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

[Roseline492]

Inasmuch as I know, the reason why most of us derives joy in gambling is because of the fact that we see it as a way of making fast money if one eventually wins and again we stake with little amount and expect to win big..

Sure on a serious note most people are passionate of gambling because irrespective of other disadvantages gambling may have but it has help many people that had no other means of survival.

I no of many people who does gambling for a living so it will be very hard asking somebody like that quite gambling  perhaps if someone is benefiting through gambling there is no need quitting it  but however we can only ask people who doesn't have control over there gambling habits to quit.

And just like you said one of the things that propels people to venture into gambling is because of profit making were as most people see gambling as a get rich scheme without knowing the ugly side of it.

I believe every addiction is hard to quit whether it is for gambling or any other kind of addiction. People of different addiction struggles and fight to quit their addiction and never return to it.

Actually, addiction is a mental problem that is not really easy to overcome at once. It’s just as if you want to change your behaviour from the negative to the positive, which cannot be done in a day because once you're addicted to something, there’s nothing you’ll do that you will not remind yourself of it and practice it. That is why some people are addicted to drugs, gambling, and other things.

A drug addict who wants to quit will go to a rehab center for support because it is hard to do it alone,

Normally, people who have already become addicted to drugs are prompted to develop a mental disorder within a short period of time when they continue consuming drugs, and I believe that is one of the reasons why they always refer them to rehabilitation centres for therapy, whether cognitive therapy or psychotherapy. It's a gradual process that a counsellor will be doing repeatedly, not even in a month, because when someone is seriously addicted to drugs, they find it very difficult to end it, and that is why it's a gradual process before they stop it.

Bad habits are more difficult to drop as with good habits, this also applies to addiction, sometimes some persons end up with a mental disorder resulting from the addiction. So in trying to get rid of the addiction the metal damage has to be First attended to before moving forward to treating the addiction so all this could result in making it difficult to totally stop the addiction as it could be expensive treating these cases at times.

Therapy which is one of the best and professional help that could easily help people out of addiction could sometimes be really expensive and not affordable by some of these addicts as some of them are average people with low or no income, they happen to get addicted to some of these substances and habits in a bid to get rid of their situations.

Generally quitting addiction is difficult and usually needs the help of professionals or family and friends to get rid of it totally, for those who can not afford professional help , staying clear of the habits or triggers is the best way to gradually get over the habits although it will take some time as it can be slow but it will work if followed consistently.

I can relate when you say you have a bad behavior or reaction when you experiment losses. I have myself felt bad for a couple of days after I had a bad luck streak rolling dices, in my case I get depressed and do not feel like doing anything.

I assume in your case you get mad instead of sad?
Because in my personal opinion, anger can be more difficult to control than sadness or melancholy. Either way, I hope you do not start to keep track on your wins and losses, because that is a very short path towards trying to chase money and we both know what happens when the chasing starts, it usually does not end well at all.

Good luck and take care of you and your family.

Well, thank you very much.
I also feel sad and don't want to do anything. But this would be the wrong problem. Our lives are affected by gambling. We should put that thought aside. If you lose money, you can get it back, but if you lose your job or love, it is not easy to get it back.
I consider this a lesson worthy of us spending that money to buy this lesson. Now, I continue to gamble. But my mind is now very comfortable. The amount of money I'm willing to lose will never affect my life. A little knowledge and experience will be an advantage when playing this game. And it is still important not to be too greedy when you have won in gambling.

Of course, viewing casinos as a place to make money is a wrong view. Maybe occasionally we get a big win, but we experience losses more often. Usually people who have won the jackpot at the casino make it difficult for them to stop because they want to get the jackpot again and again, even though it is very difficult.

Becoming a gambling addict has huge risks, gambling addicts will spend a lot of money gambling and often damage family and friend relationships. Gambling can make us lose anything so it's a good idea to consider the consequences so we can control our desire to gamble.

The gambler after losing the money,started to get addicted by the gambling.The main reason was to get back the loss in the gambling,but they fail to understand.It’s hard to recover the loss in the gambling until you had luck at that time.It’s hard to get back the job after fired by your boss.Some gambler start to do gambling as the full time after losing the job by the situation.Controlling your mindset was the important one in the gambling.If you loss ten games in a row,you should ready to quit the gambling for a period of one week atleast.So you forgot the loss pattern in the gambling.After the vacation,you can easy win by the free mindset in the gambling.

I believe that is part of my problem when I find myself having a little bit of good luck, I get too greedy and my good luck gets spoiled by it.
I have tried to test and learn how to control my greed by doing some small spot trading on Binance, I buy some Bitcoin and try to get some profit, even if I see the market going up and up, I still try to sell and not let greed to take over because of the feeling of missing out even bigger money.

It is something similar to what happens with gambling. It has happened to me in dices and also once when I tried a coin flip game in a small new casino someone was advertising around here.

It is better just to take some percentage of earnings and not to believe we can change our lives in a single game session.

More gamblers are finally managing to gain control over their finances and gambling games after experiencing bad experiences. Sometimes the impact can be to stop gambling, although sometimes it is only temporary. But there are also those who become more responsible with their gambling.
I myself think quitting gambling is quite difficult, especially for those who do it consistently every day, going to the casino and betting. it takes a long process to get out.

Of course, viewing casinos as a place to make money is a wrong view. Maybe occasionally we get a big win, but we experience losses more often. Usually people who have won the jackpot at the casino make it difficult for them to stop because they want to get the jackpot again and again, even though it is very difficult.

but after getting the jackpot are you sure the game will be finished? Every gambler has the ambition to win, it's instinctive because they go to the casino to win. but the winnings won will not make the gambler leave. maybe they'll stop for a moment and make a withdrawal. but it won't be long before they come back to play because they have luck in their hands. continuing the game would be fun.

Before setting out to gamble,  you have to first pf all make up your mind to always withstand your losses at some point because both winning and losing is all part of gambling and the both combine to make up for the fun part of gambling,  because the essence of gambling is to have fun and while having that fun,  our bets are the most oiling part of the whole scenario and this happens to be the best part of it all because through that bet is where your either excitement or pains come from.

So for that,  as a gambler you need to make prior arrangement to be able to handle both at the same time because definitely you must witness them at some point.

If there is one thing that is so hard to quit,it is gambling.This is hard because as long as human being is concerned,one will always want to make money,and as they say,that human needs are insatiable,human desire to make money can never be satisfied,therefore,this urge to make more money even when you have some is what drives one into gambling.
There are two people involved when we are talking about gambling,we have the gamblers who aren't addicted to it,and the addicted gamblers.If one is addicted to gambling,It would be so difficult for that fellow to stop gambling habbit,while it might be easy for someone who isn't really into gambling to,but gambles once in a while for fun to stop.

It involves a matter of self-awareness and recognition that gambling does not benefit him, so he decides to stop gambling. But if he is not aware and does not want to stop gambling, he will not be able to stop gambling and maybe he will get deeper into gambling. Everything will get worse when he doesn't want to realize that he is addicted to gambling and has no desire to stop gambling, even for a moment. But if he had seen what happened to other people who had experienced gambling addiction and then thought that he was like that person, maybe he would have decided to stop gambling and never return to gambling again.

[n00ber]

I cannot quit gambling even though I knew and could not profit from this game. And especially, I am not addicted to gambling. I always control my emotions so as not to lose much money.
I love the thrill of this game. It's fun to play them. Whenever I have money saved, I set aside a little to try my luck. When I don't have money, I won't care about gambling. It could be a psychological adventure game for me.

That's great, that's how it should be. Gambling is fun especially if you know how to play it. What I mean is for those people who know how to control themselves you will really enjoy it. You won't get addicted or lose your way if you can control your emotions when it comes to gambling.

Even if he is doing great (I hope he continues that way). It is not rare for anyone of us to lose control of our gambling session. Has not ever happened to you? You are having a good luck streak while gambling and playing your favorite game but greed takes over you, so you do not think about withdrawing your wins and move on. So you keep rolling dices or spinning the slots wanting to keep getting more and more money, before you realize you have lost your earning and part of your starting balance.

It is easier to lose control when one is having green numbers, than when one is in the red. I do not know why, but also happens in trading, it is easier to accept the loss and sell the bags that selling for profit, because of the fear of missing out even more profits...

Gamblers who engage in such aggressive and violent behavior are deplorable. The law needs to step in to properly punish these people.
Really, people like this are giving gamblers like us a bad name. In my country, whenever they hear someone gambling, they are suspicious and have negative prejudices. Because many gamblers take out their anger on their wives and children, they give us a terrible reputation. That's why I gamble online secretly so as not to get a bad reputation.

We don't get the recovery of our money back from gambling by being addicted thinking that's the only way to strive hard to ensure an opportunity comes for recovering the losses, instead we keep accumulating to the losses already incurred, the more to try hard the higher the losses we see, some only need to change their personal pattern of gambling or the kind of game they play bet on and try new things out.

Personally though, i do not think that knowing or seeing what happened to other gambling addicts is enough reason for any gambling addicts out there to stop gambling, except the gambler was never addicted in the first place.
Why did i say this?
First, oi say this because, stories of how gambling ruined the life, family, finances and even health of some people addicted to it is all over the internet, it is discussed on several places like social media platforms, and online forums like this one, and some of these addicted gamblers even engage themselves in such discussions, and yet, we still have a lot of addicted gamblers all around us online and offline.
What i think others gambling addicts bad experiences can do for the now addicts who are to experience the same is, it can only make them want to be more careful, and this is only but for a while.

[0t3p0t]

You are not a gambler if you quit right? That is what other people would say, it could be right or wrong but it depends on us how we dealt with gambling. Some people chase luck that is one reason they don't quit. Other type of people specially the rich one, for them, gambling is just an entertainment but could also turn someone into a gambling addict. I have heard stories of people like from rags to riches with gambling, unfortunately, I also hear the opposite. Experiences will surely help a gambler decide whether to quit or not.

Getting back money lost in gambling is always the thought of most gamblers, and They try every way to find their lost money. And then things became more and more serious. They lose more and more. Some people have recovered their lost money but continue to play because they think that luck is on their side again, and as a result, only some people can get rewards in this game.
As you said, forget about the money you lost. Always have a good spirit to have a chance to win. And the important thing is that our heart is always comfortable, so gambling does not affect us. Gambling is just for fun. I repeat, don't let it disrupt our lives. Winning or losing in this gambling game is like a boy playing a video game. If someone cannot accept losing the money they play, it is best not to know about gambling, even just watching other people play.

Being responsible in gambling is the top thing we must do. Players without responsibility are destroying their own lives.
Players consider gambling as their hobby and entertainment. Quitting gambling needs to start with needing something new or better than the gambling they are interested in. Suppose gambling becomes boring for them. They will automatically terminate the game quickly.
For those addicted to gambling, quitting is difficult. Severe addicts may need to take medication or see a psychologist.

well, what you are saying is about self awareness, such as a more positive mindset as I said before, or it could be said that someone who has thought prioritizes something that is more useful after feeling that gambling will not be profitable and chooses to quit gambling or gamble only when they have the remaining money in his pocket that not used for daily needs.
and quit gambling will indeed involve self awareness to awaken our minds so that we dont consider gambling as profitable activity and consider gambling only lucky entertainment.

[boyptc]

Quitting gambling needs to start with needing something new or better than the gambling they are interested in.

There is no need for any reason for someone to quit gambling.

Quitting is quitting and that means that gambler just want to get out of this habit because it doesn't do good for him or even if it does but if he don't think he'll be staying there, he has to quit.

No matter what people say when you're quitting, it's the same thing what people say when you're addicted to gambling. That's why you have to choose yourself and inner peace for that. No words from other people should dictate you just to have a reason to quit.

If you want to get out, just simply be out.

It's needed to have such targets and never to exceed from the limitation that they setup to assure that they still in control,  it's hard to find yourself getting addicted as severe addiction can ruin your life cycle,  and as you mentioned,  addiction really tough to recover your previous intentions,  you cannot quit things right away instead you need to take medication and deeper understanding from people who cared for you.

There are certain addictions or vices that you or I cannot give up if we want to but I have to work very hard for it. A visit to a good psychiatrist can definitely help you get rid of gambling addiction and he can give you some advice along with medication that can help you get rid of gambling addiction. That's why you have to patiently control yourself and refrain from small and bad habits.
