you are playing because it will reduce your greediness in betting and for you not to get addicted too much in gambling.

[radjie]

someone can easily stop gambling if they have a strong belief not to do it again, there is a very effective way if we want to stop gambling, which is trying to find other activities that are more useful and certainly can make money, like working hard to earn money or a lot spend time by filling out other activities to socialize in the surrounding environment

[Noilee]

Quiting gambling is not easy, most of the gambler addicts failed to on these things because their mind are already corruptes by the casinos. We should not allow ourselves to go beyond on this point, quit as early as you can. Yes gambling is fun, but it can also be a reason of your loneliness and depression.

Most gamblers this are the problems how to quit, because they always think of winning. But you should know how to control yourself so that it can escape of being addicted. Gambling gives joy, but if you will already addicted it can destroy yourself.

[Reatim]

Lol there’s never been easy to quit specially for those addicted,and even if not yet gambling is very tempting and not easy to resist.not unless you are not a gambler and only learn some basic games

, there is a very effective way if we want to stop gambling, which is trying to find other activities that are more useful and certainly can make money, like working hard to earn money or a lot spend time by filling out other activities to socialize in the surrounding environment

The most useful and functional to quit gambling is to be with our family and divert our time in some activities that may take our attention

Destroy financially but as long as someone gambling they still can get fun but when they are doing it for recover their previous loss then it can be disastrous.

Only way to quit is quit it from yourself other things are just to induce the thinkig about quit from yourself.

[Rufsilf]

What about seeking professional help? I can guarantee that there are people who've tried all your suggestions, yet they're unable to quit gambling.
Some people really have no other option than go into therapy to quit their addictions, whether it's gambling, drugs or anything else.

I think it would be best to seek professional help if you really want to quit gambling instead of trying to do it on you own because there’s a tendency that you will still go back to your old habits, you got addicted for the reason that you can’t control you greed, emotions or whatever thus it would be very difficult to stop yourself by your own unlike if you ask professional help and undergo rehabilitation then you are obliged to really stop and they have activities that will help divert your attention on different things.

Giving enough enjoyment when you are still in good mind conditions but after being too engaged to the game you will lose everything and start
having problem with addictions, you need to stop when you are still in the right position, tracking your activities and always stay with right attitude
to control greediness will help you out to stay away from this activities.

[princesspoppy]

These tips are very useful, thank you. I hope I'll be able to help those people who cannot stop and quit gambling. I know lots of them.

I really do agree with the OP, that no one can change someone but himself alone. His way of thinking about things and his goals in the future will help him from quitting gambling. If he only realized that gambling is not really helpful although sometimes it is, he'll be able to pull himself together and stop this addiction to start a new life. Self-discipline is a must, not just in gambling but in all things.

By the way very informative OP, I know you'll be a good writer someday, keep it up.

Sometimes one need to feel a broken on his life in order to realize that the habit or addiction he did, didn't make his life serene. An addiction is really hard to change and need a long time to realize that many factors have been sacrificed to fulfill his desires. I won't be a someone who to awaken someone who has experienced an addiction, so he can find out for himself what he must feel and what he must do afterwards.

LOL like nicotine addition you mean? If you get addicted for anything like even business, love or gambling. Nothing will stay forever in the marketplace. So better enjoy the gambling experience never feel for the lose of money.
Maybe next day itself gambling will be a happy one for you if stop your greediness or faint because of heavy losses.

Discipline, that's all you need because even if you go to rehabilitation, if you really can't control yourself, you will go back to the old you no matter how long you've been in rehab. Discipline, strong realization and divert your attention into other things, much better if it would be a money making, a job or business. If you got successful into it, maybe you don't need to gamble since you are already making profit.

Rehab is pointless same as you said.If you don't make any self realizations about on your past mistake then you would still be pulled over and over again
which in result you will still play in the end of the road.Quiting isn't really that simple that's why you should be serious and sensible enough
to forseen on things that might possibly happen ahead if you do tend to continue further of your addiction.

[roosbit]

You know what they say about bad habits "bad habits die hard" simply interpreted as quitting isn't easy!

If it were so easy people would not be having gambling addiction problems but with the few points listed in the IP they can help in the process of quitting.

[kawetsriyanto]

What about seeking professional help?

For professional help, I think it is better to ask therapists or medical specialists for gambling cases. I am not sure to look for professional help from reading articles or people's suggestion in this forum since every individual has a different case background.

I can guarantee that there are people who've tried all your suggestions, yet they're unable to quit gambling.

OP seems just to share tips for not addicted gamblers or people who still can think realistically in playing gambling. And of course, not all people can success to quit only by reading the suggestions. They need attention from others such as their families, and OP didn't tell about it yet.

I would also suggest adding some resources, so people can look into finding professional help.

I assume it only based on OP's point of view or it is his own opinion. That's why no need for some sources.

[hahay]

They do not say easy, they have and give input to quit which of course it will not be easy to do and requires a great struggle to fight habits because of their addiction in gambling. They are aware that addiction is a habit that is difficult to eliminate, because it is therefore necessary for input to those who want to quit. I know it will not be easy and we will not be able to fully help them to stop, because what can counteract the habit of gambling addiction is themselves by changing their mindset in a more positive direction.

[Micerker]

I think these tips are really helpful, but they can't help me quit gambling in the best way. If you are a person who has a lot of free time, trying not to think about gambling is impossible, so many people will relapse and continue to gamble again. The best way to get rid of this addiction, try to fit in your free time. This makes you busy and doesn't think about it.

So what the OP suggests can be a good tip for every gambler who want to quit gambling. Although it is hard, they need to do step by step, and if it's necessary, they can ask for other people helps. Don't be shy or feels not good to tells other people about your gambling habit because that is what we need to do if we need them to help us. I am sure that if they are really concerned about us, they will help us without have too many questions about how we could get into gambling.

[samputin]

Great tips OP. I must say, #3 is my favorite. 

3.) Be faithful on what you are doing. Cheating is not an option. Dont be fooled on peer pressure or the callings of slot machine. Learn how to have self dicipline. Focus on your goal and have a blindfold if needed.

Especially the second sentence. It can be used in relationship advice too. On a more serious note, cheating must not be an option. Like ever. You're cheating on yourself, first of all. And after realizing that, there might be the feeling of regret and the thoughts of "If only..." Remember that regret is always last. Better make a move now before it's already too late.

[fortunecrypto]

Quitting is easy if you want to achieve something, but never easy if you want to stop doing what you always do and what you always wanted to do. This is what you called addiction, and we all know that its really hard to over come. Is this the end? Is there any cure? Let me help you.

1.) if you really want to quit, you should WANT it. You should be serious about it and not play around. Most people failed to change because they didnt take quitting seriously.

2.) Have a stone hard mindset. Picture yourself to the person you want to be. The old person who doesnt need that things in order to be happy. Always think about the future results you will become.


3.) Be faithful on what you are doing. Cheating is not an option. Dont be fooled on peer pressure or the callings of slot machine. Learn how to have self dicipline. Focus on your goal and have a blindfold if needed.

4.) If you already strengthen your inner self, the next steps is already easy for you. You see, yourself is the best enemy you have and we should start changing you by the way you think. Next is, have other things to do that can make you busy. Start trading or having new business. You will soon realize that the essense of the money you lost in gambling.

5.) never to try it again. People are also malleable in nature and even you didnt do it for years, once you tasted it again, you will turn back to the same addict person you want to get rid of. We have a deep caravings for it psychologically or what you called cravings by our subconscious minds that once triggered, can never be stopped.

Lastly, give me merits if this tips help you. Nah. Just kidding. I just want to write a book someday and i need some inspiration. Gambling is fun though.

Honestly, all these points will not work for a chronic gambler they will deny that they are losing and that they need help, actually, they need people around them to overcome gambling, and one professional or experts who can study his behavior type and create a customized  healing process, a gambler can read all kinds of stuff about how to stop, but after finishing he'll just forget all about it.

[cabalism13]

Now I've been waiting for feedbacks who can verify the OP's solution on quitting 😂. I'm far more interested on hearing those statements from ex-gamblers who likely visits this discussions for killing time now.

And still waiting for me to get some feedback regarding on getting a girl that can handle your money to the best that she can. Possibilities that this may not be effective are still a fact. 😛

[thiscomm]

actually the hardest challenge when going to change a bad activity is to fight the ego and lust for yourself because of addiction or being a sign addict someone can not hold back his lust.

[mitchr4]

I think these tips are really helpful, but they can't help me quit gambling in the best way.

The best way to get rid of this addiction, try to fit in your free time. This makes you busy and doesn't think about it.

What if you change your free time by looking for a useful job and activity that can keep you entertained. I think that way you can forget something about gambling. Indeed, people who are addicted will continue to think about it but if every day you do a useful activity it will give good results.

[emberbekas]

actually the hardest challenge when going to change a bad activity is to fight the ego and lust for yourself because of addiction or being a sign addict someone can not hold back his lust.

The best way to stop gambling is to leave all the gambling stuffs completely. But yes, it will be very difficult because we have to fight against ourselves to be able to achieve it. The intention to stop gambling gradually will not give the ideal results as I think!

Try something new that can allocate your time instead of gambling, you will be excited to do that new activity that you are exploring.

Just like unwinding, maybe this will the best way to work for you.

Hobbies can save us from getting addicted to bad things,hobbies often called as addicted to something good which do no harm to us.

I like pet keeping and aquarium in my free days which saved me from falling into the wrong addictions.

[DoublerHunter]

Diversifying stuff, that was most likely I have been doing when it comes thing makes worst to leave your habit earlier than to become addicted to it. OP stated has a point and it is easy to execute by your own self if you know how to handle it. Want to quit? and do it in your self and everything will be fine. Don't let that addicted stuff ruin your life.

It is very difficult to do it yourself without any help.There are people who have done it successfully but these are only a bunch of persons compared to the majority who have tried and failed to do so.When you try to quit there are some steps that you must follow and these steps are explained well in websites like Gamblers Anonymous and others sites like it.

That is one way of attacking your gambling problem. Look for other activities that might be of interest to you. Self-discipline is your one major enemy. A lot fail in that simple mantra. But yeah, it really takes a lot of hard work to accomplish your mission especially quitting from your previous way of life.

People create problems for themselves by not in control of what they do! Most people are been drived by other people ideas and that is why they are addicted to gambling. If your addiction to gambling bring you money I think it is a good addiction but if it makes you to lose money and be in debt then it is a bad one.

[creeps]

actually the hardest challenge when going to change a bad activity is to fight the ego and lust for yourself because of addiction or being a sign addict someone can not hold back his lust.

In gambling its not easy to quit when you used to play and make that as you part activities everyday, yes because of our ego who keeps us playing despite of the losses it make us more addict. If you do serious on quitting, then do everything to stopped that addiction i mean do control yourself, don’t go to casinos and ask for a help. There’s no too late of quitting, all have a good time.

[MFahad]

Quitting is easy if you want to achieve something, but never easy if you want to stop doing what you always do and what you always wanted to do. This is what you called addiction, and we all know that its really hard to over come. Is this the end? Is there any cure? Let me help you.

1.) if you really want to quit, you should WANT it. You should be serious about it and not play around. Most people failed to change because they didnt take quitting seriously.

2.) Have a stone hard mindset. Picture yourself to the person you want to be. The old person who doesnt need that things in order to be happy. Always think about the future results you will become.


3.) Be faithful on what you are doing. Cheating is not an option. Dont be fooled on peer pressure or the callings of slot machine. Learn how to have self dicipline. Focus on your goal and have a blindfold if needed.

4.) If you already strengthen your inner self, the next steps is already easy for you. You see, yourself is the best enemy you have and we should start changing you by the way you think. Next is, have other things to do that can make you busy. Start trading or having new business. You will soon realize that the essense of the money you lost in gambling.

5.) never to try it again. People are also malleable in nature and even you didnt do it for years, once you tasted it again, you will turn back to the same addict person you want to get rid of. We have a deep caravings for it psychologically or what you called cravings by our subconscious minds that once triggered, can never be stopped.

Lastly, give me merits if this tips help you. Nah. Just kidding. I just want to write a book someday and i need some inspiration. Gambling is fun though.

Great suggestions, but you know the big truth is when anyone become addicted, he has no stage to come back. Actually, i never see anyone who come back from addiction. Too many ways to save from addiction, but the addicted man don't want to come, especially in gambling.   

[AjithBtc]

Diversifying stuff, that was most likely I have been doing when it comes thing makes worst to leave your habit earlier than to become addicted to it. OP stated has a point and it is easy to execute by your own self if you know how to handle it. Want to quit? and do it in your self and everything will be fine. Don't let that addicted stuff ruin your life.

It is very difficult to do it yourself without any help.There are people who have done it successfully but these are only a bunch of persons compared to the majority who have tried and failed to do so.When you try to quit there are some steps that you must follow and these steps are explained well in websites like Gamblers Anonymous and others sites like it.

Whatever might be the steps taken, if the mind isn't ready to accept the addiction and get out of it one cannot quit. What's been said in the above quote is wrong, even when someone has got step by step process the addicted person might cooperate physically but the mind isn't cooperative. This way mind is much important to quit addiction.

[kaya11]

I think no one wants to give a damn thing about quitting, especially to the people who by the way are winners at all time, maybe the lose but the winning streak is greater than the losing one. The only I know who wants to quit are the people who have no more to bet, oh wait, they even find ways just to  bet, sometimes getting a loan etc. So it is had to quit really.

[Betwrong]

Great tips OP. I must say, #3 is my favorite. 

3.) Be faithful on what you are doing. Cheating is not an option. Dont be fooled on peer pressure or the callings of slot machine. Learn how to have self dicipline. Focus on your goal and have a blindfold if needed.

Especially the second sentence. It can be used in relationship advice too. On a more serious note, cheating must not be an option. Like ever. You're cheating on yourself, first of all. And after realizing that, there might be the feeling of regret and the thoughts of "If only..." Remember that regret is always last. Better make a move now before it's already too late.

If by "cheating" you mean gambling from time to time, I disagree. I've noticed that gamblers who aspire to stop gambling completely, although succeed in that for some time(it can be years for some), inevitably return to gambling at some point of their life and then it takes a few days for them to become as addicted as they were before stopping. That's why I think that the term "self discipline" should rather be applied to moderate gambling than to complete abstinence from it.

Very well said, I just wanted to add something "If you really want to quit gambling, entertain your self on other thing" you can do it with your family bonding, go shopping or do vacations. Entertain your self to where you are far to think about gambling. Yeah I really agree to #3 Be Faithful on what you are doing. Cheating is not an option  . Haha Nice one

actually the hardest challenge when going to change a bad activity is to fight the ego and lust for yourself because of addiction or being a sign addict someone can not hold back his lust.

Even at the point of addiction one can still be leave gambling if and only if such an individual submit to self control genuinely. I had a childhood friend who was addicted at the age of 15years, after we pass out from the school i called him for a gambling competition and i was surprise that he quit gambling after we left the school, so, it's a choice for every gambler. And if you must quit, never hold back anything.

It's very difficult to hold gambling if someone is addicted to playing. It can't be if there are people who are addicted to gambling and immediately stop, because of course all of that has a process to really stop. This is indeed a challenge that is difficult to stop if you have become addicted. Things to do might reduce little by little playing so you can stop completely in gambling.

Gambling is more accessible than ever before and it has made its way into video games.  Things like loot boxes, spins, or other random items in video games are essentially gambling.  Used to be much more difficult to become a gambling addict when you actually had to go to a casino to bet.

Good point. Gambling addiction is distributed far beyond online casinos. As you stated many video games have gambling elements now. So it's pretty difficult to completely quit gambling nowadays.

Quitting should be gradual for gambling addicts but can be sudden for non-addicts.
I guess quitting suddenly may cause depression, restlessness and other similar symptoms.
A gambling addict may also try to replacing gambling with other fun activities during the course of quitting

[jhongzjhong]

I guess quitting suddenly may cause depression, restlessness and other similar symptoms.

Probably you felt this way because no one helps you out from being a gambling addict, I mean your family should do action regarding this if they know. Because quitting is not easy for the gambling addicts, it makes a daily habit that always looking for. Rehabilitation is a good idea if someone can't quit in gambling or probably he/she need serious attention that someone to help and switch to other habit and forget that you want to quit. (overall it's a self-moderation)

[syamster]

actually the hardest challenge when going to change a bad activity is to fight the ego and lust for yourself because of addiction or being a sign addict someone can not hold back his lust.

If this addiction is about gambling then it is not bad thing because people use to gamble to earn money, and earning money is not bad at all, the more we gamble the more w e get involve, quitting is not good if you will keep gambling you will learn more and will improve your gambling skills, with passage of time you will increase earning.

Finally, I have seen a unique feedback, and that's quite amusing to see... Gambling Addiction isn't bad? Oh really, even if it does affect your lifestyle and family? I really don't think so, unless you're a multi-millionaire, but it still doesn't warrant that you wont get affected by negativities.

Earning isn't bad unless it was from a bad habit and activity tgat seems to be unethical. Gambling addiction is one, the minds that says it wasnt bad after all, re those who're simply addicted to it. And now I'm guessing you're one of it.

Quitting after getting addicted is quite the best solution to overcome the habit, and once you have it on a success, then congrats you're already controlling yourself and you can avoid getting addicted.

We must also remember that we as the gamblers are more likely to be affected mentally then by those who dont gamble
There are many unfortunate endings for people who can not control this addiction of 'problem gambling'.

Well, up to that point I find it interesting on why this gamblers can't handle their own stress and ends up taking up suicidal attempts. Just because of some loss? Is it really worth dying for?

Edit:
Just have it in mind, even if you're a billionaire and went bankcrupt, I don't think its necessary to do such thing besides, you can just start all over again.

[Botnake]

Just because of some loss? Is it really worth dying for?

No one would think of ending their life, but because they cannot handle the stress in gambling, sometimes it resulted to suicide.
It's the worst ending that would happen as gambler, that's why some people judge gambling as a bad activity that is a waste of money and time only, but I could disagree with that since I believe gambling is very entertaining if you will stay in control and have that discipline in you every time you play.

Yeah money is only money . you cant bring your money on to your grave once you died . life or health is still more important and should be prioritize so that you can live longer and you can still earn more money in the long run  . those who commite suicide are i think depressed with thier loss but if your only playing for fun and you dont mind lossing , this thing wont never happen to you  .

Quitting will be possible only when a gambler decides by heart and not just by world. Deviating our focus into something else may help for most of the gamblers but finding another new interesting thing will be a difficult one practically. This is the reason many times entering to married life or falling in love kind of things helping gamblers to quit easily.

Human mind is capable of adopting anything new but it should be attractive enough. Addicted people must need true affection and care so that they will be able to deviate their focus into something new. Help from family and friends definitely will bring changes in an addicted gambler's life.

I agree, the need to quit should come from the gamblers self because if they will not accept it by heart then all the advise and scolding will be useless. I know a lot of gamblers would say it is very hard and they can't control themselves but I think if the gambler really want to quit then he will do everything to achieve it.

No matter how hard, if the gamblers want to quit gambling, he needs to have a strong mind, and he needs to try very hard to quit. We know that to prevent us from playing gambling will be difficult, but we need to try at least, we can ask help from other people, so we don't have to feel that is too hard to quit.

Perhaps, the first thing that they need to learn is controlling their mind and themselves so they can learn to reduce their time for playing gambling. Soon, if they continue that, I am sure that they can stay away from gambling forever.

These are just advice it has no bearing at all, gamblers play with their emotion and feeling and if you tell the gamble, not to gambler they will answer back, oh really you have no business with my business, you should advise people around him what to do and not advice gambler they will just ignore.

Gradual quitting is the only option of quitting for addicted gamblers. If they quit right away their mind is preoccupied with gambling all the time, although it may look like they are preoccupied with other things. Such people break sooner or later, and their new addiction may be even more severe than the previous one. To avoid such an outcome, I always suggest to never quit, or, for people who still want to quit completely, to do it very slowly, stretching the process for two years or longer.

You will forget easier and earlier if you will focus on other things like sports or any activities that involves physical involvement and doesnt have any bets or gambling related.

Want to quit? Just do it! People are talking about quitting like its some big deal, when will you understand that quitting is possible only if person wish to quit! Some people, and there are many of them, live for gambling and for excitement that gambling offers, winning or losing, and only after losing people talk about quitting, to not get in situation to wish to quit just play with amount you can afford to lose.

It's a good way to quit gambling. You need just to concentrate on other things to forget about gambling addiction. And it's much easier to do when you have friends to spend time with them.

Only I feel that entire theory fails on this particular sentence? People who have stone hard mindset are not addicted to gambling, alcohol, drugs,  etc. It vise versa, if you have a weak mindset, under certain circumstances you try first and next you need repeat again and again some of the mentioned things.

Yes this is not as easy as said. The conflict between what your mind thinks and what your heart wants to have is full of ambiguity and you are always the victim of uncertainties. In gambling, it is important to have certain boundaries and limits and only then there could be some way to get out of the game full of lust. One should think about trading rather than getting into gambling.

About the bolded part,  the reality is that it often don't happen.  If a person is addicted to gambling, he will do everything in his power to continue playing.  "It is easier said than done".  Even if the person have strong will once he has been addicted he needs lots of support and understanding from his family.  He also needs to undergo rehabilitation.  Remember addiction  cannot be cured but it can be controlled or treated.  It is recurring if the person failed to keep it on tab.

IMO, in trading you are not in total control of our money as trades are controlled by whales while in gambling, it is you that have the key but it is also very important though that you should put limit in everything that we do. Everything in excess i think is dangerous, applicable also to gambling so be discipline when you gamble.

[Janation]

I know a lot of gamblers would say it is very hard and they can't control themselves but I think if the gambler really want to quit then he will do everything to achieve it.

That is the problem there.

These addicted gamblers are no in-denial or not accepting the fact that they are addicted, they do not know that they are addicted. What they know is that they are having fun gambling and if someone or something stops them from doing it, they will be finding ways to quench their thirst. If someone wants to quit, people should be able to make that person realize that they are already addicted and they need professional assistance. Addiction is not something you can take lightly, this is serious.

Supposedly, it should be at our control and not by whales. We have our own choice, if we don't want to risk our money then  better not to engage in gambling.

We already know since from the start of what we might get from gambling and before that,  it gives us to decide for the best of our own.  Unfortunately, some of us have never realize until it came into such a time that they fall into addiction.

I will like to take your point number one, how can they seriously quit when the urge is very strong to play than to quit, gamblers always have this one last game syndrome, where they always promised to play for the last time but ended up breaking the promise because they can't overcome the urge to gamble, there should be people around him that will help him to stop gambling.

indeed it will be difficult to leave if indeed the gambling that we do is inherent in us or can be said to be very addicted to gambling. but there are several ways that can be done to be able to leave gambling with simple things, even though this is difficult for most gambling addicts, but this proves to be effective if it continues to do, namely by filling in activities that can have a positive effect on themselves by filling in other activities or can gather with family and friends around, because gambling addiction can only be felt if someone is more often alone

One of my coworkers is a self admittingly degenerate gambler and he started to take a medication every morning with food.
He told us at lunch that the medicine not only controls his desire to gamble but also to eat 
But he does not wake up and pay poker before even brushing his teeth like he once did
I cant remember the name of this medicine but I can ask him if anyone wants to know.

This advice is for the moderate gambler only, but if you ask me about a chronic gambler, all of these are not going to work, they need professional help that will guide them step by step how to overcome addiction and this varies depends on one's addiction so it's person to person.

That is right.

Addicted gamblers are a serious disorder and it should be taken seriously by the people. There are a lot of places to go and to attend to in order to fix that addiction, you don't need to worry since that is all advised by a professional. Instead of doing it by yourself, let other people help you especially your loves ones since that would be so helpful and very effective.

[maydna]

If you are addicted in gambling then it is very difficult to quit, but not impossible. If there is a will, there is a way. You have to be very serious in your approach then you can definitely do it.

Yes, that is difficult to quit, but as long as you have a strong heart and mind and you can have a big effort to quit gambling, I am sure you can do it. Perhaps, you need help from other people so you don't feel that it is too difficult to quit gambling because they can help you to distract your mind from thinking to gamble. They will prevent you from talking about gambling, and they will ask you to do something else that will help you to forget about gambling.

I am sure that soon, your mind will have a new passion for the new thing you do with your friends and at that time, you will not think about gambling because you know that will make your life bad.

[HatakeKakashi]

Once a player are addict of playing gambling it's hard for him/her to stop gambling unless they don't have a capital to play it but sometimes they do collateral their things they have for them to play. But if you really want to stop or quitting gambling is depends on how to be hinest yourself you can help your ownself and if you really want you can do there is some techniques but not all people are effective if they use it but only trust yourself is effective way for that.

[noormcs5]

actually the hardest challenge when going to change a bad activity is to fight the ego and lust for yourself because of addiction or being a sign addict someone can not hold back his lust.

Yes this is not as easy as said. The conflict between what your mind thinks and what your heart wants to have is full of ambiguity and you are always the victim of uncertainties. In gambling, it is important to have certain boundaries and limits and only then there could be some way to get out of the game full of lust. One should think about trading rather than getting into gambling.

IMO, in trading you are not in total control of our money as trades are controlled by whales while in gambling, it is you that have the key but it is also very important though that you should put limit in everything that we do. Everything in excess i think is dangerous, applicable also to gambling so be discipline when you gamble.

How can you say that in trading everything is control of whales and not us ? Trading is far safer than gambling.
You invest in gambling and the very next second you can lose all of your money.  In trading even if you are at loss, holding the coins can make you recover the loss. Also if you are professional trader you will never be in a loss.

Don't see a logic here.  Every new trading and even holding could lead you to a bigger loss, if you've chosen  a wrong coin. Didn't you saw a coin who make initial pump and next going only down? Especially if you are playing with a leverage,  your total order could be easily wiped out.

Agreed, advices depends on ones personality. On how strong their will to stop. Some needs assistance from professionals but some can manage on their own. It's all about will, because even if you seek advice from a doctor, that won't help if you can't break addiction. It's like, what Doctor says entered into your right ear and pass into your left ear. You didn't put and stock it in your mind.

It means everything has risk, if not want to take risk maybe to quit from gambling we can do something else. I think in real life there are a lot of activity that can make us forget about gambling. In case we still discuss this topic about how to quit gambling.

[janggernaut]

I don't even understand a single thing from your post tbh.

Trading is indeed controlled by some whales, but it's only for some coin/token which got pump & dump easily.
Invest and gamble your money in gambling site are different, while you invest, you are likely will earn some profit because house will be win in the end. But while you gamble, it's 50:50 you can win a lot or lose all your money. Holding a coin / token for a long time which basically only shit token/coin will make your investment become worse

Also if you are professional trader you will never be in a loss.

No, even a professional trader can lose too

That is the reason people say that if you cannot control your emotion or do not have self discipline better to avoid gambling. Or if playing just for money better ti stay away as you can become additive to it and may lose out lot of money and health as well.

[jademaxsuy]

You are just asking for merits OP, But yes you have also the point that it is easy to quit on something but not when addiction is the problem. As we all know that in gambling addiction is the most common problem but hey this will really depend on the foundations of a certain gambler. I am saying as a gambler to where I am used to bet in an online platform has been into addiction but mu foundation tp overcome it is good for I have my friends and family for being always there in times that I need them. Thus, realizing and overcoming addiction. Somehow I still bet but I know how to control it.

[Betwrong]

We must also remember that we as the gamblers are more likely to be affected mentally then by those who dont gamble
There are many unfortunate endings for people who can not control this addiction of 'problem gambling'.

Problem gamblers at 15 times higher risk of suicide, study finds
https://www.theguardian.com/society/2019/mar/13/problem-gamblers-at-15-times-higher-risk-of-suicide-study-finds

While reading such studies we have to keep in mind that they are not always accurate regarding their conclusions. Problem gamblers have not only 15 times higher risk of suicide, but they also have higher risk of drug addiction, alcohol abuse etc. And all of that is not because they gamble, but because they are just such kind of persons, emotionally unstable, frequently stressed, constantly seeking for rushes of positive feeling, and in some cases, when they can't find any, they commit suicide. Saying that one vice leads to another is a wrong approach to this serious problem, but, unfortunately, modern psychology seems doesn't have better solutions yet.

[proTECH77]

If you are addicted in gambling then it is very difficult to quit, but not impossible. If there is a will, there is a way. You have to be very serious in your approach then you can definitely do it.

Good, many addicted individuals in gambling today are not willing to give-up their passion on gambling, and thereby making it be difficult for them to totally quit after addicted. There's always ways to exit from the world of gambling, if there's self will from the person in question. Some of my friends quit gambling long ago and it wasn't heard for their exit.

[qwertyup23]

<snip...>

Just to mention, quitting something that you are addicted to is NEVER EASY especially if it becomes part of your daily routine. Despite that, I do agree on the points you provided in order to help someone quit there addiction in general.

Everything starts in the mind. If you have the will, patience, determination, and motivation to quit your addiction then that would be the first step. Further steps would involve applying external factors (i.e. doing recreational activities, doing things that distracts you, etc.) but the internal mindset is the most difficult to perform.

I would also suggest that you also need someone to rely on if you are struggling to quit your addiction. If you have family that needs your support or someone you love who is willing to help you with your situation, let them be your primary motivation and inspiration to make this leap out of your misery.

Have the power of willingness and you can quit even you are an addicted gambler.

It won't be instant but as long as you are forcing yourself to do some other things to divert the time you are giving to gambling, you can do it. There's nothing hard if you are willing to do.

If they are addicted to it, you need to seek professional help. This forum might give tips and ways to stop or prevent someone from gambling but addiction is not that easy to stop and the best way you can help that addicted gambler is by seeking the help of a professional and that starts with the soldier accepting the fact that they are addicted to gambling and wants to stop because if they are still not conscious that they are addicted to it, that would be a hard process.

Someone has heard the saying: "There is no one who is rich because of gambling?" The saying describes gambling as a waste, even though promising victory and wealth, ultimately gambling will only bring misery. One way to quit gambling is to do positive things like doing our hobbies, with hobbies we will get pleasure as we wish.

Everyone will know it but they will use their emotional when they are playing gambling. I haven't felt when I play gambling it's just a hobby or anything else, but I'll do my best to get what I want. I had my strategy when I play gambling I brought money that I can afford to lose and I will never try to deposit again when I lose my money in the same day. So, I can manage my lose and I never fall to a huge lose that can make me crazy.

No, I don't think so. I am sure some people can get rich from gambling, but the point is they don't tell other people about their winning in the gambling. They keep silent and enjoy their money without show off what they can win. I am sure they are now having fun and spend the money on their life and their family and their friends. But yes, if you want to quit gambling, you need to have positive things to do to change your mind from thinking about gambling.

[mirakal]

No, I don't think so. I am sure some people can get rich from gambling, but the point is they don't tell other people about their winning in the gambling.

That's probably the right attitude of a successful gambler, they work their own, so they can enjoy the success solely.
People will think you are smart and a cool person if you can make a fortune in gambling as that is really hard to achieved, but these winners have discipline, so they know what is appropriate.

Some say gambling sites operators hated winners, but they cannot win it all, having most wins than loses is enough for them to be profitable.
Also, it's necessary that people can also win so gamblers would not think that the site is rig.

Further, quitting is not only for losers, but winners as well as we don't know when how long our luck will stay.

Its like drugs because its addictive and both need rehabilitation to succeed in quitting. If you severely addicted to gambling then i agree you need professional help because you cant control yourself with this methods. You need some community or equipments with the help of experts which monitors your behavior from time to time.

Mature in habits gambling it is not easy. But if you have manage and control your emotional you will be feel that gambling is good way to spend your times, you get it means of gambling. But if you heard "no one had rich in gambling" I disagge.. how about those people have hit the jackpot? xD. Everyone can to quit of gambling anytime,there is no compulsion. But in my view, gambling is good while not hurting others.

You're definitely wrong when you said many gamblers know how to quit because the spirit which involved in gambling addiction works exactly like alcohol addiction cause they usually feel that some part of them is not completed whenever they haven't gambling for the day. However, the tips mentioned by OP cant work for all gambling addictors.

5.) never to try it again.

Although you have point on some but on no. 5,
I want to ask you if you try it again to regain your loss or take your revenge but with learnings already? It is okay?
Like, you are much prepared than before or much better than before since you learnt a lesson from your past mistakes, I know even in gambling, we can learn on our mistakes sometimes.

Well, that is a good idea. But how can you learn your mistakes if you don't know where you had mistaken on gambling. Indeed, all of these will depend on your self how you discipline. Taking revenge is good but for sure it is also called chasing your losses. 2-3 times attempts of revenge will considerable but more than by that I think that is not good.

Actually, in gambling everyone can become addicted very easily, it is on ourself that we have control ourself or not. People play gambling to become rich, Everyone like to become rich so why we choose only gambling, most of the other ways are here to become rich and in the other path, we could save ourself from addiction. If this point is clear in our mind then we can't be addicted even we play gambling.

[Distinctin]

You can still quite even if you are addicted as the are many addiction remedies online for free and you can just help yourself by just used Google.

I guess that wouldn't be easy doing by yourself, the big problem here is on how an addicted person to willingly change his life.
What we can read in online is just a procedure to follow, but how can a gambler follow if he is not willing, I say, he need some help from other people around him, people who understands his situation as he cannot do it alone.

If you play that much then addictions will follow since you are more focus from what you are doing and forget to think of other things that is more important, if you can deal with yourself and you can easily point your directions to find other interesting stuff aside from gambling, chances to quit
it up and begin to look for much better opportunities will be your priorities.

My coworker was diagnosed with Pathological gambling and it prescribed medicine called Luvox to control his urges
He says he thinks its working but he still has the desire to play cards just not as regularly.
He has also gained some weight and doesnt like to be as active anymore but if hes dealing with his problems then we can only support him.

[jhonjhon]

Unfortunately, that is not as easy as we say, because we need to have a strong mind to quit from gambling and we cannot do that instantly. Besides that, I think it is better to ask other people to help us to quit gambling as we know we cannot always have a strong mind and effort to quit. Maybe we can visit the psychiatry to help us so we can practice quitting with his guide and of course, we need to try from day by day.

I agree, it is easy for us to say to quit in gambling but if we’re at their place it would be very difficult. It requires strong motivation to quit because if he doesn’t have a strong reason to quit then there’s a possibility that you will go back to gambling. I think the very best if a person is very addicted is placed them to a rehab center wherein they can be controlled and cannot do any gambling.

I think that addicted gamblers probably need relatives or friends to successfully quit gambling. Lack of good relationships is a strong factor of addiction growth. Thus, it has to be changed to overcome a gambling addiction.

It is funny to see how medicine in modern day could help you get rid of a habit that is not perfectly rational from economic point of view. There must be anesthetic components in the medications. I think this habit does not need a doctor of medication to treat it but rather a mindset that can help a lot to reduce the frequency of gambling day by day. Anyways, if he is such a terrible addict, he would have made big money by now.

If you are a gambling addict, you can do it gradually and with strong intentions and consistent with your commitment to really want to quit.
and the most important thing is that you have to get closer to God and pray that your intentions will soon be granted and do something positive and leave anything related to gambling.

[Ucy]

Quitting is easy if you want to achieve something, but never easy if you want to stop doing what you always do and what you always wanted to do. This is what you called addiction, and we all know that its really hard to over come. Is this the end? Is there any cure? Let me help you.

1.) if you really want to quit, you should WANT it. You should be serious about it and not play around. Most people failed to change because they didnt take quitting seriously.

2.) Have a stone hard mindset. Picture yourself to the person you want to be. The old person who doesnt need that things in order to be happy. Always think about the future results you will become.


3.) Be faithful on what you are doing. Cheating is not an option. Dont be fooled on peer pressure or the callings of slot machine. Learn how to have self dicipline. Focus on your goal and have a blindfold if needed.

4.) If you already strengthen your inner self, the next steps is already easy for you. You see, yourself is the best enemy you have and we should start changing you by the way you think. Next is, have other things to do that can make you busy. Start trading or having new business. You will soon realize that the essense of the money you lost in gambling.

5.) never to try it again. People are also malleable in nature and even you didnt do it for years, once you tasted it again, you will turn back to the same addict person you want to get rid of. We have a deep caravings for it psychologically or what you called cravings by our subconscious minds that once triggered, can never be stopped.

Lastly, give me merits if this tips help you. Nah. Just kidding. I just want to write a book someday and i need some inspiration. Gambling is fun though.

I will like to take your point number one, how can they seriously quit when the urge is very strong to play than to quit, gamblers always have this one last game syndrome, where they always promised to play for the last time but ended up breaking the promise because they can't overcome the urge to gamble, there should be people around him that will help him to stop gambling.

You could limit the amount of money you bring into a casino or lock most of your funds the day you plan to gamble online.  If you want to stop gambling completely you have to gradually reduce the amount of money you bring into a casino until it becomes small

After reaching some point that accelerated with the emotional reaction it becomes hard to resist gambling addiction. The rest is followed by bringing more money to the table and recover the loss due to the revenge of lost gambling funds. I doubt locking the funds will help to that kind of people in the long run.

the problem is you cant quit if you are in loose.

Thank you for this tips, others want to quit, but they don't know how or what to do, I think they can do some of your tips, but its hard if you realy have a addiction.on gambling. but there is no wrong if you try.

Actually, in gambling everyone can become addicted very easily, it is on ourself that we have control ourself or not. People play gambling to become rich, Everyone like to become rich so why we choose only gambling, most of the other ways are here to become rich and in the other path, we could save ourself from addiction. If this point is clear in our mind then we can't be addicted even we play gambling.

I think the reason is simple, don't gamble because you want to be rich, because you will try to achieve that and eventually become an addict. because I've experienced it, the goal will determine what you become in gambling, so make sure you have goals that don't force you to always win, because no one can guarantee that in gambling. yeah control is also necessary if you have that goal

the problem is you cant quit if you are in loose.

Actually, many people become addicted to gambling not because they lose, but for the opposite reason. If during a long enough period of time they are mostly in profit, they start thinking that they have invented a wining strategy and that no matter how losing streak they may encounter, they will eventually win in the end. This is the most dangerous situation when quitting is harder than ever. In some cases such people lose all they have, borrow money, and lose it too, and try to borrow again, and so on. To avoid that we should always remember that if we win, we win mostly because of luck, even in poker and sports betting, and not because of some "winning strategy".

for you yes but for the rest of us we can quit easily win or loose because we have a self control and we are a responsible gambler  . if your a gambler you must set your own goal  , small to mid term goal is okay but long term goal is hard so its not really that advisable for now . if you feel and think that you already won or loose enough thats the time to decide to quit , no more what if's  and you can comeback again tommorow or maybe next time  . rinse and reapeat the process until you gradually master to become a good gambler  . profits willl eventually come slowly but surely   .

Many players who tried to quit gambling but after few weeks or a few weeks of not playing they will go back again. But Im happy for my self because I stopped playing more than 1 year I think but I just go back to try my luck and for this time Im not addict to play all of money. Addicting is not good and you need to control yourself incase if you are addict if you try quit and that's not effective play only every other day.

[Jjewelle29]

playing gambling without limit can cause of losing a big money. that why many gamblers want to quit gambling.

[jademaxsuy]

There are other better ways in quiting of something to which one is being addicted. My simple ways is to adapta pet that I like and then focus and give my time on the pet. However, I never consider myself addicted in a gambling activity though I gamble because I have control it for I have set mt priorities in life like my family.

Besides, I learn also to accept everything that comes and go in my hand. Whatever it will be like winning or losing then accepting it would give you at peace and will let you keep your priorities and setting aside of gambling as only for fun or leisure.

[partysaurus]

Quitting is easy if you want to achieve something, but never easy if you want to stop doing what you always do and what you always wanted to do. This is what you called addiction, and we all know that its really hard to over come. Is this the end? Is there any cure? Let me help you.

1.) if you really want to quit, you should WANT it. You should be serious about it and not play around. Most people failed to change because they didnt take quitting seriously.

2.) Have a stone hard mindset. Picture yourself to the person you want to be. The old person who doesnt need that things in order to be happy. Always think about the future results you will become.


3.) Be faithful on what you are doing. Cheating is not an option. Dont be fooled on peer pressure or the callings of slot machine. Learn how to have self dicipline. Focus on your goal and have a blindfold if needed.

4.) If you already strengthen your inner self, the next steps is already easy for you. You see, yourself is the best enemy you have and we should start changing you by the way you think. Next is, have other things to do that can make you busy. Start trading or having new business. You will soon realize that the essense of the money you lost in gambling.

5.) never to try it again. People are also malleable in nature and even you didnt do it for years, once you tasted it again, you will turn back to the same addict person you want to get rid of. We have a deep caravings for it psychologically or what you called cravings by our subconscious minds that once triggered, can never be stopped.

Lastly, give me merits if this tips help you. Nah. Just kidding. I just want to write a book someday and i need some inspiration. Gambling is fun though.

good pointers , this will help alot of people that not gamble for fun any more becuse it become a addiction that ruins their life instead.

We must also remember that we as the gamblers are more likely to be affected mentally then by those who dont gamble
There are many unfortunate endings for people who can not control this addiction of 'problem gambling'.

Problem gamblers at 15 times higher risk of suicide, study finds
https://www.theguardian.com/society/2019/mar/13/problem-gamblers-at-15-times-higher-risk-of-suicide-study-finds

While reading such studies we have to keep in mind that they are not always accurate regarding their conclusions. Problem gamblers have not only 15 times higher risk of suicide, but they also have higher risk of drug addiction, alcohol abuse etc. And all of that is not because they gamble, but because they are just such kind of persons, emotionally unstable, frequently stressed, constantly seeking for rushes of positive feeling, and in some cases, when they can't find any, they commit suicide. Saying that one vice leads to another is a wrong approach to this serious problem, but, unfortunately, modern psychology seems doesn't have better solutions yet.

I've seen many studies with false premises or a logic that seems sound but is not.
In any case, I don't think anyone can deny that gambling has pushed many people to suicide and other negative behaviors, it's just that we can't accurately measure it.

In any case, it's best not to get started with gambling and/or investing at all or maybe start small so that your psychology won't go downhill in case you lose your bet.

I don't believe that study also. In many cases that a study is conducted only in a certain place which is not really an effective survey.

Quitting will be an option to us, in fact, we can easily make it if we work on it just like to be out from gambling addiction. It has their attitude and behavior change because of depression and stress coming from loses, well it seems to be normal but I don't think that we often to show it in public especially inside casino.

[BetWala]

These are great advice for quitting but it's easier said than done. Maybe you can give far more concrete steps rather than deep words and ideas to think about.

I saw a reply about professional help and that's a good and actual step.

Binge eating disorder causes a lot of suicides, but it doesn't mean we should avoid eating at all. Of course, gambling is not as essential for human life as eating, and yet hundreds of millions of people relax with it and feel better afterwards, being capable of doing their jobs better, treating their family members nicely and so on.

3-5 gamblers out of every hundred have a gambling problem, and those people should either stop gambling or get a professional help. But for over 95% of gamblers it's not a problem, but a way to relax from hard work or stressful life. Gambling is not a problem, gambling addiction is.

Even if he uses professional help, if that person doesn't want to quit gambling, then it's no use. What we need to do is we must have a willing from the deep of ourselves so we can move along and come to the professional person who can help us to solve the problem. Yes, that will not be easy as it said, but we need to realize and know about how long we risk our life to play gambling while we want to quit gambling forever.

An actual treatment that will really help those gamblers who wanted to really quit away from this activity, seeking for professional helps will enlighten and guide the person the proper step by step procedures, when a person really willing to be cure this will help to fasten the process and achieved quicker results.

Professional help can be of use if the the person is willing to follow the pieces of advice of that person. But if the gambler will not be strong-willed individual and will go back to who he was without informing his advisor, then yes, a professional individual is of totally no use to him. The change should come from within and he has strong desire to change, even without people looking after him.

[lienfaye]

You can quit if you're determine to stop of what you used to do. It will start to yourself by changing your mindset of how you treat gambling.

It wont be easy and you dont need to force yourself, just start by minimizing the time you spent and switch to other activities.

Know your limit because if you cant control yourself then nothing will happen.

So like what I said before, it will back to the gamblers itself. Without having a strong mind to quit gambling, he cannot stop his habit because he will feel difficult to leave the habit and create a new habit. The only things that he needs to do are asking for some help from the other people who can accompany him in every minute and will always remind him to not think about gambling games.

[Nellayar]

Quiting gambling is not easy, most of the gambler addicts failed to on these things because their mind are already corruptes by the casinos. We should not allow ourselves to go beyond on this point, quit as early as you can. Yes gambling is fun, but it can also be a reason of your loneliness and depression.

But we can control this one by looking for an alternative hobbies. Gambling is not only the game for leisure. We can also make things prior to gambling. If we have alternative things to do, we can control ourselves in playing online casino. They say that too much addiction is stressful. It may affect not only our mental but also health.

I guess sense of humor is not that obvious for intelligent people but anyway, i am not saying it that way. I hope i will inspire those who wanted to quit or already hopeless on how they can rid their addiction. Quitting really depends on people if they are fully willing to do it with self discipline.

I agree with you. But I also think that it's pretty hard to overcome strong addiction being alone. Someone's help will make a process much easier for an addicted person.

Yes, it is better to ask for help from other people so we can start to solve the addicting problem in ourselves. I am sure if we can be honest to them, they will give us a chance to learn how to stop the gambling habit. They will help us to find a way to cure the addicting, and they will stay beside us until we can solve the problem.

[Best Dreams]

playing gambling without limit can cause of losing a big money. that why many gamblers want to quit gambling.

Yes it is not good gamblers strategy to spend full amount at once, those who are good gamblers use to put small amount at first then gradually with the passage of time people learns to spend more money, I personally don’t spend full amount at gambling, I win then again spend more money, but never put full money at single time, this is my good luck that I never lost.

But how someone can be willing to stop an activity he/she enjoys more than doing other things? I think the only answer is caring about others' happiness. Addicted gamblers normally make people around them unhappy, and that's what should be taken into account. Even if you personally think that you can afford a life of addicted gambler, look at how people around you, people who love you and care about you, react to your lifestyle. Making someone happy is not an easy task, and if you can make several people happy just by quitting gambling, then maybe that's what you should do.

[Rufsilf]

If you want to quit, you must find an alternative way to do something for you to forget gambling. Gambling can be very addictive specially when money involves. It feels better when you win a profit but not all the time it'll give you money. As long as you're hoping for a win, you can't stop your addiction in gambling because you wanna try and try until winning the game. Just have some time with your family and do something irrelevant to your addiction so you can quit forever.

If there's a will there's always a way, finding yourself and realign your true self before addictions comes over can be done by a person who really loves to quit, in most cases overcoming addictions starts inside yourself, finding alternatives of source of fun and trying to convert your attentions to other forms of enjoyment will work only if you are really willing to take everything in your hands.

Indeed, if a person really wanted to quit gambling then he can find a way to look for ways to forget it or look for something else that he can get his attention into, it might not be easy but if that addicted gambler has the will to quit then he can do it.

But you cannot tell that easily to the addicted in gambling,yeah we can say that normally but not with the people who’s afford to starve but can not afford not to gamble

I know that world iso unfair for gamblers but this is their choice and no one pushes them to do so,instead they decided what worst they can have than finding more appropriate way to enjoy life

[robelneo]

You can say these to a habitual gambler but it will just fall in a deaf ear, words will not keep them from staying away from gambling, but an introduction of other stimuli can, Gamblers gamble emotionally, you cannot reason with them, you must show another replacement or a cure to their symptoms, just words are not enough.

[SaidNurs]

Indeed, these points will be easy for people who really want to stop gambling, but for gamblers who are already addicted it will be more difficult to stop like it is ingrained. all depends on each one of them. Among other things, you have to look for activities to gain another sense of complacency

[bitzizzix]

All opinions and input are correct, but it all depends on your sincerity and very strong intention to stop completely.
the most important thing is that you have to get closer to God and pray, you can also divert when you really want to play gambling by doing positive things and keeping away that will trigger the feeling you want to play gambling and do everything in total.
