QuitGamble.com - Free Help for Problem Gamblers

[lienfaye]

Gambling is dangerous, and I would advise anyone close to me to stay far from it because it's results are not friendly as pressumed. Gambling have dealt with me, I've complain and also worked on myself to become the better version. Gambling and recording streak losses have also become one of the discouraging records for me, though I never stop but keep placing wagering on games for better results. Addiction is the top challenge everyone faces this season but we just have to apply disciplinary measures if we care to survive for long in the system.

The scary fact is that gambling can ruin your life and at that, one needs to be very careful when it comes to gambling and the extent to which it affects our life most importantly affecting us in the most negative ways such in areas that.

1: the ability of gambling to make you become addicted and lead to financial loss and that is why we are always advising our friends and family against taking gambling as a means of making earns needs or trying to get rich fast through gambling.

But many people who became interested in gambling have this goal of making money through it. I think if there's no money involved, they will not engage themselves in this activity since they can't gain anything aside from the entertainment of playing different games.

Greed and unable to accept the result are just a few of many reasons on why gamblers are becoming addicted. Well, having someone (even online) to talk to who have the same problem and can relate to what you have been going through is good. It's not much but it has an impact on how to overcome the situation.

wrong , I think it will be better if there is no money involved because surely gambling will be more enjoyable and yeah can be addicted.
though there will be no greed involve instead all is for friendly competition but maybe far different approach from what we have now.

well  both addict talking to each other? for sure they will only share their addiction and their gaming and not what they have been doing and that is the sad part.

And in this sense, gambling can probably even be compared to some extent with a very strict and unforgiving teacher. 
And by the way, many of us probably remember our teachers who were really strict, but also fair.  I even think that any person, becoming an adult, often remembers just such teachers who really taught him something useful in life and taught him well becaase of rigor and fairness. 
I think that gambling can be considered a strict and fair teacher in a broad philosophical sense.

To a great extend, I agree with you, we can as well also compare or liken gambling to life itself, and this because life is a brutal and unforgiving teacher, life is ready to teach a man as many times as he or she needs to learn, and she doesn't care how much you have lost, or how difficult the lesson is, she will continue to you brutally without mercy until you learn.

Same also is gambling, for a gambler who fail to properly learn how to participate in gambling without getting involved in problems, such a gambler will keep encountering problems in gambling until he or she learns to gamble responsibly.

Though it's true, it's unfortunate that a lot of people are so stubborn that they don't stop until they ruin their lives and lose everything because of gambling, or get themselves stuck in a circle of loan repayments because of borrowing a lot of money for their gambling activities. They only realize their mistakes after it's all over for them, and they don't have anywhere to go anymore and that's why they can't continue to gamble as there are no funds for that.

A human being is created with a mind, that gives it the ability to think and understand things, but it ignores everything that comes in front of it only to continue doing what is ruining them slowly. I feel very sad for people who don't learn when they make a mistake for the first time or the first few times.

I would call people who really became serious gamblers a separate group of gambling addicts, but of course people of different races and religions who live, as it were, in their own world, parallel to ours. 
This is a world that combines their presence in games, in these fairy-tale worlds, and periodically they return to our real world, where they have only one major task - to find money somewhere in order to escape again into their world of games and dreams.  These people should be treated with pity, but also with the understanding that they simply live in a different world, slightly different from ours, and that in their own way they can even be happy in this world of theirs.  For example, when such an addicted gambling addict wins big.  But of course, I think, if possible, we need to help them return to our world, where many of them are loved by other people and these people are looking forward to their return with impatience and hope. 

This is all a bit of philosophical reasoning, but it seems to me that it is fair.

Starting from the fact that things with the prohibitions do not fit with me, at least with me, I am completely, I also agree when there are all kinds of prohibitions, because the priohibitions are not something correct, it is what they make us see as what We are sorry for something that we did not even do, those who do or commit mistakes are not of interest to them and furthermore those prohibitions do not apply to them either, so as a measure of this, I will never be in favor of prohibitions either for countries or for people who have to to do with casinos, because a casino is a means of entertainment, it is like a service for adults, and I say adults because it has to do with money and the deinrio is what is most taken care of in these cases, I personally would think that a People who like to ban many countries from their casinos are stopping making money, aren't they thinking like business people, are certain licenses safe? Perhaps, sometimes these licenses do not allow good management within a casino.

Casinos are places to have fun, so as not to rule out making some money, it is the norm to make money but you can also lose a lot of money, that is why every time you enter a casino you must have complete responsibility, very good money management and know that when things are tried to be done better, they have to happen, problem gamblers exist everywhere, in developed countries, allowed everywhere, governments believe that they are sometimes protecting people by prohibiting caisno, and casinos by government orders prohibit people from certain countries, what sense does this make? In fiat money casinos I'm not saying anything, they have total control, but in crypto casinos? This should not be allowed, I have always said that the use of Monero should be allowed, ignoring the things that governments can say about it, a government is its government and a particular economy is the particular economy.

This thread is getting a lot of support and discussions is ongoing at least OP should give us an update on how things are going I remember you sent me a message about linking up with casinos so how is it are you successful linking up and are you getting positive response from the casinos that you asked to link up, Bitcointalk community is all out in support of your cause.
I hope you get all the support from the majority of the casinos so you can support those who require help with gambling addiction, keep us updated for any developments.

The ops was last active on the 5th of December but the last comment on this thread from the ops was on the 15th-11 which is a long time ago and for sure with the space in time,  a lot has been discussed on this thread and for such will require some answers, anyways maybe op is taking his time to put out the reply to some of the comments and at such will not want to rush things since the thread already reserved positive responses from members of the forum since its creation as the service borders around what concerned many of us here as gamblers.

Since the thread is already getting more tractions and attention, we can continue with the discussions and also try to reach out to him through PM which i believe that he will get the alert on his mail address to notify him of an incoming message from the forum, if this is truly going to be as the same way it was aimed or targeted by OP, some gamblers will truly have a means of getting helped through various offers in the way they were being challenged while gambling.

It's been a lot of discussions in the thread. Not so many questions for me lately.
We haven't heard anything from any casinos about collaborations. If any casino is interested, don't hesitate to send me a message. By adding information on responsible gambling pages, you can help people find help if they struggle with gambling problems.

Since the thread started, QuitGamble.com has launched in Portuguese and French. Hopefully, we can add more content on the Spanish site soon as well. Tomorrow, our platform will reach 5000 members. Something we looked forward to for a long time.

Wow, 5000 members? That really alot buddy, a big congratulations on that achievement, this clearly shows that you are doing something really good, I personally did not believe that by now, the site would have grown to such extent, really amazing indeed.

And concerning site collaborations, I honestly do not know how things work really, but I was hoping that you be the one to reach out to the casinos for possible collaboration, and if they want such collaboration, they did approve or disapprove if they don't want.

And besides, do you really need casino's collaboration? Except you will be getting funding from the casinos, I think what you need is marketing.

Personal willpower is crucial to resisting gambling. The psychological appeal of gambling must also be considered. We could also promote self-regulation and mindfulness in our culture. Could community support groups or gambling psychology education be helpful? A community that encourages self-awareness and responsible gambling may help us address this issue on a personal and societal level

Exactly what social groups are to be for, if not to support individuals and even to expand the help outside to none members, it's not just about helping each other to raise financial help when one member is in need. I have seen a social group that comes out to educate people about a particular issue that is affecting the youth of that community, which were drug abuse, alcoholism, and gambling addictions.
 
They were going about educating people with a few flyers on how they could be able to stop whatever they were addicted to, and it was really a helpful orientation. I notice that day passed through them to the audience, which gave them a listening ear, so their age groups are like that, and if society can have more of that, it will really help some young gamblers who don't know their way around. We know information is all over the internet, but there are still people who pay attention to old-school ways.

this will be one of the best initiative if some gambling sites will collaborate in your worth a try
initiative and to show how they are really concern about their players and not only about their money, the business
must show interest in helping those cannot handle gambling properly meaning those irresponsible gamblers that needs help.

Having 500 members will shortly come , but have you not planning to extend your launching in Asian countries?
I think there is also a need in those sections .

On the time that you do already find yourself to be delusional because of the things that you are already imagining and cant really be possibly to happen then its a solid indicative sign that you are alread addicted to it.
People would really be make those kind of realizations on the time that they would really be experiencing some difficult situations or scenarios. Each person does have their own reasons on why they are really  that trying to think on things which cant really be that possible and trying out to fight on what they do believe or something that they do have in mind.

In speaking about quitting or getting rid of it, then we would really be having some couple of services and professional seek of help when it comes to this manner and of course
those things wont come cheap specially in speaking about treatment on addiction. Quitting is really the main problem for most people specially to those who are addicted into it.
HAving these kind of platforms or services which are basically for free just to help out to those addicted out there, then this is something that really appreciated.

Personal willpower alone will not stop gambling. You need support from therapists, or support groups as it will help in developing accountability and addressing underlying issues. Will power alone will only give a brief solution to gambling. I know that gambling websites have a portion where write about getting help with gambling addiction. They are very helpful can connect gambling addicts to communities and the help resources they need.

The thing is that to get out of any problem things can be very different, because basically when it comes to things like doing more for us it is Necessary , what does it mean ? that if Something is harming us then we have to resist, that is what we must see, Otherwise we could be doing the right things, but if we are falling into the same mistakes, something that Characterizes us as humans because I don't know, It is not the first time that something like this has been done, but there are people who know that they are harming themselves and they are Still there, sometimes I have seen people who fall into addiction but it is not because they make money , or Because they want to make money, but because they feel that they can do it better, it is something like beating the casino and that is something that is not in the normal Parameters, there are people who are like that, of course the monetary factor is that which should be the most Essential , I can say that things in a caisn can be like this and what Each person can do or Generate.

In this case , when we are playing, the Addiction is something that we Should not eliminate and not generate it, that is, when we do not have control over what we play, over what we are willing to lose, it is somewhat difficult, if there is someone who They go to the casinos and play, and they already have their way of playing and they see that there are new rules to avoid falling into Addiction , many times they do not accept them, because they say that their system is the best, and clearly things can be affected when they are does any type of thing that is of a Spending nature , if we see that more management of things can be done in a casino I Recommend that, and when you Win , withdraw , the other error that is generated in a player in the casinos, What is very common is that he does not retreat When he has to retire, a Problematic player can take first place if there are internal Problems within the player, Obviously he will take them to the environment.

I'm talking about something a little different. 
We are talking about the self-awareness of those players whom their environment clearly and almost accurately considers addicted gamblers at the stage of the disease.  And it is clear that such a person’s passion for gambling has become an addiction.  This self-awareness of such a player seems to force him to constantly immerse himself in his world of dreams and fantasies, a little different from our world, the world of gambling.  However, these will not necessarily be some fantastic games like GTA.  This could even be a game of poker, for example.  It’s just that life in such a world forces the player to act in accordance with the laws and rules of such a world.  So he, returning to our world, simply steals money and heads back to his game world.  It’s great if such a person strives to return to our world, this is the first step on the path to recovery.  But many of the addicted players are happy in their game world and they do not want to return to our world.  This is of course a disaster for all their relatives.  But the gambler doesn’t think about this at all.  In this case, only compulsory treatment can return him to our world. 

This is roughly how I imagine this whole process with addicted gamblers.

because OP sees nothing to talk about as he have already addressed all the important details while most of the recent post are already tackled and generic posts that He believes there is nothing to answer.
OP's dedication has been proven as he runs the project on his own from his own pocket so I think we cannot question His motive here.
but for the sake of arguments, just after you post this? OP replies and shows that he is active here and checking each post if needed to answer or to deny.
and one thing is very certain here? that we are all being asked if we are willing to help Him spread this project .

I will have to disagree with you to some extent, not completely. Will power can definitely heal one off gambling addiction, but it all depends on the level the addiction have gotten to, you would agree with me that addiction are of different stages, and for the gambler who have gotten to a very deep level of addiction in gambling, I agree that, will power alone can not bring the gambler out of that addiction, the gambler will have to seek external help, like the one being offered by quitgamble.com.
But for the gambler who is still in their shallow surface of gambling addiction, such gambler can easily quit and come out from such addiction if he or she so want, and apply will power required to stop.

You all in the right in what you have all said. You know, for an addictive gambler to start responding to external supports system he/she must first recognize that what they are doing is wrong and harmful to his/herself and to bear it in mind that whatever measures external bodies are building towards him is for his own good interest.

So first it's the personal will power that count for an addictive gambler before the support from specialist or family and friends come through to compliment it all. It is extremely difficult to give support system to an addictive gambler who sees nothing wrong with his compulsive gambling habit.

You can't underestimate the power of Willpower, maybe it's something else you are referring to but if it is true Willpower, then it's enough to set any addicts free without any therapists, psychiatrists or other similar experts. This is what is helping me at all times and I experienced it at the time when I was addicted many years ago. The thing is that I have a very strong mind, and that is the spirit, and if you can have that Willpower to say "No" to it and you are determined for even just a few days, that might be how you might have gotten healed forever. Except that people remain in their condition and believe they must see experts simply because they do not have the Will to say enough is enough.

But the truth is that Willpower is in categories, and to some, it's very weak, to some moderate, to others strong. This is why you can't judge Willpower entirely because it might be weak in some people and when it's weak, we can't still call it Willpower but Weakwill as the mind of the person would still be dragged by both addiction to gambling and the Willpower, and eventually the gambling might still win. But if someone has that strong Willpower and uses it to fight gambling, such a person doesn't need anyone else as it's a personal determination and will not return to his vomit any longer.

Addiction could be tough but the solution is little as long as the person is really Willing to set himself free.
