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

But to stop gambling requires a strong intention and the right effort so that they can really stop gambling and never return to gambling again. Only people who have such things can completely stop gambling while others will return to gambling and there are even many who develop gambling addiction without help.

Exactly, for some people, they wouldn't stop gambling even they are already have a bad results. They will say I will quit, but in the next few weeks, they will going back. Without a strong inner desire to stop, there was no other way. Forgetting the defeat have experienced, focusing on other things, might help. But, they must also remember, that they already has the intention to stop gambling. Never ever trying to play again. Once they tries, the addiction has previously managed to reduce may feel stronger than before.

Yeah, I see that point the intention was there, but if you failed to resist and you follow the dominance of your desire that lust inside you will be going stronger and your engagement to gambling will be more solidify you need to work more with your will and make sure that you have that inner strength that can limit your gambling session.

It's tough to work on your own lust. I mean, beating something that you are being please, gambling is entertaining and enjoyable, the problem is you really can't control once you already engage too much.

It is all about the way how we take it forward. If we can keep ourselves under control, then it is possible to stay out of addiction. Lust is something that can be overcome concentrating on alternative things. Some might fail in it, but there is possible choices. If we consider gambling is similar to lust, then it is controllable. According to me lust on gambling and lust alone have got different meaning. Lust is some sort of feel, but with gambling there is money involved which could cause a negative effect than just lust which is much about feel.

Everything can be controlled as long as we stay sane.  But the moment we get addicted of it, it will change everything.  Addiction means we are not in control anymore but the urge is.  So whether it is lust, gambling, alcohol, or drugs, if we get addicted to it, there is no way of controlling it unless we ask for treatment and get cured.  So in as early as possible when we engage in gambling, we must inculcate in our mind that we must gamble responsibly, have moderation, and always have a personal check to see whether we have the sign of being addicted and correct our ways even before addiction dominates our brains.

Everything can be controlled as long as we stay sane. 

It's difficult if you have become an addict because anyone who is addicted will feel that they don't realize it and feel that they are still sane, but they don't realize that they have gone far, so if you want to stop and get out of gambling, of course it's not that short, of course it takes time to treat it, namely By reducing activities and avoiding all gambling activities, especially if gambling at online casinos, staying away from the internet will be better by living an active social life outside the home.

We will not be able to stop the habit of gambling, especially if we don't consciously feel addicted, it will clearly be difficult, the only thing that can make us quit and stop gambling is the people around us, because having them around us can help us remind us us to stop gambling, even so it takes time to recover and stop gambling, but at least reducing it slowly will help us.

If a quit decision is coming from a gambler then I don't think it should be a problem much for him to achieve but in most cases, we try to engage force and other means to achieve our own wish over the gambler involved to see the change we want come to pass in them, to quit is not the hardest task here, the approach we apply in achieving is sometimes are wrong entirely, this makes it seems so difficult so someone to change or quit especially when they were already found addicted to gambling.

If they use violence, it doesn't seem like it will work because change can only be successful if there is an intention from someone who wants the change. If other people force him to stop gambling, it will only cause conflict between other people and himself, where he will surely defend himself. But if there is a desire from someone who is addicted to gambling to be able to stop, it will open up opportunities for other people to come in and help them as much as possible. And people who are addicted to gambling will not just remain silent but will try to carry out their desire to stop gambling. We have to use a completely different approach from one gambling addict to another because maybe the root cause of the problem will not be the same.

That is why it is better to leave it to those professionals, mostly if we are having trouble somewhat controlling a person due to his gambling activities, because those professionals, like psychologists, will know how to better approach that addict to make it stop or just lessen his gambling activities, though the problem really is that if the gambler is willing to be helped, we know that those gambling addicts won't accept or recognize that he is already addicted to it.

You have raised a very good point and I want to address it. It should be called "lust and gambling".
Let's forget about the common meaning of "lust" (sex). Lust is when you desire something so deeply that nothing can stop you from achieving it. This is the right definition of lust. When you have lust for gambling then, based on the previous definition, nothing can stop you from playing/gambling. Keeping your self busy with something else or focusing on something else to forget about gambling may work if you are not lusting for gambling.

What is the difference between lust and emotion, so I think what is involved is not just a matter of mere lust. To be honest, I don't find the essence in the meaning of the word lust. The source that always triggers it is our own thoughts, and how dopamine plays an important role in making us enjoy gambling. and if we talk about lust, every human being has it and it is a natural trait that everyone has. and if lust is the trigger, then the initial trigger comes from emotion, and emotion is born from our own thinking. Whether what I say is true or false, this is just part of my point of view.

Well, whether it is easy or difficult to stop gambling depends on each individual. The thing is, everyone has their own way and how they react to it. In fact, there are many who find it difficult to stop gambling, because they are unable to fight their high desire to gamble. some others, it is easy to quit gambling activities. either by looking for other diversions, or indeed they only gamble at certain times. IMO, the point is, how do we define gambling itself. If we think that gambling is just for fun, do it without affecting the many aspects that have a detrimental impact on us.

Addiction is one of the things that makes a human lose control, because it is something that makes it difficult for that person to have control of emotions, impulses, and everything that has to do with their things, because to play In a casino, if that person does not have money, they will do whatever it takes to get even a little to be able to play and in that aspect is where they must have responsibility, because if there is not then it is not possible for it to improve, if the The gambler is irresponsible, he knows that he will be without money, and to get it again it is with work and that takes time because you have to wait 15 days or 30 days to have money in your hands and it is very bad if you leave everything in a casino, that It is an act that is not responsible.

Actually gambling addicts are not as complicated as we think and not as bad as we think and gambling addicts as if they are not crazy people who must be treated by professionals and do not even require violence to deal with this.
Gambling addicts are ordinary people who do the same activities as us without harming other people, but in their gambling activities they don't have full control over themselves or seem to be unable to stop gambling, always thinking about winning.
Problems like this we don't need to think too much about something bad because if it happens to family or friends we can try to do the first approach slowly following the flow of what he is doing after that try to open a conversation regarding gambling and encourage him to tell about what he thinks on gambling.
In this way, we as ordinary people who are not gamblers can find out the cause of their addiction so that it is easy to help them stop betting.

I beg to disagree, once a person is addicted there is a possibility for this person to do unexpected things just to do the uncontrollable urge due to addiction.  This is another reason why gambling when heard by other people are tainted with crimes and violence.  Other gambling addicts tend to commit crimes in order to support their gambling activities.  They start stealing the money from the family budget and then selling the properties, and then when all is sold, they go for loans until they default and are forced to commit robbery and the alike.

I believe gambling addiction can lead to criminal activity if not treated asap.

The person who get gambling addicted will speak the unwanted words to their family members or wife to get money for the game.This one is common for the people who ask money to drink,when they don’t have any money.The addicted people also get into the crime to gain some money for the game,they also get into violence as like they consume some drink.Most of the gambling addict commit the crime and earn some money,then the use money to the do gambling.Some addict will do some murder to get money,they don’t know what they doing in the addiction.So help your gambling addiction friends with some advice and get them to not do any crime in future.

Worse things that unexpected to happen if addiction already dominated your minds, those who do these kinds of things are no longer in control with their actions, a lot of addicted gamblers went to jail because of crimes that they've committed, not easy to quit once you already engaged that much, the power of self-will needs to be back up by your actions, probably if too much addiction professional help might be needed to control or to turn back the balance inside a person mindset.

That's true. If we don't want to be in a situation wherein we can't control ourselves anymore as an addicted gambler. Then before we play, think of the worst things that can happen or the consequences if we let ourselves be hooked in gambling. This way, you'll play with discipline since you're aware of the negative effects of gambling.

Anyway, there's nothing wrong if you want to gamble and to have some fun. But just like what you've said it should be in moderation so we can prevent ourselves becoming addicted. Because once you're in such situation, it's already hard to quit and usually professional help is necessary in order to overcome it.

Addiction occurs due to excessive attitudes towards hobbies or pleasures that they do. including gambling, those who are addicted to extremes must receive special assistance to straighten out their mindset toward gambling. it's hard to get out but if their mindset is put back with the right understanding, maybe it will be a little better. This of course requires a psychiatrist and family support for the mental stabilization process. Because it is already associated with harming others, it can be a severe case of addiction.

When you gamble very often, you will not think about the risk of loss. it has become a habit that may be difficult to break.
Addicted gamblers will not feel satisfied even if they win. they will not be able to suppress the feeling to continue playing. Even though the impact can be reduced, it is still difficult to quit gambling. what can be done is to change the pattern of gambling.

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.

Gambling is acute bad addiction, many use it as a source of entertainment and many use gambling as an important means of earning. But for those who take gambling seriously and become a severe addiction, it becomes almost difficult to control from the dire consequences of gambling. In this case he must consult a skilled and experienced therapist or medicine specialist. All these experienced therapists will definitely give him some effective advice to get out of this severe addiction and let him do some motivational work which can be helpful in getting out of that severe gambling addiction. But those who use gambling as a source of entertainment do not face any problem.

Of course there will always be a very visible and long margin difference between those who use gambling as a means of entertainment and those who use gambling as a means of making money, the reason for this is because,  those who gambling for entertainment purposes will always adhere to the rule that states that we should gamble responsibly, which states that we should only gamble with money, or amount of money we can afford to, and comfortably lose.

But those who are gambling for money will always out of greed to win big amount of money, stake money they can't afford to lose and when the money is lost, they panic and begin to chase it to see how they can recover back the money, which also leads to more loses, it becomes a rat race for them, and before they know what is happening, gambling has become a huge part of their daily routine, which means they have become addicted .

Both those gambling for entertainment purpose or doing it for money can be addicted, the addiction can come in many ways. Those gambling for entrainment are doing that to get the dopamine that the brain cells releases and that can be addictive if not controlled.

While those gambling for money are doing it for the monetary benefits, if they don't have discipline they'll find out that they're in an everlasting rat race of making money, losing it to gambling and chasing after the money and as a result losing more money just as you said.

There's a risk to every reason why you gamble, which is why we're recommended to stay discipline as gamblers to prevent addiction from taking over us. Gambling is a very addictive activity and if you're not careful you can lose yourself all of a sudden participating in gambling.

This is very important because most gamblers ignore this and underestimate the risks, even though what must be prepared before playing gambling is mental, where when you experience defeat and lose money when gambling you must be able to control your emotions and realize that it is part of the risk of gambling, so don't chase it. because chasing defeat is the same as leading yourself to become addicted.

Always play wisely as a gambler must know how to play so you don't become a greedy gambler, another important thing is to set a spending budget as well as a loss or win budget where when you reach a loss or profit target stop playing, because in a controlled and disciplined way like that you will not lead us to addiction.

If we want to win and highly esteemed a particular bet, we tend to fail in winning because gambling is not a game we can have the assurance of what might be the outcome of what we do, when we bet, we are are taking risk irrespective of the amount used or the game play to either win or loose, but we also out in more efforts in assuring that we win more often than we loose as we learn more from oast gambling experience, as for the addicted gamblers, they are unpredictable also, but i still don't know how they meet up with their living being a gambler and an addicted gambler.

Exactly, if there's already something that affecting others, that kind of addiction really needs to address and, if possible, to seek for
medical attentions, professionals can find provide ideas on how to straight the problem but the actions should be taken by the person
with all the will inside him to quit away and cure himself.

Each time they enter or play the game, the level of satisfaction will continue to increase. I think addiction got pushed when
the person keeps on finding that satisfaction to entertain their lust and desire to keep betting and keep trying to find their luck.

We can do this if we don't or haven't been able to find a temporary solution that can enable gambling addicts to reduce their time gambling or even stop immediately. By visiting a professional, gambling addicts can find solutions useful for reducing their gambling and stop immediately. There may be different ways or approaches used by the psychologist in treating gambling addicted patients which will not be the same as other patients. However, it is true that gambling addicts may find it difficult to admit that they are already addicted to gambling and want help from others. His pride was too high to admit he was addicted to gambling so it took time to wake him up.

It is always good that if there is a problem with Gambling , Close to aAddiction , something should be done quickly, as urgently as possible, because a Pisologist can help, but if he does not do his part, he will continue playing and that is the bad thing. each person has a personality and a way of thinking , how to act and how to do things so that things can happen, and if an addiction in the game is hurting you, as is logical, you have to control yourself, it can be that the player be argued and do not want these things to be assumed or for others to know, because they may be embarrassed and they will say that they have everything under control , but they can stop playing with good treatment and as long as the Player wants to Improve.
