how many times have you intended to stop gambling

[Volgastallion]

I think if you want to stop you need to stop, i know this sound like the same with other words, but not.

If your mind and body tell you from the inside STOP no matter for what (most probably for losing money, or maybe time), you need to quit the gambling and re think all yourself and life, because you were hooked and you can fall more.

Clearly. If you want to stop doing something and continue doing it, you definitely have a problem. I think a lot of people lean on addiction to explain their problems as well, but to me that’s a cop out. Nobody forces you to do things you don’t want to do. If you keep gambling when you know you should stop then you are just a weak minded individual who lets their greed control them. Just quit cold turkey if you need to. Quit listening to people who sympathize with what you’re going for a take some responsibility for your actions.

Definitely, but it's two different things in my opinion, it's the emotion though that you need to conquer. If you don't have control over it, even if your mind says to stop, you can still go back and gamble and continue.

If your mind and body tell you from the inside STOP no matter for what (most probably for losing money, or maybe time), you need to quit the gambling and re think all yourself and life, because you were hooked and you can fall more.

Again it's takes more than that. That's why gambling addiction is way different to let's say quitting smoking. It will really take a lot from you, mind, body and the help from within your circles, families and friends before you can quit gambling for good.

The more you try stopping it to gamble the harder it becomes because you're just too used to it, yes we all find it difficult to stop what we have started especially when we derive this kind of satisfaction in it, I don't make any move towards putting a stop to my gambling lifestyle because it's not beyond my control or what a couldn't cope doing anymore, but in case of those interested to quit a d put a stop then they should work on a substitute first than starting the unfinished task.

Gambling has become an everyday thing for some people and this act has lead to serious addiction which is not good. When gambling we should understand that we are just playing for fun. Most people i know around always take gambling as a very serious issue and i have this particular friend that always complains to me how he has stopped gambling but from no where you still see him gambling again. Me myself am a sesonal gambler and i only gamble on the sport i know which is soccer, i think exploration of new gambling games you are familiar with also causes this repeated feeling of always quitting gambling. I just want to know if this phrase is common among everyone or its just he catch phrase whenever you experiences a big loss.

For me gambling is not something foreign, since I was young. so, it's only natural that I was once part of a gambling addict. be it traditional gambling, land-based casinos, or fiat casinos. the worst thing was when I started playing poker, baccarat, etc., I had a hard time with what happened to my life personally. not infrequently, I often try to stop gambling. I don't know how many times I tried it, I don't even remember. and frankly, it's very hard to do. the temptation and strong urge to play gambling, always crossed my mind.

Until finally, I can control myself well. then crypto casinos appeared, I switched from fiat casinos and played at crypto casinos. armed with my experience in the past, at least, I have limits and self-control so as not to be led to addiction. and the most important point is, understanding and responsibility. if someone is able to decipher the meaning of both, i'm pretty sure. Gambling can be interpreted as just being a fun part of entertainment, without having to harm other people, family, and even ourselves.

[darkangel11]

In my case the answer is never. I don't gamble very often and I don't lose a lot of money doing it so I don't feel the need to stop. I feel like only when you know you're addicted or gambling makes a negative impact on your life you should start thinking of stopping. Why should a casual drinker who drinks a few beers once a week when he's out with friends should stop? It's the same with gamblers. You can be a casual gambler or keep doing it all day, every day.

[Crypt0Gore]

None, because I was never addicted to gambling, I am very disciplined and I only gamble when I can afford it, most times 1% of my earnings per week is why I use it for gambling, if you said you find it very hard to stop gambling it means you are addicted to gambling. I think it's also better to gamble not only because of the earnings but out of deriving fun.

[uneng]

Always I had to stop gambling due to losses I did it without further issues, besides a temporary urge, impulse to keep playing, because it's really hard to accept you lost and it's game over. But after controling that temporary emotion I quit gambling until recovering my losses through another sources of income, so I can come back to gambling again later.

Right now, I'm recovering myself from a loss, so I quited gambling, although I have plans to gamble again once I conclude this recovery.

[Smartvirus]

If you mean stop by trimming down your gambling habits, then I would have to say its a thing of the past that came at a cost of  my persistence but, if your talking about putting a complete halt on it? I just haven't. Gambling hasn't been much of a problem as I am always in control of my gambling habits.

It's not just drinks tht you get to "drink responsibly". Even gambling too, you've got to be responsible while gambling. You shouldn't gamble if you can't handle yourself, if you've got no stable means of income, don't know where or when to draw the line and head home or logout.

There is a reason why it's often rated 18years and above. Not like those above 18years of age should gamble but, it someworth defines a level of reasoning that is expected of an individual if that age. Handle yourself good while gambling.

[bitbollo]

I take longer period without betting.
Sometimes also really long likewise months or year. Maybe I can gamble with some free funds just for not waste some bonus.

I can take a bet or gamble just because I find something that really deserve attention otherwise during these periods I don't place literally no bets.

Probably after years and years of gambling yes I am not playing as before so probably I am going to stop any activity on it.

[ShowOff]

I'm not sure how many of me there were, but in the end it was just crap. You can never get away from gambling if you are still in this industry every day. I've even been off for a few months, but I can still come back the next month. Just by lowering the intensity I think the problem can be minimized, but someone who is very troubled should plan to stop completely and consult for recovery.

Finally the decision to stop can only be arranged by you, but success or failure only depends on how you have the intention and prevent yourself from getting involved.

That's the power of addiction,  when one is addicted to gambling it doesn't just become easy for one stop immediately after making decisions. It takes the grace of God and total self agreement to conquer gambling. People who are addicted are willing to stop after making their decisions but in few time they have urge for gambling becomes active in them and if one is not strong enough to overcome the urge they will definitely fall to it and go back to gambling.  It is important every gambler get to know their is addiction in gambling and get a limit to play gambling not to get addicted.

A very common reaction and words to be said for those someone who are really just experiencing consecutive loss on which you would really be definitely saying that you would be stopping completely which it would really be that not that true most of the time on where you would be playing once again if you do see some opportunity on doing so.Self control is the main issue of most gamblers on where they do really fail out
on doing so.If they do quit then they should mean it and not just on the time that you do suffer huge loss or long consecutive.Its not that surprising anymore and we know that
each person does have its own level of tolerance when it comes to this one.

I never had such intentions... I had/have moments when I decide not to play some games ever again, then months (or years) go by without playing that game, but somehow I always come back at some point. With a new approach and different strategies, at least I like to think it's like that.

I have periods when I don't gamble for different reasons... because I don't have enough time or money, anyway it's not like something disturbing for me. I learned to be patient and wait for "my moment". I guess that comes with age and experience... Gambling should be fun and entertaining, I will never stop gambling probably, but I learned to control my temper a lot compared with myself in my 20ies, and probably early 30ies!

[goaldigger]

There are times that I’m thinking to stop gambling because I realize that I’m just wasting my time and focus on trading instead but since I don’t gamble that much, it didn’t push through and I’m still gambling if there’s still an extra money. It’s true that its not easy to quit gambling but if you are already addicted to this, you must do everything to avoid gambling and save yourself from drowning. Being responsible can be a big help, make sure you are gambling within your means and you just want to have fun.

I haven't thought about stopping gamble, in the sense that I only gamble with a specific amount of money,which I do budget from my monthly income. Another thing I see,is that I entertain myself when am gambling therefore, I see gambling as fun. Weekends is when I give more time to gambling. Someone who intends to stop gambling must have his own personal reason to do that,which might not be the same as others.

[Johnyz]

You’ll hear this one from a gambler who experienced a lot of losses but still ended up playing the other week. Since I’m also an occasional gambler, i didn’t try to stop gambling because I’m on a budget every time I gamble and I know the risk of losing the money which makes me more responsible. Its hard to stop gambling if you are already exposed to it, you can just limit your playing time though.

[nakamura12]

I am not really sure on how many times I tried to stop gambling on casinos but I am successful at dojng it since then and it's been a month already that I didn't gamble on casino. I won't be sure if I really stop or I should say really really stop gambling. There are times before where I stop gambling but not for too long which I gamble again and then stop again and later gamble again until O finally stop and as I have said it's been a month since then. Honestly, I haven't thought of that how many times and if I did gamble again then I think I should try to count how many times IF I start gambling again.

A very common word indeed on which i had experience it a lot of time for myself that i would be quitting gambling for good but on the time that rage deep inside you would be wiped away or on the time that you do make out some next bet winning then those frustrations and anger would be wiped away on an instant and this is why they would really be just forgetting on what they had experience earlier on which it would be an endless cycle for most gamblers where they would be continuing to play if they wanted to and this is where there's no stopping on playing into those people who arent really that good when it comes
to self control.

There's a saying about being a gambler, stays to someone's blood until he or she fully changed. We find something in gambling that makes us happy and even if we're losing, it doesn't matter. As long as we're satisfied and our cravings to gamble has been given, that's the only thing that we want to see. And to answer the question about how many times did I attempted to quit, well, they were like tons of times and I can't count them. Whenever I lose, I'll tell that I quit but tomorrow I'll be back so I'm sure that something like happens to all of us.
