If the gambler get motivated with the certain interval of time,then gambler will survive in the gambling for the big win.The gambler who had good money,never bother about the loss or profit.Only the poor gambler will try to encounter for the multiple times for the big win,So finally it become the addiction for them.The better way to stop the addiction was very simple,he need to control the money deposit to the gambling.The major difference between the gambling addicted person and ordinary gambler was the control of the deposit money and the way of the control their emotion in the betting of the gambling.

The important thing is that a gambler must try to create or do other activities so that his mind is not only focused on gambling and can do other activities where when he starts to be busy with other activities, he will not gamble too often. This will make him slowly reduce his gambling activities because he already has other things he can do. If he does other things more regularly and adds to his busy schedule with other things, that means he is starting to be able to reduce his busyness and he can definitely stop his gambling activities at any time. A gambler must do this, but it is hard and not easy because the temptation to return to gambling is always there.

I agree with this, gambling is not the only way to pass the time, there are many other things out there, there are many things you can do, you just have to explore to find what you want to do besides gambling if gambling is becoming a bad influence on you .

Yes, it is not easy to stop gambling, especially if you have put effort and time into it. You don't need to hurry when you quit gambling, just take it slow and you'll get there.

Yes, it's true that gambling is just one of the ways we can pass the time or make it a temporary hobby. Which somehow still gives us satisfaction if we have a problem, whether it's feeling impatient or stressed because of what we're going through.

It's also a different feeling to have an addiction to this that our routine longs for because we have a passion for it. And this habit is not easy to remove from the personal character of the gambler, and it needs a serious solution to get rid of or change if we want to become normal gamblers again.

Well, it will be up to each person. If they can repent because of the motivation of those closest to them, that is good because they can understand what their mistake was, and there is a desire to change in the right direction. That's all in the past, and they still have a second chance, to make the best use of it. And don't waste what the people closest to you have done because they all still care about the gambling addict. And with full support given to gambling addicts, gambling addicts will find a way to cure their gambling addiction.

Yes, strong support and empathy from the surrounding environment, family, friends, is very important in the recovery process for gambling addicts. With the right help, including therapy and psychological support, they can find ways to overcome their addiction and begin a positive recovery journey.
Providing effective resources and services can also help them understand the root of their problems and develop appropriate strategies to avoid gambling temptations. Ongoing support can play an important role in helping them get back on a healthy and productive path.
Even though it is not completely effective, in my opinion the main factor that influences gambling addicts is the environment.

One of the possible ways to stop gambling addiction is to seek help from the professionals. They know how to assess and what kind of therapy they should do to make it possible.. It's a step by step assessment and it really takes time. by that, A gambler addict must help their self too. Having strong support from a family and friends is highly encourage and little by little, gambler must avoid anything related to any gambling activities. I know someone who's addicted in gambling and I saw how miserable his life is, To the point that there's nothing left in his pocket and has a lot of pending loans in banks and relatives. he didn't realize all the wrongdoings until his family left him because he didn't want to change for a better. I always advise that gambling is okay as long as you're a responsible in your actions.

Yes, seeking professional help can indeed overcome various gambling addiction problems. Trained professionals can provide in-depth assessment and appropriate therapy according to individual needs. The process does take time, but with a commitment to recovery, a person can overcome the challenges of addiction and begin the journey towards a healthier life, support from family and friends also plays an important role in the recovery process and getting emotional and moral support from a positive environment can help strengthen motivation and support for individuals in the recovery process.

Seeing a gambler's situation like that is a little sad, but it stems from his own mistake of not being able to control his money well, which causes various problems in his life, making his life even more sad.

Get used to living a disciplined life and uphold the desire that arises in your heart not to gamble anymore. Something that comes from the heart will be very easy to apply in life, especially if you realize that you have spent a lot of money on gambling.

Gambling addiction is not healthy. It affects people as a whole either physically or emotionally. Gambling addiction can kill. Anything that is too much is bad and people said that, therefore gambling addiction can give you nothing but negative effects. The only way you can stop gambling addiction is to stay away from it as long as you can. Some people had stopped their gambling addiction by realizing they have nothing left on themselves.

Gambling addicted has reduced many gamblers home to nothing, because they are addicted to gambling even though they are not winning the spirit to continue playing until the money they budgeted on that day finish. And it has made gamblers to sold many things that turn their life to a useless life which is a something every genuine human being is afraid not to end up in such way by applying some wisdom to know your limit in gambling. Once you discovered gambling is not favouring you as usual, that is a sign that you need to take some break from gambling to learn so many things that will help you to recover your losses when you are back to gambling again.

The effects of gambling addiction I think is known to majority of people who knows about gambling and it's activities as it's rendered a lot of people both young and old who became gambling addicts useless.
 That being said, the main topic of discussion is what are the possible ways to stop online gambling addiction. Every online gambler must surely have account or accounts with gambling companies before they can gamble with their online platforms and that's why I think one good step to take in other to stop anyone who's addicted to online gambling to deactivate every account with any gambling company.

First good step to deactivate then try not to use your device or try to access to the internet, then find alternative diversions to consume your time, it's not easy as you will keep thinking about it and chances that you'll be tempted to go back and play each time you find yourself boring.

Though if you have other things to do and you already invest your time, chances that you may reset everything and start a new journey outside any gambling related activities.

I have seen several topics here and other discussion threads where many people talked about gambling addiction. So many procedures have been stated to follow sequentially to reduce the rate at which one frequently visits online gambling sites and possibly their application if they do have any of them.

Addiction is not an easy battle to fight, and there are many ways you can fight gambling addiction, therefore the very first step to get you out of gambling addiction is deciding to stop immediately after you have noticed it, once you have done that, swing into action by staying away from anything related to gambling and substituting that time you spend in gambling and engaging yourself with other meaningful activities,  you can decide to spend more of your time on going to the gym, reading, or anything that will give you happiness,

Furthermore, you could even go as far as avoiding some of your friends with whom you gamble together, so far this would be of benefit to your health and help you to heal back, because seeing those friends regularly gambling will get you tempted, especially when you see them win some games.

Truly, fighting addiction is not an easy task to do. Before one must embark on it, one must have made up their minds to do such and must be able to be self disciplined and exercise self-restraint to stoping addiction. When these steps have been taken into considerations, then one can say that they are very much ready and willing to stop their addiction.

As you have said, it is good that one puts in place modalities to help them focus on course of eliminating their addictions. It is nice that as a gambler in other to do away with addiction, you should be able to do away with friends who you gamble with at first so that urge would gradually eroding away and followed by replacing your normal gambling time with a more tasking engagement that could make you forget about gambling based on the nature of the engagement you occupied the time with.

Some times it not about talking about stoping but what steps have you been able to take to show how serious you are to curtailing your gambling addiction. It is necessary to take some steps when you deem it fit quitting gambling.

The most effective way to stop gambling must come from yourself and have a strong desire not to do it again.

It's not a complete solution, but it's worth a try. Why do I say this is not a complete solution? The reason is simple, we make settings to block access to websites, so we can unblock access if we want to play. If it's a mobile application, we can uninstall it, but one day we can also reinstall it. Making settings like this can be tried, but I'm sure, if someone are really addicted, he will make the settings inactive whenever he wants.

Get used to living a disciplined life and uphold the desire that arises in your heart not to gamble anymore. Something that comes from the heart will be very easy to apply in life, especially if you realize that you have spent a lot of money on gambling.

This has always been my belief when it comes to gambling addiction. To stop addiction is all about how well disciplined are you. I know how hard it is to overcome because I ever experienced addiction, though, not gambling but when I made up my mind to stay away from it and discipline myself, I eventually overcome it. There's absolutely nothing you can not achieve when you have self discipline but the moment you allow your mind to control you, you are in doom already. In the case of gambling, it will be very easier to practice how to stay from addiction since the factors that influence are very obvious.

There is this saying that a problem known is half solve and we already know the problem of addiction. So in that regard, One way to address the problem is to set limits for yourself and stick to them. You can set limits on the amount of money you're willing to spend on gambling and the amount of time you're willing to spend gambling. You should also set limits on the number of bets you're willing to place. Another strategy is to find other activities to fill the time you would normally spend gambling. Idleness also contribute to addiction. You should engage yourself in something meaningful and productive. This could include spending time with friends or family, exercising, or taking up a new hobby like watching movies if necessary.

The gambler should engaged himself on the other activities like new business which increase the income to multiple way.Because to the current economy,the one way of the income will not satisfy all of our needs in our day to day life.The gambler can also mange their time by playing the other game in offline,by this their physical activities also increased because of the offline game like cricket.So the gambler will have less time to do gambling,in this way he can increase the income and also can reduce the gambling addiction.When the gambler not ready to follow this steps,he will have their wish to back to gambling again and again.

If the gambler thinks about creating new activities that can prevent him from thinking about gambling again, it can help him reduce his gambling activities. And if he can create a new business, that's even better because his focus now will be on developing his business to progress even further. He will not use his free time to gamble but will look for ways or innovations that can help him develop his business so that he can forget about gambling. Or he can do sports activities where he has to use his physical body to exercise. When he is tired, he needs rest so he won't think about gambling because he is too tired to do other activities. A gambler can reduce his gambling activities in many ways, depending on what he wants.

Actually, this type of measure is useless as it can be redone within a few seconds/minutes. Even if you break your computer/laptop/mobile phone you can not stop yourself if you can't control yourself mentally. You can buy a new one and create a new account there or recover the previous one.

Those that want to leave their addiction behind need to set some reasonable goals as well, as once they make the realization they have a problem they may think that everything will go back to the way it was, but this is not really the truth.

It could take them a few relapses before they can leave their addiction for good, also all the things they did during that state could have generated a great deal of distrust among their friends and family members, and they cannot expect for all of those things to get forgotten just because now they are fine, so they will have to spend a great deal of time trying to rebuild their relationship with their loved ones before things finally return to normal.

As I have always maintained, and will continue to do so, the key to overcoming any addiction (be it gambling or another) is self-control. Your individual experience serves as evidence for this. How you play the hands you are dealt is what matters most. Additionally, with discipline, it is possible to consistently execute them correctly

Gambling - it's a game, a game of chance. However, life? Chance should not govern one's life. It ought to be a preferred pastime. You also mentioned that establishing limits is an excellent strategy. Establish strict boundaries and adhere to them. Time limits, monetary limits, and wager limits—everything! Additionally, change things up if you find yourself compelled to engage in gambling. Find an alternative, productive pursuit. Invest in a hobby, spend time with loved ones, or watch movies; avoid wagering at all costs. Bear in mind that idleness is the workshop of the adversary, and we certainly do not wish to provide him with any resources, do we? Remain disciplined and robust, and play your cards perfectly at all times

One thing he can effectively do when he wants to stop himself from always visiting the website is a keypad phone because no matter how much he craves to play, he can't do anything about it because he has just lost access to it. This step is recommended for some people who are addicted to porn but it may be effective for a person who is addicted to online gambling as well because he no longer sees any advertisement concerning it. But considering the fact we are living in a world full of technology, this is just temporary and when he finally forgets everything, he can just simply resume using his smartphone.

Better to do something that will keep yourself busy, I agree with physical activities since not just your body but also your brain will be used and with that, thinking back again in things that related to gambling may not be present as like what you say, possible that since the body is tired what the brain wants is to let that body to rest..

Giving that time to not to think of anything but to rest completely and just do the same thing the following day to stay clear and away from any form of gambling.

Well agree and in my opinion this is indeed a pretty good alternative as an action or process to quit gambling addiction, by trying to increase your activities or them physically in your daily life such as adding part-time jobs or helping parents to farm in the garden, this is a great way to keep yourself busy, as you said if our bodies are busy or active then surely our brains will also participate in thinking about what we are doing, and this will be very useful to keep your mindset away from gambling.

As we know that usually people will gamble when in their minds crossed the following curiosity by saying "it looks like I will be lucky now", and by occupying yourself then I am sure you will avoid the attack of temptation that enters your mind. Honestly, right now I'm feeling it where my daily work is increasing whether it's office work or work at home accidentally, and now I just realized that I haven't touched gambling for a long time and somehow now my interest in gambling is decreasing. Therefore if you can refrain from gambling for a week for example then the next time you should never touch again because surely after that you will be addicted again. Please try it if you don't believe me, I have proven it haha.

The best way to quit gambling is not to spend the day thinking about quitting gambling or avoiding gambling thoughts. Intentionally distract yourself. And the best way is to find a course and following it genuinely. It could be to teach school kids in inner cities or impoverish environments this is a good course to follow. To keep your mind busy and redirect your purpose and aspiration.

If this doesn't work then try learning a hard skill. It would definitely do it.

I have seen several topics here and other discussion thread where many people talked about gambling addiction. So many procedures been stated to follow sequentially to reduce the rate at which one frequently visit online gambling sites and possibly their application if they do have any of them.

I remember in one of the threads I raised up a point which was long hidden as the thread became too numerous and lengthy to continue the conversation on that topic. It was my opinion to add up in profering solutions to gambling addiction. I believe not too many people saw it to to say something about it so that is why I had to bring it up as a topic hear. I want to hear your opinion and ideas towards it.

Here is it;

I am of the opinion that since gambling sites are mostly online and some has adds that pops up as advert on visited site, one should be able to disable or change their browser settings  by blocking casino adds and as well disabling  gambling sites on their browser settings so as not to gain access to it anymore till the number of days they deem fit to their resolve. This was just a little tip I gave as a possible solution. I had to put it up here for further discussions so that the bigger community can see it as  well.

If you feel or think here is not the right place for this you can say it. I am open to corrections as we all are here to learn.

I don't think these tips will work. Blocking everything or even disconnecting the affected person from the internet completely won't help. In many countries there even exist databases of gambling addicts which should prevent them from entering casinos and gambling places but they somehow still find a way (online and crypto gambling help to avoid such bans). You need to go visit your psychologist as it's mostly a mental issue (addiction).

I believe one with self discipline and determination can be able to achieve it if they really want to Stop gambling as an addict. If a person is desperate to Stop gambling, they must set up a guideline for which they must adhere to in other to stop it. Although visiting the psychologist is part of the plans because that would guide you through the process on things to do or follow to avoid gambling.
It takes self discipline as an addicted gambler to block adds and casino pop up on your device.

But it can be useful if the gambler doesn't hold the access I mean, theres a lot of app that can lock, block certain app or website wireless meaning other person's device could have the privilege to lock certain apps and webiste to gamblers device. I do that once to my friend he asked for helped and I come up with this idea as I'm well known when it comes to technology. And it is effective for him because even he begs for me to unlock the website for him I didn't listen, in short I helped him a lot, so I suggest anyone who could read this try this method but of course to your trusted friend or family, it is worth to try than doing it on your own and you know you couldn't go anywhere by doing it alone, seek out for help that will help you with your addiction.

I agree with keeping ourselves busy by doing something related to physical activity so that our minds will not think about gambling, so we can focus more on doing that activity. When we are very tired, our brain will not be able to tell the body to do anything else, and what we need at that time is to rest and sleep so that we can do other physical activities the next day.

If we can do it regularly for some time, I think the brain can refresh and clean out everything related to gambling so that it is replaced with other interesting things. And slowly, there will be changes felt by the gambler or at least the people closest to him can see that he still has a chance to cure himself of his gambling addiction.

As we have seen , the possible Measures to determine the Addiction in the game Could be many, but if we could only see ourselves from a deeper point of view, we should not Realize that some things are like that, and they are about how to be better in the game, Is it due to lack of something? Maybe if we are educated with a financial culture, and if we put it in a high stratum, consequently, when we are in a casino we will have a greater Desire to take risks , and not to bet so much, but Financial education does teach us that The casinos are fun, they are ways where you can lose money, and if there is the possibility of winning, but they are Minimal possibilities and that is why we must Realize quickly, in view of that the casinos should run a campaign where Incite or Explain why it is good to have a high financial education in the time of being in a casino, because obviously not all the money will be spent, but a little, which the person is destined to Lose.

If this happens like this, I think that many cases of Addiction can be avoided, but I said this just as an idea, maybe it is not so good, but it is very viable, because if we put a Warren Buffet to play in some case like that, I am I'm sure that man , Unless he wants to spend a lot of money in the casino just for fun, will do it, but I think it's one of the people who don't like to lose money, so they know how to place their bets, with little money, with money that they want to see the omco casino if it were a service that they are paying for, something Like that is how they See it, then this shows that they are not going to spend more money, secondly they will not fall into Addiction, Thirdly they will not spend a lot of money because it is obvious that they They take care, and thirdly they will enjoy it even more, because they know and understand that a casino is a company or business whose Purpose is to win and not lose , that they will Always consider their home advantage to ensure theirProfits.
