You must do this if you want to QUIT or NOT

What you said op is correct about the opinions you mentioned, but as others have said, that is not easy to do especially if a gambler has been playing in a casino for a long time. Because of course they are used to that routine gambling, so what will happen is that they will have an adjustment time for the routine they are used to. But when they are also used to that, for sure that will improve the situation of what they will do as a responsible gambler for sure in the end.

i also think so, it is almost impossible to change the habits of someone who gambles very often, especially if the person is able to manage his gambling properly ^{(people are easy to talk about but in fact making drastic changes is very difficult)}

This reason is what makes me prefer the invitation to encourage a heavy gambler to be more responsible for the gambling he is doing, self-control and not having big ambitions in gambling is one example of responsible gambling. There is no point in pursuing victory at gambling, but in fact it is make things difficult for yourself.

We are beings of habit, if we are accustomed to habits and anything, we can also get used to it, not because of this our life will collapse or become evident so that things do not happen as we want, in all cases we can get used to other activities, you just have to create the habit and to create it you need to repeat it for 21 days, which is the average time that the human being acquires an activity as a habit, you can take discipline and everything that comes from then on, but it is not something impossible, because if it is possible, we have to get into the head of possible things.

Our lifestyle should coordinate with our finances and so as our habit. If our habit is gambling, then we should only gamble based on our financial capability and bet only using the funds that we can afford to lose. We all know that once we have fallen into gambling addiction, we'll trapped and might have a hard time rising again so as early as possible, we should do precautionary measures to avoid it.
If we know that we are already exceeding beyond our limit, then we should control and discipline ourselves. We are the ones who must correct ourselves and we should consider stopping only when we are already losing everything.

Starting a habit depends on the will of the person, if he is determined to accomplish something for himself without the intervention of others.
It is hard from the start, but once you form such a habit, you will reap the rewards and you will feel satisfied for yourself.
Know your goals in life and contemplate on how bad you want those things for you. Because you alone will be responsible to accomplish such things.
There will be others that may possibly assist you, your family or close friends, but the will to change will still come from you.

[Onyeeze]

Do you know that what makes people to be addicted in gambling is when they have no job and all their hope will base on the wining gambling to survive, so I believe another thing that make people to be gambling addict is when they win a reasonable or large amount of money and win for the second time, that will make someone to consistently participating in gambling.  Someone who has tested gambling and win will not have a limitations of gambling, you can only control your serious in gambling during the time you started gambling how you take the gambling serious, so who started with inquisitiveness will be end up being a gambling addict

To build a good life is hard work, it may be a personal effort or the family support and background. The people who have reached and achieved their goal by themselves are very determined and they advise themselves when they are going wrong like when they are introduced to gambling, they take precautions when playing on it consistently. It takes personal effort but the family as a first point where children take guide from is very important. If you have family that are addict, there is high possibility that you may not get out of it. So the family influence is in two ways, it may be positive or negative.

^That is relying alone on gambling and you are definitely right.
Addiction to gambling can indeed be influenced by various factors, and the absence of a stable job or financial security can contribute to it. When we find ourselves in a vulnerable position, where our hopes and survival seem to rely solely on winning through gambling, we may be more prone to becoming addicted. Just like winning a substantial or significant amount of money in gambling can have a reinforcing effect. Experiencing success once can create a belief that further victories are possible, leading us to engage in gambling consistently. It is important to note that once someone has tasted success in gambling, we may not perceive any inherent limitations to our participation. The control over one's gambling habits is often determined by the initial mindset and approach towards gambling.

This could be one of the reason why many choses to gamble more, and they are spending beyond their budget and this could be the start of their addiction. There’s a lot of ways to quit gambling or be more responsible and its the choice of the gambler if he is going to follow it or not. If the gambler is a close minded and not responsible, expect for the worst scenario, and I hope they can still handle it.

Many people have not discovered were their problems of becoming gambling addicted started, what we I listed and in addition of what you added is the things that causes gambling addiction but some people will not know, I know that lack of job and lack of money can change a character or life behaviour of somebody, being addictive in gambling have something that caused it, and the they have that might cause somebody to continuously participating in gambling constantly will be a small thing that should corrected at the early stage

[Mate2237]

It is really interesting to know that there are people giving their side of thoughts in order to give gamblers advice when they are having difficulty to prevent themselves from gambling.  Though I would say it always ends up on the personal discipline and self control, these few advises can make people thinks another means or reason for them to stop gambling and if they failed to, the latter advise of keeping oneself loses to minimum is also a good alternative option.

It is only a gambler can give those advises to another gambler, if not he can only gave general advise and not deep ones as these. Those advises the op gave are also helpful if the gambler really ready to gave up gambling in his life time. And also the preventing measures of the op about gambling is also good ones. Yes  I will go with BitDane statement that "self discipline" is one of the major thing addicted gamblers should do to stop gambling.

Things we must do to stop gambling according to experts:

1. Recognize the problem
2. Remove the stigma
3. Confide in a love one
4. Seek professional health
5. Adjust as needed

Now, if you still want to gamble but you don't want to become addicted to it, one of the things you should do in my opinion is:

1. Only set aside an amount of money that you will use to gamble in a casino.
2. Don't think that you will gamble to make money, because if you do that, you will surely have a problem later.
3. Just spend a few hours staying in a casino to gamble so you can avoid what you don't realize is wasting time that you should be spending on important things instead of gambling.

Easy to say but if you are already on such condition or situation then it would really be a huge challenge for you to be able to stop when you are on such situation specially when you are already addicted.

Quitting would really be the most tough thing that you would be ever able to encounter.People are different when it comes to realizations and control about their emotion and on how they do able to control out their mindset. There might be some who would be able to completely stop midway or could able to realize while its still early but most of the time people would really be ending up on stopping when they dont have
money on their pocket already or doesnt have an account balance for them to play. They wont really be able to stop until they wouldnt be able to hit up that win on which they are really that trying out to chase.

The sad thing on which most people do really end up is that they become addicted. Those things listed above are indeed that the way on solving addiction but this is something that could could be only able to assess
and apply when you are fully aware of your own condition but if not? you wouldnt really care at all and you would really be continuing.

Sorry, but I think that applies to people who are looking for easy money only. Someone who doesn't have a job should be looking for opportunities around, asking people about jobs spots available, indications, searching for it on the internet, but not putting their last savings on gambling, that is a risky deal, and not possible to be considered a money making method in a sustainable way. I believe what happens is that these people aren't willing to work for real, added to the fact they watch videos on the internet from people who claim to be living from gambling, so they also want it for themselves, what is a big mistake, because that doesn't work for real.

At a point what make some gamblers to be consistently playing gambling is when they can't benefit from gambling and when they realise the amount of money they spend and they continue pushing harder to make sure that have only once and recover everything they have spent in gambling, but it's not good to be losing in gambling and continuing staking when you have mind set of wining when you are losing in gambling that means you are ready to lose more

This kind of advises will all end to the self discipline, so if a gambler have this one then this advise can be a big help but to those gamblers who are still struggling on how to handle their emotion and addiction in gambling, this will not be an easy advise. If you can’t quit gambling yet, just try to be more responsible first and slowly make yourself busy with other things, this can help you not to lose everything in just one day.

Not easy if there's no someone beside them will sacrifice to spend some time to advice and provide them quality interaction like make those people affected so much on gambling attention a proper realization that to much of what they currently doing is destructive for them. If the affected person is also cooperative for sure they can get away with these addiction thing so its good to have something like what OP written since they could slowly follow that and practice to discipline their selves upon gambling.

at times the money set aside for gambling will be bigger than his food allocation.  

because he wants to push his luck. many gamblers only see the whole situation when its late. only after they got into very deep, and sometimes even when they already see the problem, they enjoy it. especially when he had already established a network of gambling friends, its harder to quit.

LOL, normally in some situations it could be so, but I wonder what sort of gambler will spend more of his fund allocation on gambling than on food?

Although I have heard stories where a man prefers to gamble with his money instead of giving the wife money for provisions in the house, In such a case, it is quite clear to me that such a man will never starve himself; as long as they have the money, they can eat any time they want while they still have that one they are reserving to gamble with. The worst thing that can happen to a gambler is when they lose self-control, because they can keep chasing losses, and before they realise it, it will be too late, just like you said.

[dothebeats]

Professional intervention is still the way to go if you're already in too deep. For sure loved ones can help you talk about it, but after some time, addicts will just go back to what they're used to and will just continue the cycle. With professional intervention, at least the addict will be more aware of what's really happening and will understand more of what could be the ways in order to leave this degeneracy. Also, learning new things or getting a new hobby would be nice to curb addiction, as it diverts your mind away from the said activity and you'll be more busy with those and not think about gambling that much.

Just because someone don't have what it takes to stop, does not means they don't know what it takes to stop.

[xSkylarx]

Without proper discipline, it is still useless because we are still on our own. No matter what advice we give to the gambler, if he is not disciplined, then he will still gamble. The problem with a gambler is thathe would say that he would just spend 1 hour at the casino, but later on he will break it and spend more time and also overspend the allotted budget. If we have self-control and discipline, for sure we can follow it, but not that is where the problem starts.

you forgot to add "Join Support Groups and 12-Step Programs" Support groups and support from the community are extremely important if you are going through something like battling an addiction(i.e. gambling addiction). As said in the article, being able to connect or relate with others who struggle with addiction is a great way to know that you are not alone in your struggle because of the support of the community and that freedom from addiction is possible.

Apart from the gambling budget it is also important to allocate a limited amount of time for your gambling activities. By setting a time limit, you can ensure that you don't spend excessive amounts of time gambling and prioritize other important aspects of your life.

Also Avoid chasing losses cause it is the beginning stage of getting addicted to gambling and Don't Use Gambling as an Escape from any of your problems especially when it related to your financial status.

This is the main problem of every gamblers who got addicted because once they loss they will chasing to win even though how many times they will loss they are keeping on betting because they are aiming that their loss will be recovered. And without knowing they are keep losing money because when they are keep betting the probability or the chance of winning are too small. So it's better to have the mindset that when we are losing a good amount of money we will stop and play again in another day.
