Quit gamble! Easy or Hard? Let's talk.

[Flexystar]

I am not quitting gambling because I am simply not addicted to it. If someone is going far from the base to quit the gambling then there is definitely something wrong with their routine when it comes to gambling. Only addicted person need to quit the gambling. I am fun taker, I love gambling because I love to play slots, I love to play the poker on Friday night with my friends and much more. It is not all about money all the time. Yes these games are played with money and that’s where we gamble everything.  Sometimes it’s winning and sometimes it’s loosing. I think both ways shall be accepted by true gambler. No need to go that far and just quit such thrilling side of the games.

This sums up about minding our own stuff. If people do gamble for fun, those that are doing it for income wouldn't have a thing for those that does it for fun and vice versa.

You can't force people to stop what they've been doing for a long time just to enforce your thought and thinking.

Again we can't force any to stop gamble but we can and should advise them to quit gambling if it is hurting them or if we know anyone who is addicted to gambling.

Yup, advising is normal and it's up to them if they'll listen to us. If there's something wrong, they may not see it and someone has to remind them for that.

People may even get agree to you with that but since we're in a forum, discussions like this are typical and in the end, you only need to think of your own.

Yes of course, if can put ourselves in the scenario, where how we will react if someone asks us to quit gamble, sharing our point of view on this will be helpful to decide if it is easy to quit or not. If we think that we won't stop gambling upon asking other people, why would other people would listen to us and stop the gamble 

Yeah.

You start with yourself before asking other people to stop or tell them what to do. That's why we need to think of ourselves first and so that others won't see anything that will discourage them just because we're advising them.

Why would I quit something that I regularly enjoy but have no problems doing?

It would be quite easy for me to simply quit, since I am not addicted to gambling nor do I have any other hang ups when it comes to it. I understand that there are definitely a lot of people who do have addictions and therefore cannot simply stop their gambling habit, but that is a minority of people.

The better advice for normal gamblers without addictions would be to take careful measures in order to ensure that they do not develop a gambling addiction in the first place, don't you think?

And that is quite easy. All it requires is a bit of discipline and planning.

Because for some people who have an excessive attitude towards gambling it ruins himself and those around him and maybe they want to share experiences, yes you are having good self -control so I also think you don't need to stop your gambling, whenever you want or don't want it You can do it.

For many or few people who are addicted to gambling in my opinion depending on their respective experiences in their environment or the consensus of the experience being encountered, but in my environment there are more addicted people.

Yes, that's a good advice, I also do as you say because we have good awareness and self -control, unlike those who are impulsive in gambling.

You are completely right. The point is that people who can't gamble in a responsible way ends getting themselves in a lot of financial, social and emotional problems, and instead of solving their personal issues, they want everyone else to stop gambling as well, as it was the solution for the problem of a single person who can't handle gambling properly.

It's like the guy who can't have a girlfriend, so he starts hating everyone who has one, as it was an offensive act from others towards him.

Unfortunatelly authorities and regulators fuel this kind of pampered and childish behavior on adults by endorsing their narratives, instead of treating them in a sober way, putting the responsability of their acts over their shoulders. So we have a lot of bans and censorship that shouldn't exist at all.

If you hate gambling that's your decision but I can't figure out why you decide to create a topic on this, are you trying to change the mind of many others? It seems you gamble with the money that you shouldn't have use and you lost it, just accept your defeat and be humble about it, you don't need to hate.

After all no one is forcing you to gamble, it's your own decision, instead of hating it's wiser to figure out what you did wrong, do you even think about the possibility? Next time use what you can afford to lose, your irresponsible way of gambling is what leads to your hate for gambling.

Gambling with what you can afford to lose won't hurt you or makes you become a useless person, have it in mind that there is a higher chance you will lose the money, so limit your amount of money to what you can afford to lose.

You have some very, eh, "original" ideas. You seem to be under the impression that those who don't enjoy gambling are cynical losers. Unfortunately, my dear buddy, things aren't always as simple as you make them out to be. To gamble is not always to lose money or to feel "forced" to do so

Possible explanation: they despise gaming because of the social and economic problems it causes. Like how it can lead to criminal activity, exploitation of the poor, and the promotion of a "get-rich-quick" mentality. Perhaps they've experienced the devastation it causes directly in their own families. A very distinct picture is emerging from my pen, don't you think?

Moreover, in regards to "responsible gambling,"... Sure, that's a line everybody can recognize. But have you ever considered how the boundaries between responsibility and irresponsibility may become hazy in the eyes of an addict? To put it another way: "Hey, you can play with fire, just don't get burned!"

The topic is like OP's sarcasm, why if he hates gambling why does he say if it's hard to quit or not? since i have read everything they have said, it has confused me a bit, because it seems to be something written to be dark humor, or to make fun of people who have had problems with the game, but in very conceptual terms, when it comes to leaving a particular game things are not so easy, if a person takes an addiction it is difficult to quit , responsibility and many things that have personality are quite debatable, but in a healthy sense I could say that quitting is not easy , just You have to stay somewhat away from the game and do other activities to entertain Yourself.

A lot depends on the genes of the parents. You can be very vulnerable to gambling and it will be extremely difficult to get out of it. And for some, on the contrary, it's easy. I was close to starting to lose exponentially, but I stopped in time and ended it more than 5 years ago.

A few days ago I came across a youtube channel in which people tell their real stories about gambling that ruined their lives. I'll probably learn from their mistakes. If someone has a strong addiction, look, this will help you.

Addiction is best handled with caution and learning from other mistakes is also very important,  but the best possible freedom is never to get addicted in the first place because it could become a hard job trying to get out of your addiction and also it is best to learn from others mistake because that way you will avoid the mistake when to confront yours in the long run.
Our level of vulnerability depends on the level of our gambling involvement.

[tjtonmoy]

It might be too late at that point

People and their attitudes vary, so you can't simply say that we should quit gambling, period.
Some people can control themselves and others cannot. Like, if you said someone who's a pro poker player to quit because it's toxic, he'd laugh at you.
It's the same with people like me who bet on sports from time to time. I like MMA and boxing and I sometimes bet to make the game more exciting. I don't do it often, maybe once or twice a month.
My friend buys more beer and snacks, I buy less and use the money to bet. We both have fun our own way.

Simply put, if someone thinks that they are addicted and they need to quit, then they should seek help. But most of the time the one who is addicted, does not know or want to accept that they are addicted. Unless they themselves realize it or people around them tell them about it, they will not understand that they are addicted. At this point, trying to quit gambling will be the best option. Addictions are just habits and hormone releases in our brains. It is never too late to do anything. Change the habit, and replace it with something good. You can quit it easily. But be sure what you are replacing it with will have to be something good. Give it a try and you will know. Dopamine detox is a thing and it is proven by medical science. So it's not that hard.

I do not think that quiting gambling has anything to do with parental genes. Gambling is not hereditary, it is just a socially learnt activity which has no connections with genetic formations.
Op, it is easy to quit gambling when it is not yet addictive. But once it becomes addictive, you will need a high level of discipline and therapy to quit gambling.

Dont know on why people do talk about gambling addiction to be that hereditary on which its true on what you have said that these things had been learnt out due to exposure on stuffs something like this which it

could neither influence someone or not when it comes to this matter. Its true that once addiction would really be happening then it would really be that hard for you to get out and we know that most people would really be that weak when it comes on overcoming things through their mind and emotion and this is why they would really be failing on quitting on the right time.This is why you should really be that wary and really be that having that realistic approach about the reality of gambling that it is really just that for fun and not for making yourself rich.

Once addiction kicks in then it would really be hard to quit or removing it on which you would really be continuing to play no matter what until you do bust up everything.

Quitting gambling is highly connected to discipline. Whatever you do in life without moderation is already cancerous. Your ability to purposely cancel a date, cancel drink with friends, absent from important occasions builds your level of confidence and discipline.
Addiction is never a sudden thing, it is always a gradual process and that is why its cure is also gradual. It is better to learn to avoid addiction than learning to cure it.

Boys. You can't imagine how relax I am when decide to quit gamble. Here is the way. I will stream all my gambling behavior with recording. No stream No gamble. If you are going through the same situation, join me. You will obtain a new life.

I'm not sure I understand what this means. Is your channel showing recorded bets that you made before you quit or did you fall off the wagon already and are streaming your current gambling activity?

Quitting gambling can be hard but if you can find a new hobby that brings you joy then it can be really helpful in overcoming your addiction. There are many activities that can stimulate your brain without causing harm to your finances.

Yes, it all matters on someones mental strength and discipline and we know that each person does have that different level of tolerance when it comes to various things specially on dealing up with something which is

addictive. If you are a type of person on whose not really that much good on controlling emotions and somewhat that too greedy when it comes on making money.Then you would really be finding yourself into much trouble when addiction kicks in. Just like i said that it would really be needing that self realization for everything you do because if you do just let yourself get blinded by greed then most likely you would really be
ending up on getting addicted. Quit gambling? Its not necessary but be sure on doing things moderately or in control because if you dont then you would really be spending so much money into it on which
it comes into a point that its not really that good anymore.

I think it's okay for us to play gambling as long as it doesn't affect our busy lives and destroy our family, friends and relatives, there won't be any problem as far as I can see. Because when we let our personality be ruined by gambling and our family is ruined because of it, that's when we have a bit of a problem for sure that will really lead to bad results in the end.

Indeed it's confusing with Op's post sometimes, but when I re-read again it seems that what he means by quitting gambling is stopping when he has been playing for some time or when he has reached the targeted money limit, so not stopping forever. Whether it is difficult or not to quit gambling really depends on each person, who knows what the focus is in his life will have no difficulty quitting any of his gambling activities.

Agree with you, if anyone is having difficulty quitting gambling, they can do other hobbies so that our minds can be distracted and not just think about always gambling.
But for those who have only played for a short amount of time, there's no need to worry because it means they can still control themselves well and know when to stop and return to playing.

[Mr. Magkaisa]

      -   Well, of course, for gamblers who only think of it as entertainment, it's easy for them. Because gambling isn't a big deal to them, it's just a pastime. But for gamblers who see this as a source of income, I think they will find it difficult to quit, especially if they often win here, let say once a week they win a good amount here.

And the worst scenario is that if a gambler is still addicted, it is very difficult for sure for those addicted to gambling because there is no self-control in gambling.

I think that situations with refusal from gambling in different people can be completely different and a lot depends on the very nature of the person and his strong-willed qualities.  There are such people, in my opinion it can be one person who actively gambles out of 50 approximately the same people who can potentially become a gambler to such an extent that such a passion should already be treated as a mental illness.  Of course, if a person has a lot of free time, he often does not know what to do, then it's time to gamble.  And then, if free time again appears in a person, a reminder of how nicely he played last time, he will definitely try to enjoy it again and return to his favorite game.  I think that each of you who constantly gambles perfectly understands what the attraction of the game is and how sometimes you look forward to the opportunity to play. 
But the main thing, of course, is not to be one of the 50 people for whom gambling turns into trouble, and not only for him, but for his entire family!

Also the environment need to consider since whatever efforts done by a person who's been addicted to much on gambling he cannot stop easily if his friends or there are place where he can easily access to those games. Maybe changing some place could be more effective and also the help of his family then maybe from that they can go away on situation where they are financially suffering. Willingness to quit is important and also it needs cooperation to the family and yourself so that they can succeed on what are those things they like to happen.

Well, most of the gambling addicts are made up of those for take gambling as means of having entertainment and at some point since those who are gambling for the money will easily quit when they run out of money since it is all about the money for them,  unlike the person playing for the fun,  he or she will see the money as just a means to gamble more and he does not care whether he lose or win the ultimate thing for him is fun.

So that can lead the player into addictions in the long run.
