You won today, but then you will lose often

[abel1337]

To begin with, I would advise you to change your lifestyle, e.g. go travelling for a month. A change of scenery should do you good.

Very often a gambling addict is simply unable to cope with their misfortune alone, so it is better to seek professional help. Gambling addiction can be compared to tobacco smoking. Someone can easily quit smoking on their own and someone needs psychological help and even medication to relieve stress.

The problem with addictions is that it is easy to quit for one day but it is way more difficult to quit for good, as you say most of the time the life of the person that has some gambling problems is dominated by gambling and a change of scenery could be good for them, this is why you need to involvement of the family to help the addicted to recover, but many times those that are gambling addicts hide this from their families thinking they can do it on their own, and as you may guess very few people escape addiction when they try to do everything on their own.

I believe that as long as you have the will, You can escape gambling addiction. Escaping gambling addiction isn't a one-day process, This is why taking rehab in a rehabilitation center takes months or even years before you get out. I am an ex gambling addict and I suffered countless losses before I realized to myself that I need to stop.  I take the slow process of removing the addiction into my body, I didn't take the fast process because I know that the effectiveness of it is so low. Being helped by your family member is a great plus in recovering yourself but It is doable even if you do it alone.

I thought that you have because you keep insisting that people shouldn't stop reminding someone to stop if they've been already reminded for a long time. There really are people that are existing like that but everyone has their own limitation and won't stay for that long.
That's the reality of life, they won't just stay for you because there are other things to focus with their time and attention.

No, I do not have a person like what I describe but I have friends who almost like that and I am happy and grateful that they still giving their support to me and I also give the same to them. Well, life is not perfect, but we make it perfect with our friends.

When we won something in our life, we can celebrate with them, and if we lose something, they will beside us and help us not too sad.

When the first try you looks easy to win but after few time giving betting site you loss all your money, I think enough how much money loss so far in betting site, there are never have chance for you to get win more and earn profit in betting. Although you an expert in betting site never have any chance for you to win always.

At the first time, people can win easily from the gambling games, but for the next rounds or days, they will not win easily as before because that is just an attraction from the casino to make you back to their place. When you continue playing in their place, that is the sign for them that you are curious about the games and the winning to serve you better to give you a good experience in their place.

I can feel you here mate because we both have the same experience and also I died once from gambling but now I am Reborn and i become relieved .

Being helped by your family member is a great plus in recovering yourself but It is doable even if you do it alone.

Exactly coz we can't fight addiction on our Own because the desire and the Lust will always there, we can't just say We will Quit and just like that.
Family is our shield and support to go through .

That's only possible if you are not a gambler, but if you are a gambler, you mind will always be looking of the entertainment gambling could bring to you, actually it's not bad to gamble, we just have to be smart by being responsible and knowing how to control ourselves. More losing experience, that's normal but sometimes we win big time and that could give us the best entertainmnet or fulfillment as a gambler.

You are talking about gambling as if there is no cure to addiction to gambling, I disagree that it is only possible if you are not a gambler, there are rehabilitation for addiction and I am pretty sure that even gamblers can quit entirely in gambling.

I believe that there's a cure for being addicted in gambling and taking meds has nothing to do with it but rather controlling yourself and set limitation on yourself of how long (time) you're supposed to expose yourself in gambling could help. It is not an easy process believe me, it takes time and there is nothing who can help you out this but nothing than yourself and having a self descipline.  And its nice to hear such an inspiring story of a successful  exit from being a gambling addict, it really help a lot.

all addictions can be cured including gambling addiction, but it is not an easy matter to get rid of gambling from a habit that we have been doing for a long time because there are several reasons people do gambling including to find joy and forget about problems, to find self-justification (that we are a superior) , getting extra money from winning and maybe gambling helps us socialize, overcoming depression or boredom and so on, then when all these things we have found, will it be easy to let it go back? of course not because over time it will continue to bother us psychologically and try to revive the addiction in us to go back to gambling.

I've not been losing anything since last year and you know why?
Because I've stopped gambling on casinos (only enjoying a lot betting on sports where I've a strict bankroll management)
I'm so tempted to play again but I'm afraid of losing, therefore I'll have to set a strategy or define how much I want to gamble. Or I simply have to stay out of casinos.

I guess you have good control for yourself so you do not gamble on casinos. We should have control like you and not gambling too often to prevent the big loss.
Be careful because the temptation can become bigger without realizing it, especially if you see many gamblers can win from the games.
I hope you do not lose your control and can still prevent playing gambling instead of holding your funds.
If you afraid of losing, you can stay away from casinos and do something else to let your mind do not think about gambling.

Your self will is the best cure with this kind of addiction, it's very difficult as mentioned
person who suffer from this addiction really needs good attentions.

Aside from yourself, the support from your love ones are also adding the weight for much quicker recoveries. Taking step towards
your own relief start with you.

Those inspiring stories also helps to alarm people who are still engaged with this kind of problem.

Avoiding casinos but still gambling on sportsbooks I think the risk of losing is still there, because betting on a sportsbook will not eliminate the risk of losing up to 100%. But indeed, with you having a strict bankroll management, it will certainly be good because at least you will only bet with money that is ready to lose and that way, you will not gamble too often because gambling is not something that must be prioritized.

If we play/gamble we should in the first play that we can be lose or win. It's practical way to not gamble if you don't want losing. I admire how discipline you are for stopping yourself gambling. If you want to come back playing I think the first thing you should do is to have limitations and allocate of your some extra money for gambling. Don't give all of your savings for gamble so what ever happens, you win or lose, atleast you secure yourselves and have fun at the same time. It's okay to have fun sometimes but gamble responsibly. Because it is true that in some days we win but in gamble we lose often. That's the reality.

Good for your side that you have those type of friends that won't get tired reminding you if you need it.

When we won something in our life, we can celebrate with them, and if we lose something, they will beside us and help us not too sad.

That's what friends are for, in good times and bad times, you have to be with them and those are only the truest people and friend that you've found.

Yep, gambling responsibly, carefully, and wisely, based on our own risk and fund management.
This includes many things about how to gamble wisely and carefully.
People in Gambling are commonly only focusing on the result, the first day he may be long and he is still curious, losing and losing again, and then getting depression. Or, on the first day, he is lucky enough and then tries other gamblings and day to days are losing at all. This is bad enough to go this far.
 I agree that if we are doing gambling, we must be responsible for any kinds of risks that we may get

That's why everyone is asked to gamble responsibly. The risks involved in gambling are real although we never really want to go too far. Gambling problem often arise at the end after the player begin to realize that his gambling activity has crossed the line. In essence, bet according to your financial mean and as much as you can afford to lose because that's how gambler can avoid the problem that exist in gambling.

The risk of loss will be there, but if we have control and know how much money we can use to bet, that can reduce the chance of losing big money.
Besides that, if we can analyze the team or the player, we can know how big our risk and how we can avoid the big risk.
With betting on a sportsbook, at least we can place the bet in the sports that we really know the team or the player, so we do not waste our money on something that we do not know.
It can help us to reduce the risk and also we will have more chances to win.

I agree.

Curing gambling addiction is hard, but it is indeed curable by rehabilitation and therapy. First, if you'll not admit that your Gambling habits are not addiction, you're not gonna be better because you have to admit it and trust the process of removing away your addiction. Now, people are often says that they do play gambling because of boredom, just their pastime, etc... these are mere excuses, or maybe it is indeed true, but these are also the precautions you could consider to avoid getting yourself involve in gambling anymore which I believe is also a cure.

Instead of randomly deciding to play gambling because you're bored, why not make a plan for tomorrow or everyday for you to entertain yourself in a way that you'll never lose your money.

Like I wrote, I enjoy very much betting on football and I think that when the major European competitions will be over also my sports gambling activity will close fro the summer. And I'm not planning to go back to casinos anytime soon.
One never knows if that temptation is small enough to be controlled and suppressed or else.

[clint25n]

Gambler have never stop any more with how many time loss and their statistic playing on stake account example more loss than profit but keep to bet without care with their money, I think some one have hobbies as gambling and have some other for income with gambling. But remember not any way your profit consistent with gambling.

That's right. The first degree of recovery from any addiction is admitting there is a problem to deal with. If a person does not acknowledge that there is a problem or tries to blame it on others, it will never be solved.

I have met many strong people in my life who have managed to beat various addictions that are much stronger than gambling addiction. So everything is in our hands, we just need to make an effort.

I think sports betting games help us to have better restrictions and control than conventional gambling games that have fast game speed because the time per game is relatively long, besides, the analysis combined with our understanding of the game is enough to give us an advantage in betting. However, you say very precisely that greed sometimes gets bigger, for a few moments when our awareness delves into gambling, mistakes are already hard to erase, so avoiding the whisper of gambling is better.
