Are you a gambler?

[AicecreaME]

I got interested in betting before I even registered on this forum... So I'm not just doing it for the signature rules, but also for fun... But I think a lot of people here have started betting after participating in signature campaigns!

Yes. to be frank, I like to restart gambling after going through all these discussion. When you discuss over and over on few things, you tend to either completely fall into it or love to make a try to it. I remember, I once was lucky enough to win some btc on a betting site in 2017. I gained bit in the beginning but later, obviously lost much. There I stopped as the fund I had became empty.

I guess most of the population here shares the same story.

Cryptocurrency just popped up in 2009 and then years after years, it evolves and expand, gambling sites using cryptocurrency is one of that. People started and already knew gambling even cryptocurrency gambling sites before existed, so technically we are not really playing gambling just because of our signature campaign but because it's our own choice.

Offline and online casinos are the same when it comes to the outcome of every gamblers, most of the time, you will lose. The worst case scenario is that you'll become broke if you'll not control how much you'll bet.

I am a gambler but not happy that I am one.I started gambling before I joined this forum,but really wants to stop gambling,because it has eaten me up,I Mean I have turned to an addict in gambling.Some people gamble for fun as they say,but when I started gambling,I took it as a means of income,and that was where I got it all wrong,because I continued gambling just to make money and at the end,I will lose.If I can do anything possible to make me stop gambling now,I won't hesitate to do it.

You have experience with gambling but I guess you should better learn how to stop gambling. Otherwise, you will regret it in the future, especially when your gambling addiction becomes bigger. I believe you can end your addiction because you have a will to stop gambling. Maybe you can share your problem with others around you so they can give advice on what you should do. I am sure you can stop gambling because I see that you really want to stop gamble.

In the past it could be said that my time was only spent gambling even though I had a regular job, but somehow my days were always filled with gambling. Until finally I got a lot of losses until I decided to stop and unfortunately it didn't last long, because then I got to know online gambling which of course is very fun until now.

What a turned around for you  after losing a  lots of money what comes first inside your mind is to completely stop and forget
this activities, but along the way when you already settled that regret eventually you'll be back and play again.

Not new to myself, as I also experienced that kind of huge losses though that happened long ago but the amount is something that
will linger to your ear, something that reminds you how you made a mistake like that.

But moving forward, here again betting with some spare and enjoying if the pick is right

You realized that you are an addicted gambler and you know that it is wrong but you do not know how to deal with your addiction?
I think you need to find some help, you can start to talk to someone close to you like your own family.
Or you can ask someone you trust to hold your money so you will not be able to use it for gambling.
Anyway where do you usually gamble as I have never seen similar username like yours in some casinos where I usually play?

Gambling as an addiction is a substitute for something else that is missing in your life. Strong social relationships, a hobby, sports that make you better looking and feeling. If you set a goal like losing weight or whatever, try to shift your time into pursuing that goal.

I've seen an interesting documentary where they researched all kinds of addictions over a longer period of time, and in almost 100% of the cases the addiction (whatever type) was a substitute for something those people wished for but felt they couldn't have. Social relations often help, hang out with ambitious friends who aren't fucked up themselves or are depressed. Even cut social relations that depress you. There are a lot of things one can do to improve life.

I can assume that the lockdown influenced your behavior. Many people, being deprived of the opportunity to lead their usual way of life, acquire some kind of bad habit, which is then difficult to get rid of. Maybe for a start you should replace one addiction with another - a gym or another online game but without risking money?

And it may become more difficult to control once the decision to stop gambling fail to be sustained once one begin to be interested in returning. I was talking about myself and I was only able to stop for 3 month before I finally started to get interested in gambling again regardless of the reason. Many gamblers may not have strong principles because they can change at any time as long as there is money, opportunity, free time and desire.

I think in situations like that most people experience it after a long time entering and playing in the gambling industry then thinking about quitting, and after a long time of stopping finally playing again.
and I personally experience it because I still like to see and open up gambling situations that can lead to temptation and end up playing again and other reasons as long as we are involved in this industry it can't be separated from gambling that makes us want to play again, and I think as long as I don't waste time me to gamble every day and play my gambling very rarely, I think it's still normal.

Gambling wasnt abnormal in the first place because this is an activity which is  part of leisure or entertainment which its normal for people to get involved into as long you are responsible on controlling your finances then i dont see anything wrong with it, it is just people do really take it too much or go beyond borders.

You would definitely get addicted if you do already compromise both your finances and also your time but if not then you are still doing good and shouldnt be worried.

Play responsibly and dont spent out money which is intended for daily expense or living  and you're good to go.

The surest way to change your attitude towards gambling is to have plastic surgery on your face.  Ironically, facial plastic surgery will cure your gambling addiction. 

A professor of psychology told me about this. 

How can it be?  It is so simple! 

Our face is our personality.  By changing our face, we are changing our personality. 

However, plastic surgery is a very cardinal tool for personal growth. 

You can do otherwise.  Buy glasses without diopters and wear them all the time.  Glasses change your face a lot.  You can dye your hair green or red.  Place braces on your teeth. 

The main principle is that by changing your appearance, you can get rid of bad habits.

Gambling is always fun because we are a gambler, but losing money that is already beyond our limit, gambling is not fun anymore, it's already called addiction as we urge ourselves to gamble to win and enjoy without considering the risk of doing it. We should be smart, not everything in this life that we like is always good for us, if we are building problem already, we should stop while it's not big enough yet.

This is sad to read but you can overcome it, many people have done before you and you can be one of them as well, the key is to ask for professional help as they have a lot of experience dealing with people with the same problem, this requires the hardest step that any one that is going through this has to take, which is to recognize they have a problem and they need to overcome it, but once you do you will feel liberated and you will be free to get back to your previous life once you go through the necessary treatment.

Yes. But judging by what he says, he has real problems with addiction and he cannot get rid of it, even though he perfectly understands the harmfulness of such behavior. To be honest, when I find out about such cases, I start to fear for myself - what if I become addicted? Usually I start to limit myself even more after that.

Self realization would be enough imho and wont really be needing any professional  help but if you do find that its already hard to overcome for yourself then this is the time you do seek out
for some back up if you are really dont able to quit out.

Gambling is for entertainment but people do really turn out to be addicted because they are aiming on something which isnt possible which is to continue to win which is impossible.

Gambler is a player but when addiction hits you then this is the time where you do really face up some serious problems.

I have been addicted until not very long ago.However I have passed it all,no problems for me whatsoever now.How I passed is easy,I just started doing other things after work rather than gambling,like going out for a run,learning a new skill or technology and things like this.Now I have come to a point where I can play when I want and I can stay for months without playing if I feel like it.What I want to say is that all depend on our self at how good we can handle situations like this.

[carlisle1]

Everything will end up to this,

If you have that will to stop, there are many ways to use your time and energy, instead of focusing with your gambling activities you can divert

your attentions to other things, and with the way you wrote up it's a good example of working with your self determination and not to engaged
that much again, no one can really help aside from your own passions to stop,.

You are lucky that you have such a character and temperament and such a mental state.  However, there are quite a few of these people who cannot simply switch to other activities.  And for them this is a problem, sometimes even a very serious one.  And not only for them, but also for their relatives and friends.  Such a person can completely exclude me from society.  And here you cannot do without treatment by psychologists, and even by a psychiatrist.  Unfortunately, such "crazy" players are becoming more and more due to the development of, first of all, Internet gaming sites.

You really are a strong person if you were able to get rid of gambling addiction but unfortunately, many can not do it. Maybe you can advise where to start for those players who have fallen into this trap and can't get out of it on their own?

I am not that strong but I have become one after my daughter was born in March 2020 in the middle of the pandemic.I knew that if I kept gambling I would destroy my family and everything and I thought about her,my daughter.I thought to myself I want to give her a better life than I have had so far (although I have had a really good one until now).This was my motivation and by being able to not play for several months then gambling was not an addiction anymore,so they have to think what they value the most and start from there and interlace with some passions they may have,there is no real other way out of this.

I don't know about you man, but if you feel gambling will ruin your life, then you should stop. I also have children but it never came into my mind to stop gambling because I know I can handle my finances, provide the needs of my family while gambling.

Congratulations on ending your addiction to gambling. I agree that if we want to end ourselves from gambling, we need to make ourselves busy by doing other things. He can do other things after the job to block his mind not to think about gambling. That really helps him and I think that can also work for other people who want to stop gambling and maybe they will have a different method to solve the addiction.
