Not Quitting only a break

[DaNNy001]

 Gambling is a habit so difficult to stop

Through out my days as a  GAMBLER  I have seen and had  so many people who for some reason have decided in their mind that they want to stop Gambling but in the latter of things said I eventually  see them again  involving themselves in gambling acts.

So many people actually tell themselves lies and intend to keep going on with those lies and continue saying this popular quote "this time no more I have quit"

Except for  people that take the act of gambling for fun who are really not affected by gambling so many people have uttered these particular quote noted above 

It has come to my notice that these people don't actually know what to do. instead of saying that they have quit they should know that they are actually  going on a gambling break..

This will only difficult if you are not willing to stop this. If you are living on unrealistic world where you believe that you can earn a lot of money on gambling and keep pushing to reach those goal then maybe you will fall in addiction which could make you hard to resist playing and control yourself to quit playing while you are winning.

So better learn to have self control first since for sure quitting will not be a problem to you.

There are also people who have quit for real like me.I was an avid gambler before being completely addicted to slot machines.One time I hit such a hard loss that it took at least two days for me to recover to get up from bed and do something else.I promised myself that I will only play a small bankroll for fun in the slots once a week and if I get something I would be happy and quit and also if I lose this balance completely I would still be happy and quit because this is a very small balance compared to what I used to spend on gambling.

Except for  people that take the act of gambling for fun who are really not affected by gambling so many people have uttered these particular quote noted above 

If someone is an addict, best is to quit gambling, or to just leave gambling for some months or a year. The day I decided to quit, I did not look back, I quit until I have control over it. I remember when I quit for a year, I started to gambling again and I noticed I lost and I quit again. Then I knew that I have control over it, but started to use small amount. 

I had a friend, he was the first that lost huge amount of money to gambling, the money belongs to his mother living abroad. It was a disappointment when his mother needed the money but later found out the truth. He quit gambling till this day.

It depends in my opinion, especially those that gambling has thought a lesson will not want to gamble again. But supposing gambling as been taken as fun, quitting will never even come mind.

I think that is the normal response that you will hear on gambling addicts, specially if they have big losses and they can't take it any more. But once they got the money in hand, they will simply go back and play again.

so it might be a gambling break is not equal to quitting. But again, that's what they head is telling their heart to say. And then flip the switch right away if they have that opportunity to gamble again.

Involving in gambling doesn't necessarily mean that you can't withdraw over participating in gambling when you wishes, every man have a determination and ambition from my perspective over anything we engage ourselves either directly or indirectly, because i have seen a someone who is a gambling addicted who later rejected participating in gambling again, after he has calculates it's Lost and profit on gambling, it drops out gambling and till now it has not partake in gambling any longer. People have a decision making, when it comes of life achievement and the total things they lost.

[Jawhead999]

Gambling is addictive, so that's why most people will comeback in the future when they're bored or get interested with gambling ads. But an addict must stop to gamble, many big casinos has offer self exclusion feature and you need to consult with a professional. It's not wrong to take a break especially if you don't have enough funds, it would be stupid if you get loan for gambling, this should be avoid for anyone else.

I think that is the normal response that you will hear on gambling addicts, specially if they have big losses and they can't take it any more. But once they got the money in hand, they will simply go back and play again.

What I see about gambling addiction is that it is somehow different from the addiction like smoking, drinking alcohol and fornication because in those, you can tell yourself that you want to quit but not quit. In gambling, addiction only confused gambling addicts to think they can make money from gambling, they will lose, lose and lose again. They will get tired and later still think that making money is possible until they realised their mistake after losing much more. But gambling addiction can take months to years before they will know that they have to stop gambling.

Gambling is a habit so difficult to stop

On your own, you cannot, you cannot devise your own way to stop gambling once you are hooked you will want the dopamine effect daily, and that makes it hard to break gambling.

Through out my days as a  GAMBLER  I have seen and had  so many people who for some reason have decided in their mind that they want to stop Gambling but in the latter of things said I eventually  see them again  involving themselves in gambling acts.

That's empty promises, gamblers are good at doing this, they are good at creating alibis and they have amnesia when it comes to their promises to stop, they always have that this is the last session.

So many people actually tell themselves lies and intend to keep going on with those lies and continue saying this popular quote "this time no more I have quit"

I admit I have done that in the past, the urge to have another session is just too strong back then, and it took me a lot to stop the urge  

It has come to my notice that these people don't actually know what to do. instead of saying that they have quit they should know that they are actually  going on a gambling break..

When gamblers tell you that they are not going to make a bet anymore but in their mind, they are quitting for that day and will have another one tomorrow, so when gamblers tell you that they are going to quit, it's for that day but tomorrow is just another day of betting.

I believe that part of that responsbility has also become from the part of the casinos themselves, especially cryptocurrency casinos because they would be very accessible to minors if they own some Bitcoin or altcoins. It's very different environment than casinos that accept credit card/bank wire deposits because credit cards are not issued to minors, and bank wires ask for the sender's/reciever's information.

Perhaps casinos should start building "Responsible Gambling" features, no? Features that can limit how much money you can bet per 24 hours/week, or how much to deposit per 24 hours/week.

It's the worst i can advice someone to do, by getting loan because of gambling, anyone someone who encourage to obtain loan because of gambling, that person is not a good friend. The aspect of gambling addicted i believe that gambling can be quit weather you are addicted or not addicted. If you wants to be gambling exemption, the only thing you can do, is to leaving that party environment or you engaged in any support activities like table tennis and soccer exercise or swimming exercise.

Compulsive gambling is what shows that the person is becoming an addict. At the same time that person might attempt to hide money and details of transactions in order to cover up the gambling effects.

The dopamine rush that happens with addicts makes them gamble more and more, the only way to reduce this is to focus on things that they find pleasurable other than gambling.

It is not possible for every gambling addict to recover within a short span, it takes time, relapse is possible but quitting is possible. Family support goes a long way to cope with the problem.

[maydna]

It depends on how they can treat gambling. If they want to have fun with gambling, they don't have to play for too long, and when they feel like they are getting fun, they should immediately stop and leave the gambling place before they are tempted to use their other money to gamble.

Not many people can say I am done with gambling, which makes many people sink into gambling until they become addicted to gambling. We must try not to be like them by always limiting the time and money we use for gambling so that we will not become addicted.

I agree with your point. Saying to yourself, "I quit gambling forever", is not something I would recommend to do to anyone who's having problems with gambling(We don't talk here about people not inclined to gambling addiction, right? I mean, why should they quit doing what brings them joy and not harmful to them?) because you can briefly forget about your promise to yourself, make a bet or two, then you'll have this depressing thought, "I can never quit", and snap into another gambling binge. This is not what we want, right?

Instead of saying to yourself "I'm quitting gambling forever", say something like "I promise to myself to not be a victim of gambling. I promise to be a person who can stop at any moment, a person that can control himself". And then if you occasionally start gambling, you can remember that promise and stop, and not feel guilty about breaking your promise, but be happy about keeping it. But you have to have the strength to stop right away, of course.

[EarnOnVictor]

What we call addiction is so powerful, it would take hold of people and control them to do what they have determined not to do. This is the case of the people you explain here. For gamblers to have concluded not to gamble again shows that they are losing money often through it, and this is unethical, but it is now a problem if they could not back the decision with strict actions.

Mind you, only two sets of gamblers would ever want to stay, those that win (it does not matter if it's regular) and those that do it for fun. If you are not in those categories and want to stop but having issues with that, then I advise you to seek external help, it's more effective.

Most of the time it started with having fun but at the time they win, then they become motivated and start thinking that there is easy money in gambling that turns them to gamble more. Now, they become addicted, and sadly, they lose more.

What next? The more they gamble and lose, the more they aim to recover their losses. And in the end, they become broke and empty their pocket, and compromise their financial status.

same here, I've had people tell me that they are quitting gambling but you'll see them again after a week or a month and if I ask them what they are doing back, they usually say "I feel lucky". anyway, it's probably not that they don't know what to do, some probably really wanted to quit, but just like you said "Gambling is a habit so difficult to stop". these people that continuously fail to live up to what they have said needs help.

[Wexnident]

Replace gambling with another hobby, hopefully, something that takes you outside and pressures you to do strenuous activities, it can be golfing, swimming, etc. I myself have replaced it with reading but that may not be for everyone else since reading has been a part of my life even before gambling came in so it was easy to adjust.

People honestly have no idea what to do to replace gambling because they don't have anything to do, or rather forgot about what they usually do. Even simple socialization can be a suitable replacement for gambling, it's all dependent on how you yourself set it. Maybe ask a friend for that small push as the start if you can't do it alone.

It is similar to the vices (alcohol and cigarettes) that people have difficulty quitting; when they do, it is usually because they are ill and were advised to quit by their doctor. It is difficult to stop without help from others, as I mostly saw, so it's better to seek help from professionals like psychologists or therapists to stop this habit only if it is already affecting you, your family, and the people around you. I am hoping for the best for those out there suffering from this.

Probably the reason as to why these gamblers can't stop gambling even if they repetitively say that they're quitting is because they are still addicted with it. I, myself, had told myself the same thing however since I was addicted to gambling, I was not able to stop until I've reached my biggest lose which changed me.

Right now, I don't focus much on gambling and stick with my hobbies and work. Yes, I am still gambling but right now I know that I can stop anytime I want since I already did before .
