Learning from those who have experience

[Dr.Bitcoin_Strange]

Although I have not been addicted ever since I started gambling, I really don't even take gambling very seriously, and I am now very busy with business and other activities. But for someone who had addiction, according to him, how he broke out of it was to just be first of all determined that he had a bad gambling habit, then derive some strategy that helped him finally stop gambling, although he never stopped it instantly. I think that every compulsive gambler had their own strategy before they could stop gambling.

I have no experience of addiction in gambling, I always play but there are limits at certain times, for example on weekends, this does not cause gambling addiction every day, of course, still overcoming not to be addicted.

Yeah of course with the principle of management and money management must be good if not it can be spent on gambling, you have to be as small as possible the percentages that are generated for gambling but I saw in another thread the average of their income is 5-10 percent for gambling so I say it's still not a severe addiction.

If you want to quit you must have a strong principle to quit gambling sometimes this is difficult to do and help in any way such as to a psychologist I think they can help and guide you to a healthy path.

[goldkingcoiner]

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 do not necessarily think that one can step away from addiction, or at least not forever. Addiction is an intrinsic human experience and as much as we dislike it, unless we tread carefully around the traps of dopamine abuse, we can easily become addicted to whatever the source of the dopamine rush was. For some people the lure of addiction is much stronger than others, so for them, it is just best to avoid things like rewarding your own bad behavior with dopamine-releasing drugs or actions.

Addiction is a disease and needs medical care, and/or professional consultation, if someone falls into a subsequent spiral of uncontrol, the only thing that saves them is not to bet again,really, how to explain it; only healthy people can to gambler, that is, they lose or win, they come out well process, for example, it is always a mistake to think that the losing addict is the sick one and the winner is not an addict or the one who manages to dominate his times is not, but it is only a matter of time.

The addiction to betting is a mental illness. You can't get the thought out of playing, just playing, winning or losing is irrelevant to the addict.

I can give you advice on how if you have a downsing, then, don't worry, keep your level of bets and don't change anything you've been doing well, reduce the size of the bet, or simply take a vacation, in my case around 2015,(+-) I totally retired from poker,I came back as who says to try crypto poker casinos and I'm here again.

You do not have to prove yourself when you are in bad situations, on the contrary, retiring at any time, it is a test that every player must do, at some point in his life, be it due to fatigue, family life, children, others, etc.

So drugs are an external influence that can speed up the addiction process, I also just heard about dopamine which influences the addiction process and has a bad effect on anything. It acts as a sedative so you don't panic too much when gambling, always calm but has a bad effect. this will be a more complex problem, not just gambling addiction but also drug addiction.

[sunsilk]

Maybe I have experienced a gambling addiction, but it seems like the gambling addiction I experienced is not yet a serious gambling addiction.

Serious or not, as long as you've been addicted in gambling, that's all that matters.

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.

It is a nice method and really could work. Looking for some distractions so that you won't be able to gamble is a strategy that can work for the most.

But for someone who can't do it, I don't know what to think about them. When you're taking your time doing it and some activities is eating up your time, you'll eventually forget to gamble and even your addiction.

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.

If you feel bored, that is purely your own personal nature, perhaps it could also be said to be a way to stop gambling and boredom can occur because someone has been doing any activity for a long time and wants to try something new, it is true that someone is old. Over time you will feel bored with gambling if you do it for fun, but this is not the case for people who are addicted to gambling, they will play continuously because they hope for luck in gambling.

Personally, when it comes to recovering from a gambling addiction, it is not always that easy, and likewise that goes to drug addict, and all other form of addiction, whereby for anyone to fully recover, one needs to have a very strong mindset to change, and disconnecting himself from any environment the will tempt him/her into gambling, which for me, I can only see that for those who intends fully recover must take the right step in meeting the trained medical personal specialist whose job is the help "strong addict" with the right treatment plan recover fully from gambling gradually.

We have to do diversification so that our minds are not always thinking about gambling. That's what I did to take my mind off gambling. At least it worked for me and now I don't think about gambling too often because I realized that there is a lot I can do besides just gambling.

Maybe they can do different things and not just sit idly by because that can make our minds go back to thinking about gambling. We have to actively do whatever we want and without procrastinating so that no time is wasted just sitting still. You can try it if you want.

I agree, there are a lot of ways, steps, and trials for them. Addiction is addiction no matter what, even if that is gambling or drugs.
That's why we have a lot of rehab these days for a lot of kinds of addiction.
I think the most common problem of other are they don't know they are already into addiction or they can't admit and it will lead to not seeking help for some professionals.

[khiholangkang]

Thank you for providing advice on what steps to take, everyone has their own story and way of doing this, I would like to thank @Drawesome @Die_empty @Kakmakr @bitbollo and @aylabadia05 for providing the steps directly, it would be very useful for me in dealing with this, and on average it conveys the same pattern that I can say it is a credible step to take.
Sorry I can't reply one by one, but I thank you again for the people who have given their advice.

Some people say why not read the article directly, ask the experts, I think it's much better to ask people who have experience in this matter directly, then some people suggest that I read topics that discuss the same attachments, actually I can do that. but it will take time and lots of messy posts, unfortunately I forgot not to use self-moderate for this my thread. 

[bitzizzix]

I used to be an active gambler but not addicted, and now I'm not like before who only gambled on weekends even when I felt like gambling.
At that time I didn't have a permanent job, but I did have income from freelancing, and the proceeds I always used to gamble because I had a lot of free time so I just gambled.
And after I had a permanent job, my gambling activities decreased because I didn't have time to do it and worked from Monday to Friday and apart from work I had enough rest time. And can only gamble on weekends with limited money and time and only to fill spare time after work stress.
And what made my gambling activities decrease again after I got married and had children, and this made me gamble less and less because on weekends is my time with my family.
And sometimes it's a shame if I spend money even though I don't have much money to gamble because my wife and children need it more, but that doesn't mean I don't gamble at all. And I still gamble when I have free time after prioritizing everything and when I really want to, and for just a few dollars, with money I can afford to lose.

And this experience really worked, because I had a friend who was addicted to gambling and he stopped gambling after he had a job, got married and had children. Because time is what keeps gamblers playing because there are no other activities that really matter, and there is also someone to keep them motivated.

It worked for you so it could and couldn't work for the others. But, I agree to what you've said that we have to spend our time in many things so that you'll get busy and you'll forget gambling.

Just catch up with other things that you have probably forgotten to do and that will force you to focus on it and then forget gambling later on.

The management of your time is important to help you overcome it. Those that have been strongly-willed are able to win over their addiction.

Haven't you heard that gambling addiction will immediately disappear, as soon as you run out of money, creditors will no longer trust you, and all your property will be mortgaged and sold?

So don't worry - very soon this disease will pass by itself.

Case Tip: Stop playing. At all. Eliminate the ability to play for yourself. Remove passwords from online casino accounts so that you can't log in and play.

This is impossible to do in online casino which is very easy to create an account since it doesn’t require KYC at first and it’s very convenient to deposit since they both accept crypto and fiat whichever works best to the player.

Removing the money available for gambling is the best thing to do just like your earlier thoughts. This helps me a lot when I have trouble before to manage my gambling addiction. I involved my wife for holding my finances and just ask money that I really need which my wife is very strict to control it as per my instruction too. 

[Jawhead999]

Each person has different way to stop gambling addict.

Let's say you were a gambling addict and you can stop gambling after winning $5,000, but some gamblers might will try to gamble more when they get a big amount of money. Most of them will stop after losing everything including their house.

It's better to force the gambling addict to meet a professional or doctor.

Gambling addiction takes a serious toll on a person's life. When a person becomes addicted to gambling, he is not considered a normal person. I have a lot of experience in gambling. But I never turned this gambling into an addiction. Although sometimes I was a bit attracted to gambling, but thinking about losing, I refrained from gambling. Whenever I thought about losing, I stopped betting. That's how I completely abstained from gambling and got my life on a nice tidy path. In fact there is no such thing as addiction it is entirely driven by human conscience. People can give up any addiction if they want to. Just need to awaken the will power of his mind. Then you will see that you have achieved success in everything.

Money is not the answer to many things, you can get addicted and yet in this situation money cannot help deal with it except you take some personal precautionary steps to ensure you get yourself free of this by yourself, gambling addiction is not that easily controlled, we may need the help of other factors to help us through this process and the first is to avoid having money with your gambling wallet account in other not to have access to gambling when you're not with money, you should not deal with the addiction first but what is causing the addiction should be your first priority.

I have a close friend who is a gambling addict, he spends about $10,000 a year, which is a lot of money for my country. Now he can stop, the reason why he stopped is simple, because he has no more money for deposit. Now he has debts at the bank, so his salary is used to pay the bank, he no longer has money to deposit on online gambling sites. That was the reason he could stop

But the experience above is still better, one of the youths in my city neighbor hanged himself because he lost a lot of money in online gambling. I don't know how much he spent on online gambling sites. However, this person was still very young and had not worked, maybe he was stressed because he lost so he decided to hang himself from the tree behind his house

It sounds like you're saying that the drop in gambling is a direct result of more tasks, which isn't always true or a good way to find relief

It's hard to take this: Not not having any duties to "distract" you is not the main problem; the problem is the gambling habit itself. The problem is still there, even though you've cut back on it because of work or family. How can you be sure that you've got it under control? Say something if things change. Have you thought about tools like self-exclusion programs, time-outs, or spending limits? For healthy gambling, this is what experts say you should do. Your current plan doesn't seem like a real answer; it's more like a band-aid. Something to think about
