Learning from those who have experience

[Mauser]

I want to ask those of you who have a hard addiction experience in gambling and then you can treat it yourself, and today still playing gambling but with the principle of good management and financial management in gambling.
I want to know how you break away from the addiction, you can mention the actions taken or what kind of steps? And how long do you need time to break away from the addiction that has been experienced?

"I want to find out because I think your experience in the case as I mentioned will be useful for readers, especially for me personally"

I have never been addicted to gambling myself, but I have lived with people who are addicted to drugs, cigarettes and alcohol. My college roommate ruined his life with taking drugs all the time and is now living at a community farm because he can't live on his own anymore and hold a job. And my uncle died at 60 from being an alcoholic most of his life. In my opinion all these addictions are very similar and it doesn't matter if you are attracted to gambling, cigarettes or drugs. What I can tell you from my personal experience is that there is no happy living after beating your addiction. In case you are already addicted to gambling, then you need a clear break with it. It's not going to be that you find a way to life with gambling. The problem is that too many addicts are struggling with relapses and you need get completely off the thing you thinking about all the time. Maybe after 10 years it will be different and you can try again slowly to come back to gambling, but until then I you should be focusing on getting your life in order.

Each person's character is different, not the same and moreover discussing addiction will never end in this forum, you might be able to find many ways in this forum about addiction and how to get out of there, I don't know whether this will also be a mega thread Also later, I hope you pay attention to this Utas also every time and lock it at any time if you feel enough to know the answer you are looking for.

I have a friend he just changes his mindset to be able to reduce his addiction, you must remember that the process to quit gambling addiction takes a long time, the first thing to reduce your gambling activity then move away from everything related to gambling, for example if you are addicted to gambling Online then avoid activities related to the internet, after that looking for other activities of social activities will be better or busy working will help you reduce it. Just follow the process everything runs after that you will stop alone.

If someone is addicted to gambling, it is not something that is easy for him or her to easily control himself or herself over because it has become part of their blood. The worst part of finding it very hard to control themselves over gambling is when someone does not have any source of income but tries to only rely on gambling so that their dreams can be fulfilled.
 
But despite that, when someone is addicted to gambling, it is something that cannot be cured easily. When you always find yourself busy in other ways that money is coming out, you may not later carry gambling as a serious thing again. I have a friend who is seriously addicted to gambling. If he doesn't bet one day, he will be thinking that he wasted an opportunity. But honestly, when he finds other means of getting money that are not related to gambling, which always make him busy all the time, gradually, my friend quits gambling. Let's know that it is hardly possible for a busy person to get addicted to gambling because they will never have much time for that.

Some people will says that gambling is a good way of earning but in my opinion gambling is a bad addiction and addiction does not go easily. A gambler have to minimize the timing for gambling, minimize the money for gambling and then he should overcome it by involving just one time in a week.

I think if a person is so busy in gambling that he initiate selling of whole things to utilize the amount in gambling then getting rid of such habit will takes too long time and gambler himself has no idea that what is bad or good for him because he is in continues trying of getting more money so in such greed he loss his each and everything even his own value in a society.

I agree with this.

For me, gambling isn't suitable to be a full time profession and source of income. It is a form of entertainment that could bring satisfaction and relaxation to you. A form of hobby or pass time that could let you earn on the side. But most often, people do not think of this, and rather view gambling as a scheme to get rich quickly when in fact it doesn't work like that. You can become addicted and dependent on gambling if you won't limit yourself from betting and playing. Hence, establishing boundaries is essential to prevent yourself from falling into it. Boundaries include but not limited to having a specific time and fund allocated for gambling.

Once you experience deep regret in your gambling like losing a lot of money or ruining a relationship, there will be a realization of what you are doing wrong that will be the time that you will seek help on how to cure your addiction, my addiction is not really deep but there were signs that I'm turning into a drug addict and I need a cure or someone that can help me.
I have a friend who got cured of addiction and he gave a lot of great advice like focusing more on family limiting my time and trying to be as relaxed as possible so I can think clearly for the best action whenever there is an urge to gamble, people should gamble if they want to not because they need to.

Gambling addiction is not easy to get rid of. Good thing that I was never addicted to it. However, from my observation from other gamblers, when they want to break their addiction, they start to develop some hobbies like arts or any recreational activity that will divert their attention from gambling. That way, they will minimize their gambling activities until they can finally say that they can live normally even without gambling. In addition, if they can set a good project like saving for a vacation or putting up a business, probably that will also help to lessen their gambling activities so they can easily save money for their new project.

I never had an addiction but I helped a lot of friends with addiction, The key is constant communication I noticed that the less time that they are in casinos or online casinos and cultivating a new interest the better for them to forget gambling, the most important thing is replacing the dopamine effect that gambling is giving them.
Gamblers are always in denial and are defensive in nature, so their loved ones should find a way to reach them and open up, Communication is very important so if you think you are suffering from addiction and you want a cure it's better to reach out to your love ones to help you get rehabilitate.

I will just add a little story about the gambling experience that I see in general, that someone who will start playing gambling before they have made a plan or strategy that will be played in the gambling, and they are aware and ready to lose their money. if you lose and there are also those who hope for luck in gambling.
Someone who is addicted to gambling will find it difficult to stop playing, but sometimes if he has experienced such a big problem, maybe he will repent and stop gambling. It does take a long time to be able to control or stop gambling.

Basically it has to be like that, like you said before they want to gamble they have to agree with themselves first, whatever happens they have to accept including defeat and before they gamble they also have to prepare money that they will not argue or even get emotional if the money is finally lost, I think that's a responsible gambler. Yes and probably everyone already knows that if it has entered the stage of addiction it will be very difficult to stop, I think there are two factors that can make them stop, first maybe like you said they experienced something big or a big loss, and secondly I think boredom can come to them. Honestly I'm one of those people who can quit because of boredom, not because of too many defeats but defeats can also be boring, but honestly for myself I purely quit because I was bored with the game there, even after getting a win I felt normal and the thrill seemed to disappear. I honestly don't know what happened to me, but I'm very happy that I was finally able to quit and the curiosity in my mind was finally gone.

I really believe that asking this kind of subjective inquiry will only result to tons of spam opinions that doesn’t really came from a gambking addict user. More or less you will only get an opinion from a signature campaign poster that posting in gambling board for the sake of gambling post requirements even though they re not really gambling.

Don’t gamble if you don’t want to be addicted. Asking an advice from a previous gambling addict is a waste of time since experience teach them how to overcome it that means you will need to experience it first before you overcome since addiction can’t be fight while you are not starting yet on your gambling journey.

Comparing gambling with substance addiction ignores some subtle differences. Psychological effects can be similar, but physiological effects, especially in substance misuse, are severe
Additionally, "no happy living after beating your addiction" is a false assumption. Many, including me as a controlled gambler, have learned to moderate such habits. Telling someone to "come back to gambling after 10 years" is illogical. Relapse is risky - why bother? Knowing one's limits and creating a structured atmosphere are more important than avoidance. Relapse is a risk, but with strong support and self-awareness, one can have a full life after addiction

It seems you read the situation with this thread well.
Do you have to ask for advice directly? Because many former addicts have given their advice to other people and these people spread it through the media, through books and several articles. Or ask a psychologist who knows more about addicts, it doesn't mean the psychologist has ever been an addict. Addiction cannot be fought, but it can be prevented with self-awareness when they get into gambling. They must know what the risks are.

I'm not addicted to gambling but know someone who seems addicted. I'm only basing it based on what I can see from him but there's no actual diagnosis of gambling addiction. And I think the younger you are, it's easier to stop your gambling addiction since you will still have plenty of time and things you haven't experienced yet in real world. And those experiences growing up might help you stop your addiction. For example, as you grow up, you realize that you will have more and bigger responsibility and gambling isn't part of it. Also young minds, is easier to convince to have a different perspective. But if you're already old and you've been gambling most of your life, it'll be harder to stop that addiction. Cause that's what you've been doing for years so it would need a lot of effort and time to change that. Maybe the thing that could make them realize things and stop their addiction is when they've experience losing something or someone important because of gambling.

Not to brag, but I'm happy to share my experience in overcoming gambling addiction because I've successfully managed it and have been consistently making money from trading for over a year now. Like many of my previous posts in this forum, it's crucial to take sufficient breaks between consecutive losses or wins to regain control of your emotions. Take some time to review all your trades, whether in trading or gambling, to learn from your experiences. I recommend starting with this practice before considering more long-term strategies. You'll definitely notice a significant difference if you can consistently follow these steps correctly.

Maybe I have experienced a gambling addiction, but it seems like the gambling addiction I experienced is not yet a serious gambling addiction. The method I use is only by reducing gambling activity and trying to form new habits that are different from usual for a while, maybe more than 1 month, I can distract myself from thinking about gambling.

You have to create a new habit to divert your mind from gambling so you can forget about it while you are busy with this new activity. Do it for a week or two and see how it goes. And if you feel that it is still not enough, you can continue until you can really divert your attention from gambling. But everything will not work if you don't have a strong intention to reduce gambling activities because everything depends on us who live it.

OP, whether you believe it or not, in general every individual involved in the world of gambling has their own way, whether it's to stop or try gambling.

If you gamble, you have to believe in the meaning of gambling itself, maybe there are hundreds of sayings that many people say, maybe I will give you one quote that is meaningful about addiction.

Gambling is an action and a form of game that is a matter of chance for those who take part in it.

In the quote above, maybe you can draw one conclusion, you gamble really based on luck. In this way, it will be easy for you to come to the conclusion to stop or play gambling, if you think that gambling is a benefit or bad luck for you, Of course, it's quite easy for you to decide on one conclusion, stop or play as luck.

The character was the major reaction for not retrieving from the addiction.Because some people will have the attitude in their way of approach,So they won’t accept your words at the time of the addiction.To be frank,they never hear your words at their addiction.The gamblers capacity will be the soul reason to recover from the addiction.

The OP may get enough words to retire from the addiction,So self control will be the important reason.One of my friends get away from the addiction by their own efforts.Because his wife said,she will divorce him.If he not quit the gambling.For his family he had made the self control and quit the gambling addiction.Even now he is playing the gambling without the knowledge of his wife.He had not quit the game,he just reduce the game.Most important was he is not playing gambling in his home.

The steps mentioned will provide an opportunity to release an addiction of 80% of the level of success, and many other members also give their opinions about how OP can release addiction by personal self, all these stages will succeed 100% if the OP does the stage as a whole without much thinking, and Or uncomfortable with friends or the environment who used to play gambling not to gather again with them, because I also did this one year ago, and proved effective.

After everything is finished, there will be an open thought and good self -control, so you will get wisdom in gambling if you want it again op, like me now, but it should be remembered that this is not easy to do, you need time to arrive at Your point has wiser and more mature thoughts in responding to gambling.

I personally have never been addicted to gambling, but I do have some very close friends who once have been or currently are addicted to gambling.  It's heartbreaking as I know all to well how strong of a hold addiction can have on people.

Of those friends of mine whom were addicted that now are "better", I've simply seen a lot counseling (seeing someone for one on ones) as well as having called gambling addiction hotlines.  You've got to really want to it though.  Those who truly wanted to fix things put in the effort and it paid off.
