[bering]

In my places i know someone who already being an addicted gambling and he was sell all of his wealth from motorcycle until his house until have nothing but he can able to over come his addiction because of family helped and good environments so i think this way can be tried to those who addicted gambling that do not be shy to asking help to the people especially your family if your addiction want to be healed

He may realize that, in my case I did, that is why I agreed on going to therapies, I promise to be in the house after my job and be with my wife's side at weekends. It is tough, I cried every night regretting those money wasted in my addiction. Though, I have my wife comforting me, she helped me a lot.

You should think yourself to be small because you cried. You cried because you are human and because you care for your family. It is important to realize what is important your family or your endless desire to make money? Just remember that during our lives the first one is always more important and what makes a human happy even if their total income is small.

With gambling going out of control one should think of their family and decide twice whether they should gamble or save up the money.

Think of how much bad they would feel if you lost money and would not be able to feed them. It takes time but gradually you gain control over your mind and body.

Honestly, best case would probably be to have people that count on you and thinking about what you are doing to them. Professional help will take you so far but if you have absolutely nothing that ties you down to this world you may go back to gambling in the end.

I found being married humbled me down a lot and I learned what humility is, that is why now I either do not gamble at all some times when finance doesn't permit, or even if I have enough money I only gamble within my limits, all thanks to my responsibility towards my wife and not spending the money I could spend on her. You can do stuff for your house and your lives together with that money instead of gambling, considering "house always wins", why wouldn't that house should be mine and my wives by way of not gambling at all.

I could say I was also a gambling addict, from using money from my work salary, borrowing money, I also had to sell some gadgets, laptops, and other stuff. But now I can overcome that by controlling my emotions and no longer borrowing money and selling things to play gambling. Also, reduce my gambling activities.

Well, it is really hard. My family suffered enough, and they are the reason I stopped my addiction. I did not complete my sessions, though I can control myself in gambling. I still gamble to be honest but I know now when to stop. My priority is my family, my wife that took care of me and will take care of me in the future.

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?

Agree it's easy to say but it's hard to overcome addiction in gambling. I don't know if there's someone who can overcome gambling addiction on their own. But this is my own version on how to control myself. When I lose the bitcoin deposited in my account, I'll stop betting and control myself not to deposit again.

I just quit smoking, and after that i found out that in the similar fashion, it's easier for me to control other things too. Like in gambling, i am putting high restrictions to myself in what i can do and what i can't. It feels like i am in control again in everything. All it took was i had to take a control back on something i thought was really hard. Now i want to take a control back on my other addictions as well.

Agree, I think gambling addiction could easily be stopped if you restrict your self and discipline your self. Sometimes we are just letting our self in it that's why we continue to be addicted in gambling but if you made a complete decision I think you could easily stop it. A lot of people will say that it's not easy because it is an addiction but I think you just need to surrender it.

Yeah, I think as you get more mature as an adult you are starting to think about the future and become responsible for your family with that you could easily stop your habit or addiction to gambling.

In my places i know someone who already being an addicted gambling and he was sell all of his wealth from motorcycle until his house until have nothing but he can able to over come his addiction because of family helped and good environments so i think this way can be tried to those who addicted gambling that do not be shy to asking help to the people especially your family if your addiction want to be healed

It's been a lot like that in my area there is also someone who is addicted to gambling to spend everything and sell some of the assets of people without him knowing it, can be called gambling is very cruel if it is already addicted because they will do whatever it takes so that he gets money to gamble.

A progress is still a progress, I salute you for lessening your addiction in gambling, you might overcome it totally if you will continue to dedicate yourself in quitting gambling, instead of still playing gambling, though you reduce your activities on it, as you said, try something that is not like gambling at all, because there is still a chance that your addiction would come back at you running fast if you build up too much confidence in gambling by winning big on it.

Why not try to travel with your friends, family, or even yourself, go out of town and disconnect to the gambling world for a bit, maybe you'll realized something.

[Visbay]

I have overcome my gambling addiction with the help of my family, me alone, I would not successfully solve my problem as I was already taken controlled by my emotion and my brain is not functioning well.

If we are gambling and we usually break our pre game rules like "never chase bets" or "don't deposit when you lose your bankroll",, it's a sign that we have a problem and that might put us in big trouble in the long run.

Good to see that our Family is helpful in stopping something which is Hagel for us so to avoid addiction I use to spend time with my friends and I play with kids that bring me happiness and gamble only when I want to make money with it otherwise I avoid going casino and don’t want to be addicted in gambling as I saw so many people being poor because of this addiction.

Yeah right, there's people who will do everything just to please this kind of vice to the point that they've willing to do bad things or illegal things
to keep ongoing and play. Overcoming this kind of mentalities already need to have some help from families and friends or if possible with expert
to this field.

[Faxmate]

it all depends on the level of addiction. Are they too bad? maybe it's true that they have to go to a therapist because it has entered their subconscious mind and has to change mindset to stop gambling. and this is the most important thing, find out what triggers made him gamble? and try to overcome it without gambling.

That is the thing.

After knowing what triggers them to gamble, it will always be the same after that, they still needed someone to be there with them. They should be able to have an alternative way to kill time and gambling should be out of those choices. The time that he feels alone, that time that he feels free and can do anything even in a slight time, their mind will go back to gambling again.

not only killing time mate but also Buddy's that can be with them for those time they are struggling to win over gambling because this is not that easy as we say,because the eagerness to play and bet is always there and we alone cannot win this,but with people who can be with us and divert our mind into good things aside from winning money(or losing much better to say)i have known some people that forget addiction because of their family who does not leave them in times of trouble and always guides them towards reality that in gambling there is always one winner and that is the house.

Another thing is the willingness of the gambler himself.

We can't force a gambler to just stop his addiction, he needs to admit that he himself is addicted to gambling. Without him knowing, he will not be eager to fix his problem. He should know his problem so he can also push himself to be better.

Right in gambling we can not force anyone to gamble or to stop gambling because they might consider as hater or jealous person so keep trying to convince a gambler not to be addicted but it’s totally in gamblers own hands that’s why we should gamble in free time only and when realise we are getting addicted try to stop it and spend time with your family.

I'm also like to play in gambling because I cold easily a good amount of money for most of the time that I play in a lot of gambling websites. But it was just my pass time for most of the time no one influence me to play this I just play gambling because I want to earn a profit. But selling all your wealth just to gamble it is already a thing for addicted gamblers. They all wanted to change and undo their addiction but they just always getting carried by their emotions. You could always focus on other thing if you have other responsibility or priority this gambling addiction could easily be forgotten slowly and by practices step by step.

I guess that is happening in many countries too. Many people don't know how to overcome gambling addiction until they can find someone that they can share their experience in gambling. They can ask help from other people to solve their problems while they can learn about controlling themselves in gambling. But selling everything to just playing gambling is not solve the problem, but it will add more problems to that person, so in this case, you need to have control for yourself.

We cannot we can only ask for help, there's always a denial stage, but once you realized that you are very much hooked on gambling, you have to do something on this, or you will be in a quicksand until everything is late, your family is your biggest foundation, they should be the one to help you out on this.

in my opinion maybe the key is about loved ones, usually people will do anything for the people they love. they can give advice to stop gambling, I'm sure this method will work.

Or sometimes somebody needs a situation that will finally change his mindset towards gambling, and most of the time it is the worst situation in his life. It is him alone that can change his path and truly change for the better. If you are a gambling addict that wanted to change your life, I guess professional help is one of the best options to look at. And also, contemplate on the real reason why you are having that kind of life, address the root cause of it and understand yourself. Admit that you have a problem and needs help in changing your lifestyle.

personally I have never met an addicted person like you tell it (your uncle). all I know is that my friend is addicted to gambling and he just forgets to take time for family and often gets angry when he loses but my friend can still be told and can control emotions in other words the type of addiction is different from your uncle.
I myself also feel addicted to gambling but I never think about selling goods or debt, everything is still under control.
if the addiction can not be stopped, then the way I overcome it is by proposing rehabilitation to a psychologist.

[robelneo]

I'm a moderate gambler, I have not experienced any issue on how I gamble, I can only recommend a psychologist who specialize in human behavior to address the issue of excessive gambling, gambling addiction is mental disorder must be healed because it can ruin a man's life and that includes his family, it can lead to suicide if it is treated the earliest possible time.
