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

[MAAManda]

You are right, gambling addiction is a very serious problem for many people, one of the main factors is the desire to make a profit, and also the desire to get back money from losses, and unfortunately, almost all gamblers can't recover their losses.

Regarding how to stop gambling, I think it's very difficult to do alone, you need encouragement from friends or family, or the right choice is to ask for help at a service that provides services to stop gambling, here is one that I feel can be trusted : https://thegamblingclinic.com

Quitting in gambling needs more support to those people around the addict because if the addict alone he cannot leave gambling easily because it will needs more comfort and he needs people to understand with him and when every he goes he needs a buddy in order to successfully quit in gambling. Also by the help by himself of course because if he will not help himself then all the efforts by his family will be useless.

Help from people around is a real thing to help addicts get rid of addiction, like he can get encouragement to do other activities that can keep him busy, so he doesn't have time to play gambling, or at least reduce his intensity to play. Regarding your last statement, maybe what you mean is that the only way to stop gambling is comes from self-will, right?

Why would someone want to quit gambling when what he derived from it is money and pleasure, but it becomes a different case when these two aren't achieved anymore and the gambler gets frustrated to the point of being in debt and concluded on quitting or advised to quit, this shouldn't be, in cases like this, there's a need for proper reorientation for him to understand what he has left behind which is part of what's affecting him from moving forward with his gambling experience, the more he may wanted to quit the harder and difficult it then becomes because he would have already been used to gambling despite being not pleased with what he had.

Yes bro, it's true that the more we make efforts to quit gambling, the more difficult it will be to avoid gambling because gambling is like a part of his life or like a place to fill his spare time.
Actually it doesn't matter if someone doesn't quite gambling or doesn't stop gambling, the most important thing is to always be responsible and consistent with every bet he makes.
Because if you don't you will become an addict and it will be harder to quit

[Onyeeze]

Gambling is not bad but I will advice not to be addicted in gambling, but I can't advice someone to quit from gambling because gambling we use gambling as fun and as a relax, but giving an advice to stop gambling is very bad, I have said it before that gambling is very good because at a point it uplift some lucky people and eliminate poverty in their home, I believe that in gambling you can profit and you can lose also, one thing in gambling is that you should not take it to heart

For everything in life there's always a point you will have to advise yourself that it is time to quit. And as a gambler if you ain't getting the two derivative as mentioned by doan9269 no matter whatever tactics and skills you've employed then quiting would be a wise alternative. Just like trading, gambling is not for everyone, the funny thing is some people don't even know why they got into gambling in the first place and that's why majority of them easily sink into addiction.

If I am used to contributing or doing different things that have to do with the game, it is difficult to stop doing it all of a sudden, I would say that it is not possible, because it is difficult, what I would do would be to wait, to do other activities that consume me more time than in the game if I have that type of activity it is the only way to stop betting on something like that, but for the rest I see no other option, because we will always be betting and betting and seeing how we continue in our fun, but to stop betting we have to do other things, where we are busy mentally and hopefully physically, but this is good to do when we know that things have Gotten out of control.

This condition happened to my neighbor, he get a support to stop gambling from all of his family.But it seems that the addiction that he experienced was too strong and make him failed to stop gambling. Now I don't hear about him anymore, because since last year he has gone to work abroad. However, the last time from what his parents explained to me, he still had trouble stopping gambling.

The guy wasn't able to control his urge to gamble and the family let him go abroad to work so that he earns money and use it all in gambling, that's a great solution indeed. They shouldn't have let him go until he was completely okay and has left gambling, he would obviously not be able to get rid of it when he is away from the family, living alone with no one around to even care about what he does and what he doesn't, he would definitely gamble in such a situation.

Supporting someone when they are in trouble is a good thing, but then leaving them hanging if they can't grasp the changes isn't really an ideal thing to do, the support should be continued and the person should be kept around to see if there are any changes found or not.

Gambling is not bad but being deeply addicted to gambling is the biggest stress. When a person starts gambling he bets with fun and after winning a few bets his greed starts working. I will not invite anyone to gamble who will make his future dark by gambling. I have noticed some gamblers who have made their lives addicted to gambling. I think it is never possible for an addicted person to gamble to the detriment of their family. There are some people who can make good money by gambling but most of the gamblers lose their money. But if I were to advise anyone moving forward, it would be to avoid gambling. Gambling never improves life if addicted to it only loses money so gambling is good but not always. I gamble occasionally for fun and I do it for military time so my advice is not to get addicted to gambling.

Quiting is very hard, I haven't seen anything in this world that's easy to quit, everything is hard to quit and when you get addicted to that thing it becomes harder, gambling is one of those things. People want to quit to gamble because it's destroying their lifes and want out.

Many gamblers aren't getting pleasure neither are they getting money, they just keep on losing whenever they gambler but because they're addicted they keep playing and some others don't have other options but to continue playing hoping one day they'll win like others.

For some gamblers quiting is the only way out because trying to manage them is a waste of time as they have gotten too deep that it'll be hard to try to get them to minimize the way they gamble or the money they waste on gambling every time they decide to gamble.

First and foremost, I don’t see quitting gambling is reasonable if you are just an occasional gambler. As long as you can still manage your finances well and you have your own stable job to support your gambling activity, then gambling at your own risk is still valid enough. However, for those who are gambling using borrowed funds since they don’t have any spare money for gambling, then it’s a good advice to quit gambling for good. Otherwise, they’ll end up being homeless trying their luck again and again. But the problem is these kind of people find it hard to quit from gambling, especially if they are gambling to provide their family needs. Though the best advice is just to quit and find stable job to make ends meet, but you can’t just force people to quit gambling easily especially if they’re not completely convinced to leave gambling for good.

I think I have to agree with you, quiting gambling is very easy for those who are working, or have a business where they are generating income from, since it's understood that majority of those who are into gambling are doing so  for the win/reward, so when a working class or a business owner quits gambling, he or she can easily fall back to their salary or profits from their business.

But for those who have nothing doing, and are into gambling, it is hard for them to quit gambling even when they really need to save themselves from rising debt, they hardly quit because if they do, there is nothing else to fall back on, morning, day and night, it's gambling on their mind since that has been acting as their only source of income..

So the best advice for such type of people is, if really it is certain that gambling is about destroying their life, then first is to look for a job, focus on that Job and leave gambling for a while, they can always come back when they are in a much better status financially.

[Peanutswar]

It's easy to say and its to do it, some people want to quitting gambling in some point they win already a large amount that copes all their losses and another is keep hoping that they will make a profit the same with the option one but does not as they wish but seems impossible to happen which is not always as happen. If you can stop playing gambling and have a control to your self that you wasted a lot of opportunities and assets and even life balance ideal to quit. But if you are a rich person have a good cash flow seems playing will be just a cents to you. All depends on the person and it's status.

Those who have established careers or enterprises have something to fall back on when they decide to stop gambling. The problem you highlight is the trap that jobless gamblers find themselves in. It's a vicious cycle: they gamble because they're unemployed, yet they can't find work because they can't afford to stop. Because of this, your suggestions are good. They need to prioritise securing employment. But the concept of "coming back to gambling" is beyond my comprehension. Even if a person's financial situation improves, it's usually not a smart idea for an addict to return. It's like asking an ex-drinker to go back to drinking because they're feeling better about themselves. It just doesn't work, you know what I mean?

[Juse14]

For me personally, breaking away from gambling is rather difficult, moreover, I get pleasure from it by achieving several wins, coupled with online gambling notifications that always appear on my cellphone, making it increasingly difficult for me to stop playing gambling.

I think gambling addiction is not so bad if we can control the addiction. Because gambling can be bad and harm you when you can't control yourself, playing without thinking about strategy and playing without controlling your finances will only lead you to misery.

If you can control your gambling habits, basically it’s not addiction. Gambling addiction is the ability to not able to control your desire in doing gambling. If you can control your self everytime, I personally think you are doing fine in gambling. Gambling is enjoyable of course and that’s why there are many people who likes to do gamble but I agree to your that the more pleasure you get from doing gambling is the harder it gets to stop playing.

In terms of valid reasoning, if you can control yourself and you are just doing it to kill some time and you are capable of stopping any time then it's just an entertainment type of participation but if you are already in the point where you can't control yourself and you are always eager to play / gamble, chances that addiction is already present and the after effect are things that you don't expect that you might do.

Better to understand the risk behind gambling and if you can still avoid or control yourself, it's good for you to stay aware and never to
put your guards down, gambling is addicting,, so it's on you if how you will treat it and how you will go to control everything.

i am interested in your sentence that i put in bold.  have you never heard of a rich man falling into poverty overnight at the gambling table?

Becoming a gambling addict is a nightmare for many people.  Those who are infected with the virus instantly turn into someone who doesn't care about anything, not even their family, their minds are filled with the ambition to win.  It's not easy to cure gambling addicts, many cases happened.  So before you turn into a gambling addict, you must first understand your real goal of gambling, if it's only to chase money then you make a big mistake, you will never win it, you should immediately stop or reduce the intensity of your gambling.

Aren't you contradicting yourself here! First, you said it's OK if his family let him go away then you said they shouldn't have done so because he will lack family support and he will continue gambling.
Maybe I interpreted your comment wrongly, anyway, in my onion, a gambling a gambling addict needs to stay close to his family and keep close contact with them. Your family/relatives will always support you and guide you to the right path, so, never lose contact with them.

Like I said in one of my previous comment, not sure if it's one this thread, but I did say that gambling addiction is of many stages, the stage at which the gamblers addiction is, will very much determine or play the role of how easy or hard it can be to quit gambling and free one self from that addiction..

Quiting gambling after being tormented by addiction all start by strong self will to stop, then the level of stage of addiction will tell if strong self will is able to carry the gambler and keep him or her away from gambling, or will require the help of a relation or relative, or maybe a professional medical personnel for a medical help.

If all addictions depend on the ability to control them, then they should not be called bad addictions at all. Gambling is not a bad addiction for many people who are addicted to gambling and have the ability to control it. There are many people who become addicted to gambling and harm many socially and he becomes addicted to gambling in such a way that it becomes one of the causes of turmoil in his family. In this case, it becomes very difficult to control the gambler and bring him out of gambling addiction. However, gambling cannot be a bad profession if it does not have bad social effects.
