[YOSHIE]

I find no other place worthy to cry out my pain so I decided to bring it to this thread for assistance. Please, I need help

There is also nothing here that can help you in the problem of gambling addiction, not only you, many members here are worse than you the problem if you talk about gambling addiction.

Those who are here can only give you advice, but all that is in you how to overcome your gambling addiction, I think you are still normal to think about addiction, because you can still discuss here Most of those who are addicted no more to think of solving addiction problems, whatever their people say do not care, they still do their gambling activities.

My advice, the only one to solve your problem about addiction, delete all online gambling sites on your device, try to go to calm yourself away from those who know about gambling Let what has happened, don't remind anymore, start a normal life without gambling, maybe it's better for you.

The fact that you recognize the problem is already good, it would be much worse if you denied the addiction. The first you need to do it to warn your loved ones that you have a problem and together to look for a specialist who will help you figure out what to do next, if there are no loved ones, look for the hotline of the psychological Support should be unequal and abnormal, act! The sooner you begin to get rid of the problem faster.

You should have thought about it before you got addicted. Now you are addicted to gambling. And it is very difficult to get out of addiction to anything.

Even then you understand that you are addicted. Many gamblers do not even understand this. However, you may well understand that you have suffered a lot due to your gambling addiction. You have lost a lot of money and have also suffered mentally.

I would say that if you want to stay away from gambling addiction, you should give more time to your family now. Keep yourself busy with other things. And I do not think you have anything else to do except this. Also, if you are religious, then participate in your religious ceremonies. As a result, maybe you will be able to gradually move away from the addiction.

The route out of any form of addiction is decide that you're going to be responsible for how you're going to go about that act. Be it pornography, taking of drugs or even gambling. What you read and the theories you try to replicate might do little to nothing serious if you're not resolved enough to get ride of the habit for the better.

For the fact that you've gambled to the extent where it is giving sleepless night shows that you're ready addicted and the best way out is to intentionally alt your gambling for a while till you gain full control on how frequent you gamble and how soon you go back to gambling after you've lost a certain amount. There is no guarantee that the way out of addiction is going to be really swift without the urge of going back or gambling in an irresponsible way. You just have to keep working on being a better gambling and additionally get serious at your regular job so you don't have all the luxury of time to always think of gambling. Gambling is supposed to be done at your convenience and should never be what becloud your thought at the time you're supposed to be actively working. Work on your idleness and ensure you're always engaged in something really productive and see how slowly and gradually the urge to gambling at every point in time gradually fades away.

Do you think there is no other place that can take your mind off gambling? Like fishing or other hobbies that you can forget about gambling?

What is the advice of your close friends and family about this situation? Did you tell them everything?
Because we know here you will only see some advice but in practice you will not feel.

I hope you're okay, if it's true that you've become addicted to gambling.

The first thing you need to do urgently is to stop gambling immediately. Then seek psychological help in the real world. If you stop gambling for a long time and are getting psychological help in the real world, and also start now to do things in the real world that can take up a lot of your time, this will be good for you to forget about gambling and be happy in the real world. When a person has many things to enjoy in the real world, that person does not become addicted to gambling.

First of all you must stop over thinking about your past bets. Then you need to understand why you bet or gamble compulsory. What Is your reason for these issues?
If you are scared to lose more..the best trick for crypto gamblers Is to adopt immediately many cold wallets.or even time lock!

Folks, read my post.

@OP was never post in Gambling board before, he mostly post in his local board, Bitcoin discussion and Economy. But, after he applying for casino based review campaign and signature campaign, then he started to post in Gambling board.

So, how can be a non gambler is getting addicted to gambling?

@OP is just trying to post in gambling board, in order to convince the manager, he even create a fake story.

Haha. I think so. He is not a gambler, but how he suddenly became addicted to gambling, and how he lost a lot in gambling, is also a mystery. He may be lying, we do not know for sure.

However, we must know about gambling addiction before gambling. If we just gamble like a fool, we will easily lose everything, that is for sure. We must gather knowledge about gambling, become experienced, and also know about gambling addiction. If we do not know about gambling properly, we will lose money.

Make yourself busy because once you are not you will keep thinking about playing gambling there's a lot of activity right there, go walk, socialize, gym and etc. Do some activity and not just keep sitting on your chair and keep seeing the monitor or screen of your phone related into gambling. Thats the advice I can give even we give our statement here to stop gambling still its on your part to do the move.

[Victorybit1]

Fist thing you must know is that an addiction cannot just be stopped easily, it takes a lot of time and effort, you'll definitely fail at some point but it's going to be a work in progress. Don't stress over quitting in a within a short time otherwise this might only frustrate you when relapses happens. The way to stop gambling addiction is by limiting your engagement in it, if you are the type that likes to gamble for hours cut down the time to 2 or 5 minutes max, and also reduce the number of times you gamble in a week. What you are doing is that you are giving less attention to it and with time you'd start to notice that it wouldn't interest you anymore. This is the system that worked for me. And one last thing also cut down what you stake to the Lowest amount that you know you can lose comfortably.

Share your problem with your family or friends, as they can comfort you more than we can help you. Forum members can just give you a piece of advice, but I don't think it is enough for you to move on.Because the solution to that is to stop gambling. Find a way to make it, and you're going okay. But if you still fall into temptation again. Well, there is a big problem with you already. It was you alone who could make it, not us or your family and friends.

Gambling is indeed very addictive and its addiction can have several catastrophic effects on the victim if not tackled in time. It’s good that you decided to speak up, because that is in fact the very first step towards fighting gambling addiction. Yes, the first thing is to acknowledge that you’re addicted and also admit that you need help, this means that you’re aware that if you do not do anything about it, the outcome wouldn’t be nice, so this would enable you to seek and receive help when and where necessary.

Now, one of the best ways to tackle addiction is to try and stay aware from gambling as much as you can by looking for something else that’ll distract you from gambling, because you can only be affected by gambling addiction when you gamble, so if you can find a hobby or something that can distract you from gambling for at least a month or two, then you’re on your way to freedom, because if you can be able to go a month or two without gambling (which is impossible for an addict) then that means that you’re already getting the help you seek, and the more you’re able to go without gambling, the more free you are from your addiction. Try this, it’s very effective.

When you are not ready, then never step. Gambling is a game played by people with steel mentality, they are ready to accept all the consequences that occur in gambling. Try to find other activities that can reduce your desire to continue gambling, such as exercising, or developing a new hobby.
Another way you can do this is by blocking access to gambling sites and avoiding associating with gamblers.

Having a hobby is easy to figure. He could either choose sports or just pets where you can join a group of people with same interest.

Pets like dogs or fresh water fishes where there are people who are very fond of it. With pets you can easily go with people who are into it in pet shops. Same with sports or he could try just gardening or fishing. These are the easiest by far where there are existing group of people you can chat with in facebook or forums and ts going to be easy to forget gambilng.

I don't know if this helps but I was in almost such situation, not this heavily addicted but clearly addicted as could not stay a single day without gambling. Deep inside me I always wanted to quit as I was getting angry and bored over losing in a consistent way every single day for almost one year, from January 2024 to November 2024 all bad days, all lost days though I kept going. In early January 2025 I was bombarded with 5 consecutive super buy bonus games lost in a row, you know buying a super bonus cost 500x your bet and 5 times in a row costs 2500x your bet amount. After losing 5 in a row and paying 2500x and got in return near 15x I definitely quit as this was crystal, absolutely crystal clear example that gambling is an absolute scam, simply they get 2500x and give you back 15x which is less than 1 percent and this story should give anyone enough insights to stop gambling.

It seems like your addiction problem is quite serious if it starts to interfere with your rest time. If the situation is like that, you need to talk to an expert in this matter and try to listen to some suggestions that you can do to create peace in your mind first.
Getting out of gambling addiction is not easy, I see some people like that and experience destruction in their lives. You may not be too late, so you have to make your control well. Maybe you can start with a friend or someone you trust whose words you can listen to. When you want to gamble, discuss your limits with him, and ask him to warn you when you start approaching the limit.
You may have to do it gradually.

[rodskee]

mate it will not be fast so do not get frustrated and expect yourself to get better the next day

there would be a lot of effort needed from your side to make sure you recover fully you might want to start with telling someone (not here in the internet) but someone that is close to you and someone you trust because having someone as a support system can make a lot of a difference and to have them support you in this journey would make it a tad easier

I don't know if this helps but I was in almost such situation, not this heavily addicted but clearly addicted as could not stay a single day without gambling. Deep inside me I always wanted to quit as I was getting angry and bored over losing in a consistent way every single day for almost one year, from January 2024 to November 2024 all bad days, all lost days though I kept going.

this kind of stories is basically what an addiction is logically you know that it is bad but you keep going because it is what your mind tells you to do and even if you are losing you keep coming back for more

sheer determination would not work sometimes you have to actually turn your thoughts into actions although i think that acknowledgement of addiction is a good start

good luck op i hope you can start today your recovery path

[Jaycoinz]

Gambling addiction is psychological so you need to work on your mind and discipline yourself, a lot of people say that they want to quit and after a few days they find themselves back into gambling. Gambling addiction is very difficult to quit but it's not impossible. Work on distracting your mind and doing other activities that can keep you occupied, it would be better if those activities can generate income for you so it would be easy to fix your mind on it. The more you keep doing this you'd find out that you don't really have that time to sit down and gamble all day, work on doing productive things with your time.

no offense but there are literally Doctors who specialize in mental illnesses like gambling addiction. I am not saying that you couldn't share your story here but Psychiatrists are the people you really need to ask for help especially if it is negatively affecting your life. not only they will help you treat your addiction they will also help you manage it to prevent relapse so you can live a life without the fear of your addiction.

No offense, but you are still carrying a casino in your signature? If you really wanted to quit then why promote it here in the community. It's like contracting yourself, (not to burst the bubble), sure maybe you can stop and quit, but you still have the environment around you that can influence you to go and play again and again, just saying.

And if you are true to yourself, you can go and see this thread:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5472898.0

As you can go to that website and maybe it can help you.

I was thinking the same thing about the signature. Ok it is possible to try and quit
but still advertise a casino in a profile signature but its best to try cut ties completely.

As for how to do it, I would suggest seeking professional help, its ok seeking out
friends and family but they are not going to be  qualified to help with such
a specialised problem. The OP has already acknowledged there is a
problem so IMO

The first step is actively seeking out you local addiction services.

The second step is actually calling them to make arrangements to visit etc.

The third step is going there to participate in workshops etc.

The fifth step is talking about your addiction.
