What would make you stop gambling?

[qwertyup23]

With deep emotional reason can help you to stop gambling, there should be a strong reason about why you want to stop gambling but it is not easy to achieve specially if you stuck in addiction. Proper counseling can help you to stop gambling but commitment is still rewuured because you will never quit without it. I became addicted also in gambling but I overcome that challenge in my life because I have commitment to stop that kind of addiction.

Curing addiction is not an overnight process as it requires tremendous effort on both your family and to yourself as well. Everything stems from the mind of a person who is willing and determined to change his habits and get past the phase of your toxic environment.

I know some of my friends who were hardcore gamblers but they soon stopped once they realized that they had obligations to meet. Most of them were fathers who their family rely on and some were just normal individuals like us. What I am saying is that, if we are really determined to meet our goals, then we need to work hard for it.

The second point of finding a passion would be most effective. Majority of us who gamble do it only many a times to escape reality, to escape that boring shitty same life. I mean, if I was Elon Musk, I wouldn't need to resort to gambling to escape my reality because my reality would be too good so yeah, that's what I think of it.

Minimizing the time you spend on playing gambling is one of the steps on stopping and reducing the addictiveness on gambling, I was once a gambling addict and decided to reduce my activity on the gambling scene, Redirecting your focus to other things greatly help you, It works fine on me. T

Yes, but at some point, it is not effective to everybody. Gambling addiction is like having a cancerous disease in my analogy or explanation, because it has different levels, let's say the max level would be at level 4. Let's give a scenario for some explanations about this, let's say that there is a guy who is so addicted in gambling (level 4) and he tried to minimize his gambling habit for a week, what would be the result, well, the more addicted you are, then you minimizes it, the more thirsty you will become to gamble even more, so it is not helpful at all.

Maybe it will work to those people who are not yet on the peak of the addiction in gambling, let's say level 1-2, 3-4 needs rehabilitation to be saved and some proper medication.

after reading so many pages,  ..then look up to myself, that gambling is like the game but involving money within it. So when i ask my pal about this question too. He said no one can stop u gambling till u said enough, which means only yourself know how to stop it. Nobody else...
Seriously gambling is an addict, once u try it and u never be the same..lol..but it's true...

are there any things in life that would make you stop gambling?

the two things that come to my mind are:
- making enough or a lot of money.
- finding a passion (even relationshiprelated or life/activity related) that changes your priorities.

but can you see other things than that?

I think the latter will make me stop gambling money will not stop you from gambling in fact it will encourage you the more, but if you have a much-needed priority that you need to address asap then it will make you stop gambling but only from definite period of time and not permanently unless you resolve strongly that you will not gamble again.

Well, I can't see what will make me stop or quit gambling because, gambling for me is just for fun, not for financial gains. Am from a family that so much cherished gambling and we'all love doing it as fun. I started with poker game from my elder brother, back in those days, I got yo know how to gamble with financial priorities exclusive. Although, am not addicted to gambling but just love gamble.

I think this is the only possible way for someone to lose interest in gambling. Some people doesn't gamble because they simply do not have any interest in it. The amount of money someone has doesn't really matter when he/she already has a gambler's mindset or has been involved/addicted in gambling. Some might slow down due to lack of funds but the urge to gamble is still there.

Exactly! Maybe the gambler will be lacking of money but still if they are interested on it he will find ways to be engage on it again. Sad part is that if he become a gambling addict to the point that he can hurt others to play. As gamblers, we should be resonsible and we should keep in mind that we are doing it for fun and not to the extreme that we intend to do illegal things or harm someone.

I stopped playing gambling but I realize I don't need that because all I need is to play gambling twice or thrice a week not all the day of  the whole week.

If Im lucky enough to win a big money in gambling I'm happy for that but for stopping me I think it's very far from now because I want to play and to win and no exact money to satisfy me the important is that I enjoying playing and earning money just like the other gamblers . About in passion I have a lot of things to do or activity but gambling sometimes gives me relaxation.

But you still uncotrolled playing gambling better to find a way to force you to stop gambling because it can destroy your life if you addict gambler.

In my own personal opinion, the thing that would make me to stop gambling is when i started to became satisfied from what i have today because i don't need to play gambling anymore and trying to earn huge amount of money from it, if i am already rich and contented with my life.

Actually in my case I have been there before in which I have been stop my gambling addiction just because I entered on a serious relationship and this is kind of serious topic in which my girlfriend tend me to stop gambling so even it is so hard to stop on playing and gambling I need to stop it in any matter although it is so hard for me because it is already my passion and just because I love this girl I have been able to stop it no matter what happens. That would probably one of my biggest decision on how I have been able to stop and overcome my gambling addiction.

I don't think that this gonna work. There will come a time that such money in your hands wouldn't be enough, imo. May be our time allotment in some activities would increase up since, gaining income in gambling isn't a top priority anymore. Well, may be in some cases though but I don't think that this gonna work to everybody.

- finding a passion (even relationshiprelated or life/activity related) that changes your priorities.

IMO, we cannot change what we are, but we can change how we do things. So we can do some shift of activities in our leisure time to divert our attention out rather than spending much time in gambling. Hence, finding passion is a solid foundation we could offer to ourselves that would quite cover up our desires to go back into gambling space.

Yes gambling makes people rich or having much money but at the same time it will be a source of fun when you know how to make friends with co-gamblers

Doesn't make sense to be honest because gambling never makes people rich first of all unless you are talking about casino owners because I cannot imagine anyone apart from casino stake holders earning from that casino/gambling website. Secondly you said we make friends in gambling, look let me tell you facts - Gamblers have the least number of friends in my honest view and those whom we call friends online in gambling are none but somehow we relate them with our profits.

not unless I find myself that I fall into addiction in gambling

I really hope you are not addicted but most of the people who are into addiction for gambling never realize that and only feel it once they have lost too much to be realistic.

Its really hard for you to stop gambling because it is running in your blood already.

Your family is gambling and you got what they are doing too but its just good that you can control yourself. You know that gambling is just for fun for you. Just don't spend too much on it. If you are having fun in gambling then as long as you have enough money then go and gamble with moderation .

Today one of the best things to do when you have a leisure or free time is to play gambling today many people went into a gambling house or casino just to satisfy their desires to play and also the developer make a website and application that the people do not need to go outside their houses just to play games and most of them are now playing everywhere just if they have free time. Many people have a lot of reasons why do they make gambling some of them are just looking for fun, but most of the time there are people who want to play because they want to earn extra money with the help of the gambling. In playing gambling it tests the luck and skills of the person because sometimes there is a chance you will win a game or lose it, still even they lose a lot of money they still want to play. After all, there is an unexplained reason behind it that can't stop to play. Playing gambling can make you happy and earn a lot of money but it does not help to your self, money, and family better to stop for a while and think first which is more important to you right now

The thing that will make me stop gambling is if i'm losing straight and the amount I allotted for gambling is zero. Gambling can be a dangerous game thus I made sure I only spend the amount I can afford to lose and as much as possible I'll control myself to not go beyond it to avoid addiction.

Well, that doesn't stop most people gambling at all. Most people simply refill their balance and continue, so I doubt you would be any different in that case.

So realistically, that's not going to stop anybody once they're bored and want to continue playing.

I think only a dramatic loss would do that, but that doesn't happen to that many people—only idiots that wager large amounts with low win odds.

If you see gambling as entertainment and progress in this way, I am sure you will not need to stop gambling. One should not see this place as having to win in order to live. If we do this, we can stay in a very healthy gambling.

[iv4n]

Only one thing, zero balance without money for re-buy, to be completely broke! But I hope that will never happen to me! Only some big, terrible tragedy can ruin me financially, other than that I fell myself pretty safe, I don't spend too much, I know my limits, I have regular income and some saving, so for now I am fine, I don't plan to stop gamble!

One cannot make enough money to stop making more,  it is about personal decision and discipline, crazy gamblers will make money outside gambling and still gamble with it.
Relationship can actually change one,as in bring one out of the gambling by influence, so also passion can drift one out of it.thats if the passion is not what one gamble around. I don't actually gamble so I don't think of stopping.

Greediness if being controlled will allow you to stop after winning huge amount of money, while having good alternatives such as healthy relationship of activities that can divert your attentions also is a good way to stop. Most of the time it's your own will that will let you go and quit away from this business, gambling is entertaining but if you lose control it will harm you so best to think of other sources of entertainment to move you in stopping your gambling interest.
