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

[Onyeeze]

It all depends on the individual. It's Really Hard to Quit Gambling. For successful completion, it is necessary to replace gambling with something - for example, go fishing

I have given some instant or example before in this thread on how to quit gambling and if someone takes gambling very serious that will make them person to be addicted in gambling, so to restrict someone not to participate in gambling that means you make sure the person is receiving a weakly funds from other angle, because what makes people to gamble seriously is because all their mindset is in gambling and they that will lead them to continue to be losing because of they will be interested in recovering all their funds they lose, so quiting from gambling have be achieve by having a serious job, that will limit a gambler not to participate fully in gambling

Whether we are just casual gamblers or not but in the moment that we are losing control of our gambling habits, the closest we will fall into addiction. And once we are into addiction, that can be pretty hard to stop. If we wanted not to fall into this situation, then we must not gamble in the first place. Because spending time gambling will lead to something that will influence our minds which might control our actions. Now that gambling is already available only, the more it gives us too hard to separate from the world of gambling or the best option is to stay in a place that has no internet.

It's somebody who don't want stop gambling will give further excuses of gambling, so from my understanding we can gamble any time and any hours we feel like gambling and when doing that it will turn addict and turning to addiction It's also controllable, what I want you to understand in this, is that, if someone who is a smoker can desist from smoking so what will it take someone who is in gambler to stop gambling, this is all about choice and mindset in gambling, because I know that gambling have to deals with different spirits and mostly when we are addicted in gambling.

Whether we are losing or profiting from casino games, we should always find a way to upgrade our skills so that we can earn more from gambling. The aim of creating a casino by the owner is to make money why(while) the aim of a gambler using a casino is also to make profits so this is two different reasons why people launch there own casino and gambler.

Yup! both casino owners and gamblers have that same intentions, both wanted to have some slice of that money, and you are right in that point that if your intention is to make money you needed to continue upgrading your strategy, same deal with casinos if they wanted to keep their business they need also to keep updating in terms of promotions and advertising strategy while with gamblers they needed to keep adjusting with strategy and patterns that might work to let them win while playing/betting.

For us to either be a winning gamblers or a profitable casino owner, we need to update our strategies so that the reason why we decided to enter the gambling industry will be more of an achievement for us. The one will greater force will tend to be a consistent winner whether you will today and lose tomorrow. It is always good for us to be at one side frequently to achieve our objectives.

And most of the time, it is the casino owners/providers that will take that big edge, something that as responsible gambler needs to understand so they won't have that heavy thought not to quit and stop, gambling without a control will surely lead you to a big problem.
It's something that needs to address before it's too late.

Self-will, that's what you need even it's hard but surely it is doable if you are really intending to stop something, even you are already into addicting part with self-will you will find ways to move on and quit away, there are always people who can help if you really in need or really seeking to stop, just need to start from you and that burning desire to completely quit from your addiction matters, small step is better than doing nothing at all.

Well, casino owners are keep on upgrading their marketing plan in order to lure more gamblers into their platform.  But sadly gamblers can't get hold of a strategy where they can have a better profit when engaging in gambling activities.  All the gamblers can do is just to limit and moderate their gambling engagement in order to minimize their losses or maximize their wins if they happen to be lucky to get huge amount of winnings.

For us to either be a winning gamblers or a profitable casino owner, we need to update our strategies so that the reason why we decided to enter the gambling industry will be more of an achievement for us.

True that, the house edge is the biggest handicapped of a player while it gives a great advantage to the casino owners. Reason why if we happen to win a good amount of money, we should decide to stop our session and withdraw that winnings because if we continue, there is a huge chance that the casino can take it back together with our bankroll fund.

Self-will, that's what you need even it's hard but surely it is doable if you are really intending to stop something, even you are already into addicting part with self-will you will find ways to move on and quit away, there are always people who can help if you really in need or really seeking to stop, just need to start from you and that burning desire to completely quit from your addiction matters, small step is better than doing nothing at all.

It will take a very strong will to overcome temptation if a player is already an addicted gambler because gambling addiction takes away that self control and the uncontrollable urge oftens nullify our self-restraint so it is really needed to have a very strong will to counter the urge of gambling addiction.

I've been following this thread, and it's heartening to see the thoughtful discussions around the challenges of quitting gambling. It's evident from last messages that overcoming this addiction is not a simple task, but it's not impossible either.

It's evident that the path to quitting gambling is a challenging one, filled with ups and downs. Nevertheless, with support, determination, and understanding, it's possible to make progress and embrace a life free from the clutches of addiction.

If you or someone you know is struggling with gambling addiction, remember that seeking professional help and being part of a supportive community can make all the difference. Together, you or they can encourage one another on this journey towards a better, gamble-free life.

Stay strong and positive!

No task is impossible in human life because when a person is determined to do a task, the hidden power within his mind helps to complete that impossible task.
Gambling is a tough challenge, getting rid of this intense challenge is not easy but not impossible either. A person addicted to gambling can get rid of this difficult challenge with the help of his family, loved ones, circle of good friends.

It is possible and indeed one of the solutions that can be done, adding new hobbies or new activities will be able to distract the mind of a gambler. I think they are better off just getting a job, meaning they have to get a job that they can't leave, so indirectly it is true that in the end it is less likely for them to remember their gambling again. Everyone wants and needs money, and gambling allows them to get it but at a high risk. So, it's hard to take your eyes off someone who is already addicted to gambling. They need strong determination and help from the people around them, including family.

Getting a job is a solution, but as long as they haven't been able to leave gambling voluntarily, they may return to the casinos because they can already get a salary every week or month. This might exacerbate their situation, where their salary can be used up for gambling if no one manages their salary money. And it is true that stopping gambling addiction requires strong determination and help from the people around him; in this case, the family must help cure gambling addiction.

Lately I often hear the words of some gambling addicts, they say that they can get income from gambling to support their families. This is an unhealthy statement in my opinion, how can they get a consistent income just by luck, it's impossible. It is very difficult if the gambling addicts want to quit, although they feel like quitting but it is difficult for them, lust and curiosity always come to them every time, so it is almost impossible for them to overcome it on their own. I agree, and indeed they really need help from the people around them to be able to stop, there will be a lot of advice they will get and the role of both parents is very important here. So the point is they have to be sincere in their intention to quit and with help from others too, I'm sure it will bring results.

Yes, that is an unhealthy statement because they rely on gambling for income. They should be able to think that gambling will not always pay off and they are better off just looking for a job than depending on gambling to make money. They will even experience gambling addiction which may be very difficult to cure, especially since they play gambling for too long just because they want to get a lot of money. They must intend to stop gambling and try to cure their gambling addiction by asking for help from the people around them.

Also prepare yourself by trying to understand the various harmful aspects of gambling addiction. Some gamblers who do not have a problem at the moment but are suspected of becoming addicted in the future can take steps to control themselves. This includes setting limits on gambling apart from this, determining the amount of money spent on gambling can also be a good step in this case. Instead of changing this habit, you have to prepare yourself by analyzing the harmful effects-symptoms or the reasons behind it. As the demand is at a level where self-restraint is difficult, it is necessary to seek the help of a professional or professionals.

Some people are open to everyone with their gambling activity and some of them are not there no much difference because once their mentality focus in gambling and takes too much depression and anxiety due to stress with their gambling addiction they will not have a possible side effects to their body, emotions and decision making. If you want to quit gambling this takes time, some people want to have a rehabilitation because they knew if this still exist with their bare eyes their feeling and guts to have this makes them more suffering. This consist a good treatment and guidance to make succeed reason why there's a support came from parents and friends.

I get your point @ Peanutswar, another thing is that ignorance have made most people fail to realise their excessive gambling habits and before they realises it becomes to late and they become addicts some times people would really love to change from it but the same and guilt or sometimes pride won't want to allow them go to the rehabilitation centre to be associated with different type of people like the mentally ill and drug addicts that's why it's very good to encourage friends or family members out of gambling excessively, sometimes frustration from lack of money would want to make people to seek gambling as a better chance of getting quick money, but it is in your best interest to advice them, let them know the harmful effect of gambling addiction and the risk involved and even while you talk to them you do it calmly without being harsh or shouting at them, to help people with excessive gambling habit requires patience and tolerance, before quit an addiction is not very easy and takes a gradual process before the victim change completely, therefore constant support, constant encouragement and regular visits to a therapist would really go a long way to help gambling addicts recover from it.

what becomes difficult is when support when a gambler is actually in the environment where he is. but I agree with you, even support from family will be important for gamblers to start reducing or even quit gambling. this is difficult but not impossible.
if you want to get out of gambling, maybe someone needs to get closer to his religion. looking for a tiring occupation may also work for some gamblers to start reducing their activities.
actually, I don't really see any gambling addict who actually got out of gambling other than bankruptcy which changed their life for the worse.

Gambling, yeah, some people show it all, some hide it all. Doesnt matter too much; its the addiction, right? A thing thats the same for both. Stress, anxiety, depression... You nailed it; its all a part of this whole gamble thingy. The body, the feelings, the way they decide stuff, all messed up!

Quit it? Not so easy, buddy. Some folks want rehab; some folks dont. Eyes see, feelings feel, guts suffer, yeah? Its all there, as you said. Parents and friends, support and stuff, its all needed. Good treatment, guidance, support, lots of support, and more support, thats what it takes. Keep up the support!

[Fredomago]

It will take a very strong will to overcome temptation if a player is already an addicted gambler because gambling addiction takes away that self control and the uncontrollable urge oftens nullify our self-restraint so it is really needed to have a very strong will to counter the urge of gambling addiction.

Yup, if dealing with addiction only the gambler itself that can do the hard work to prevent himself into gambling, just like you mentioned over coming that temptations that keeps in lingering inside you, it's something that most gamblers especially those who already deeply engage with heavy addictions, it's not easy and it surely a tough battle between your good side and a bad side, just imagine a devil and an angel in your life and right, hahaha just like a scene in a comedy movie way back the 90's

That's how far addicted gambler can suffer, realizing once mistake with a heavy regret after losing a huge amount of money out from this activity, reducing your addiction to the point that you will forcefully carry yourself out from any form of addictions, aid from other people will be useful if the person itself is the one who really seeking for that kind of assistance to bring him out from this heavy addiction.

Yes, you're right, it's not that easy and it's hard to get rid of addiction, that's why everyone in this forum always warns anyone to play responsibly and every time you play gambling there are always risks, so don't gamble too deeply and get addicted because when you become an addict it is very it is difficult to cure it and it is true because many of my friends find it difficult to quit their addiction even though they have encouragement from their families.

Everyone has a decision to stop or not, if an addict finds it difficult to stop it means he doesn't really want to stop, because people who have a high desire to stop gambling will definitely find a way to get out of their addiction even though it also needs the support of those closest to them, including family. therefore, never stop giving warnings to any novice gamblers

    -    Well, supporting by someone who is closest to you is I think the main factor were the gambler is decided to quit will be a big help. It is because their guidance can give encouragement  for the gambler to pursue Him/her to quit  easily.

Because if a gambler wants to quit without anyone to guide or support him, it will be slow or difficult for him to quit immediately without the people close to him to support what he wants of course. Because close people do something different when we want to turn something into something.

It all depends on the level of the addiction of the gambler. If a certain gambler is addicted but in the early and curable stages, they will quickly get out of the addiction with the help of their family and loved ones. But if such a gambler exceeds the early stage of addiction and becomes extremely addicted it will be so difficult for the family to remedy the situation. This is where extreme measures and including the government efforts come to play . If anyone has a family or loved ones, they shouldn't be allowed to.get addicted to the extreme level.

You can't say this, or you don't know the true meaning of addiction? Your body would be willing to stop but the spirit which controls the body would be too powerful for it. It has to do with your state of mind and you can't judge others with yours, some people's state of mind is so weak by nature, it might be difficult for them to take decisive decisions and makes it binding.

This is unlike some that will just wake up one day and decide that they do not want to do a thing anymore and they would abide with it. I fall in this latter category but I will still not judge others with weak minds. They however need regular help.

One can control it if the case is still not serious, but it doesn't mean that it's easy to do; it's still a challenge for that person. On the other hand, if the case is serious, it is most likely necessary to have other people help them too. They will be needing counseling and support from others.

the more addicted a gambler is, the more difficult it will be for him to try to get out of his addiction. it happened to me myself, i started to be less regular in gambling when i was really busy with my work. I spend a fair amount of time at work, and that keeps me from spending too much time at the casino. I'm not really out of gambling, I'm still playing but the intensity is less now due to being busy.
I enjoy the gambling that I do, I also don't expect to get out because it doesn't harm other people around me. perhaps gamblers who want to reduce their gambling activities can start to occupy themselves with other activities. but support from the people around us is also necessary. it's useless when we are still hanging out with fellow gamblers, what will happen is that we will play more often.

[Fortify]

Boys. It is time to quit gamble. I created a topic about taking gambling as a major income or not and fought a lot of kind people who held an opposite point. I own them a truly apology. I am sorry. No matter who you are, gambling is only for fun. Never take it as income at anytime. If you are still gambling, you should quit now. If you cannot quit by yourself, there are so many channels to help you. Even you can talk to me. I will do my best to help you.


Just some chemical reaction happened in my mind today, I get the point at that moment. Gambling for income is totally wrong and toxic for spirit and body. You will never be successful in that way. But I like gamble is still the fact and it will never change if doing nothing. So, why not open a stream and show it to all people who have interest on that. Let me prove how hard or easy to quit gamble. I will only gamble the affordable fund only. Maybe less. I am streaming 24/7. If some software problems disrupt, I will fix that except sleeping time.

Update 1
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.

Like many addictions out there which are not substance based, gambling is much more about the habits formed and somewhat about the endorphin kick that is triggered from winning free money. Like a drug junkie chasing their next high, or to try to get higher than ever before, a gambler is constantly seeking that happiness buzz they get from winning. Casino's build a whole psychology around it, with all the little triggers and prompts when you're playing that reinforce this behaviour so you deposit more.

Most gamblers addicted to gambling have a serious problem because they can't stop thinking about gambling or even stop playing. And as long as they still have money to play, maybe they will just continue gambling until the money is gone. And that required the help of another person who could see how far his gambling addiction had gone. But a person who is addicted to gambling may be able to hide it from others so that others will not be able to see it clearly if they are not really watching the gambler.

    -    Well, supporting by someone who is closest to you is I think the main factor were the gambler is decided to quit will be a big help. It is because their guidance can give encouragement  for the gambler to pursue Him/her to quit  easily.

Because if a gambler wants to quit without anyone to guide or support him, it will be slow or difficult for him to quit immediately without the people close to him to support what he wants of course. Because close people do something different when we want to turn something into something.

Well, first of all, I want to say quitting anything is hard when you are getting pleasure from it. But the problem is just because you are getting pleasure from. It does not mean it is morally right. I personally do not think that it is right to actually gamble with the money which you earn with your hard work.

Of course, if you have $1 billion, you can gamble with $100,000 and not have too much effect on your life, even if you lose the whole hundred thousand dollar. But let’s say you have $10,000 and you need another $10,000 to make a payment. It is going to be a stupid idea to go and gamble with your 10,000 that you currently have trying to make it 20. Same with pleasure. You are thinking that you are gaining some money, not realising that it is probably just beginners luck, you try to go for more and end up losing. And the problem is not realising and accepting the fact that you might not win anymore that day and just take the loss and move on.

And in the end, I will say that it is easy for those to leave anything who are mentally strong. And mind is the only thing that can be controlled. You might need to change the people that you roll with as well.
