Leave gambling, if it destroys you.

[BlackFor3st]

Sorry in advance whether this topic has been created or not.
I often see topics related to stop gambling.

Arise in my mind, everyone is easy to say stop gambling but doing it is very difficult.
So I have the urge that every individual can stop gambling by having the six elements that I give below.

Thought:
Many gambling addicts think to stop, but emotional problems that encourage individuals to have more money when winning in gambling games, the biggest impact is the opposite that gets is defeat, not to mention the impact on the family when problems arise: "I want to stop gambling". Out of the mouth.

All that is based on the mind, no, sincerely to stop gambling.

There are things you need to remember to stop gambling, not based on money, money is just greed: again, again and again.

To stop gambling there are some addicts to do.

1. Intention: the main capital intention in determining individuals to stop gambling, if someone has a strong determination to stop it will have the percentage of someone actually quitting gambling.
2. Individual mindset: this is very heavy, most difficult for many heavy addicts to do.
The mindset of individuals used to associate with gambling gangs, the mafia, now change the mindset and associate with wise, good, and respectable people, little by little addicts will wake up and the days are full of good deeds.
3. Family: in this case it is prioritized, first the family in the number position......now the family is made number 1 more time with family.
4. Hobbies: this also supports to stop playing gambling, used to be a hobby of balls, horse racing or elements that easily fall prey to gambling, now switch hobbies that do not blend gambling, such as reading, hard work, etc.
5. Debt: if the habit of debt, for now stop, accept it as is, do not look too much up, multiply look down, which needs to be remembered, above the sky there is still sky, below the ground there is still land, thankful.
6. Positive: positive thinking can also encourage someone to be more confident, first thinking evil now thinking positive patterns.

If you do the above I believe that anyone can get rid of the habit of gambling.
The important thing to do something that must be a commitment in determining success.

For me gambling is fun.

Gambling is a form of entertainment that requires money to be part of it and once someone is bored this is on of the best choices that they can pick.

In gambling, time will just pass by and your boredom will fade instantly. But if time will come that gambling will destroy you then  it is the best time to stop or leave gambling. Though it is not easy if you got addicted already but the best way to do it is to find an alternatives that will entertain you to ease your boredom.

The ideal situation would be to leave gambling before it destroys you. This is easier said than done, especially when one gets obsessed with it. Many gamblers, especially the sport lovers take gambling as fun.
Approaching it as an investment in which you can win or lose and also analysing the risk and reward factor would allow you make better decisions in regards to your gambling lifestyle.

[maxreish]

I couldn't disagree with all of the stated six elements above. But in reality, it is easier said than done.
If gambling is unhealthy anymore in your life, why continue to gamble? It's because we are fighting against our psychological urge. Some part of the brain telling that we should stop, but the other side said go on. It's a conflict between your addiction and your goal to stop.

I, myself wanted to stop gambling when I have realized some things that are inappropriate already arising within me,

• When you wanted to deposit more, temptation to get some funds from your own salary, etc. -then think twice, it isnt healthy anymore.
  
• When your world is evolving just around the gambling world 24/7 try to give space to yourself, step back and reminisce the good life before you met gambling.
  
  Remember, there are so many reasons for us to leave gambling if we want to.

Unfortunately no gambler gets chances to realize that gambling is destroying their life. This is the reason they never think about leaving gambling before they will be completely getting destroyed by gambling. At the same time leaving gambling after getting into it for considerably long duration, not an easy task. Because, in between time gamblers getting addicted to gambling and after become an addicted gambler hence they never think about leaving gambling even they will be thinking about leaving it, they are unable to quit it as leaving gambling become highly frustrating one for them.

We should never approach gambling as an investment because gambling is for entertainment alone hence analyzing win or loss will not be having any significant differences but leaving it as early as possible will be the better thing we can do.

Yes! If gambling tend to destroy you as a gambler you should quit gambling before it destroy you. Many have been destroyed due to their addition to gambling and most of these gamblers died by committing suicide which wasn't a solution. Self control was want they needed to avert their addition to gambling. One of my gambling rule is that, enable self control defense mechanism and emotions and things work perfectly for me. You Could try this today.

[xvids]

You should distance yourself from everything that is destroying you not only gambling but also other things or even person.
We should know how to quit specially if it does affect us in negative ways and it could destroy our future.
Sometimes even if it is fun we should know how to say no and leave, To be honest the earliest that you felt that way you should already leave,
Because the longer you stay the harder it is to go away or leave not just in gambling but also in other addiction or anything that affects our personality.

Number two is quite interesting. Guess you are trying to suggest that gambling addict got their habits from gangsters or mafia. Well, that probably depends on the kind of gambling. And gangsters videos are probably where they mostly learn the habit from. I don't think this is totally the case though. I tend to believe that people who gamble regularly without being profitable are gambling addicts.  "Enjoying" gambling (without being profitable) can lead to addiction or can be considered an addiction. .

[FlamingFingers]

If gambling for fun turned into addiction,  stopping it is the best decision to take,  gambling breed greeds, and we all know that greed is why most of gamblers keep going back to gamble no matter how many times that they have been caution not to go back to gambling

Despite the fact that majority of gamblers knows that the probability of winning is so low,  a gambler keeps on gambling because he or she feels will win more,  especially when they heard someone else won a jackpot

[Ailmand]

Most gambling addicts are not having fun in gambling anymore they are gambling out of the urge of winning. I know how it feels when you know your self you need to stop something that is not doing anything good for you but you are not emotionally ready for it. Your mind is telling you that you need to stop, however, you cannot stop doing it because of addiction. Almost any kind of addiction is hard to break. It takes a lot of conviction, courage and of course hour intent to really keep your self out of something you are addicted to. No one else can really help you, but your self and your willingness to really put a stop to your addiction.

4. Hobbies: this also supports to stop playing gambling, used to be a hobby of balls, horse racing or elements that easily fall prey to gambling, now switch hobbies that do not blend gambling, such as reading, hard work, etc.

But hard work is not a hobby, is it? And since it's definitely not, we have a problem here. No one can be hardworking all the time. We need something to relax, call it a hobby, if you want, to do our job more effectively afterwards. Some prefer to paint flowers or write poems, others relax with metal detecting, and for some it's gambling. I agree that one can be switching between hobbies, but switching between hard works is physically(and mentally) impossible.

gambling cannot Destroy us if we will not allow this to happen.

we are the Pilot of our own life so if there are one who can prevent this to happen is no one but our self.

the risk of losing is more than winning but if we will just treat this as funny thing then nothing to lose but we will win happiness .

You will if you do responsible gambling.

just like drinking liquor, it will not harm you if you drink responsibly, let's just say that all these things are done for entertainment purpose so we have to achieve the purpose in gambling.

The problem is that not all gamblers can stop gambling if they use gambling for fun to turn into an addiction. Many gamblers will still play gambling, although they know they slowly become addicted to gambling. That will grow bigger if they win for many rounds, and that can make their greed bigger too.

And if they chase the jackpot, that will waste their time and money because to win the jackpot will not be easy, and they need to have big luck to get the jackpot.

[Clark05]

Gamblers who already addicted who wants to stop playing for sure they need a process to do before they finally stop it.
Many gamblers too destroy their lives because of being addicted and the who try become failed but the other try to stop are successful to do that.

Addcited players their mind was already set like they want to earn money but it is opposite or they lose a lot and most of the rppt of that is being greedy to money.

If something is destroying you, you should leave it. This is not just about gambling, it's about our lives. Gambling, like everything else, has its pros and cons, if you are not careful you can lose all the money you have! If you are reckless you will borrow money for gambling and that will lead you into bigger problems.
Without risk, you can't win in gambling! You should know how much you can risk losing in the first place before you start with gambling. When I gamble I know how much I can lose, I can go a little over that amount but I never risk all I have, keep control over your funds and emotions and gambling will be a positive experience for you.

[YOSHIE]

But hard work is not a hobby, is it? And since it's definitely not, we have a problem here.

You are wrong, in warding off the bug...

I mean "HOBBY" and "HARD WORK".
Not the opposite of hobbies / hard work, hard work / hobbies, that's not it...

The real meaning, if you used to be a hobby ball, boxer, horse racing, and so on, if you stop playing gambling, it's good you are not too active in your past hobby, where there is a match you must be present, it all can attract you again in gambling because in your past hobby there is an element of gambling.

So, you turn to choose a simple life as it is "without gambling" with your family, of course if you stop gambling, the demand is "hard work" to meet the needs of your family.

That's the true meaning and understanding.

if you don't "work hard" your body will die because without the food you produce...

Exactly that. Gambling is just one of those things that can be abused, and eventually cause a detriment to your quality of life.

It's even possible to get addicted to positive things, like sex, power and health, which can cause detriments elsewhere when abused.

I think it's always important to tell people when you start these things, just so you've got some support if it all goes wrong later.

[vintages]

OP, you didn't add "will power". Having will power can also add up and help a lot for anyone who truly wants to stop gambling.
Someone who is truly committed to stop gambling can strike out to not gambling for a whole month and he/she can succeed in it so far they have will power. But then again, will power can be altered even at the minute of trying so hard. Yet, it's still one of the best way to go.

For me gambling is fun.

There are so many reasons why people became addicted to gambling. They may earn money, socialize, excitement, and many other things. Gambling becomes terrible to them if and only if they spend more time in gambling and if it already controls his or her mind. Gambling is not good at all, so they should stop gambling, and for me, the best solution to stop gambling that you have said is the Individual mindset or having a proper mindset. You cant be addicted to gambling or anything if you have a proper mindset because having that kind of personality can lead to many positive results. I also want to add the character of being busy, if you know that you are getting addicted to gambling try to make yourself busy, you will not be used to betting if you don't have more available time. Besides, of that, you will also make yourself productive. It is better to spend your time doing other things compared to gambling because gambling will lose all your money and can cause of doing some valuable stuff.
