Overcoming addiction is a major problem in many people, there are now gamblers who suffer huge losses and still addicted in gambling. We can only overcome gambling if our focus and goal is clear. What do I mean clear? We should identify what we want after all. If we are seeking profit then gambling is should not be only our option bacause there are a lot of options like trading of cryptocurrencies.

From your stories, it seems, your uncle has addicted to gambling. He cannot control himself and sell his house to satisfy his gambling pleasures. That won't be good for every people, and you already see how dangerous gambling if you become addicted. If your mind were losing control without you being able to overcome the gambling, you would not get anything from gambling, and even you will lose everything like your uncle.

In my opinion, to overcome the addiction to gambling, we need always to control ourselves. No matter if you win or lose, you need to stop what you did in gambling, close the tab in your browser, leave your computer, and do another thing. You need to talk with other people and let them help you to cure the addiction. But the medicine won't help you if you don't have an effort to rise from your addicting because you should act responsibly from the addicting.

They indeed suffer bigger loss, but if what's in their mind why they became more addicted and slave of gambling was due to desires to recover up their capital. When there's a lucky times of winning, it won't be fulfilled because they kept on thinking for an expectation to bet for possible lucky gains.
The scenario always becomes a redundant matter, that's why a gambler is more drowned into addiction and difficult to quit from gambling.

I am not certain if this is effective to other but it seems working totally fine in me. When I feel that I am turning into a mess I used to switch phase by reading a book. Well it was my hobby first, and it sounds weird though anyway I love reading books that is why I try to do my hobby to overcome such potential addiction. I am not saying that they need to read books as well, what I mean to say is that they might be needing to switch phase to where they find things enjoying such as their hobby or whatever it is.

There's a story that my mom told me, it's about my uncle who once became a gambling addict that there comes a time where he sold most of their things in their house just to find money to gamble. The worst thing that my uncle did is to pledge their house just to satisfy his gambling pleasures.

I know it's not easy to overcome this situation especially when you're already in your point that you want to get back everything that you have lost. You keep on gambling thinking you can earn everything back. Actually, we're already lucky enough if we continuously win the game but even our luck has its own limitations. Without noticing it, our wins are slowly turning into losses.

I also know that some of us here will just put their attention on different things to avoid too much gambling. But in reality, it's just easy to say but harder to do. There's no easy way if you really got attached to gambling. But in your opinion or personal experiences, how do you overcome your addiction to gambling?

Your uncle is on a very worst situation he will need to be rehabilitated and be guided by a professional, he will self destruct and lose his mind if no professional help, it depends on the level that we have if the situation is like your uncle that is alarming already and should be dealt accordingly, I'm glad I have not reached to that level and will do everything not to reach on that level.

It is next to impossible to overcome your addiction alone. Depending on the degree of your addiction, your family, friends, other hobbies and activities could save you away from that. But if it is an addiction to a worse degree, you really need to get the services of professionals. Professional rehabilitation procedures must be done.

It is true that it is easier said than done. Gambling is a habit hard to break. No one can help you but yourself, your drive to slowly move away from gambling. It might take time, but try to find other habits that would keep your mind away from gambling. People won't stop gambling not unless they are broke and realize they have lost everything. Discipline your self before it is too late.

[Shinpako09]

For someone to quit completely in gambling. It needs a strong dedication but in your uncle's situation, he needs a help of professional. It's in the worst scenario where in he ain't thinking right and just doing anything just to fulfill his gambling habit. That kind of addiction is in another level and cannot fix all by himself or advice from family and friends. You cannot simply divert his attention into other habit without seeking a professional. Upon consultation, I believe he needs a continous moral support so he won't think of coming back to gambling again because if not, most probably, he will go back to his habit.

Not sure if broken people doesn't or will never continue gambling if they have lost what luxury they have before they got broke. I have witnessed a lot of average class people gambles more than those who are above them in terms of social stratification. Even those who strives to meet their needs in a daily basis find ways to gamble.
Self discipline is the main quality to completely eradicate the excessive gambling habits not the number of monetary possession.

I feel to control your gambling addiction, you need to know the reason of why do you even gamble. Is it for making money or just for personal enjoyment. If its for personal enjoyment , maybe change your circle of friends or find a hobbie to pursue. If it is for earning easy money, then there are now many ways to earn passive income..msyne pursue a hobbie which can earn for you in future.

Not most of the time because to those people who do have much more money compared to those who are on average or poor levels would really have that capability to play since they do have access on all things that they like.They have lots of money then they wouldn't care that much on how much they would use on each roll - in short theres no hesitance on spending it all unlike to those poorer were they do try as much as they can to minimize loses since they do know that they have lesser capital.

if the gambler told that he/she do it for fun and not to earn or to recover her/his losses an alternative is to download casino games and play using game tokens for free.

Agree.
Anyone who plays only for fun could just play the free versions of what they are addicted to. They could play with peers and win and lose points instead of money. I guess this will give them the thrill of betting and losing with real money

In most cases people who start as fun move forward considering gambling as a way of earning. Until it is considered as fun gambling is addiction free. If there happens a transition from fun to an earning source it is quite hard to get out of gambling further. If there happens win, then it leads to greed and if lost the person goes back for recovering the losses.

Before we decide overcoming gambling, it should be done in a step by step method. You can't do it quickly as you desire to, you might be deprived by your daily activity or that stress reliever of yours could be a struggle as you cut off instantly.

Doing it into minimal activity with an optimum time, and by adjusting your playing time along with the amount of funds. Gambling won't be easy if you first cut the funds that you usually bet for a betting game that you prefer. Seldom playing or reducing the days that you got involved with this habitual activities.

Playing gambling is not easy to stop like if a player really addicted playing games and for the player who tried to stop never do that but they need to control their selves when they want to play and how much they need to spend and when anf how much money they need to win so they will withdraw the money. Player addicted playing can do all do have money such as selling what they have but for the one time big time player who bet big for sure the things they sell is the property which is not actually good and once you lose you did not recover it.

I think that if you really want to overcome addiction first you need to acknowledge that you are addicted and ask for professional help as a first step.If you happen to rehabilitate yourself when you come out and start new make sure you limit your payment methods and exclude yourself from all the gambling sites.

I know easier to say and extremely hard to do but this is the only option.

sad but true that someone not only selling all his living just to gamble because some sells their soul for gambling and end up suicidal because of this

this is why many gamblers sucks their life because of chasing losses,instead of stopping for a while and try next time?what they do is bet and bet more ,even borrowing money from others or taking a loan just to catch the losses and in the end?going home empty handed and drown from loans.

I also know that some of us here will just put their attention on different things to avoid too much gambling. But in reality, it's just easy to say but harder to do.

if you will ask for personal experiences?then for sure you will get small amount of reply because only FEW HERE will accept that they are addicted or former addict.

[Ridwan Fauzi]

I will gamble when I have money that can afford to lose and I didn't expected that I have to get my money back. That is one thing to avoid us to became gambling addict. Other thing, you should be aware that gambling is not a place to gain much money or even to be place as side your income.

Because you will be expected the money that you spend must be revert again, if you do that then I will bet although you spend a lot of time to play gambling you won't became a gambling addict. So, it is depend your intention, you have to choose when you start to know gambling and you have to accept everything with its consequences.

It is difficult to overcome gambling, especially if we are involved too deep in gambling. There is no other way for us to overcome gambling without asking for help from other people because we cannot do that alone. So far, I can handle myself, and I am glad that I can overcome the addiction because I don't gamble for a long time and I don't use big money like other people.

I feel that when I gamble, I only want to feel to gamble and never think about anything else because I realize that gambling is just for fun. If you're going to overcome the addiction, you need to have the power inside yourself so that you can handle yourself without a problem.
