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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
