Learning from those who have experience

[masulum]

If you find the people who had quit the gambling after the addiction,you can use their strategy to reduce the gambling activities.Many gamblers won’t quit the gambling after the advice from the other friends.Because his mind will not accept the other words,the gambler start to play the game secretly.

That's right, I experienced it, several years ago, I ignored someone's advice not to play every day. but I actually play every day. Until finally I used the money I saved and ran out.  ::)The only thing stopping me is the limited money I can spend. Plus other unexpected events that made me responsible for my brother's debts, this situation not giving me possibility gambling. Can I stop? No, I still gamble sometimes, but not so intensely anymore, and only use small amounts of money from campaign, when i feel i can use it to gamble.

That's true because if the gambler has no serious awareness and intention, he will not be able to stop or reduce his gambling activities. Everything will return to the person who lives it, and even if someone forces him to stop gambling, he still can't stop, and he might gamble secretly. And even though his life has become poor, he still cannot give up gambling, he will return to gambling, but maybe his gambling will adjust to his finances. Gambling activities are only for fun and entertainment, so they cannot use it as a way to make money, let alone passive income. They should know that it will be difficult for them to win regularly because gambling is not designed to give wins to the gambler but to the casino.

You will not get addicted if you know how to handle things yourself and just having an idea what these addicts will do will be sufficient enough for you to stay in the safe zone. Gambling might be hard to ignore but this is just a challenge that we need to endure if we are really inclined to gamble and we need to face it so that we cannot be one of those list who need help but chose not to because they don't know how deep they are already.

I don't know why people have very negative about gambling. Like when they hear the word gambling, the first thing that comes to their mind is addiction, next is losing money and their home.  Maybe it's true because many people broke their life from it because they cannot control themselves and  that what you need to observe. The problem is not the gambling industry doing their business. The problem is the person participating yet they are not ready for the risk.

The real challenge is not in the probabilities of each bet. The real battle is inside the psychology of those unprepared to gamble.

While many demonize gambling as the root cause of addiction and financial ruin, isn't it time we shift the blame from the industry to the individual? After all, countless activities can lead to addiction, but we don't vilify them all. Maybe it's the lack of self-control and inability to understand risk that's truly at fault. Let's stop blaming the game and start holding players accountable for their choices.

I have not be addicted to gambling before but I have been able to successfully break free from other maladaptive habits. If you don't mind, I will be happy to share  how I broke free which is basically the same core principles of breaking free from any other addiction.

-First, be honest with yourself and the fact that you need to break free from the addiction
- Second, talk to someone about it. The person could be a therapist, a close friend. Someone you trust and you know would help you fight through.
- Third, eliminate if possible all items or objects that could serve as a trigger for the addictive behaviour
- Fourth, find a new habit to replace the old one. This will help you have something to fall back on when you feel the urge or something to keep you occupied.
- Fifth, join a community of people who are on the same path with you.

These may sound simplistic but I know they are not however, since other people have beat the addiction you too can.

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"

People can go through various stages of life, some start off with very little money and prospects - maybe throwing away any spare change they can get on different habits, like gambling or drugs. Then, one of two things will happen - they either burn through it, wake up to the realization that they fell too deep into the hole and decide not to hit it again or they sink entirely. Those who get a grasp and remove themselves from the temptation for a period of time, maybe a year or maybe ten, can get stronger once they regain their feeling of self control. They move on to a new stage of life, hopefully growing wiser from their previous experiences and they may have enough control at one point to gamble once or twice a year in the right setting.

Somewhere, even on a subconscious level, you want to play, win and prove to those who told you not to play every day that they were wrong. So there is an opposite effect from those who give such advice. At least I think that's what I would do.
The question that worries me is, what if you win the jackpot, what will you do then, continue to play every day or finally stop? If you continue to play, then this is pure addiction to the game.

Sure. If we always gamble in the right way and never gamble excessively, we can avoid the addiction. We need to be discipline and has he some limitations, so we can handle everything properly. I suggest that we have certain rules for ourselves in gambling, we need to obey the rules for healthy gambling. For example, we limit the time to gamble in each day, may be around 2 hours as the maximum time. Then, we need to allocate the maximum funds to use daily. And we must to remind ourselves to never take a loan for gambling. If we obey these rules, I think we can avoid addiction.

*We limit the time and funds allocation daily, but doesn't mean we must gamble everyday. There should be time for no gambling time. On weekend, it will be better to gather with family and lovely friends.

I have never been addicted to gambling, however all the addictions despite their superficial differences are roughly the same, a person will need a period of a full year to detox themselves from an addiction, also it is often recommended that unless absolutely necessary you never engage on the same activity to which you were addicted.

And this is because even if you can control it you are only one mistake away from becoming addicted again, and some therapists go even further than that and prefer that you even avoid places and people which may lead you in that direction again.

Few years ago, i'm a kind of gambler who gamble without discipline. I forgot my responsibilities to my family and rarely go out with friends because I prefer to just gamble. Gambling is more enjoyable and the thought of winning really gave me the eagerness to continue what i'm doing. I started playing in moderation then I became out of control. What changed me is when I almost lost my family due to gambling. I took a vacation away from the city and gadgets (everything that can tempt me to gamble) with the support of my family. It's not easy but if you're determine to overcome your gambling addiction then you can definitely change for the better. I'm still playing now but not often unlike before.

Yes, this mistake arises due to the lack of responsibility of individuals in gambling, so they become addicted and have difficulty curing their gambling addiction. They really need to realize that they have a gambling addiction so they need to go to a professional who can help them cure their gambling addiction. Each gambling addict can block the thought or desire to gamble but unfortunately, this is lost to the urge to gamble and many of them are even unable to resist the urge to gamble. If they are willing to learn to overcome their desire to gamble, they will see opportunities to do other things that have nothing to do with gambling. They need encouragement to do something different from their routine activities, where they need to create or build new activities.

Yes, this can be due to a lack of responsibility and also maybe they are not strict enough with all the boundaries that they have previously set up, oh yes in my opinion, especially if they have a personality that is easily provoked or provoked by something that makes them emotional so they are very likely to get caught there. I think they have realized that they are addicted and I am sure they also want to stop or get out of the addiction zone but well maybe you also know or have felt how it is there, it is very difficult to get out of gambling addiction my friend, the brain and mind are like something is taking over, honestly I have felt it. Asking for professional help maybe it can, but I don't think it will work because professionals are still the same gamblers who can even do things they don't want at all. But I think a good alternative to quitting or quitting the addiction is maybe you can find a new hobby that is just as fun but without the risk, you can find an activity like adding a job maybe, because slowly I think you will be able to forget about gambling.

Yes that's right, basically it's very difficult, but if they really want to stop then there must be ways they can do it, don't just talk through words but start with action, that's all I think.

My personal experience says that what makes people addicted to gambling is the desire to win the jackpot. I had felt that way. The solution that I have implemented is to just enjoy gambling as a game. Don't even think about winning big bets and jackpots. I often bet on UFC fights but I only bet about $20 and it's really fun because there's like an adrenaline rush when you watch the fight.

It's true, the desire to get a lot of money through gambling and get one life changed is basically what makes everyone gamble more even after losing. It's a strong feeling when you are deprived of the things that you like to have in your life and you see others having them. You keep thinking of the ways that can provide you with at least the possibility of gaining everything you want, and gambling is the easiest way that provides the possibility for people to achieve their goals.

However, people don't consider the fact that gambling is not a guaranteed way of achieving everything, and only a very small possibility doesn't mean that one spends everything they have or earns on gambling because whether you will get something or not from gambling is totally dependent on your luck.

[masulum]

The question that worries me is, what if you win the jackpot, what will you do then, continue to play every day or finally stop? If you continue to play, then this is pure addiction to the game.

After I hit the jackpot, I was still playing at that time. I played the next day and some days of the week I used some of my winnings to gamble again. At that time, everything is still under control, there are no problems in mylife. Until the money from the jackpot runs out, I use is the money I saved. In fact, I always refused to be considered addicted, because I thought, I only played 1 season in 1 day, with a certain amount of money. But, when I lost, the next day I played, I always hoped for the jackpot, and continued to do so. That's when I admitted that I was addicted. However, financial problems have a positive effect for me in reducing gambling, for the first time I'm able to stay away from gambling even not opening the gambling account that I have.

[inthelongrun]

I have been gambling for many years already and up to now I still continue to gamble regularly. For many years of experience, the was only one time when I had regrets when I gambled amounts that I considered right now as bigger than I could afford to lose although during that time the amounts were tolerable since I was very liquid.

I know that even educated people can still be addicted to gambling. It is very hard to control our emotions so the best way to plan before starting to play or bet. Make a limit on our bets and the amount should not hurt us if we are to lose. Also, it is necessary to make time limits for our gambling activities. Set an alarm if possible so we can stop at the right time. The is a lot of stuff to do rather than gamble all day long.

I think the moment you used all the money you have win from winning the jackpot, it is considered addicted. Because to continue playing even after winning and you starts losing, it gives you the thinking of maybe the next one will make you win. It's not an obvious act but this is actually the beginning of addiction.

It is true that due to lack of self control gamblers are more at risk actually there is no fault of the game here but it is better to control yourself. If not controlled in time gambling tendencies can reach addiction. Addiction often creates an unstable emotional state, with a greater tendency to react with irritability and anger and hostility toward the constant upheaval of the day. We should not forget that the indomitable nature of participating in online gambling underestimates the harmful potential of this type of addiction and the symptoms it manifests through.

Yes, it's true that this is the initial characteristic of people who are addicted to gambling or are still considered not very mature, they are still new players, even people who have been gambling for a long time know when they have to stop gambling and withdraw their winnings as soon as possible from the casino, usually new players still don't. controlled from greed so that when you win you still want to get an even bigger win to get rich quickly.

To be honest, I was like that in the past, but after learning a lot from defeat, I realized that it is not victory that must be pursued, but defeating the feeling of greed within myself because that will make it easier for me to use a healthy mindset when gambling, fortunately I am gambling now. just to have fun nothing more, always have a limited budget for gambling so when I win I will withdraw the money but if I lose, let's just say I paid for the entertainment because it makes me happy.

They might go on this way if they follow someones activity especially those influencer. Its hard to follow them since we don't know they show realistic result or just a fake one that's why gamble on your own pace and always in right mind to decide whether what condition you are experiencing on. Would be so hard if we get addicted since no one will take charge to help us but only ourselves if we go thru this condition so always bare in mind thag game responsibly.

The first step is to admit your mistake. That way, you will be able to see the problem and devise a solution. However, although you know the solution, the challenging part is the implementation of the solution. When a gambler is addicted, it's their emotions that dictate them, not their mind, and a lack of intelligence can be very risky, as it can lead to bigger problems.

It's not easy, but it's not impossible. Just keep learning and learning, and eventually, you'll end up becoming a disciplined gambler if you haven't become homeless yet.

Yeah, we can say a gambler is win in gambling when he already become a responsible gambler.

Gambling surely make we lose our money in the long run, we need to understand when to continue and stop during gambling. If we're already make a good amount of profit, we should need to quit and then celebrate our winning. If we're lose, we also need to quit and don't deposit anymore, just play again tomorrow and hope it will be your's day.
