Not Quitting only a break

[QueenVera]

Most times, people you see coming back to gambling even after declaring not to gamble again, actually wanted a real quiet not a break but then you'll notice it's addiction in action this time and not just the pleasures of gambling.
In cases like this, these set of persons actually need a counselor to help talk them out of this and to help them rebuild their minds because it takes a lot to fight and win the war against addictions.

I have also seen cases of people who after a very huge win that evidently changed their lives, still fall back to gambling and most times might end up frustrated if not checked or controlled because they might in some cases believe they know all it take to be successful in gambling and indulge more in reverse gambling which is financially and mentally not right for an individual.
The moment you find someone gambling so hard,please at every opportunity you have, try talking to them.

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..

It depends on how deep the addiction to gambling is. If a person is addicted to gambling already, he will have a hard time quitting on his own. There should be an outside factor that will force him to stop gambling for a long time and develop another habit that will replace gambling. Friends, relatives, and loved ones are a great help to keep addicted gamblers from coming back to gamble.

While moderate gamblers will find it easy to give up gambling because they have not developed the habit yet and they are not addicted yet. These people can quit on their own.

I think I can quit on my own whenever I wanted to quit gambling. I am not that addicted to gambling.

Gambling is a habit so difficult to stop

But not impossible. If you do some search I am of the opinion that you will still find people that have stopped the so difficult habit with help and discipline. Stopping has to be a strong resolution, something that you are determined to do. If you know stopping gambling will be difficult to achieve, you can reduce the number of times you gamble, till when you can go some days without considering it, and then you make the final decision to stop since it has become possible to go days without it. Quitting is a gradual process.

You are right. It may take time and a lot of effort, but it is not impossible. It is always doable as long as you have the will to do it and a supportive community that will help you gradually get away from gambling.

This also has an important side effect, the more they say they are going to quit gambling and the more they keep failing this creates in them the impression they cannot control themselves at all, and in the case they become addicted to gambling it will be way harder for them to beat their addiction as they have already created a pattern for themselves in which they cannot quit gambling at all, so if someone is really determined to quit gambling for good they need to make a legitimate effort so this does not happen to them.

Anything that you're hooked up too or worst getting addicted to is really hard to get rid of. A lot of people are actually planning to quit gambling but will only end up lying to themselves, because the urge is still there. Quitting on to something doesn't happen in a blink of an eye, there is a thorough process for it to successfully overcome any temptations while you're in the process. An indefinite break must be the first step. You might be doing it again on the latter, but make sure to minimize the usual expenses and time spent than before, and do it gradually until you only gamble casually.

Yes, gambling is difficult to stop and that is why we have those who become so addicted.

That's one sign, when people doesn't want to admit that they have been hook already but lies.

Because you will see after what they said, they will continue to gamble, but this time, they will going to hide it from people. And then after a a gambling session, you will hear from them that they quit, then after sometime going back to the old habit again.

When you are already addicted then quitting is really hard
When you are already addicted then only your mind is just telling to quit
When your emotion do sets in and wanting to gambling badly, then you would be ending up on playing again.
When your self discipline had been overcomed by greed

You would definitely not able to quit.If you do play or having some little time span breaks then it wont be that idea
but honestly it is really just slowing down things but dont change up a single thing.

Addiction can be a powerful trait in many people and once you go down that rabbit hole the only thing possible to cure it can be total abstinence. If somebody has been addicted to cigarettes, they have both a chemical and a habitual addiction which is a somewhat similar to gambling. Only with gambling you get an adrenaline rush from big wins along with the habit forming behaviors. There is a whole industry built up around the psychology of gambling because it generates a hell of a lot of money for the various companies that partake in it. They are trying to squeeze every last cent out of you if they can, so will manipulate every trigger possible to draw you back in.

Quitting is always a choice, and while some gamblers stick to their choices and leave gambling behind, others could not stand it so they only take a break and gamble again when they think they can do it again. So if gamblers want to quit, of course they can, but maybe most of the gamblers still want to take every chances to make more profits by chasing their luck and hoping to win this time despite of their huge losses. That is why some have quit gambling successfully, while others end up gambling more and become drown with their huge losses.

Yes, gambling is difficult to stop and that is why we have those who become so addicted.

This is the reality in gambling, once you enter into the phase of addiction it will be hard for you to get away of that but of course once you committed to stop gambling you can still do it, its just a matter of time and a lot of sacrifices. Its good to have a break sometimes especially if you feel burned out already and tired of your losses, you can always come back in gambling when you are more ready and already know how to control yourself.

Gambling turns to be addictive when there is continuous loss, because the mind always remember of recovering the loss. From my personal experience, mind never thinks of making big money but wants back what is being lost. This is where most of the time the control gets missed and users go for borrowing money to gamble.

Having a break itself a good thing, because it makes the gambler think about the financial problems that could arise out of gambling. Gambling is fun when we do it with limits. Quitting is difficult when we're on the losing streak.

Gambling is a habit so difficult to stop

I agree, because of several factors gambling habit is really difficult to contain. It has something to do with the dopamine that is being produced during a gambling session that keep us wanting to gambling more.  The more we engage in gambling the more it is hard for us to stop.  And whenever we think we already quit and stopped, then comes the time we found ourselves gambling again.  So yeah @OP is correct when we thought we are quitting, what we mean is just taking a break.

[DaNNy001]

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 .

At least you stated the fact that you are still gambling. It's just that you have limited your addiction and maybe reduce your gambling stakes so as to reduce any substantial great losses that would emotional and psychological affect you
Well I urge to stick to this tactics of yours and never go back to gambling addiction

You said about dopamine!!

My opinion is that age plays an influential role and makes a difference in this situation.

Whether you get excited or calm while gambling depends on your experience and age.

As long as you are a mature enough gambler, you will be able to control yourself in any situation in which you find yourself. In the event that you lose control, you will have to accept that you lack the necessary experience.

It is common for gamblers to set their limits based on their win-loss ratio when it comes to gambling. It is also relevant to note that gamblers often determine their level of gambling based on their income.

On the other hand, if you are addicted, it will be a different story.

[dothebeats]

Not a lot of people are brave enough to admit that they are doing something negative that needs to stop for them to rethink their actions. Not a lot of people are ready to face the other truth that sometimes, what they're doing is no longer okay and it affects other aspects in their lives. In gambling, a gambler won't admit he/she's problematic unless they are dragged to a very difficult situation e.g. having an enormous debt or selling their properties for funds to gamble. They need to have a very solid reason of stopping what they think is 'harmless fun.'

Well I can't blame them. If it primarily serves  as something that gives them enjoyment, it will be hard to let go.

[Gosgosking]

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"

When people make decisions like this they are serious about it but it is not just easy for them to hold to it because of the addiction. I have been in a state like this  that I could not hold to my decision .
People who make decisions like this always,  at the end come back fir it.

[Fivestar4everMVP]

Addiction is not something to really joke with, a lot of gamblers have ended their lives untimely due to addiction in gambling, it is really important to take the issue quite seriously.

If by any chance you discover that stopping gambling have become a difficult thing to do, like you tell yourself you quit and later, you find yourself gambling again, if this continue for maybe three different occasions, then i honestly suggest the party involved should begin to seek help immediately, do not wait until the situation have become so severe, it is better to approach this issue on time than leave it until the situation becomes really worst.
This is my candid advice.

[boyptc]

Taking a break until they finally quit.

If that's what they intend to do, they just have to do it gradually because having an instant stop will make them harder to do. It takes time until they take it seriously to quit.

Because at most times, when they quit, it's only within their mouths and they can't really quit just as much as they want to do.

It's like a disease that is difficult to cure. There are many people out there who gamble every day, but some are successful and some are getting poorer. Please note I do not attack a gambler but I am also one of the gamblers since 3 years ago, a lot of gambling I do from sportsbooks to the most frequent is slot gambling, I often feel defeat and only a few wins I get, of course this a bitter experience. Finally, I started to leave my bad daily life a little by not holding my cellphone and more often doing activities outside the home, such as fishing or climbing mountains to change my thinking so that I could be free from it all.

Taking a break from gambling is not something you should have to quit gambling.

I often take a break from gambling because I don't feel like playing. Rather, I enjoy watching others play during breaks.

Gambling breaks are not uncommon. People gamble for peace of mind, but sometimes they have to take a break because of the extra time spent. After a short break, they return after some time has passed.

However, if you are at risk of becoming addicted to gambling, you should stop playing before you become addicted to avoid the risk. If necessary, go to a rehab center.

Those that can't do it on an instant.

They can take a break until they like their break and they will be able to quit gambling wholly. That's the way for the others to make them quit gambling if they can't do it for now.

It's like practicing yourself going away from gambling and then you do some other things as you take a break. And when it takes a lot of time, you'll be able to realize how long it has been since you have stopped.
