Easy or hard to quit?

[Aikidoka]

It is true that we as good human beings also need some fun, but sometimes it is difficult because many do not know healthy fun and that includes being able to control emotions and performing many functions, including putting everything on a scale, not go crazy, and control impulses above all, when we play we have many impulses and that is what leads us to make bad decisions.

If we had the coldness of a robot to manage our own emotions, we would be very advanced beings and with many things that we can achieve, but it is difficult, very difficult to control emotions, and even though it is something we can do ourselves, we get into our minds that we are invincible when we play and that is when we lose the most money.

Yeah, but sadly we aren't robots capable of controlling our emotions. I believe it's quite hard for a human being to achieve complete control over their emotions. Quitting gambling can be an extremely difficult decision for someone who has been gambling for years, but it may not be as hard for someone who only gambles casually and in moderation. To be honest, I don't plan to give up gambling because it brings me joy and I genuinely enjoy doing it with my friends from time to time. It never negatively affects me because I know how to control myself and rarely exceed my limits. Even when I do, I don't regret it.

Can you quit gambling if you make a life changing money and never go back to gambling?

I asked this because those who made some money through gambling near me always go back to gamble and they end up losing everything they once made through gambling.

Is it fine to say that people should not go back into gambling once they made high amount of money? Because the chance of losing that money again is very high, even if they don't use all the money to gamble at once, gambling can take it all back in time.

Have you ever won a high amount of money from gambling and managed to not lose them all back to gambling? And to date, you are still gambling?

I have seen a similar question before but it was about crypto and not gambling and in all of the responses that were commented on that thread, a guy replied that if you made such everlasting money to quit, why not make the money and continue instead of quilting but don't put back the money where you got it, rather it should be used for another business and that is what I have seen Punters do when they make millions from gambling. Anytime they make money from gambling, they divert it to another business and still maintain their gambling and they don't miss the two money together, each of them are independent of each other and trust me, must of them now have more than 2-3 businness they have and still gambling with improve skills.

When we experience loss we'll decide not to gamble anymore, soon after that our mind will think why don't we just wager a little. We'll experience little win and increase the capital. Now we start to gamble regularly and at some point we don't have control and want to make specific amount out of gambling. We run behind the target and in between we won't be able to achieve it. Our mind doesn't accept it and we will be with positive thoughts and borrow to gamble. Now the risk is big and this continues, so when you prefer to stop gambling you should not think of it anymore.

[Doan9269]

Can you quit gambling if you make a life changing money and never go back to gambling?

To be honest here the best idea is to either quit or pause and give some space to make a good achievement with the money before going back to gambling because if care is not taken, the money won will gradually returned back to where it came from if the gambler continue making attempts the more to have a second chance experience in winining that kind of amount, that's why you could sometimes discover that some make a win and later turned a failure because they can't give an accurate of how they utilize the money than on gambling.

Exactly, when you keep thinking about gambling it turns out to be you are somehow addicted to the casino games. Logically, as an addicted gambler you gonna deposit and play more while there are other important things in life to do. Quitting gambling is not easy for an addicted person, there are many variables gamblers should take into consideration before deciding to quit it completely but as you explained once you decide to do so better not to rethink gambling and its consequences, IMO. Just decide what you wanna do and follow this path with help from a professional psychologist.

The human tendency to be swayed by the spasms of emotion is a real danger that can cause us to make hasty choices. We'd all like to be in charge of our feelings, but that's easier said than done

However, pausing to consider the sources of our negative emotions can help us realize that we have more control than we give ourselves credit for. Our acts are like ripples on a pond; they only show the surface impact of our true feelings. Maybe we shouldn't strive for the emotionlessness of a robot, but rather try to comprehend these feelings

Your description of the feeling of "invincibility" we get when playing piques my interest. Many people feel this way, yet the reality of death always breaks their hearts. The goal is not to eradicate these emotions, but to prevent us from being blinded by them when making decisions. It's possible that this strategy will yield better results than cold heartlessness

On the time that you do see yourself that you are on almost addiction then it would really be just that wise that you should be distracting yourself on engaging on things which it would divert out your interest on gambling.
You could actually do it if you are really that meant on doing so.It is really just that a matter of self discipline and control towards self. Addiction wont really be that possible or could hit you up if you are really
that sensible on what are the things that are currently happening into you.The most common mistake for most people is that they do tolerate out that kind of eagerness on playing gambling without minding
about the probabilities on getting addicted. Majority of people would only stop on the time that they would really be experiencing unfortunate events which it is really supposed to be avoided
it earlier if we are really just that mindful about on whats happening around.  Hard to quit? It would really be just depending on you because not all would really be that good when it comes to make up decisions
even if they wanted to.

It is the uncontrollable urge to gamble that keeps a person depositing and gamble.  Even if the money  is for the monthly budget or payment for bills, a gambling addict will use it just to satisfy that urge.  Since gambling addict use the money they cannot afford to lose, they will then chase losses and continue gambling just to recover the lost amount.  This is when they are trapped in a loop.  Trying to win back the money but keep losing more.

A player is lucky when he realized that he is addicted to gambling and seeks the help of a professional psychologist and therapist since many tends to deny it and continue their gambling addiction until their life is in ruins.

Situation like this is very common, you experienced the fun of playing and winning and you wanted to keep repeating it, thinking that you already find the best strategy that will help you to win more, but when you start to experienced the losses and you are unable to accept that there's no real strategy that will work to keep you earn from each bets.

Then this un-expected things will come out of your mind, lending or borrowing to that you'll going to sell your personal belonging just to continue pleasing your gambling desire.

Things that are really hard to control, basically when you already feel that pressure to quit better to follow that desire, and never to look
back.

[Silberman]

Of course in a very good way, if we get big wins from gambling, we have to enjoy the results by going on vacation or buying something expensive so it's not in vain.
because otherwise the money will just run out and many have experienced that most people who win from gambling are out of shape or don't enjoy it, so buying something expensive or investing is a great way. And if later we want to start again, start again without using the winnings we got before and this is a smart gambler.

But in most cases gamblers will find themselves getting greedier when they hit a big win. Some of them didn't have the chance to enjoy their winnings by going on vacation or buying something, but all those winnings were being used up because of the desire to win something bigger.

I truly believe that this type of gambler will find it very difficult to quit even if they are deep in debt. They are all gambling to get a big win, whereas they will not get out before their target is reached. It was the wrong mindset, but they would only regret it after all their winnings had been burned up by greed.

And there are countless examples of this, basically what can be a bigger win that winning the lottery and receiving a massive prize money? It is easy to imagine that someone which was looking for a big win will finally call it quits once they were lucky enough to win the lottery, but in many cases this is not the case, and instead those people not only keep gambling but now they begin to spend their fortune in all kind of useless luxuries, only to find themselves eventually facing financial ruin.

Things that are really hard to control,

And addiction in gambling is one thing that's hard to control. So, kudos to those that were able to overcome it and are doing fine right now.

basically when you already feel that pressure to quit better to follow that desire, and never to look
back.

Sometimes it remains a feeling because without further action, that's going to remain as a feeling and you'll never get out of it.
They may say that it's easy and they're able to quit because they've done a lot of things. And that's what everyone must do.
When you're going to pressure and push yourself to quit, just do everything what it takes.

[Reatim]

Can you quit gambling if you make a life changing money and never go back to gambling?

the word Quitting stands for two things , to quit aiming to become rich and enjoy gambling , or to continue seek more winning after that luckiest day of life.

it is hypocrite to say that I will completely leave gambling after the win because that memory will always cling in my mind to try or bet again so nope , I will not abandoned gambling but I will put limit time and money each gambling day.

Agree with you because usually, after we get a big win, we will stop gambling while enjoying the results. But our memories will keep returning to that victory so that it makes us want to do it again, and eventually, we return to gambling because we want to win again. And if anyone can stop gambling after getting a win, he should feel grateful because he can earn a lot of money to make ends meet and change his life for the better. But this rarely happens with gambling winners because many keep returning to gambling.

and there is no such thing as completely vanishing from gambling after winning that huge , because indeed that the memories will keep whispering about our luck and will keep looking for it in the future.
yeah maybe in 1-2 months we will hid from our desires but eventually as days passes by, we will come back and gamble once again.

Can you quit gambling if you make a life changing money and never go back to gambling?

Quitting gambling can be a difficult decision for active gamblers especially when they have just made a lot of money. It is very difficult to control desire when the urge to play has grown, this is the same as active smokers or alcoholics, they will feel uneasy before their desire is channeled.
Few people are able to control themselves to quit a habit that has become a routine in their life. Some people gamble not only because of the prospect of winning, there are many motivations for the habits they often do, one of which is because they are buying entertainment for themselves after doing boring activities elsewhere.

Every day, we make decisions, and when it comes to gambling, we need to make sure we're on an appropriate course. It diminishes the majority of our decisions; we would establish principles and disciplinary measures, and we would be the ones who would be adamant about them and quickly break them without hesitation. Quitting gambling is never an easy exertion; it usually takes a month or even years for one to truly see and accept the fact that he or she is an addict; if they do not admit the fact on time, they will suffer financial instability and significant financial harm.

That's right, that means we can enjoy the victory's results properly. What's important is that we can use the winnings instead of even using the winning money to gamble again, where we don't know what the results will be. Or we can set aside a small portion of the winning money to gamble so that the money can be added to our gambling capital. That will allow us to gamble longer, and maybe it can give us another win. But what is clear is that we must be able to regulate gambling so that we can easily get out or stop gambling at any time.

Some people gamble not only because of the prospect of winning, there are many motivations for the habits they often do, one of which is because they are buying entertainment for themselves after doing boring activities elsewhere.

There are a few factors that are important when it comes to quit our gambling career. First of all, how long have we been gambling? For people like me who are used to gambling for several years it's going to be much harder, than for someone who only gambled for a few months. Once gambling becomes part of your weeky habits it will be hard to change it again. Another factor is going to be how much spare time do we have. Let's say we become a millionaire and stop working completely, then we have so much free time every day and don't know what to do with it. It's going to be much hard to stay away from the casinos then. A good thing about life changing wealth coming from gambling is that we don't have any pressure anymore to win big in gambling. Once we are rich there is no need to bet big anymore. I think that my approach would be to still keep gambling and only bet very small amounts. Like that the risk of losing all my winnings again is fairly small and I still can enjoy the excitment of gambling.

Putting a pressure by means of doing other activities or stay away from any forms of gambling, if possible, to change your routine and
ask some favor with your love ones to monitor you. I mean, to keep an eye on helping you not to think of any gambling activities that will surely attract you to regain the interest of playing back.

Those are things that you can accomplish if you are serious about quitting, if you are already engaging too much to the point that you already suffer a lot.

While in theory a strategy like that would work, this is difficult to put into practice, and this is because of something called lifestyle inflation, so if at some point on your life you were fine to make a one dollar bet and that was enough to bring you the thrill that you were looking for, once you become rich you will need to make a one hundred dollar bet in order to get the same kind of excitement, and as such you will have no other option but leave gambling behind completely as it no longer satisfies your entertainment needs, or you will increase your betting size until you can feel the same fun as before.

[LUCKMCFLY]

As someone who is not a gambling enthusiast, I can assert that quitting gambling can be remarkably straightforward. Merely stepping out of the confines of my home and engaging with others allows me to break free from the clutches of betting. However, if I were someone of substantial wealth, the more discretionary funds I possess, the greater influence it has on my inclination towards gambling. Naturally, my disposition towards indulging in gambling depends on the circumstances surrounding me. If there are alternative activities that can divert my attention and prevent me from gambling, I would gladly abstain from it.

A person who gambles or does not gamble too much should have other activities to block his thoughts about gambling. This helps a person overcome the urge to gamble to determine when they will gamble and when to stop gambling. And even though you don't have a lot of money, you can calmly play and stop gambling, especially if you are very rich with lots of activities. It will make you feel and think that you really value time so that when you are gambling, you won't be gambling for too long because you have other activities that you have to do. We see that quitting gambling is easy but not for others. So those who see quitting gambling as difficult must be able to study hard to get out of gambling easily.

it would be easier to have other alternatives to vent his addiction to have fun in other ways. I mean like when I run out of my gambling budget I will play video games that make me forget the thought of gambling.
maybe this method is not very guaranteed, but I have done it myself and feel that video games can be an alternative to slowly forget about gambling.

Well, that's a great alternative, because you can have a lot of opportunity to do things, as you say play Play, play other types of games, even table games, which are also fun and you can enjoy a lot, of course there is the option where you can play by making bets, but that must be avoided, in video games like on PS5 you can also make some bets, so everything like this tends towards that world, because it is obviously more exciting, although I have said several times that a person who has a problem of giving up any type of vice is that they are dedicated to a strong Sport , such as cycling, swimming, soccer, something that comes home very tired to sleep.

I say about this type of sports because obviously when the body begins to affect other processes, and it is clear that when the body gets tired the mind also, it is not easy to start doing something when the body is tired, so this type of activity turns out to be very beneficial, also mental health changes better when doing sports, and even the immune system itself is strengthened by practicing sports, in fact, in the pandemic so much was sought to raise the immune system, than those people who went out They went jogging, running every day, they did not get covid-19, this means that sport helps in every way, which is very beneficial when there are addiction problems.

Of course there are also the different options of going to a treatment with a psychologist, or with any other type of professional help that is also welcome, this according to the preference of the person, but personally I am inclined when there is an addiction problem to tire the body so that it does not feel like going into temptation.

Yes, quitting is still possible because many have done that in the past and those that struggles to quit and still gambles have their own will of quitting.
Sometimes it's all on them and that makes them harder for them to quit because it doesn't make sense to them. They're too vocal on quitting and yet they're not doing something and not even forcing themselves to do it.
It must be them to do the initiation in quitting and limit what they're up to as they try to quit.
