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

[DoublerHunter]

The simple answer is YES it's easy if you're just doing it for fun and entertainment,

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.

^ I think we are all thinking the same way and you are right.
Gamble for fun and entertainment without developing a problematic habit, or probably others may find themselves struggling with addiction, which requires professional help and a concerted effort to overcome. I think if you feel this way the best thing that you can do is to find alternative forms of entertainment and engaging in healthier activities can help redirect focus away from gambling and then come back you are ready and have control over yourself.
Because for me, responsible and recreational gambling can be relatively easy to quit, but for those facing a serious addiction, seeking professional help and building a strong support network are very important steps toward recovery.

I can consider myself to be a gambler but not on the sense that i've been addicted. I've been doing gambling for years but still i could say that im not really that addicted to it.Why? Here's the few things;

1. I can stop anytime i do like
2. I cant stop whether when im winning or losing up all the allocated budget
3. I could simply find out other entertaining things aside from gambling
4. Haven't wrecked out my finances
5. Having balance on decisioning in between responsibilities and leisure times.

You wont really be finding yourself on great trouble if you are really just that sensible on what you are doing and been minding about the probabilities and things that could happen specially on
gambling addiction which it is something that you would be needing to avoid in the first place because once this one shackles into you then you would really be hardly on getting out
because this is something like a rust that would gradually be consuming you if you are not really that good on emotional handling and mind control or being wary on what you are doing.
This is why it would really be important on having that self assessment about your gambling activity condition.

This all goes down to having control.  As long as a person have control on how they will engage in gambling activity, they can be called gambler but not gambling addicts.  I do agree that having control over oneself in gambling will avoid us in lots of troubles.  Moderating our gambling activities will save us lots of troubles in the future.

If one is experiencing a hard time quitting gambling, regardless of the benefits it brings, there is a huge possibility of a gambler getting too hooked and the possibility of gambling addiction is high.  A person in control will never find it hard to stop, moderate, or quit his activities.  Those who are not in control are the one getting the hard time.

Very important to assist them to find ways to quit with gambling, those people who suffer from heavy addictions who really wanted to clear this problem can seek help with the professionals and with the support of their love ones, it's possible that they can cure it as long as the person itself is the one who really wanted to escape from this problem,

Gambling can be enjoyable but if you already exceeding from your limits, the reality will hurt you, knowing that you will lose a lot just because of your engagements that turned into addictions.

Why do you think he is right? He is not.
You should develop your own personality if you want to become a gambler. You do not agree with the post you quoted and what have been said! Why did you quote it?

Sometimes everyone depends on how they use their money to be used, and the bad habits experienced by someone with gambling are very difficult to stop, especially if they are from a group of rich people, even they can spend their money just for gambling, the same like playing women have similarities in controlling lust and addicts, only their money can stop their addiction in terms of gambling, in my opinion it's like that...

Well, For rich, I believe money can't stop their addiction. Because if they're running out of funds, there are other resources where they can get money. Therefore I don't see it as a reason for these rich people to stop what they used to. What I can think of for someone to decide to stop is when he experienced the worst, e.g losing your family, debt, putting life at risk (health and mental problem) etc.

Sometimes if you didn't experience yet to be in the lowest point of your life due to gambling. You will not stop until you experienced the one that can make you change your mind to completely stop your gambling addiction.

[rachael9385]

Quiting of gambling depends on how disciplined the gambler is, it might not be hard for a beginner to quit gambling but it can be too hard for an addict to quit gambling because he's now well addicted to it to the extent that he can borrow money to stake which is so bad, so such a person can't quit gambling even if he's discipline he can't because the life of a gambler have taken over.
Not been a gamble addict is good then playing bets once in awhile is also good too, because such person can easily stop gambling anytime, been disciplined is good, if we are disciplined we can easily restrict our selfs from gambling when ever we noticed that thats not the days of winning for us, when the days of winning comes we shouldn't bet more than what we planned to stake.

[bettercrypto]

We all know that quitting in gambling is not an easy things for the addict gambler, that's one thing I knew 100%. But if you area newbie and very seldom to gamble, well I guess it wouldn't be hard for them to quit.

However, this habit became a routine in the lives of an addict gambler that's a big problem, this need a long process to get rid of it and need a family and friends guidance.

[mak013]

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.

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.

We can only help, but if the gambler don`t want to stop - no one can help him. The main thing the gambler has to do is to make a decision to stop. When i stopped smoking a didn`t ask anyone to stop smoking with me or to smoke in the places i can`t see. It is their decision and they mustn`t change themselves for me. This is the best way for the gambler as for me - no one must change himself to help gambler.

I think that's the main problem in any addiction, once the habits manifest into a routine it's really hard to change it again on your own. Almost anybody has tried in his life to lose weight, stop smoking or drinking, or to exercise more. Already changing such minor things is very hard, breaking free from a gambling addiction will be much harder. The main issue here is that staying in your normal routine of sleeping at home, going to work and watching TV in the evening will you remind of your habit. Wherever you look you will associations with gambling and it becomes hard to stay away. That's why it's so important to try and get a change of scenery, living temporarily somewhere else can help a lot in changing routines.

It all depends on his intention, not only support from friends or family, let alone a professional, if he doesn't intend to stop, it will be difficult, because addicts cannot be stopped by anyone unless it comes from himself, that's what I know and I saw from my friends , he was able to get out of his addiction because he wanted to stop gambling and wanted to return his family back to being whole.

It's not easy, it all needs to be processed, but it won't take long if the desire to stop gambling addiction comes from himself, if we meet an addict, whatever advice we give won't enter his mind and be heard because he has thoughts for himself and pleasure himself, so I prefer to let the addict learn to process his own addiction control and start to stop, unless the addict has a lot of debt of course he needs the support of family and friends because in most cases many people commit suicide because there are a lot of debts from their gambling addiction.

It's not easy to stop gambling, but it depends on our desire to stop. Especially if we have seen what impact we have gotten from gambling, and one day, we will realize that we have a bad gambling addiction and want to cure it. But we might find it hard to do it alone so we need help from others. So how difficult or easy it is depends on us as gambling addicts and if we don't look at our gambling addiction, maybe we also won't have thoughts of recovering from gambling addiction and will continue to play gambling.

To reduce the complexity of addiction to just intention is absurdly simplistic. Do you honestly think that all gamblers only enjoy themselves when playing the game? Knowing the complex dynamics and techniques involved in gambling, I can assure you that it's not only about hedonistic enjoyment. It's about strategy, play, and occasionally about living in a harsh economic environment.

Where is your study on how contemporary economic arrangements encourage people to engage in high-risk activities like gambling in relation to your claim regarding economic conditions? Your viewpoint is shallow and one-dimensional. Consider researching current economic developments and how they relate to gaming before making such sweeping statements.

When you are addicted to gambling you will not feel it.  Because then gambling will seem like a good thing to you and you will feel normal for everything. Gambling is not bad or harmful until it becomes addictive.  But when it turns into addiction, it is very harmful for him.  And then Quit  gambling becomes very difficult for him. So before he gets addicted to gambling, he has to control himself from it, then it will be much easier for him to quit gambling.

The game can be very good, for some it is lucrative, but for others it is destructive. When I read your post, I imagined that situation where a person has to lose their entire family due to this problem of the game, and that is something that is not very good On a personal level, people are very easy to manipulate, I think I'm going to start losing my people, my friends, the people who help me, I stop playing because the priorities and the most important thing are the hierarchies of that is what matters to us, and you want them to be with us, an addiction cannot be above our life, that is what a person in addiction should do and think, I am very extreme that everything is lost because of the casino That doesn't fit in my head, but I know what happens to some players, they lose their way.

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.

So many people seem to come up with half hearted attempts at quitting, that involve restricting playing time or putting a certain budget on it. The reality is, like with most addictions, you have lost control over at least this single aspect of your life. The only way, or at least the most efficient way, for most people to regain that control is to abstain from the activity altogether. There are no half measures, if you want to quit then you need to identify the triggers that lead you to playing and actively work to avoid them - the first few weeks will be toughest, but then it gets easier.

When you say half heartrd attempt,  you means those who haven't made up their mind 100% to quite gambling or what?

If the above is what you mean,  then you are very correct,  because a lot of times,  when gambling addicts complained that they are unable to quite after several failed attempts,  if you look closely you will discovered that dip down they are not really ready to quit gambling and what their trying to do is to take a break from gambling which is different from quitting gambling in its totality.

That's very true, a gambler should give up on the activity of gambling altogether rather than reducing the playing time or limiting the budget to spend on gambling activates. A simple way to stop gambling activity is to give time to your loved ones and friends, as it has been known that the ones who spend time with their loved ones and friends are less likely to give much time to an addiction.

Another important step we can take is to incorporate hard-working productive habits that require our time and one of such activity could be writing or programming as they are known to be very helpful to grab our focus entirely and during writing session or programming session one can be so focused that they can't give much time to other activates.

The simple answer is YES it's easy if you're just doing it for fun and entertainment,

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.

If one is experiencing a hard time quitting gambling, regardless of the benefits it brings, there is a huge possibility of a gambler getting too hooked and the possibility of gambling addiction is high.  A person in control will never find it hard to stop, moderate, or quit his activities.  Those who are not in control are the one getting the hard time.

To quit gambling addiction is not easy to do or achieve in general view, but if the addicted gambler think it's something easy for him to achieve and do then it will conveniently take place without any stress in finding a means to stop addiction, in most of the cases of addiction, it is we the third party trying to introduce a means to curb addiction on gamblers and not the gamblers on their own will are trying to quit, so it may be very difficult for us to achieve this except the gamblers involved make a move by themselves towards stopping, then we support them towards the achievement if such.
