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.

Gamblers, don't you think they desire to succeed? The overall "happiness buzz" is genuine. But it's also a large, noisy, shiny trap. But is it really only a matter of winning and losing?

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.

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.

    -    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.

The main thing that you should be wary is on the time that you would really be making yourself that still able to handle yourself in terms of perception and in terms of money management on which you arent compromising
your time and finances on dealing with it on which this is something that i could consider that you are still just doing fine on doing gambling.Its true that there's no need to quit if you are really that able to handle your gambling activity and not compromising your finances which this is the most important thing of all. Never ever consider yourself on trying out to mind on becoming rich with gambling because on having this kind of thought
on your mind will definitely be pushing you up on a certain situation on which it would really be making yourself that able to get addicted. This is the time that you would really be finding yourself on a situation on which
getting out or getting rid of addiction is something that wont be simple but actually if you are really that able to control yourself and mind then i dont really see any possible issues.

The game is one of the things that we can reset at any time, stop playing suddenly, can't we? I say not to stop these things Suddenly , because obviously they are the possible addictions that a player has, in the case of doing something to be able to help in not playing anymore , it would be to get treatment with a psychologist, or be in contact with a group of friends where they invent it to do field work or going out to travel, keeping your mind occupied with things that are not related to playing in a casino , but locking yourself in a house, receiving advice from a psychologist is not the way out at all , that is time, it is not at Once to overcome.

I think it can be both the appealing characteristics of the game, mixed with the tiny posibility of earning money out of it.

If the game is well designed and is fun by itself, there will be people who play it even if there was not money involved, it happened to me back in the day with a game called "Pokemon leaf green", within the game there was a city which had a casino where you could play slots. There was a time I would spend several hours playing slots in that mini game, gambling fake money for fun. It is a good example of how design can hook you up without the thrill of being wagering actual money.

The economical factor of it can make it all more addictive, blending itself with the fun factor.

Those who are not bound to gambling because of addiction can always stop anytime they wanted but of course they can always go back as they pleases.  Gambling is just an activity to have fun, we don't have any responsibility or obligation to have a continuous engagement with any gambling platform unless we wanted to have fun using their services.

We should not take gambling as a regular means of entertainment since we will find ourselves hooked on it one day.  We should diversify our mode of getting entertainment, this way we can be protecting ourselves from possible addiction or excessive engagement.

You made your point and i think I agree with you though, quitting or becoming free from gambling addiction can be really easy or hard, all depends on how the victim decides to approach the situation, and for such, i agree with you on going with friends to somewhere like camping or just doing anything that occupies the mind of the victim, but also adding a psychologist to this can really help, considering the fact that casinos are no longer just based offline, so for a gambling addict who have accounts on different casinos online, he or she might manage to escape from gambling by associating with friends all through the day, but what about in the night when the victim is alone, laying down and having his mind run through many stuff, its very possible that the idea to gamble might come in at that time and he or she will end up doing that which he was running from the whole day..

So as much as hanging around friends can help keep ones mind occupied to not consider gambling when the person is trying to quit, having a psychologist around just incase, isnt such a bad idea after all.

If heavy addiction already inside I guess seeking for professional help is badly needed, together with your self-will and the presence of your love ones who are willing to help you in order to quit away, there's always solution if the gambler itself is the one who wanted to solve the problem, but if you are not willing or if the gambler is not willing and continue to think that they are doing it simply for fun, that's another thing that needed to address, it's tough to quit but it doesn't imply that it's impossible to do it.

You can with your self-will and that idea of keeping yourself busy is also a good way if not the best way that can help you to keep yourself busy and to lessen up to avoid in thinking any form of gambling you know.

The same advice is given when someone decides to stop smoking. And it is good advice. The only thing i want to mark - the gambler mustn`t begin doing something when he is thinking about gambling. The best way is to find a new hobby and be really interested in it. And of course his friends and family must help him. If someone has problems with gambling - often he can`t stop without help.

I agree with finding new hobbies unrelated to gambling or saying no money in those hobbies. And I think there are a lot of things we can do that don't use money and we just have to find them. Once we find it and like it, we will continue and slowly, we will not think about gambling so we can start gambling less and even leave gambling. We can ask friends and family to help us find new hobbies so they can also get involved in helping us.

In my opinion, the difficulty of getting out of the state when the player is constantly haunted by the idea that it is worth playing more and more and maybe even win back what was lost, and even better to win a lot and be finally satisfied, is very, very big. 
Simply for the reason that regardless of our current thoughts, this thought itself and often comes to mind and haunts the player.  Indeed, if a player is a rather smart person, then he understands perfectly well that any new hobby or hobby that other people offer him is done precisely in order to distract him from gambling.  And this immediately reduces the effectiveness of such attempts to distract him.  Here, according to my prescription, there can only be healing over a rather long period of time.  The longer the player does not play, the less thoughts about the game visit his head and it becomes easier to resist. 
And of course, it’s great if, after all, a new hobby, not as destructive as a painful passion for gambling at the level of gambling addiction, replaces his thoughts and directs his actions towards creating something new and interesting for him.

The main idea is to be really interested in the new hobby. I don`t sure that if someone will offer any hobby it would be interesting for the gambler. He must try until he really like it. In all other situations the gambler will feel that he lies himself. I don`t sure that it will take a lot of time, but anyway if he has such a problem - it would be difficult.

Maybe it's true if we have to find a new hobby like you said, then this will be very useful for those who are already addicted to gambling, but in the process they are carrying out their new hobby of course there must be support from the people closest to them this will be more good for those who are struggling with their bad habits. After they have no desire to gamble anymore, it is better for them to avoid all games that bring them closer to their bad habits that they have left behind.

Many times if you have a roommate who is addicted to gambling, he will tell you about his hobby. And you might start copying all that and you'll want to gamble like him. If you get stuck in gambling to implement this hobby then it will definitely become difficult for you. Because a person who is addicted to gambling cannot come out easily, it takes a long time to quit gambling. If you have become such a habit that not a day goes by without your gambling then you must be strongly addicted to gambling. So I think gambling should never be done to fulfill this kind of hobby because gambling will never lead to good but it will lead to an addiction. So avoid gambling and never do such a habit to become addicted to gambling.

Hobbies are a great help for those who want to leave the game and thus avoid continuing in a vicious circle, it is not bad to do other things that are different from the game, when we see somewhere that things are quite hard with him casino and if you lose money, we have to buy compulsorily, it is something that must be done to take care of ourselves, especially so as not to be left with nothing, it is an obligation to do so because otherwise we will lose our money and then neither to play nor to buy the things that we need, and living with loans is not ideal, because how will it be paid later, and if the work that is done is not enough to meet expectations, you must work Twice as hard or with another job.

After they have no desire to gamble anymore, it is better for them to avoid all games that bring them closer to their bad habits that they have left behind.

Actually, even if someone finds a new hobby, there will be a time when he will eventually go back to his gambling addiction. And because no hobby in the world is going to give mental leisure for a long enough period of time to create something for which you picked up the hobby. In short, a hobby is most probably not going to entertain you for the whole life. The sole and genuine approach to overcoming an addiction is to acknowledge its detrimental effects, which likely prompted the desire to cease, and recognize that prioritizing one's obligations over personal preferences holds greater significance.

Is there going to be a certain time when you would really want to put a little bit of money on a horse just to see what happens? Yes and as long as you are doing that with the money, which you probably can afford to lose for free, you should be alright. But even then, why would you do something like that knowing you might lose the money for nothing? Just go buy a homeless person some food.

In fact, it's true to say that most people will be influenced by their immediate environment, such as someone who has a gambling friend and is likely to get carried away. Some say that this is an expensive hobby, it is quite reasonable to say this. True, that someone who has entered gambling then they will feel something significant in gambling, they will experience a lot of defeat and also some pressure until maybe they are stressed it could be. To be honest I'm not sure if a gambler can get out of the addiction zone easily, it's quite impossible for me because I've felt it. It is very difficult to get out of gambling because you will always be haunted by curiosity at all times, and your mind will continue to lead you to victory. Everyone has their own path in gambling and also in their journey to get out of this zone.
I think very few of them can eventually stop gambling completely.

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.

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.

Can I say that the remedy of gambling addiction is to give the victim money. Because in gambling, what they are chasing is money and if the money is given them, they will.stop gambling. On a second thought, I might be wrong, it could be that if money is given the addict, he will use it to increase his gambling power.
This thing seems that it needs a specialist to handle them, anyone who has not handle an addict before may not be able to handle a fresh case. But we know that an addict will only change when they truly wish to or have seen the reasons to.

This is a bad idea because giving a gambling addicts money is like fueling his addictions and this is a bad trap for the addict,  because most of the gambling addicts have moved from the level of chasing the money into something that is beyond ordinary explanation since we can't really tell what their reasons are some time.

But saying more money most especially gifts will make a gambling addict quite gambling,  I don't think so,  and we should look for more suitable solutions instead of placing more traps for the addict who is trying to breakaway from their addictions.

I don`t think that it is necessary. The main problem is in the head. The gambler must understand that gambling is awful for him. And if his friend is a gambler it doesn`t mean that he must stop it to.
I stopped smoking several years ago. Today i can smoke 1 or 2 cigarettes, can easily stay with the smokers and don`t feel any discomfort. The gambler who decided to stop must feel something about it i think.

Yes you're right not only fueling the addiction but helping them in making the wrong decisions which is a very bad idea, it's not even advisable for friends or family to keep valuable items around them because they could be forced to steal it just to satisfy their addictions.
 The best possible solutions I could think of taking them to a  rehabilitation center if their case is very severe or visiting a therapist at early stages because preaching to them yourself could cause some provocations that would hinder them from listening to your advice, it is a very bad thing for good to take gambling as a hobby because it not something you could easily go out from.

It's true that there's no need for us to forbid them to gamble because if they themselves don't want to stop then there's no point in us advising them to stop, because everyone has responsibility for themselves. As you said, if we have stopped, of course it will have a good impact and we can save money for us to use other things that are more useful for us.

[CODE200]

The simple answer is YES it's easy if you're just doing it for fun and entertainment, and NO if you become addicted to it. In fact, for those people who have serious addiction to gambling has to seek professional help like visiting a therapist. So if you find yourself in this situation, better to seek help or support from your family or friends, or find a new entertainment for you to keep away from coming back to gambling.

I have different opinion here. It’s very hard to quit on gambling if you are using it for fun and entertainment because it means that you are getting positive outcome in there with profit or personal satisfaction. It’s very hard to quit on something that you are enjoying already. The only time it’s very easy to quit on gambling is when you are already bored and scared at the same time because that’s not for fun purposes already.

When in addiction and having fun is same level for me on how hook you are on gambling. I’m not an addicted gambler it’s very hard for me to quit completely on ga,bling because I enjoy playing even I’m doing it casually during my free time from work.
