Do you want to be free of gambling forever?

[Jaycoinz]

In order to be gambling free you must start by disciplining your mind, addiction is all a state of mind, there must be reprogramming that must take place. First thing you must do is to stop prioritizing it over anything else. A lot of gamblers take out time to gamble leaving out other important things that they are supposed to do at that particular time, this only fuels your addiction and makes you more focused on it. Anything that's considered to be destructive shouldn't be given such importance, focus on the tasks you need to carry out at all times instead of replacing them with gambling. Keeping your mind busy can help.

It is very difficult to get out of gambling addiction, but it is never impossible, get good advice from professionals, get the right help, and you must have willpower and confidence, have faith in yourself and believe that you can get out of the addiction, do not think anything is impossible, if you think you can get out of this addiction completely, then you can actually get out of this addiction. However, it takes a lot of time to get out of this addiction, you cannot suddenly quit gambling completely in a moment. It is a long-term fight, and it requires patience, self-control and proper guidance. Then a gambler can definitely get himself out of this tragic place.

It's not difficult if you have another means of making money. What brings about addiction is money, people get attached to potential money they want to make from gambling and that's not how it work but like I said if you have a source of income and makes money from it, you be very easy if you are really determined unless you are really making money from gambling, you know even people that makes money from gambling can be addicted to gambling.

If many people that claim to like gambling are giving a job offer where they need to world and get paid huge amount of money that worth their time spent, many casino is going to be dry because what they want is already on their hands, it's the ones that are course in gambling that probably stay and even use all the money he made and pour everything into casino again, but this people are few that has and possess this type of behavior.

You would definitely be getting addicted at the time you do make yourself that be thinking that gambling could make you rich on which this is really that a very very wrong mindset to have once you do touch up this space. You should really be that trying out to deal up with it as a form of entertainment and as a form of enjoyment and not on making it as a source of income. The main thing on why people do become desperate is that at the time that they do really deal up with gambling then they do make out that illusion or imagine that they have that become rich with it. On the time that they are experiencing up some loses then they will really be trying out to think that they might not that lucky on that roll, until they would really be continuing until they will really be busting up all of the money they do have. On the time that they've seen themselves that busting all the money they do have then this is the time that they will really be that making out such realization on what are the things that they have done.

For me i use gambling as entertainment.  So no i dont want to be free of gambling.  In terms of advise dont get hooked on the win or dont get down on losses.  Those lead to bad behaviors.  Just like with anything else when you feel ypurself losing enjoyment and more of a need to do it pit it down and do something else.  And if it gets to bad dont feel ashmaed to ask for professional help before it gets to overwhelming.

Some people earn honest money and occasionally gamble for playful fun, while many others face a lifetime of misery by being chained to their addiction. If you ever want to change, the key lies in your mind. Learn a bit about dopamine* addiction, there are some great sources and answers on youtube.

*"Dopamine is a neurotransmitter and hormone produced in the brain that plays a key role in sending messages between nerve cells. It is involved in various functions, including mood regulation, motivation, pleasure, and movement control." 

Being free means getting loose from something that you are locked up with, and in gambling being free means getting loose from gambling addictions. So if you really want to be free there's more to what you need to do inorder to achieve that freedom and it start by making the right decisions which involves having control over your mind, cause it's the creative force responsible for a change. I know it's kind of hard to be free from gambling bondage but it all starts with you, once you're ready for it then you'll get it all done.

for someone to be a gambling free you must do have a determination of what you do concerning gambling but if you don't have a determination I don't think that you can be able to be a gambling free because wherever our mindset is it is the place we are so therefore I think about the best thing someone can do to be gambling free is to exercise a patient and also follow some procedures in gambling because without it I don't think that that person can be a gambling free from my own understanding, gambling has a spirit and that spirit in gambling is what makes up people to be gambling addicted unknowingly so if you fail to control yourself in gambling a can't be free on gambling and you become addicted

Anyone who are found deeply routed into gambling are the people who would source for a way to go away from gambling, or not to get addicted over gambling. Whenever people tried gambling responsibly it's that easier for them to control their gambling characters, though it's limited to people who are that desperate over making money from gambling without knowing that gambling is not what gives instant profits and even if people do claims there are beginners lucks it doesn't reflects to all people who are gambling irrespective of how pro or guru you may seems to be with your skills or and techniques while gambling.

It will be difficult for a gambler like you to get addicted, gambling should primarily be for entertainment, most gamblers now swap in the rightful purpose of gambling, some as a source of income, while some tend to make the habit of constantly visiting and losing money in casino, maybe for the entertainment but excessively doing it is wrong and they meant to pay the huge price of action.

More people here might claim not to need help, but certainly they do, it's not written publicly, but when it has gotten to quick benefits from gambling source, then one desperately needs help.

Those who are gamblers usually there is no way to leave gambling instead of his/her self-control. I usually stop gambling and I might be able to stay away from gambling up to 2 years maximum and become addicted again. This time I am away for about a few months but I do not know I how I will be able to stay away from gambling though each time I decide that I will leave gambling for ever.

[Miles2006]

Avoid gambling always, anyone can pratice self control for a day I believe while maintaining the same energy choosing not to gamble till they’re set can prevent an addict still it’s difficult convincing an addict to change. For a while now the major topic here talks about addiction often and I see different nice opinion shared yet it’s never helpful or they never bother to share their experience although we’ll never know how all this has impacted an addictive gambler. Honestly staying free from gambling forever is not the aim rather getting addicted should be avoided as always, gambling frequent doesn’t guarantee winning that’s what many fail to understand instead always take a break to avoid bad emotions.

Right, maybe for some of us, it's really hard to quit, not because that we are addicted, but we love the game that we play. Like in sports betting that I bet right now, I already knows that my bet is lost already, so in my mind I was mad for not choosing the right or why would I choose that handicap? But at the end of the day, if I will think about it, I enjoy watching the game and so in the end even if I lost my bet, I will be just fine. And then if there is a game that I will love to bet, then I will go and watch and put a stake on it and again, see it and have fun even if in the end, I might take that L. But my stakes is not that big though, so I just live with the money that I'm going to lose in every game that I bet.

I think some people are able to simply gamble for a bit and then continue with their lives.

Not everyone will end up as an addicted gambler, so there's no need to have absolutes like that.

I do agree that for some people the best thing they can do is to actually never gamble, but that doesn't apply to everyone.

Yeah, or if they've been addicted, maybe some of us here was able to get over and then reset,  we still gamble but it's not like when we really go overboard and uses all our money. So we commend those who have recovered. And to be honest, it's very hard to be free of gambling, specially in the time that we have right now, wherein gambling is accessible as it is online.

Maybe both can exists though, we gamble and then we continue with our lives even if gambling is all around us. For me experience, there are days that I can go without gambling and then when I come back, I don't know, I don't have the same feeling as before and just bet on play slots to have some fun and before going to bed.

[tygeade]

Well, in general, sometimes I thought about it, and at first I was ready to do it, but then I realized that it would be nice to bet on my favorite team on a winter evening and watch this match live, get a lot of emotions. It turns out that I lack emotions and it would be better to replace them with others, but gambling is like a habit that can be gotten rid of. The main thing is not to get attached to losses that can drag us in more and more. In fact, I am at the stage when I can take a step and completely give up gambling, but I just think that I don’t need it yet, maybe I will do it later.

To be honest, I believe sports betting is a form of gambling where people can always have control over themselves and do it with care and responsibility, unlike casino games where people can easily lose control and lose more money than they might have intended to lose initially. If someone is into sports, and they know that they understand a sport very well and they always watch the games and know how each team performs and have updates about the sport from here and there, then I don't see anything wrong in that if they make a bet or two on matches they understand well.

In casino games, such as slots, dice, and plinko, you tend to start making higher bets once you see you have lost some money, and that is done so that you can recover the money you've lost, it's a general instict within a human that they can recover the losses and after every lost bet, they feel the next one will be a win, and that makes them lose everything eventually.

Do you want to be free of gambling forever?

Short answer and long answer is yes hahah you can laugh all the way but yesssss I want to stop to do gambling sometimes Im in the point I just don't want to return when I do gamble because all my money that I spend which is a lot, maybe because of an addiction small winning on a single game can make me just excited to play it again which is bad.

non addicted player I do believe they exist is moment when they do gamble for fun literally for fun and doesn't care about the result whether they win or lose.

There are times that I also want to stop gambling totally. This when I uncontrollably gamble because i was either chasing losses or believed in a prediction from these gambling sites. After losing big, I usually feel disappointed and wan to quit the game.

But few years ago, I decided never to gamble more than I have planned and it has really worked well for me. Gambling is now enjoyable and void of regrets since I developed the character of gambling with little funds and never increased my budget regardless of how sure I am that the game will play. For loss chasing, the understanding that you cannot beat the house keeps me in check.

Many people use gambling and alcohol as an escape from all the problems and tensions in their lives, but when they try to find solace in gambling, sometimes they will get stuck in it, so I think when they are already involved further in addiction then there is no effective and easy solution to get them out of the circle, so it is very important not to get involved at all if we do not have strong control and control over our desires including gambling, in my opinion, it is better to avoid as a preventive option than we do rehabilitation for those who are addicted.

In order to be gambling free you must start by disciplining your mind, addiction is all a state of mind, there must be reprogramming that must take place. First thing you must do is to stop prioritizing it over anything else. A lot of gamblers take out time to gamble leaving out other important things that they are supposed to do at that particular time, this only fuels your addiction and makes you more focused on it. Anything that's considered to be destructive shouldn't be given such importance, focus on the tasks you need to carry out at all times instead of replacing them with gambling. Keeping your mind busy can help.

I think you can be free of gambling while still enjoying betting on a game if this guy is referring to feel people feeling forced to do it because of an addiction. He is essentially circumventing an ongoing discussion rhetorically. It's like asking someone who enjoys parties a lot with alcohol, but never drinks too much, whether that person would prefer to be free of alcohol forever. The core of the topic here is the same as it has been a hundred times on this forum now: if someone is addicted, would that person prefer to be free of anything that the person is addicted to? The answer is yes as addiction includes a loss of mind control, which actually nobody likes.

To want to be free of gambling I should feel trapped by it or it should cause me problems of some kind, and this is not the case, so I don't want to. I have been years playing poker almost every day without it bringing me more than economic benefits and now I gamble from time to time without it causing me problems. It would be foolish to want to give it up forever.

That's an interesting point.

Of course if something only brings you positive things, then it wouldn't make sense to stop it.

I think it's mostly for people that are consumed by gambling, that they are pouring all their life savings into it the ones that are having issues and want to quit.

Every person has a different relationship with gambling of course, and for many people it seems to not cause harm, so no problem keeping it.

However, the extent to which a gambler can abstain depends solely on the gambler's personal willpower and ability to control themselves. However, the sooner a gambler can stop gambling, the better it will be for that gambler. The sooner a student can quit gambling, the easier it will be for them to build a career. The sooner a family's main breadwinner can abstain from gambling, the more likely it will be for him or her to restore the family's financial well-being. However, if a gambler makes a strong determination, he will definitely be able to quit gambling forever.
